May Favourites 2016

Just like every month this year, its flown past and has been amazing! The highlight of the month was definitely the last week, me and my boyfriend just chilled in a city near us, Cardiff. Went shopping, a few hauls will be on here as a post, soon!! But it was amazing, and I had a lovely time just chilling out. However, obviously I am going to share some things which I have discovered this month and/or I have just plain and simple just fallen in love with!!

Coconut nail polishes Barry M - I can't remember if I got these at the end of last month or this month. But I really like them, you don't need a base coat and then are supposed to have coconut oils and good things in to protect your nails. Which is amazing for me, because my nails are so awful. They have gorgeous shades too, I have one pink called alhoa and a nude one called tiki hut. Gorgeous colours for summer!

Clinique Anti-Blemish Gel - Yet again my skin has been playing up. I seem to say this every month now, I don't know what is happening! But I don't like it. I really like Clinique as a brand, I think they are just very good at getting results. They are fragranced free and just very dermatologic, this Anti-Blemish Gel is very good too, you just apply it to the areas you need or all over your face and it basically helps to get rid of any spots and blemishes.

Rimmel White Eyeliner - I think I go through phases with wearing white eyeliner in my waterline. Last July I wrote a post, and included them http://goo.gl/32gizt. But I have been wearing white eyeliner in my waterline pretty much everyday this month. It brightens the eyes  and also makes you look like you've had lots of sleep, plus it does make them appear larger. 

No7 Stay Perfect Foundation - I have been wearing this as my everyday foundation this month. But I have been coming out of it at the end of the month, because it is a very pale shade and I am pale naturally but I have been loving a fake tan too - you wait and see! The foundation is a demi-matte finish, so its not really dewy but its not a flat matte, it gives a medium coverage but you can build it up. I have the shade 'calico' which is the lightest shade. But I do really rate No7, especially as they can colour match you and find the right foundation for you.

NYX Soft Matte Lip - Cannes - I have been wearing this lipstick every day this month, its amazing. Its not nude but its not too bright. It's prefect for in the day, and it just gorgeous. It's matte and very long lasting. It reminds me of a 'your lips but better' shade, oh dear I went there. I want some more colours of these, I can't wait to check a NYX stand out (available online and at Boots). I ordered this one online, but it's hard to see the colours, so I did go on a bit of a whim with this shade.

St. Tropez Tan - Everyone I know has literally been raving about this tan for ageeees! So this month I actually picked one up, and I have fallen in love. It's the best tan I have ever used, seriously amazing. You apply the guide colour and you can either leave it on for 1 hour (light) 2 hours (medium) or 3 hours (dark). I have been doing about 2 and a half hours. It gives a gorgeous colour, and wears really lovely, it doesn't do that patchy thing where it just comes off some places and not others. Also, no need to sleep in the tan and get it all over your white sheets - amazing!

My favourite, favourite of the month, that I briefly mentioned at the start... Me and my boyfriend, went away to Cardiff for the bank holiday weekend at the end of May. We had been together for 3 years, so we wanted to do something special. We just went shopping, had cocktails, chilled, went to the beach and ate out a lot!!! I would say the day we went to the beach, was my favourite day of the year so far!

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!
