BEAUTY FAVOURITES - MARCH 2026

March has been one of those months where I feel like I’ve really locked into my routine and figured out what’s actually working for me.

Most of these products are things I use every single day and have have genuinely earned a permanent place in my collection.

So as always, here’s everything I’ve been loving, reaching for on repeat, and genuinely rating this month…

-

Maybelline Super Lock Brow Glue

I’ve been using this for a few months now and it’s slowly taken the place of the L’Oréal Infallible Brow Gel that I used to swear by.

They’re very similar, but I find this one has a slightly thicker texture, which gives a bit more hold - perfect for keeping my brows locked in all day.

It’s even more affordable than the L’Oréal, and the tube has lasted me so much longer too. You get such a good amount of product for the price.

The Inkey List PHA Toner

This has become such a staple in my routine. If you’re looking to start exfoliating more consistently (or even daily), this is such a great place to begin.

PHA (polyhydroxy acids) are a gentler form of chemical exfoliant compared to AHAs and BHAs: they work on the surface of the skin to remove dead skin cells while also helping to hydrate, rather than strip.

It’s perfect for sensitive skin or anyone who wants that glow without irritation.

And as always with The Inkey List, it’s super affordable and amazing value for money.

MERIT The Uniform Tinted Mineral SPF 50

I actually bought this on a whim while browsing in Sephora and I’m so glad I did. It’s become an almost everyday product for me.

As someone who doesn’t wear makeup day-to-day (I know… shocking for a pro MUA), I usually let my skin breathe when I’m working with clients, going to the gym, or just running errands.

But recently I’ve been putting a bit more effort into my “everyday face", because when you look good, you feel good, right?

This fits perfectly into that "no-make-up make-up" vibe. It’s a mineral sunscreen, so it does leave the slightest cast initially, but it settles down really quickly.

I wouldn’t rely on this alone for SPF (you’d need too much product), but one pump over my regular SPF gives the most beautiful, lightweight tint and looks so natural on the skin.

I’m obsessed and will 100% be repurchasing!!

The Ordinary Lactic Acid 10% + HA

I’ve been using this for years and it’s still a favourite.

It’s such a simple but effective exfoliating product, and I love using it on my exfoliation night as part of my skin cycling routine (usually after retinol nights).

The addition of hyaluronic acid means it exfoliates without compromising the skin barrier, while also keeping the skin hydrated.

They do a 5% version too, so if you’re new to acids or have sensitive skin, I’d start there.

Redken All Soft Shampoo & Conditioner

I have finally found a shampoo and conditioner duo that I genuinely love...and I’m not switching anytime soon.

My hair is quite dry and prone to frizz, so I need something that cleanses properly (especially as I use a lot of oils and styling products), but without stripping my hair: this does exactly that.

The shampoo leaves my hair feeling clean but still soft, and the conditioner is a perfect “does the job” everyday conditioner - it nourishes without weighing my hair down.

I use it on wash days when I’m not using a mask.

The jumbo sizes on LookFantastic are such good value, and you can use my code LFTFCHLOEMYKEL to save some £££ if you want to try them!

Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Blurring Balm

I tried this nearly a year ago and I remember being shocked at the difference it made to my make-up.

As a combination/oily skin girl, I’m used to getting shiny pretty quickly, but this primer genuinely holds oil at bay for so much longer.

I remember checking the mirror expecting to be shiny… and I just wasn’t. You only need the tiniest amount (a little goes a long way), and I focus it on my T-zone, forehead, nose, chin, and smile lines.

I don’t know what kind of magic is in this, but it is that product when you want your make-up to stay flawless and shine-free all day or night.

CeraVe Balancing Air Foam Cleanser

Lash extension girlies, tap in!! This is a must-have...

I love using this before make-up because it’s gentle, balances oil and hydration, and is safe to use on lash extensions.

There are no oils that will break down the adhesive, so it’s the perfect “lazy girl” step to cleanse both your skin and lashes at the same time while prepping the skin for make-up.

Aimike Nano Tech Pro Hair Brush

This was such a random Amazon purchase after my beloved GHD blow dry brush finally gave up, and I’m sooo glad I took the chance...

It’s genuinely one of the best blow dry brushes I’ve ever used.

It comes in different sizes and has a mix of bristle types, which helps it glide through the hair much more easily than traditional brushes.

I also find it feels a lot less damaging, which is perfect as I’m really focusing on hair health right now and minimising breakage.

PS...Pro Cream Bronzer

A cream bronzer from Primark that’s actually good?! Yup!

And at just £5 it’s an absolute steal! Easily one of the best budget beauty buys I’ve made this year.

The texture is sooo buttery and smooth, and it blends out seamlessly every single time.

Perfect if you’re a make-up novice or just getting into cream bronzers.

I picked up the shade Bronze and it’s the ideal warm tone, not too orange at all.

It's perfect for a minimal, everyday make-up, but I've also been adding it into my full glam product rotation too.

These went a bit viral recently and sold out everywhere, so if you see one… grab it!!

Soap & Glory Vanilla-licious Body Wash

Last but not least: this one deserves a shoutout.

I’m a vanilla girl at heart, and if you are too, you will love this. I

t’s creamy, smells incredible, and has notes of warm caramel - very “smell like a bakery” vibes (which I’m fully here for).

If you love scents like Sol de Janeiro 71, this is right up your street.

Soap & Glory products are always amazing value for money, and you get such a generous amount of product.

The whole range is lush, and the body scrub is also a fave.

And that’s everything I’ve been loving throughout March!

I feel like I’ve really found my rhythm with my routine lately, and these are the products that have been making me feel the most confident, put together version of myself.

Let me know if you’ve tried any of these!
