April Favourites

Well hello again! It has been a while since my last post and I am so sorry, but thank you for all staying with me :) College is now finished and I will have loads of time to do new posts and videos!
Its that time of the month again for Monthly favourites, so here is my April favourites and un-favourites!

Favourites

M.A.C Lipstick

In April the lipstick I wore the most was my M.A.C lipstick in the shade Angel. I love the moisture it has and it is a light Spring colour. I love to wear this lipstick when I do a dark smokey eye. The only thing I dislike about this lipstick is that I noticed it wastes quite quickly, I bought this on Valentines Day and It is almost gone. I have used it a lot but compared to other lipsticks I own that I've used even more it has worn down a lot in comparison to the L'oreal Collection Exclusive by Colour Riche.

 Kardashian Beauty Kourtney's Kardazzle Complete Face Palette

This has to be my Favourite out of all on my favourites for the month of April.

I bought this palette a couple of weeks ago and I use it everyday I just love the colours.

The palette comes with 8 Metallic eye shadows and a mirror on the top compartment. I usually wear nude but I decided to get some nice colours for the summer so I chose Kourtneys palette over Kim's which was a nude palette.  Like everything else there is always a downside, I found that the colours were not as pigmented as I thought they would be so you need to add a few layers, but other than that I love them.

  

On the bottom compartment that slides out there is two blushes and a highlight powder. The blushes are sparkly, which is new for me because I usually go for a more matte blush but again I like to try new things.

The highlighter is my favourite part of the palette to be honest, it is really good and doesn't cake. I was using the Seventeen highlighter until I got this, I love the powder highlighter because it feels lighter on my face than the liquid.

This palette cost me €19.99 which I thought was quite reasonable at the time, but when I took the palette out I was quite disappointed with the case, when you slide out the bottom compartment it is quite loose and it feels like it is just going to fall off. Other than the case I am delighted with this product and I will continue to use it over the summer :)

Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser

My next favourite of the month is the Baby skin instant pore eraser by maybelline. Iv tried so many primers and I have to say this is one of the best I've tried! It really does make your pores disappear, and it makes my make up look so smooth and flawless, and for €11.49 it is worth it! Although the bottle is quite small at 22ml, a little goes a long way. I don't use this everyday because I want to make it last so I still use my Garnier 5 Sec Perfect Blur Smoothing Perfecting Primer. For any one looking for a primer I definitely suggest both of these! Garnier 5 Sec Perfect Blur Smoothing Perfecting Primer costs €20.00 which is more expensive but it is fantastic!

Batiste Dry Shampoo Fruity & Cheeky Cherry

This dry shampoo has been my best friend for the past month! I usually wash my hair every second day, but this past month Iv been so busy and have been doing college work  late every night so it was hard to actually pamper myself so I only got to wash my hair every 3 - 4 days (wish I had a shower) and this product really became my best friend! I love cherry flavor anything so of course I chose the cherry scent, and it smells lovely! Dry shampoo is a Savior!

Fuschia Concealer Palette

I bought this palette a long time ago for €5.00 in a Fuschia sale normally it would have been around €20.00. I bought it for the under eye and blemish concealer.

As you can see Iv used a lot of the green and pink concealer, I stopped using this palette for a while because I bought a M.A.C concealer. The reason I started using it again was because of the dark brown colours, I watched videos on YouTube on how to contour you face and I noticed in a lot of the videos people used a dark foundation or powder. I checked everywhere for a contour set and I couldn't find one, unfortunately my town is quite small and doesn't stock a lot of the good make up brands. But then one day I remembered I had this palette, so I tried out the dark shades for contouring and it worked so well! YAY! 

 E45 Lotion for Very Dry Skin

The past month I've had very dry skin, I think it might of been the change in the weather because the past month has been so sunny and warm which I think dried out my skin, so I went into boots and bought this E45 Lotion for very dry skin and I used it on my face and my dry skin on my hands and arms. I have to same it is amazing! it made my skin so soft and it is so refreshing!, I will definitely be using this over the summer. I got this Lotion in Boots on special for €3.99.

 This month Devious Maids started its 2nd season and I was so excited! I loved the first season and the second season has not disappointed! I just LOVE this show! Its full of drama, mystery, romance and comedy, If you liked Desperate House Wives you will definitely love this show. It is definitely worth the watch!

Un-favourites

 NYX Eyebrow Cake Powder

I bought this eyebrow kit a few weeks ago and I was so excited to get it, and when I tried it I was so disappointed! It looked so bad on my eyebrows it definitely did cake but more under the brow and you could see that they were filled in. I bought the dark brown colour because my eyebrows are dark but even the darkest colour was too bright. I will definitely not buy this again it was a waste of money. I am currently using Rimmel London Glam Eyes HD 022Brixton Brown Palette to fill in my brows and it works much better for me than the NYX kit.  This was the first NYX product along with a primer which isn't all that great either, so far I am not impressed with NYX, maybe I just picked two bad products but I'm not pushed to buy another product.

That's it for my April Favourites, I hope you all enjoyed :) I will have another post soon :)

You can check me out on twitter, instagram, youtube etc, links are in the side bar :) 

If you have tried any of these products please let me know what you think, I'm still trying to figure out why I cant reply to your comments, but as soon as I find out I will make sure to reply :)
