APRIL FAVOURITES PART TWO: MAKEUP AND NAILS

Hey guys, i hope you are all having an amazing day whatever you are up to! For today's post i thought i would share with you my final installment of my "april favourites posts" and probably my favourite category...make up! Also as a little pre-warning there is quiet a lot that i have been obsessed with this month. I also just wanted to say that i hope you all enjoyed this different type of "favourites" post and i hope you all have a wonderful weekend. So here it is my makeup favourites...


Milani Baked Blush in the shade Luminoso -
This particular blush is so well loved widely through the beauty community and now after trying it, i can see why. Since i got my hands on it i have no put it down, i literally wear it every time i wear makeup it is just that stunning and it goes with every look! 

Smashbox Full Exposure Palette -
I have shown this eyeshadow palette in a fair few posts now (mainly face of the day's), it is just such a great versatile neutrals/smokey eye look palette and the pigmentation is crazy! A favourite go to shade for me is S4, it's just the most beautiful champagne shimmer shade and it looks gorgeous all over the lid with a tiny bit of M3 in the crease as a transition shade - obsessed!

Style Master Face Brush -
I received a bunch of these Style Master brushes and i can't begin to tell you how impressed with them i was/am. The quality is crazy for such a low priced product, they wash great and don't shed at all as i hate brushes that shed. This is a particular favourite of mine which i have been loving to contour with, i just add a small amount of product onto the brush and it's just the perfect shape. I also recommend the eye brushes as well they blend eyeshadow like a dream!

NARS Highlighting Powder in the shade Albatross - 
I won't go on too much about this product as i have mentioned it so many times before. For some reason i have been reaching for this highlighter this month a lot more than my MAC mineralize skinfinish, i would definitely say that these two highlighters are my holy grail items (if you have never noticed before ha ha). 

LA Girl Pro. Conceal HD Concealer in the shade Classic Ivory - 
I had been wanting to try this concealer out for quiet some time now like i mentioned in the post which i hauled this in, as quiet a few people who's video's i watch on YouTube were obsessed with it and now i am too! Honestly the coverage on this concealer is amazing and it's under $3 USD so just over £2.50 ish in UK Pounds, which is crazy cheap! If you can get your hands on this i definitely recommend you don't think twice about trying it. The only warning about this product is at first i thought it looked a lot darker in the tube than when it does apply, so don't be alarmed.

Custom MAC Pro Quad in the shades Nylon, Sable, All That Glitters and Espresso - 
I did a post all about this custom MAC pro quad last week and that i have been obsessed with it all of this month, i have only been switching between this and the smashbox one i haven't touched anything else. I am such a neutrals girl and all of these shades either used by themselves or all together to create a more intense look are perfect. 

Essence Make Me Brow in the shade Browny Brows - 
This is another product i have shown a fair bit on in previous post's and i even did a drugstore vs highend post about it. My brows just aren't complete if i don't use it now and the best part about it is that it only costs £2, what a bargain!

NARS Luminous Weight Foundation in the shade Fiji -
Where do i begin with all the amazing qualities of this foundation? If you follow me on instagram you will have probably gathered that i am so in love with it. I have honestly not even picked up my Estée Lauder Double Wear up since i tried this out. I love how light weight it is but still amazing coverage, you literally feel like your skin is bare! The only thing i dislike about this product is the price as i do think £32 is fairly expensive but then again with this product a little does go a long way and your face looks flawless.

Sally Hanson Hard As Nails - 
So last month i reached the decision to soak the calgel off of my nails which i had been having done for around six or seven months, just to give my nails a break. This product has been a life saver well not life saver but nail saver as my nails were so weak and brittle but literally within a couple of weeks of applying this they are super strong and healthy again. You can apply this under and over nail polish as well as wearing it on it's own if you wanted to also.

OPI Nail Lacquer in the shade Italian Love Affair - 
Two things about this nail polish a) i am such a pink nail polish hoarder and b) O.P.I is the nail polish brand for me, as it lasts so long on my nails. I picked up this beautiful shade from BeautyBay in the sale and i believe it was only around £5 which is amazing value for O.P.I as they usually retail full price for about £12 UK Pounds. It's been the shade i have been wearing on my nails all the way through April, it's the perfect spring pink colour!

Manhattan Kajal Eyeliner in the shade Snow Bunny - 
I have been loving this eyeliner for those days when i am feeling super tired and i want my eyes to look a lot more wide awake than they are. White/Nude eyeliner pencil's are great for this as they counteract the redness on your waterline, making the eye look a lot more open and awake. I love the formula of these particular Kajal Liner's as they are super pigmented, creamy and long lasting. I hate it when certain eyeliner's only last a few hours!

MAC Lipsticks in the shades Creme Cup and Saint Germain - 
Earlier this week i shown these two particular lipsticks from MAC in my top five MAC lipsticks post and they are the two lipsticks i have been switching to and from all month long. Creme Cup is the newest member to my collection and it has gone right to the top, as i am such a pink/nude lipstick kind of girl and this is both combined. Saint Germain on the other hand is a super bright pink shade and is perfect for the spring/summer months. The thing i love about Saint Germain is that is such a fun shade to wear yet it is still super wearable!
