April Favourites 2017

It's monthly favourites time,  I love looking back on the month and thinking about what products and things I have been loving. So lets just get straight into it...

Ted Baker Makeup Bag
This was the month where I really needed a new makeup bag, mine was very battered around, the zip had fallen off and it was just full of foundation marks. So I took a trip into Boots and found this gorgeous Ted Baker bag. The reason I love it so much, is that it honestly fits everything in! I am the type of person that will take a nude, pink and red lipstick and I will take a few different eye palettes depending on the lipstick... I am a nightmare. Also, how pretty is it? 

No7 Serum - SKINCARE
No7 launched their newest serum to their collection 'Restore and Renew Face and Neck Serum' which is for mature skin, to fade away any creepiness. I don't actually need that serum YET, but I did purchase their serum for the first signs of ageing. So far I have been using it for about 3 weeks, and I can already see improvements. Especially with my under skin spots *cry* they have really faded! 

L'Oreal Moistriser - SKINCARE
This is such a weird product and it isn't actually what I thought it was, I thought it was a serum type of product and I just threw it in my basket because it was on offer and I said to myself 'I will give it a go'. But it's actually a moisturiser, a lot like the Lancome Energy de vie. I have found it's really nice and cooling on the skin. Sinks in beautifully, a very watery texture, but I really like that. The only thing I will say, is that it is quite highly fragranced, like a lot of L'Oreals skincare. 

Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara - MAKEUP
I have actually used this mascara before and I am sorry if I have mentioned it somewhere before. But I can't remember mentioning it, so I thought I would speak about it now. The reason I love this mascara is because it just seems to make my lashes look like theres lots and lots of lashes that I didn't even know I had. It's an amazing all round mascara, it gives length, volume and so much definition! 

NYX Dewy Finish Long Lasting Setting Spray - MAKEUP
Again a product I have used before and that I have repurchased this month. The reason I don't think I've mentioned this before is because back then I hadn't really tried many setting sprays, but now I have tried a few more. The NYX one is amazing for the price and the best one I've found in the drugstore. I love the actual spray on it, it doesn't just hit you in the face, its much more of a mist which is the real reason it's the best I've found. Also, it definitely makes a difference to the staying power of my makeup! 

DIOR Pure Poison EDP - FRAGRANCE 
This isn't a new launch for Dior, their newest fragrance in the poison range is 'Dior Poison Girl EDT' which is very sweet. However, I have come across pure poison  it's a very distinctive scent, strong but not too strong, floral but just incredible. I have been wearing this pretty much every day this month and I really love it! Not your typical spring fragrance, but one you NEED to go and smell! 

Alessia Cara - MUSIC
I have honestly been obsessed with this girl recently, I think her voice is amazing, I love every song she's made. I haven't really listened to anything but her! My favourite songs are 'wild things (acoustic version) and scars to your beautiful' LOVE HER

April Favourites 2016

Before getting the products together for this post, I thought I haven't really got anything I've been loving this month, however I don't know what I was thinking about because I've got quite a bit to share...

Topshop duck egg blue Raincoat (I'm sorry I couldn't find the colour of mine, so heres the white/yellow/orange ones topshop)
As soon as I saw this on the website, I had to get it. It's such a lovely coat for the April weather, for the April showers, but also it's such a lovely colour for spring. I kept telling my family that 'its my spring coat'. I haven't seen anything like this before either, so I had to pick it up and I honestly am in love.

Biore Cleanser
This month has been a horrible month for my skin, its getting into that seasonal change where my skin just freaks out. As it's getting slightly warmer (SLIGHTLY) my skin has decided to get all spotty and breakout. So I resorted back to my trusty Biore Cleanser, this is a charcoal cleanser, with little beads in, which helps to get really deep into your pores and just feels amazing. My skin always feels so much cleaner after I use this, and it's just been a must for this month.

Rimmel blusher - Santa Rose
Without even noticing this month, I have been reaching for this blusher most days, pretty much if you have seen me, this is what has been on my cheeks. The reason I love this blusher is because its so easy, it goes with everything, any eye or lip look. Its natural, but still gives you some sheen on the cheeks. It's a gorgeous nude/coral shade, and I absolutely love it. Plus its affordable!!

Fake tan
I'm just going to title this little section 'fake tan' because I have been obsessed with looking bronzed and a little bit more tanned. I have tired some new ones, and also gone back to a very old favourite. I think I may be doing a whole blog post on my fake tans and how I apply them. But the ones I have been using is the St. Tropez In the shower tan as just a very slight gradual tan, and I have now finished a bottle of this, this month!! Also, I've been loving the No7 Perfectly Bronzed Instant tan (medium/dark) and I have really been loving this one, for a slight tan, which lasts a few days, but it's nothing crazy! I think this tan is amazing for everyday and for people who aren't wanting to look orange and crazy! Lastly is a very old favourite, St. Mortiz tanning moose, I used to be obsessed with this in my early teens, and I used to plaster it on, then when I left school I just couldn't be bothered to be quite frank. But I repurchased it this month, and I forgot how much of a good tan it is, I got the shade medium, and oh my goodness, its quite dark! I put it on before I go to bed, and then sleep in it and wash it off in the morning. It does stain the bed sheets, but it's worth it, the tan lasted on me for just over a week, and I really love it!

Master Chef
I think Master Chef is only available in the UK. So if you don't have a clue what it is, its basically a TV programme on BBC 1 at about 8pm, and theres loads of contestants and they do different challenges for cooking. I just find it so entertaining, and I get so hungry after watching it. But it's coming up to the final on Monday, I believe... so excited. (I really like Billy & Jane).

I hope you enjoyed reading my favourites for April 2016. We are now in May, which means bank holidays, May fair, candyfloss, holidays, and day trips to the beach... EEEEEKKK excited! Have a lovely month & day!
