♢ April Favorites ♢

Hello guys. A kind-of late April favorites, but I've been doing a lot of revising and I don't have too much time on my hands at the moment :( Thought I'd do an April favorites anyway because they're my favorite type of post to write and I love reading other people's. (If you've done one this month, leave it below!)


Hope you enjoy and I'll be back to more regular posting after the 1st of June :)

Make-up Favorites


Urban Decay Naked Palette - Recently started using this again after neglecting it last month. You can literally do any look with this palette and the lighter shades are soo pretty!
Benefit BADgal Lash - Had this sample with a little set called 'Tan About Tan' by benefit. I wasn't too sure of the big, chunky brush to begin with but now this is the only mascara I always use. I already have long eye-lashes so I like mascara that add volume but don't tangle, or clump my lashes together and this one is perfect for it!
Rimmel 1000 Kisses Lip Tint in Nothing But Nude - I've been wearing this everyday for school since I got it a few weeks back. It's a more intense version of my natural lip colour and stays on for a very long time , I have found though that the product is beginning to dry out :(
Topshop Kohl in Saddle - I love this! It's a slightly coppery brown colour and is so soft and creamy to apply. I apply a thin line on my top lash line and then blend it out for a angled brush. It's very subtle but still defines the lash line well. And it's only £4? Bargain.
Natural Collection Lip Gloss in Fondant - This is one of the only lip gloss' I get a lot of wear out of. I use it over Mac's Rebel Lipstick and it makes the colour a touch lighter so I can get the wear out of it for spring/summer. It also tastes/smells lovely and applies really smoothly.
MAC Satin Lipstick in Rebel - I've been wearing this lipstick every time I've gone out anywhere nice or when I've had the chance to wear a more brighter lip. It's a really pretty deep fuchsia purple colour and I've had loads of compliments when I've worn it. It also stays on for forever!
MAC Eye shadow in Rice-Paper - I love this eye-shadow swept all over the lid as it's a gorgeous shimmering muted gold colour. It looks perfect with the Topshop kohl along the lash line.
Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation in Shade 51 - I love this foundation! It is a million times better than the original as it blends so much nicer and gives a far more natural finish. I've worn this everyday since I got it and it feels extremely light on my skin :)
Elf Mineral Eye Shadow Primer - I've been trying to use this up recently and it's actually pretty good. It's basically like the Urban Decay Primer Potion but it doesn't make the colours of the eye-shadows appear as bright. But it has the same staying power in my opinion so if you're looking for a very very cheap alternative that just keeps your eye-shadow from creasing then this could be the one.
Sleek Make-Up Blush in Pixie Pink - I adore the colour of this blush, a very pretty cool toned pink that looks amazing when used with a light hand. I also love sleek blushes, they have great pigmentation, then blend lovely and they are only £4.49! I can't wait for summer so I can wear this blush more :)

Brush Favorites


Crown 1B108 Oval Shadow Brush - This brush was only a few pounds from love-makeup.com and I love it. It's super soft and the dense large brush is awesome to quickly sweep a light colour over my lid. It also does not shed at all in my experience and the quality is definitely similar to that of a more expensive brush! Definitely want more Crown brushes!
Sigma Precision Angled P84 Brush - I love this for applying concealer especially around my nose. It's super soft and blends anything flawlessly. I love the angled, dense brush!
No7 Eye-Shadow Blend & Contour Brush - I love using this to sweep a light dusting of MAC's rice paper over my eyes. Very versatile brush and only a few pounds with the No7 £5 vouchers! It does shed a lot though. 
Real Techniques by Samantha Chapman Buffing Brush - Everyone is raving about these brushes and with good reason! I love this brush for my foundation, it makes it look perfect.

Real Techniques by Samantha Chapman Contour Brush - I love love love this brush. I use it to apply my highlight, contour/bronzer and cream blush. It blends each perfectly and I don't know where I'd be without it!

I hope you enjoyed and I'd love to see your favorites so link them below if you've done one,

Til next time,
