April Favorites




Another month has gone by and I'm actually early for my April Favorites! woohoo!!

LOreal Paris Skin Perfection Day Moisturiser-
I have been wanted to try this for a while and when I finally used up all my many other moisturisers I ran out to buy it! I love how light and silky it feels on my skin, and since using it I have noticed my skin feeling a lot smoother. I like to use this every morning under make up and I use it at night when I want a light night cream. I'm not too keen on scent but the 50ml pot has been lasting me ages. 

Make Up Revolution Radiant Light- Breathe

Since seeing Miss Budget Beauty rave about this I needed it in my life! It is such a nice and natural creamy gold highlight. I use it over my cheek bones and dust it over my forehead, down my nose and chin. You can really use the colour all over the face to be honest as it isn't too shimmery. It is so nice and smooth doesn't have chunky glitter in it. I love the packaging it is superb for the price and feels a lot more expensive than it is.

LOreal Paris Infallible Matte Foundation 

I am so pleased with this drugstore foundation! I apply it with my Real Techniques buffing brush and with one layer it gives me good coverage, if I layer another on the areas I need it (chin, apples of my cheeks and nose) it looks even better. It is a high coverage foundation but it feels pretty light weight on my skin. I don't think it lasts quite 24 hours matte free but it does a pretty good job for last all day at work. I would defo recommend for you oily skin girls!

Bourjois Colorband 2-in-1-Eyeshadow and Liner

I really didn't need to buy these as I have quite a few of these type products already but hey I still bought them! I was attracted to the bronze on first, 02 Brun and I LOVE IT! It is perfect for spring and summer. It has a lovely light shimmer in it and the copperey colour is so easy to wear in the day time. The other colour I bought was 04 rose which is really pretty mixed with a goldey one I have from another brand. They feel so soft and light on your eyes and is so easy to use.



My random favorite is these very very cute Disney Tsum Tsums!!! 
I first saw these on  Tartanmouth instagram and i knew me and Russ had to start collecting them!!

Hero's Under £5

We all love a bargain don't we? And with life getting more and more expensive with grown up things like cars, deposits for houses and of course the odd holiday every so often, we all have to cut back on somethings. In this post I have narrowed down my make up hero's that are £5 and under.




Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer- £4.19

This one is an obvious choice and a blogger favorite but for just over 4 pound it is an absolute bargain. It is one of the best concealers that I have used and the coverage is unbelievable. I find it brightening under the eye and has enough staying power to cover those pesty spots all day long.   

NYC Liquid Eye Liner- £2.49

I have a love/hate relationship with liquid eyeliner, mainly due to my attempts at winged eyeliner in the pass but I have fallen head over heels in love with this one. Mainly because of the brush, it is super thin and so easy to control. It lines my eyes brilliantly and I find the wings of my eyeliner (when i'm in that kinda mood) always fly high! I find the staying power good and it removes effortlessly with a micellar water.

SEVENTEEN Brow Sculpting Pencil- £2.89

This brow pencil has the right amount of wax and power mixture going on. The colour is great too and as you can see form the photo I have used it a lot. It is a quick and easy way to fill in your brows and has pretty good staying power for £2.89.

NYC Cosmetics Single Eye Shadows- £5.00

I normally find these babies in a cheapy make up shop in town, they normally cost me about £1.99 I think. I couldn't find a link to cheapy ones but still full price they are £5.00! YAY! My friend Hannah recommended me these and I have never looked back. The quality and pigment of the colour is AMAZING for the price. They blend super well and the choice of colours is slightly overwhelming! I will defo be picking up some more to add to my collection.

Make Up Revolution Lip Lava- £2.99

I had wanted these for ages and I finally was tempted to make an online order! I was so pleased I did as these did not disappoint. I have them in 2 colours (and think I need the whole collection), I have the mid pink and the bright orange. I haven't worn the orange as yet and I'm waiting for sunnier weather but the pink is amazing! I love the way they apply and last pretty well, even better on silky smooth lips (mine have been SO dry at the mo!). I love the packaging, you would not think they only cost £2.99.

MUA Single Blushers- £1.00

A Blusher for a pound I had to give this a go and WOW I'm so glad I did! The pigment of them is amazing, if you can be a bit heavy handed (like me!) then make sure you tap, tap that brush before you apply! The colour I have is Lolly, a coral-y, pink and I really like it! I will defo be re-purchasing more of these and for £1 why not get the whole set!

What is your go-to product under £5?

March Favourites


Dead Sea Spa Magik Mild Exfoliant 

I just love how quick and easy this is to use in the shower. The sand partials polish away dead skin perfectly and leave my skin super soft, clean and feeling rejuvenated. I use this about twice a week, or as and when my skin needs it. My make up apples much smother and nicer once using this exfoliant. I love the easy to use tube, no faff with opening a jar or anything!

Make Up Revolution All Day and Night Liner in Channeling My Inner
This has been my go to eyeliner ever since I got it in mid-March. First off it was super cheap (about £2 I think), it's so soft to apply to the eye (my eyes are major sensitive too), it has great pay off showing a lovely deep bronze colour and finally the staying power! It's great! 

Lush Mask of Magnaminty

I recived this mask for my birthday at the beginning of March and have used it every week since. After using it my skin feels so deeply cleansed (but in a gentle way!), so fresh and my blemishes have definitely improved. Luckily enough I recived two tubs which I am majorly happy with as it will remain in my skin care routine for a long time.

Rimmel Clear Complexion Powder

I have been using this powder for a few months now and it's now my holy grail. It's not to cakey or heavy and sets my make up really well. I use it's with my RealTechniques powder brush (funny that!) on my t-zone, it doesn't add colour just powders the skin. The price is fab too, I think I may need to repurchase another one to keep in my handbag!
