APRIL BEAUTY FAVOURITES

Hello Everyone! So in a few days time (Sunday to be precise) it will be another new month, i can't believe we will almost be half way through the year already it is just flying by. Saying that this only means one thing, it's beauty favourites time again and so many things have been loved throughout April...

Urban Decay Naked 3 Eyeshadow Palette -

Being completely honest this is one of those palette's that i thought i would reach for more, but i don't tend to for some strange reason. Saying that this month i have been reaching for it a lot more, as i am loving wearing a lot of pink/mauve looks. The shades in particular i have been reaching for are two matte shades called limit and nooner. 

Topshop Everything Stick in the shade Naive -

This is one of those cool multiple use products as the title suggests but my favourite way to wear it is as a blush, it is simply the most beautiful natural looking pink. As it is a cream product it gives off a really fresh looking flush of colour to the cheeks and it is a twist up stick, rather than one that you have to sharpen which is handy for travel. 

NYX Baked Blush in the shade Spanish Pink -

I have been using these blushes a ton this month, as at the beginning i purchased six of the shades from the range. They are such a beautiful product that can be used dry for a natural glowing blush to the cheeks or with a wet brush sprayed with setting spray for a more intense appearance.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit in the shade That Glow -

This highlight palette has been on the top of my to buy list for so long, so naturally when it was available to pre-order on BeautyBay i had to get it. I was not disappointed when it arrived they are just as amazing as all of the other ABH products i have already tried and love. By far my favourite shade in the palette is Sunburst, it's stunning! 

Maybelline Dream Velvet Foundation in the shade Nude -

I was intrigued to try this foundation as i had heard quite a few good things about it and to be honest i can see why, this literally feels like nothing on the skin but you still get pretty amazing coverage. The consistency is fairly thick compared to some other lightweight foundations but it is still super easy to apply and blends out flawlessly.

NYX Stay Matte But Not Flat Foundation in the shade Nude -

I didn't expect for me to love this foundation as much as i do for some reason, this foundation is crazy full coverage on me but still feels like skin. As the title says "stay matte but not flat" that is the perfect name as it does give you the most natural glow without looking too shiny. The only disappointing thing about this product is the shading it quite poor as this is only the second lightest shade and it is fairly dark considering so i do have to wear it when i have tan on.

NYX HD Studio Finishing Powder in the shade Transparent -

This is a product i got highly recommended to try from a friend, as she swears by it. I was a little hesitant to try it as i am not the biggest fan of loose powder, i would much sooner opt for a pressed powder but i really really like this one and specifically the finish it leaves to the skin. I am intrigued to see if the pressed version is just as good!

Rimmel Kate Sculpting Palette in the shade Coral Glow - 

This is a product i mentioned in my recent "face friday" post and i said how amazing i thought it was from the first try. The blush is probably my favourite shade out of the three parts but the highlight shade is crazy pigmented for a drugstore product. Check out the face friday post here:

Maybelline Master Drama Eyeliner Pencils in the shades

Brownie Glitz, Rose Pearl & Ultra Black -

These have to be hands down my favourite eye liners of the month and that says a lot, as i usually always opt for my Rimmel Scandal Eyes one in Black. These pencils are just super pigmented, creamy and long lasting, they don't budge a whole lot but they do smudge a little but i think that is more down to the fact i can get super watery eyes.

L'Oreal Brow Artist Plumper in the shade Medium/Dark -

I had mentioned how i have been wanting to try this for the longest time but every single time i went into a boots or superdrug store they only ever had the blonde shade available. Finally i managed to get my hands on one and i haven't picked another brow gel since, this stuff is basically like hairspray for your brows they don't budge.

Essie Nail Polish in the shade Private Weekend, Barry M Nail Paint in the shade Matt White & Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy Nail Polish in the shade Sure Thing -

I had mentioned in a post previously that i was living for white nails this month, which i have never been a huge fan of in the past but now i am obsessed. These are three polishes that i have been switching from, but if i had to choose one of the three i would go for the one by Revlon as it was the one that lasted the longest.
