April was quite a good month but I can't get over how fast this year is going, hopefully Summer is on it's way 'cause I'm a bit tired of being cold all the time! I have quite a few favourites this month so I'm going to try not to ramble too much.
I've been loving the Makeup Geek Contour powder in Bad Habit, it's designed for warm, fair skin I really like that they have so many shades and they tell you what skin tone they are best for, it's so helpful if you're unsure of what colour to go for. It is really pigmented but blends really well.
The Soap and Glory Rosy Chic blush is such a pretty, easy to wear colour, it's great for Spring and probably the nicest "drugstore" blush I've used.
I've heard great things about the Jeffree Star skin frosts but hadn't seen one I thought would work on my skin, then I saw his collab with Manny MUA the colour Eclipse looked perfect, it is a little difficult to work with so I tend to use the Spectrum Contour brush to buff it on and then use the Sigma Tapered Highlight brush to blend it out and it works great, I know there's controversy around Jeffree and Manny and I'm not a fan of either but this is a really pretty highlight.
I'd been eyeing up the Urban Decay eyeshadow in Roach for a while and it is everything I'd hoped it would be! It works really well with the Naked one palette and the Too Faced Sweet Peach palette but I also find that it works well by itself if I'm in a rush (overslept and have no time to do my makeup)
I've also really been into orange toned eyeshadows lately, I know I've mentioned the Anastasia Modern Renaissance palette before but this time it's the shades Burnt Orange and Realgar that have really been in use for this month.
The Body Shop Tea Tree range has really been saving my skin lately, the 3in1 wash, scrub and mask has been useful to use a few times a week to keep my skin from breaking out, and then I've been using the anti-imperfection daily solution twice a day and have really been noticing a difference. I've also been loving the facial mask brush to apply facemasks, it makes applying facemasks so easy, they go on evenly and it means it doesn't irritate the eczema on my hands.
I'm only supposed to wear nude nail polish at work so this Essie colour in Spin the Bottle is perfect, I thought it was cruelty free but I now don't think it is, I wanted to mention it anyway as it has literally been the only nail polish I wore all month.
My lips have been really sore and dry lately and this First Aid Beauty lip balm has really helped to make a huge difference, I think as long as I keep wearing liquid lipstick my lips will never be great but this has really helped a lot.
I've been looking to try the Lush Ro's Argan Body Conditioner for a while and it has lived up to all of my hopes, it makes your skin so soft but also leaves a beautiful scent that lingers.
I think I mentioned in my February favourites that I loved Broadchurch, as it ended in April I figured I could talk about it again, it was such a well thought out story and I really felt like it did the show proud, I am sad it's all ended now but it ended so well and really did the first season justice.
After seeing everyone go on about Line of Duty on twitter I decided that we needed to give it a go, we could only watch the first two series online as the third isn't out on netlflix yet but we both absolutely loved it. It's such an interesting side to police dramas and so addictive, I'm really hoping series 3 comes onto netflix soon.
The last TV show I wanted to mention is one I never thought I'd watch, Hollyoaks, it's so over the top it's quite funny but as it's only about half an hour long it's so easy to watch and I've been getting hooked on all of the different characters.
That's it for my April favourites, again I'm so annoyed about the quality of the pictures but I'm not really sure how to change that for now, I hope it isn't too bad.
Thankyou for reading ♡
