Monthly Favourites | April


Hi everyone! So I haven't been blogging for quite a little while because I've been attempting to update my blog design and for me,it takes quite a while because I'm not exactly a professional when it comes to these things but anyway back to what I was talking about....April favourites. Although,I seriously can't believe it's May already - the year is passing by in what feels like a blink of an eye. Although I am looking forward to warmer weather,longer evenings and reintroducing my favourite spring products into my routine. Here are some of the things I have been loving this month....

Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit -  I got this palette for Christmas and have used it nearly every day since. I seriously don't know why I didn't get this sooner,it just ticks all the right boxes. The powders are long lasting,pigmented and blendable. All the things you want from powders,right? I was over the moon about how good the contour shades were,I mainly use the shade Fawn for contouring(the middle shade in the second row). I've definitely used it a lot this month. Not only does it sort out contouring and highlighting,but setting,non-budging concealer and you could also have a matte eyeshadow look too. I do love a good multi-tasking product.

Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation - Foundation is always something I struggle to get right but this particular foundation works for me. I have used this non-stop this month.Although I wouldn't recommend it for anyone with dry skin as it clings to dry patches but this foundation is definitely right up my street. I had heard so many good things about it and they have proven to be right.

Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge -  You probably seen this in my latest haul and I am definitely glad that I decided to buy this. It has changed my makeup application entirely,this is the best tool for applying concealer. It ticks all the boxes for me with concealer,it is shaped in away that it can get under your eyes to blend out concealer and doesn't leave the concealer cakey in the slightest. Although I love this sponge,I don't like blending foundation with it but it's a concealer saviour and like anything made by Real Techniques,a truly great product.

Real Techniques 301 Bold Metals Flat Contour Brush - This brush has taken my contour routine to a whole new level.The density of the brush creates a much more sculpted contour,whenever I first used this brush I couldn't believe the result it had. This paired with my Anastasia Contour Kit is the perfect combination. Definitely worth every penny,it turns my round face with barely any cheekbone into a sculpted contoured cheekbone.

So there we have it,my April favourites! I also thought I would mention a website that I recently came across, **www.voucherbin.co.uk**,it's a great discount website which offers discount codes for well known brands. All you need to do is go to shopping categories and select Health & Beauty to get discount codes for sites like Feel Unique,Look Fantastic etc. Well worth checking out if you're a bit like me and love online shopping and sometimes you can over spend.
