April Beauty Favorites

So its that time of the month again, April Favorites!




As Spring has FINALLY sprung in England my theme for make-up has been alot brighter and fresher so my most reached for products represent that change.



For me my absolute favorite thing in the whole world is eye make-up, I am addicted. So for me the first part of my everyday makeup routine that witnesses this change without a doubt is my eyes. In the colder months I tend to opt for a darker smokey eye, but the second I see sun I crave something lighter and brighter. The products I have been using to make this change have been the Seventeen Eye Eye Crayon in the colour 'Iced', Seventeen Eyeshadow Mono and Maybelline EyeStudio Color Tattoo 24hr Cream Gel Eyeshadow in the shade 'Pink Nude'. I have been using the eye shadow as a base, the pencil in the corners of my eyes and brow bones and the cream eyeshadow smudged on the outer edges of my eyes.



For my lips I have been loving (something that is not on the whole a spring make up item) the Collection Work the Colour Lip Butter in the shade 'Perfect Plum'. This lip butter is so perfect for me. It goes on beautifully and the nib makes it easy to trace your lips beautifully. Also it does not leave residue on anything you put too your lips so dramatically so for £3 its a winner for me.



I have never really been a person to ware blusher, ever. I have sensitive skin on my cheeks and actively avoid putting anything redder on them in case it sticks. But, whist I was looking round down as my boyfriend was in his guitar lesson I went to superdrug (something which I rarely do due to one not being near where I live) and the MUA blushers caught my eye as they were £1. I bought the MUA blusher in the colour 'Lolly' which is a coral-ly colour as I avoided anything too pink toned. I am so pleased with this purchase as for me it blends perfectly and also adds a more spring-toned look to my face.






And finally skincare. For me this month has been all about me finally sorting out my skincare routine. To do this two products have really stood out for me, these have been the Garnier Pure Micellar Cleansing Water and the Tea Tree Skin Clearing Foaming Cleanser from The Body Shop. I use the micellar water to take off my eye make up, which it does so beautifully with no overpowering scent or stinging feeling around my eyes, and the cleanser to then thoroughly wash my face. These products have helped my skin get to such a beautiful standard. I have had one breakout since caring for my skin everyday (something which I am not used to) but I feel as though it had more to do with stress and hormones. It did clear up in about two to three days which I was very happy with.





Yay! Finally did it, a monthly favorites on time!
Hope you are all well, thank you SOOOO much for supporting and following me, it honestly means the world.

    1. You must, I put off buying any for about a year and I honestly have no idea why, they are so wonderful!

  3. I have that Work The Color lip butter as well, I really love the shade and how creamy it is, but I find it bleeds onto the skin around my lips really easily which is annoying!
