So I kind of missed March favourites last month so I thought I'd wait until April and I've only just managed to get this up and it is a tad late but what can you do, to be honest there wasn't any new favourites last month as well and I didn't want to do a half hearted post and just talk about random products. But this month there's a few new products I've been loving and some good old favourite products so I'll jump straight in with the first one which is the Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lip Colour, I'd seen a few bloggers putting photos of these up on Instagram so long ago and I feel like I've waited years for them to come out in the UK and I finally got my hands on them. They have so many lovely shades to choose from, I picked up the shades Devotion and Passion, I did really want the nude shade but they didn't have any in stock! These are both lovely pink shades and are perfect for summer and to brighten up my everyday makeup, they apply really well and of what I've used of them, they seem to last a long time on the lips which is great if you don't get a chance to top up your makeup throughout the day. These are definitely worth a look if you're looking for some new lipsticks and they have such great shades to choose from as well!
My next favourite is a product I've spoken about a few times but I can't help but mention it, it's the Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation which I picked up in the shade 3.5. I wanted to mention it again this month after using it with the Nars Radiant Creamy concealer, these are such a great match and create the perfect coverage for me. They also last pretty much all day on my face unless obviously I'm running around in the sun which in that case I'm pretty sure everyones makeup will be melting off. They cover any redness or blemishes I have, the only thing they don't do enough for me is cover my black circles under my eyes but I'm thinking that's because of how ridiculous my black circles are rather than the products. I have loved using these all month but would like to compare it to another high end foundation or concealer, so if any of you have any recommendations you know what to do.
My last beauty favourite this month is quite a new release, it's the Dior Blush in Floral Pink from their Glowing Gardens Spring collection. I have never seen such a beautiful blush, it's so pretty and I had to get my hands on it as soon as I saw it. When I say I hunted this down and ran around the place like a lunatic looking for it, I'm not over exaggerating! I went everywhere looking for it and just when I was about to give up I managed to find the last one in Debenhams and it honestly made my day! It's such a beautiful product, it's a lovely subtle matte, pink blush perfect for summer, I was avoiding using this because I didn't want to ruin it but I can't stop reaching for it, I've been using it all month and will probably continue using it for the rest of the summer!
This month my skin has been a nightmare, it's that time of year where it's starting to get slightly warmer and when that happens my skin has some sort of mental breakdown! My eczema flares up and I get really bad dry skin on my face, but thanks to some great products it's looking so much better already. My first skincare favourite is the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water, this is great at removing all my makeup, even my eyeliner, when I use this I know I've completely removed all my makeup. It's so much better than Bioderma, it's much more gentle on my skin and doesn't dry my skin out excessively after using it. My next skincare favourite is a bit of a random one, it's the Pure Potions Skin Salvation Intensive Moisturising Ointment, that I ordered from Amazon. I ordered this after hearing Anna from
ViviannaDoesMakeup rave about it and thought it was worth a try. I'm so glad I bought this, I only use this on my face and legs when my eczema fares up especially at this time of year when my skin can't cope with the change in the weather. It has made a massive change in my skin and I use this pretty much every other day to make sure my eczema doesn't flare up. If you have eczema, dry itchy skin, psoriasis or dermatitis and are looking for something new to try definitely have a look at this, it's a miracle moisturiser. I've also been loving the Nuxe Reve de Miel lip balm and this is an all time favourite because I'm constantly using this and it helps my lips stay smooth and not chapped so I had to include this.
My non-beauty favourite this month has been wearing small, dainty earrings and lots of them. I have a few ear piercings and I love getting my ears pierced, at the moment I have 11 ear piercings. It seems like a lot but actually there's still room for more, but at the moment my aim is to fill them with lots of little pretty earrings. I recently bought a few pairs from & Other Stories who great for lovely jewellery pieces, they're reasonably priced and so pretty. My new favourite are these gold earrings with a drop down bit that falls behind your ear, they're gold earrings with tiny black stones and they look great paired with lots of little gold hoops. Another jewellery shop that I have been loving is a brand called Orelia who are stocked in Topshop and Asos, I love all their earrings especially these gold ad white gem drop down earrings. I just love wearing lots of dainty earrings so I'm on a mission to hunt down more for when my most recent piercings are healed, if any of you know of any brands or stores that stock similar earrings please comment down below.
I hope you liked this post and hopefully there should be another post up pretty soon!
