JULY BEAUTY FAVORITES

Hello lovelies, another month another favourites, as you may see one product has sneaked itself back in again.

L'Oreal Facial Cleansing Oil £7.99 - This is the product that has made it's way back into my favourites, I'm just using it non stop. It's super easy like I said last month to wipe all your makeup off in one go with no fuss, leaves my skin feeling nourished and super soft and even gets rid of stubborn mascara. 

St Ives Invigorating Apricot Facial Scrub £4.19 - A very gentle exfoliator that smells amazing, I prefer to use this in the morning when I'm showering as I hate bits everywhere over the sink, everything just gets all messy lol. I especially like to use this when my skin is feeling dull and not as clean as I like it to feel, it buffs away all my dead skin cells and leave my skin feeling clean and refreshed.

Benefit Hervana £23.50 - I have only recently purchased this but I have used it non stop since I did by it, I had been after a Benefit blusher box for ever and so glad I ended up picking this one, it has all the right pinks for my skin tone and gives my cheeks a really nice glow and pop. It also has a little bit of highlight in there to really make my cheeks shine.

Mac Shy Girl £15.50 - I have been loving nudes on my lips through out summer and a few pinks but mainly nudes, this is a coral beige shade, my favourite! It has a creamy texture and to make the colour pay of stay I always put a lip liner on my lips before hand, I think this shade would suit most skin shades as I am really pale it doesn't wash me out at all and compliments it well I think, it is most definitely my go to colour at the moment. 

Imperial Leather beautiful Moments Body Wash £2.49 - I know this maybe quite an odd thing to have in my favourites but I am so in love with this, its a body wash I use in the shower that leaves my skin feeling silky smooth afterwards without needing to moisturise! I especially use this on days where I really can't be bothered to moisturise after the shower, it makes my legs feel amazing after shaving too and it smells incredible! It has pearls of argon oil in it that does all the hard work that you don't have to, I'd definitely check it out if you loathe moisturising as much as I do. 

What have you been loving through out July? 

JUNE BEAUTY FAVOURITES

Hello lovelies, I know me and many others keep saying it but how fast is this year going? July already, whaaaaat? Well another month over means another month of beauty favourites and this is what I was loving through out June.

L'Oreal Facial Cleansing Oil £7.99 - I stupidly payed £7.99 for this, I only say stupidly as its only £4 currently in Asda and on offer in Boots also, but not so stupid as its blooming amazing! I love a cleansing oil, they are just super quick as effective. A few pumps into the palm of your hand, rub it all in your make up done face and its off in seconds, super easy, quick and my skin feels like a dream afterwards. It isn't greasy on the skin at all with it being an oil, my skin feels radiant and nourished afterwards and I love taking my make up off now, its my new skin care best friend.

Lancome Colour Design Infinite Eyeshadow £19.50 - I think this was a limited edition purchase sorry! I was lucky enough to attend a Lance event, hearing about there famous and well loved products and fell in love with this limited edition product, it is a cream to powder eyeshadow that supposedly lasts 24 hours, I have never had any problems with it, no creases but I haven't kept it on for 24 hours to test the longevity but no problems with it going anywhere in they day or night. It is a gorgeous taupe/brown shade and really brings out the green in my eyes, we also got complimentary swarvoski gems on the lid, how pretty? 

Mac Strobe Cream Hydrant Lumineux £10 - I love the little mini's you can get at some mac stores, I just had to pick this up after getting a lovely make over, it made my skin light up, glow and just look amazing plus strobing is in right now ladies and gentleman... You will love this added to your make up look I assure you. 

Sleek Contour Kit in Light £6.49 - I adore this contour kit so much, it's super easy to carry in your make up bag on the go with its handy mirror in also, it has the perfect sculpting shade to really make those cheek bones pop and hide a bit of that double chin, thanks cocktails and bbqs... It also contains a stunning highlighter, I haven't been using anything else lately. 

Revlon Ultra Hd Lipstick in Rose £7.99 - This has been my go to colour at the moment, a stunning nude to pink lip shade that really makes my lips stand out yet look natural at the same time if that makes any sense? It smells amazing, I love lipstick that smells nice, no idea why I just do, it goes on like a dream and the packaging is super sleek.

Bourjois Aqua Lacquer in Babe Idole £8.99 - If I am out for the day and I'm not taking a make up bag or lipstick to top up I usually go for this pretty lip product, you put this on the morning and your set for the day, it is the most prettiest pink and goes on quite wet but dries instantly. It leaves a subtle stain on the lips so when your lipstick has worn of through drinking and eating etc you still have some subtle colour behind on your lips which is always a bonus for me, no need to top up during the day.

APRIL BEAUTY FAVORITES

Hello lovelies, another month flown by so quickly just like my pregnancy can you believe I am having a baby in less than a week? Eeek, so excited now just anxious to when its actually going to be D-day but here is what I have been loving through out April. 

Paco Rabanne Lady Million Perfume - This and Alien by Thierry Mugler is my signature scent according to my fella, I always switch between these perfumes as they are my favourite! I tend to wear Alien more at night time and this during the day as its lighter yet still so powerful in scent if that makes any sense, I'm not the best at describing perfumes but its quite floral and feminine, I adore it and have been wearing it none stop lately. 

Mac Mineralise skin finish in Soft and gentle - I have been wearing this non stop also, I love to look glowy in the spring and summer and although people are telling me I have a natural glow to me I am pretty sure it's this beauty that's giving me all the credit! I add it where you can think of, I've even been wearing it as an all over eye shadow as I've hit pan on my Stilla In the light palette eye shadow Kitten and it is very similar thankfully! I have had this msf for ages and its still going strong, such a good investment.

Rimmel Lasting finish high coverage concealer - This concealer is amazing for just over five pound and I think it is a dupe for my Mac studio finish concealer, it is very high coverage and lasts well through out the day whether your concealing blemishes or hiding those bags under your eyes.

Rimmel Rita Ora 60 seconds super shine nail polishes - I have the shades here Glastonberry and Orangina my most worn polishes of April, I adore the finish of these polishes and the longevity! All the shades are stunning and I am slowly adding them all to my collection, I would highly recommend these and the 60 second normal polishes Rimmel do, they dry super fast and last ages.

Seventeen Eyeshadow in Statuesque - Along with my msf in soft and gentle I have been wearing those as a duo on my eyes, being a lover of matte shadows usually I have gone to the sparkly side, the glittery the better, they just make my eyes look real pretty and make the green really stand out. It's a gorgeous champagne sort of shade with a hint of copper, just the right amount of shimmer without
going over the top.

Aldi Lacura CC cream - I know your all probably thinking make up from Aldi? But don't knock it until you have tried it, I was scanning through the isles and was so curios I just had to get it, I am so glad I did! Firstly I thought it will just be another base that makes me look like an orange but I was pleasantly surprised! I picked up the light skin tones version and it is a perfect match for my face, it is amazing cover too and lasts really well, you may need to touch up in the late evening but you can't argue at about £4 a pop. It has 15SPF in it too which is perfect for the gorgeous weather were having lately and feels really moisturising on my skin, I'll do a review of it for you all soon.

Nars Satin lip pencil in Lohdi - I fell in love with this lip pencil when I bought it a while back but like many of you beauty bloggers out there I am sure with such a big lipstick collection it ends up getting thrown at the back (not literally I am a bit of a neat freak with organisation) with the rest of your lipsticks and sadly forgotten about but when I was sorting through all my make up the other day I found it and was in love all over again, its the perfect spring/summer shade a beautiful coral with a hint of pink, they last pretty well on the lips too.

MARCH BEAUTY FAVOURITES

Hello lovelies, today I have for you my March favourites most of them are quite new purchases but I have been using them non stop lately.

The Body Shop Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil - After trying out the Body Shop's Camomile cleansing balm I instantly fell in love with it, it made my skin feel super clean and nourished but I am a big fan of oils for quickness, so when I saw this on a whim whilst shopping a few weeks back I knew I had to pick it up. I have never looked back since! I always double cleanse on an evening and I find this the most sufficient and speedy for getting my make up off, even the most stubborn of mascaras and pigmented lippys. It doesn't leave a horrible residue on my face either and just leaves it feeling really soft and I have noticed my skin clearing up since using this product so win win, if like me when your tired you really don't fancy taking all your slap off after a hard day you really do need this in your life, it will literally take two minutes to get your make up off with a hot muslin cloth and your skin will love you for it afterwards. 

The Body Shop Shea Beautifying Oil - Again for quickness (lazy bones) I have been loving oils especially now I only have 5 weeks to pop it seems like sure a chore to rub lotion everywhere, which is also difficult as well as time consuming I'll have you know, an oil is just so much easier! I could even put a spritzer in the bottle and spray myself with the oil but I don't, I just dab it in to all the areas I need and rub it in, not like most oils being slimy and slow to sink into the skin this oil sinks in beautifully and fast so you can pop your clothes or pjs on straight away afterwards. It smells beautiful and I have actually noticed that no extra stretch marks have been appearing since using this oil! 

Max Factor Skin Luminizer Foundation in Light Ivory - I was really curious looking at this in boots a couple of weeks ago so what did I do like any other normal beauty blogger would do? I bought it to trial of-course! I am so glad I did, I didn't even read reviews before this purchase I just went for it, risky and brave but well worth it! I find it hard to get a foundation to completely match my skin and this does so wonderfully, I actually have this on as shown in the picture above. It feels so light weight on the skin like you have nothing on yet the coverage is amazing, I would say it is medium to full but you could have it as sheer as you like or build it to the coverage you like. It really does make my skin look radiant and glowy but surprisingly is quite a matte finish to the skin but it feels like velvet on my skin, it has tiny gold particles that I guess give it the radiant factor and it lasts me through out the day.  I love the pump that comes with it which makes it easier to control how much you need, the shade Light Ivory I think would be great for Mac users of a 15 like me, I use Mac studio fix in NC15 and this is a perfect match for my skin tone, I love this so much at the minute it is so light on the skin, it almost feels like a BB cream so is great for spring/summer.

Mac Mineralize Blusher in Dainty - If you read my post yesterday on my Mac makeover and mini haul I had a few weeks back I fell in love with this as soon as the make up artist applied this to my cheeks! I was never someone really into blushers at all I would be happy with a cheap palette as I tend to like cream blushers more but this is so beautiful. The perfect pink to give you glowy cheeks with a hint of colour, you could have this quite sheer as I have pictured above or build it to be very pigmented depending on the finish you like. It is super soft and lasts all day without needing to top it up. 

Mac Cremesheen Lipstick in Creme Cup - Again like the blusher I got this at the same time as my make over and I honestly haven't put it down since! Usually with my higher end lipsticks I like to use them but not too much as it makes me want to cry repurchasing a lipstick over £15 especially as I like to try different shades out all the time, I feel like this will be a forever repurchase! Watch out bank balance, it is the perfect nude with a subtle pinkness to it. It is super pretty and gives a gorgeous sheen to the lips without being over glossy and lasts a good 4-5 hours even longer if you wear a lip liner underneath. I don't know how I've managed in my life without this shade before, call me dramatic but once you finally swatch it and try it on your lips you will see what I mean! 

Stilla In The Light Palette shades Kitten, Bliss & Sunset - I have loved this palette overall but these three shades more specifically, I non stop wear Kitten alone which is odd as I never tend to go near shimmer shadows but I am all about the glow this spring! I am just wearing that shade above in the picture, it is perfect for under my brow bone when I am doing a smokey eye look or all over the lid to brighten them up, Bliss is usually the base shadow I tend to put all over my lid then I put Sunset in the crease to spice things up a little. All three are such stunning shades and very pigmented, for a day look I have even been using the darkest matte brown in the palette 'Sandstone' for eyeliner using a slanted make up brush to apply and it lasts all day. I would highly recommend adding this palette to your collection it has a great range of neutral shades perfect for day or night looks. 

What are your March favourites? I'd love to know in the comments below. 

JANUARY FAVORITES 2015

Hello lovelies, how fast did January go? Time is literally flying by so fast, you blink and its gone, totally noticed this more since having a child, one minute he is crawling around the house and now hes running me ragged around the store aha. But another month means previous months favorites, I haven't got that many as I am using pretty much the same products, I am trying really hard to get through my stash so keeping my skincare strict using the same thing up before I go onto another so the only thing I am changing up really is my make up. I tend to stick to the same 'face' all week then change up a blusher or lipstick as the week goes on, without further a do though this is what I loved in January...

Zoella Blissful Mistful fragranced body spray £8.00 - I'm not going to lie, when I first heard about Zoella launching beauty bits I wasn't expecting too much from the body spray, I thought it would smell as cheap as the price tag, but I was totally wrong! I am very fussy with scents too, I sprayed this and fell in love instantly, it is very sweet and fruity and girly! Most of the things I am not overly keen with but it just sits on my skin lovely and really perks me up when I spray it. It really is bliss in a bottle and the packaging is just beautiful too right?

Make Up Revolution The One Blush stick in Matte Dream £5.00* - Have you not tried these blush sticks yet? They are amazing, they do them in matte as well as your standard blusher sticks, I don't know why I prefer the matte version better but it just sits on my skin nicely and stays put most of the day. The color is a very pale pink but really brings out the glow in my cheekbones when I wear this and gives me a flush of color to the cheeks, you can go as vibrant with the stick as you like or sheer to the taste you prefer, I much prefer a sheer blush to a vibrant one though personally. 

Mac lipsticks in Snob and Hue £15.50 - Hue being the more paler lipstick, my perfect go to nude for whatever eye look I have going on and will pretty much go with any look I am going for on the day, my safest shade in my Mac collection and most loved, its not too pale and has a slight pink to it, I love it! It is a glazed finish so gives a lovely shine to my lips. Snob is neutral pink but can look a little darker on the lip, another shade I adore from my collection and is a satin finish I loved this lipstick throughout January as it has gave me some color to my face as I am always wearing neutral shades on my eyes and my partner loves me in this lippy so a bonus!

Soap & Glory Sugar crush Hand food - I can not find this on the boots website anywhere! I don't know if it was only available near Christmas as I got it in the sales but this stuff is amazing, it smells divine, all the lime zest and citrisnus. I have been using hand creams every night before bed at the minute as my hands are like dried up prunes, so dry and cracking and this really helped to soften them up and also brought me great joy going to sleep with amazingly smelling hands. 

Lancome Limited edition Color design infinite eye shadow in Timeless Taupe - I went to a Lancome event last year and couldn't resist these limited edition eye shadows, really wish I got more shades but this one was my favorite out of the bunch, it really brings out the green in my eyes and sits on my eyes beautifully. They are super pigmented and look gorgeous alone on the lid or they create a gorgeous base for any eye look your after, they feel super creamy but dry to a more powder consistency, love it and the lady generously beautified my eye shadow up even more in swarvoski crystals, could it get any prettier?

Topshop Cream Blush in Flush £7.00 -  I adore the Topshop polka dot packaging, so chic and cute! This blusher has been a pleasure to wear it is a cream blush that turns to powder on the skin, I use my real techniques buffing brush to dap it on to my cheeks and blend in, I find that the easiest way, it is a gorgeous lightweight blush in a coral shade, it gives me a rosy glow and compliments my skin tone well I think ad lasts all day, I definitely want to try more and noticed on their website they now have a cheek jelly? 

OCTOBER BEAUTY FAVORITES

Hello lovelies, today I have for you my favorites of the previous month, I;m actually quite early to the party for once this time but don't think this will be a regular thing, I am sure next month I'll be late again, but read on if you want to see what I loved through out October. 

Benefit Majorette - I have worn this every day through out October, when I was wearing make up anyway, it is a cream to powder blusher that just smells amazing! Think peaches, pomegranetes, sweety and floral almost. You can use this as a blusher alone or as the perfect base for your usual blusher for extra oomft and flush but I always use this alone, it is the perfect shade for your cheeks to give it a really healthy glow and just makes you look radiant.

Philip Kingsley Daily damage defence - Again used all through out October every time I have washed my hair this has been sprayed vigorously through out my hair then brushed through with my tangle teezer, it has been keeping my hair healthy, knot free, smelling good and protecting it through heat products, if I have washed my hair on a night time I put all this through, brush it through then leave it in as a conditioner spray as it has got condition properties, but if I am using a heat tool the next day I give it another little spritz to make sure my hair is well protected. This product really is genius and has everything you need in one bottle, I would actually be confident in to say that I would happily through everything hair related in my hair care draw and just have this! It has been my hair saviour and this 60ml bottle is perfect for travelling with. After seeing how much I wrote about this product in my favorites I really should of done a solid review on its own, but there you go, you all need it in your life, trust me! I will be forever repurchasing this miracle hair spray, thank you Philip K.

Bobbi Brown Gel eye liner - This eye liner is fricken amazing, if you have read my post about the Bobbi Brown event I went to not long ago you would have seen that I wrote that I thought it would be impossible for me to use one of these gel eye liner pots but with the Bobbi Brown eye liner brush it is a dream to use and sooo easy! It literally glides on so smoothly and stays put for hours and hours with no smudges or anything. The key is to use confident sweeps rather than doing a little bit at a time which is where it usually goes wrong, you know when your line is just getting bigger and bigger and you just now look like you have a black eye, no one wants that. This is so simple, if I can do it you can! I have even put my trusty Maybelline Black shock gel eyeliner pen down and this has replaced it, its amazing.

Benefit It's potent eye cream - I am quite a bad blogger here, but I never actually used to use eye cream that much, I am getting better as I am coming up to 24 and I am getting worried about crows feet and any wrinkle really, I don't want to be addicted to botox so I need to keep on top of things. This eye cream has been so lovely to use, it sinks into the skin beautifully, the pot is adorable! Not a strong scent to it at all, I have noticed a difference in my dark eye bags, which has also been helped with lots of water and getting into a routine, no more late nights! But I have really enjoyed using this eye cream and will be thinking of repurchasing this in the near future.

Topshop Wicked - This has been the most perfect lip product for me through out autumn, the perfect berry lip toned lipstick which I have just adored, I have never had so many compliments from a lipstick and everyone saying how well suited to it I am and everyone asking me what it is. It stays put for hours, it doesn't smudge everywhere, it feels lovely on the lips and its is very opaque.

Nars Cruella - The only red lip product I have ever fallen madly deeply in love with, I think this deep cherry red really compliments my skin tone and brings out my eyes more strangely. It is such a stunning shade, it stays put through wind, rain, dancing, drinking, eating, you name it this lipstick could pull through it! I just love it, the only downfall is that it can latch on to your dry patches but if you keep those lips well looked after you wont have any problems with this little gem at all, its the best red ever!

My favorite beauty products under five pounds.

Hello lovelies, I have today for you all my favorite beauty picks from make-up, skincare and hair care for under five pounds! Bargain loves, who doesn't love a bargain?

A couple of skin care favorites of mine under £5.

Sudocrem - This product is so underrated not only is it amazing for my sons nappy rash but its also good for facial rashes or in my case helping healing spot scars and healing process of a spot. If I've been messing with a spot, yes naughty me all yell at your screens and its sore or really red I put some of this on before I go to bed and the next morning it just looks a whole lot better and smoothes it out the only down fall is it is smeared all over my pillow! I hate the consistency of this product but it really does help. I got this for around £4 in Home bargains it is abit more in boots and places like that so look out for it in Home bargains. 

Santa's Lip Scrub - Just over £5 by a few pennies but well worth it. Smells absolutely amazing and tastes lush. A pretty red sugar scrub with cute little hearts in that exfoliates your lips whilst tasting yummy! Really helped my dry lips out and whats better than a lip scrub than being able to eat it also?

Loreal Micellar Water - My staple product of all time! I loved Bioderma so much I really didn't think anything would come close to it but this really has! Also so affordable, if you don't want to spend quite a bit on a micellar water I couldn't recommend this enough to you. I have sensitve eyes and this doesn't effect them at all! I soak a cotton pad in the stuff and it wipes away everything even water proof stubborn mascara. At the moment this is like under £2.50 in Tescos! But usually it is around £4 at the most in Boots and Superdrug. I just love this product, I have recently bought the Garnier one to try out and I might do a post comparing them, if there is anything to compare. But yeah you all need this.

Favorite nail varnishes under a fiver!

Models Own - This one is actually my favorite shade out of the Models own nail varnishes I own the scented ones in Strawberry Tart. The only thing that actually smells is the packaging the nail varnish doesn't smell of strawberry's sadly. It's just a gorgeous pastel pink lasts around 3 days and just under £5.

Barry M Gelly Hi Shines - These aren't my favorite colours as I love them all! I just love the formula of these varnishes. Thick, glossy, long lasting and a range of gorgeous colours. Only £3.99 I have nearly all the shades I love them so much.

A couple of my favorite lipsticks under five pounds.

Sleek Pout Paint - These are amazing for £4.99 one has already been on my #bloguary posts 'Mauve Over' and a peach orange shade 'Minx' even more amazing about these that they mix to make another colour! That's why there called pout paints. These two make the most perfect pink that I LOVE so much. I really want them all to make my own lip shades I just think its really fun and creative. Nothing like any other lipsticks out there great value for what you get. Hygenic if a friend/relative fancy's trying it out as there not rubbing it over there lips. Just remember to shake well as they are watery when you first squeeze it out the tube. Highly recommend these beauty's.

MUA Lipstick - The best lipstick your going to get for a pound! Lovely formula and smells just like Mac ones. Last a good couple of hours, you get two for the price of one also as you have a lipstick and the little bit underneath is a gloss to apply on top and I love this as you can see what colour it is when your searching without taking all the lids of. They glide on lovely and look glossy on the lips.

This is the colour the Sleek Pout Paints make together, how gorgeous, Mauve over you minx!

Favorite eye shadows under a fiver,

MUA Palettes - All these shades for £4 each! Yeah bargain. I find the shimmery shades are more pigmented than the matte ones. I have palettes here Undressed and Undress me 2, alot of people say there Urban Decay dupes... in colour's only! No way near as pigmented but that's the difference from £4 to £36. There pigmented enough though for a wash of colour on your lids with a little extra long lasting with some good eyelid primer. I love MUA products so cheap and cheerful they don't brake the bank and great for building up your make up collection.

Maybelline 24hr Colour Tattoo's - I adore these so much, the best £4.99 I have ever spent on an eye product. These two are actually my favorite shades too. On and On Bronze a perfect bronze for a gorgeous smoky eye colour. These look amazing on there own or a great base to keep your eye shadows stay put for longer. I like wearing mine alone especially Pink gold it is a gorgeous champagne colour that's just enough subtle colour for an every day look for work or coffee with friends etc. Really been loving this shade for a while now and wearing it all the time. You really should check these baby's out affordable, pigmented, long lasting and feel lovely and creamy on the lids.

Great hair products I love under five pounds.

Tresemme Ultimat Hold Hairspray - Cheating again just over the £5 by about 25 pence but it is a HUGE bottle. This has lasted me months! I am only starting to run out now and its lasted me so so long. I'm not a huge hairspray lover but I do love this one as it doesn't feel like your typical 'stiff' hairspray. It is so gentle on your hair and feather light it doesn't feel like you have hair spray on. It brushes out so easily but holds greatly! I love it so much because it doesn't feel like you have hairspray in as I'm not a fan of them but with me having shorter hair now I need it for volume and to stay in place.

Tresemme Keratin Smooth Heat Protectant Spray - A Tresemme theme here? I love me some Tresemme there just faultless.  With me having my hair cut short there isn't too much I can do with it so I do straighten it a lot so I obviously need some protection. I have loved this it has helped with split ends etc and smells gorgeous. It is also only £2.75 in Boots, I'm loving this it seems to be helping and I will defo repurchase when I run out.

Gorgeous blushes under five pounds,

Elf Baked Blush - The only annoying thing about this blush is it hasn't got the shade colour on the product? But I think after searching the elf website it is Rich rose. They look very similar to the Mac Mineralize skin finishes. It is a gorgeous rose shade with shimmer running through so I would wear this personally with out highlighter. Only £3.75 and such a gorgeous blush can be very subtle or built up to be a full coverage blusher depending on the look your going for. 

Natural Collection Blush - Hit pan on this, its such a pretty pink blush to make your cheeks rosy and wonderful. Natural collection can be underrated with some of there products. I really rate there blushers. For only £1.99 you really can't go wrong you can see how much I love it, this is in the shade Pink cloud. They have a range of beautiful colours for every skin tone to suit. Again can be sheer and built up to a fuller coverage.

Then lastly my other favorites under five pounds.

Along with every other beauty blogger out there ofcourse the Collection Concealer - I have these in shades 2 and 3 I use 2 in the inner corners and three just after to brighten up my eyes and take away the bags! These cover up spots/blemishes so well aswell just an amazing full coverage concealer that is super cheap at just over £4. I'm sure you all know about this product as everyone and there dog have got it...

MUA Pro -Brow Ultimate Eyebrow Kit - I really really love this brow kit! It's no HD brow set but I friggin love it. So cheap at £3.50 where you get two shades for the brows an under brow shade and a gel to hold them into place. I don't use the shade for under the brows as it's quite dark for me but I love the darkest shade for my brows it suits them so well and I don't really use the gel either as this stays put all day and night without it on me. This also comes with a mini pair of tweezers and an applicator but I use my own so I have thrown these into a make up bag in case I need them whilst I'm out as there handy. 

Are any of these products your favorites?

My favorite concealers.

Hello my lovelies, mid week woo nearly Friday. Today I thought I would share with you the concealers I'm loving at the minute. Growing up I never even bothered with concealer as I never suffered with spots really or big bags! But since having a child and not eating the best of foods its took its toll on my skin so I've needed some extra cover ups for those nasty blemishes and no sleep under eye situations. So this is what I'm loving at the minute.

Mally - Cancellation concealer system, Light/Medium.

I love this concealer, most probably the best out of my whole collection including my favorites. As you can tell hitting pan! Mally is a brand I'd never heard of till I was flicking through the channels one day and seen them on QVC and they had an offer on and I'm not quite sure how much it was for the set around £30 which is fantastic as this alone prices for $35 on there own website. But defiantly worth it, it never cakes its lovely and creamy and hides my blemishes a treat and also my horrible dark bags there gone in seconds then you can use the translucent setting powder with it to keep it in place but I never tend to as I worry round that area as my skin is quite dry and maybe would make it look quite cakey. But this is brilliant for me and always have this on me for touch ups if needed.

Clinique - Airbrush concealer, 04 Neutral fair.

I adore the click brush setting on this concealer as it always gives you the right amount needed without any wastage. This is another of my faves as it is so illuminating, it makes you look fresh and alive after a night of hardly any sleep! Silky texture and amazing coverage. Although I don't tend to use this that much on blemishes as it is illuminating and makes your under eyes look awake and shiny I don't want the same effect on my spots. But this is amazing for those dark circles under your eyes, I would really recommend this to you for that purpose alone. I've had it quite a while and its lasted me such a long time, a little goes a long way.

Collection - Lasting Perfection Concealer, 2 Light.

I'm sure you have all heard of this, if not have you been hiding under a huge rock? This is talked about everywhere I bet your Mums best mates Nan even has it. But you really can't go wrong with it. For under a fiver really, ticks all my boxes, covers blemishes and my dark circles. Not as good as the other two but still does the job. The only thing that lets it down is the packaging, but cheaper products that will happen. Nothing more annoying though when the writing all wares off and you can't remember what shade or actual product is if you wanted another. But still in my favorites as the job it does is more important to me. It lasts all day on me so it is lasting. If you've run out it's only £3.99 at the minute at boots, link above.

If you didn't already guess I like my concealers fairly light as it brightens up my under eye area and matches great on my skin where my blemishes are but if I am just getting concealer purely for my under eye area I always go quite light to make them look wide and awake. I personally like applying my concealer to my under eyes to cover those pesky bags, covering up bad blemishes to take the redness away, a little down my nose and a dab underneath my brows.

Hope you liked my little favorite collection on concealers, what are your favorite?

April Favourites

Hello lovelies, as i'm writing this blog i'm tucking into a nice hot cocoa topped with squirty cream and marshmallows, mmm yummy. Then thinking where the hell did April go? Where the hell is this year going, is it just me who thinks this? Anyway lets get cracking, let me show you what I've been loving this month.

Sorry had to show you my lovely hot choc, move over Costa!

Back to the favorites...

Sorry about the lighting, the sun was playing up the bugger!

Firstly the face products i was loving.

1.     Garnier - Miracle Skin Perfector Daily All In One B.B Cream

I have been wearing this pretty much all month, it feels so light on your skin as if you have nothing on and is great coverage, well it is medium coverage but very build-able. It even smells quite fresh. It covers up my blemishes and freckles and un-even red area's nicely. I prefer b.b creams in the spring and summer as it's getting warmer you don't want a heavy foundation on your face this is so light on your skin it's perfect. My shade is in light and matches my skin tone perfectly and i am naturally quite fair underneath the fake tan haha. These retail for £7.49 in boots atm but you could find these in any drugstore/make-up place.

                              2.   Yves Rocher - Sexy Pulp Ultra Volume Mascara 

I am in LOVE with this mascara, i have been wearing this non stop. It gives such good volume to your eye lashes, i loved it since receiving a sample in a glossy box which is now perfect for my handbag on nights out! It does pretty much what it says on the tin. A curvy wand to hug your eye lashes to give it the volume without those nasty clumps it also thickens them without them feeling too heavy. These are on there website at £17.90 a bit pricey, I luckily got mine on an offer they had for free! But i would defonatley repurchase this.

3.     Rimmel - Apocolips Lip Laquer In Celestial

If you read my blog you know how much i love these!! I have wrote a review on them already here;

4.   Neutrogena - Visibly Clear 2 in 1 Wash/Mask

This has also been a staple this month, as randomly i came out in an outbreak of spots i thought what am i going to do? I heard this great for unclogging pores and getting all the dirt out of your skin and it really has! This has helped my skin massively, thank you so much Neutrogena you have saved my face. I have still got a couple of spots on my chin but those little buggers wont scarper! This wash/mask has helped out a hell of alot though my skin feels so much cleaner and softer after every use. I use it as a mask in the morning in the shower as i wash my other bits and bobs then just as a wash at the night times. I would really recommend this product if your having some skin issues. I got mine in Superdrug for £3.99 bargain!

5. Yves Rocher - Blusher in Rose

I can't find this on there website to give you a price as i got mine a couple of months ago when they had a sale on, sorry! But i have been loving this rosey colur on my cheeks to give them a flush of colour. I think a bit of colour on your cheeks just brightens your day. It does mine anyway... 

6. Real Techniques - Buffing Brush

I don't know why i have put this in my April faves because i will be loving this forever! Since i brought the core collection of the Real technique brushes i have been in love. There brushes are so soft! This one in particular is my favorite for foundation it can be used for dry or wet products but i use this just for foundation and my b.b creams. It just goes on perfectly, i used to only ever use my fingers to put on my base but now this is a staple for life. Samantha Chapman you are a genius and i will continue collecting your brushes to add to my collection. As i said this buffing brush was in the core collection and retails at £21.99 in boots.

A couple of body products.

1.   LUSH - Happy Hippy Shower Gel

This is such a good shower gel to give you that spring in your step first thing in the morning with its awakening smell of citrus and zing! What i love about Lush products is that there multi purpose. You can use this as a shower gel or shampoo. I only tend to use these as shower gels though I'm a bit funny with putting certain products in my hair, fussy old me. This is a beautiful fruity smell though it sure wakes me up in the morning.

2.   LUSH - Each Peach (And twos a Pair) Massage Bar

The smell of this is just amazing! I could smell it ALL day. It's fruity, peachy it just smells like a dream, if your ever passing LUSH please just smell it! It has infused in it cocoa, shea, avocada and mango butter inside so it is very moisturising! Sadly i don't get much use as it as im the massager not the massagee. But i do rub a little on my skin after a shower just to smell gorgeous! 

Nail varnishes i have been loving this month.

1. Barry M - Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint in Blueberry

This cool baby blue is just a lovely spring colour i have wore this religiously as well as the other nail polish it's just beautiful. I love baby blue! 

2. Essie - Off The Shoulder

What girl doesn't love pink right? It is a beautiful bright pink a lovely pop of colour to your fingertips for spring and summer! Another shade i have loved this month.

And lastly i do have an obsession with yankee candles and this is the scent i have been loving this month, as i used my other one up i repurchased just to show you.

Yankee Candle - Pink Dragon Fruit

As i LOVE my yankee candles and different scents i rarely buy the jars i do have a few but only buy my absolute faves in them. This one is one of my faves and have used up a huge jar! As the huge jars are abit on the pricey side i decided to get a sampler for the time being. This scent is just gorgeous though fruity and floral combination makes any room smell amazing!

Hope you enjoyed my April faves beautiful's, i would love to know your favorites if you could link yours in the comments below :)
