Hello!
It's the beginning of May which means April is over (I'm such a genius...) WHICH MEANS it's time for my monthly favourites. I've been mixing things up a lot this month and trying loads of new products which has been fun. My skin has also been going CRAZY thanks to exam/assignment/general university stress. Thanks life. So yes, lots of new things that I love. Without further ado....here's what they are.
The Body Shop Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil- This is a beautifully soft and moisturising cleanser that I've been using morning and night. It retails for £12 which is a great price considering the quality of the product. I use two pumps in the morning, work it all over my face and rinse with warm water. In the evening (when I'm removing makeup) I'll use three pumps to really break down the products on my face. I'll definitely be re-purchasing this when I'm done.
Next up in the LOreal Infallible 24 Hour Matte Foundation; I've already raved about this in my review I did the other week so I won't go on and on, but I really do love this. It has fast become my favourite drugstore foundation.
The Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Rose Gold is the prettiest lid shade, just worn on it's own, with something a little darker in the crease or under other shadows. It's the PERFECT base for the Naked 3 palette. It also lasts ages on the eyes and doesn't crease.
The Benefit The PoreFessional is an old favourite, but I'm especially appreciating it now as the weather is starting to get warmer and I'm needing to make my makeup last longer. I use this just on my t-zone (forehead, nose and chin) leave it to set for a minute that carry on with foundation. It's a great primer, what more can I say?
As I said, the weather is getting warmer and I'm starting to feel more summery so I want a bit of glow on my face, without being oily. The highlighter from the Sleek Face Form Palette (Light) does the job really beautifully. It's a golden toned shimmer so looks nice and natural on the skin and gives just the right amount of glow.
I've really been enjoying the LOreal True Match Concealer. It covers my under eye circles really well and also acts as a bit of a highlighter. It's creamy, but not too thick and blends in really smoothly.
My skin has been going a little nuts recently...I've been breaking out, but at the same time my skin has been very dry. To combat the dryness I've been using the Balance Me Radiance Face Mask. I've got a creamy texture, but also has a bit of grit to it (due to the walnut shells in there to polish the skin). I leave it on for about 10 minutes, rinse off then moisturise thoroughly. It re-plumps my skins and gets it feeling nourished again.
My final beauty favourite for April is Daisy Dreams by Marc Jacobs. I usually like darker floral fragrances, but this perfume is just so pretty I can't help but wear it. It's light and fresh, but sticks around on the skin for a long time. And the bottle is just SO pretty!! I also have the accompanying body wash and lotion which really helps to amp up the fragrance. It's perfect for Spring.
My fashion favourite for this month has been my limited edition Star Wars Vans.

My fashion favourite for this month has been my limited edition Star Wars Vans.
Not only are they super comfy, as with all of Vans shoes, they have Yoda on them AND the aglets( the plastic bits at the end of the shoe laces) are light sabres. Yes, slightly geeky I know, but I think these are great and perfect for any Star Wars fans out there or just those that like to have slightly quirky shoes.
So there you have it, my April favourites. What have you been loving this past month?
