April Favorites!


To be honest, I didn't really have many favorites this month. Which is very surprising as I normally have quite a few things to show and tell but this month. Nope. Minimum items unfortunately (3. I know right). BUT! (There's has to be a but) I do have a lot to talk about these products.

I think it was around the middle of April when I came across the Big Easy BB Cream from Benefit and I knew that I have read and heard about this quite a lot. I was also on the hunt for a BB cream at that moment of time and it was a brilliant opportunity to take a look!
This BB cream has an amazing texture! I love how it goes from a liquid to a powder as soon as you apply it to the face and it feels so incredibly light that most of the time I have literally forgotten that I had it on!
You can easily build up the coverage of this by just applying extra and the good thing about this is it doesn't look unnatural when having more of it on.
This is an old favorite of mine but last month I used it nearly everyday! It is the Neal's Yard Lip Gloss and the smell of this is organismic! I also love the texture of this. Soft and smooth. It's a real spring kind of lip gloss because it has this little bit of shimmer to it and looks so nice if you are going for a natural look.

The last favorite is the love of my life....Yankee Candles. I love love LOVE Yankee Candles! I can't seem to get enough. I find the scent of these candles so calming and let's the mind turn off and relax. I always light one when watching TV or reading a book and it's so calming.
So, when I noticed that my old Yankee Candle was burning out, of course, I had to run out and found more! I have a problem, ok. The ones that I brought our Black Cherry and Lemon. I've never tried these ones before but, oh my goodness, I was in heaven! And I was so pleased that I found a lemon one as lemon is my favorite scent!









And that is it! I hope you all enjoyed your April as much as I did! Before I forget. May the fourth be with you...oh yeah. Haha. See you all soon!

Toodles!

April Wishlist: Makeup Edition!

Hello Lovelies!

How have we all been? Enjoying the sun, are we? Hehe. I know I am! I am so so happy the sun has finally wanted to come out!

If you've been reading my blog, you may of known that last month I did a wishlist for skincare and I did actually buy some of those products! Woopie! So, I thought I would do another wishlist for this month as well but for makeup as I've heard so many good things about these certain products! So, here we go!



Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm
If you're a common beauty blog reader, you've may of heard about this product a lot! This lipstick balm is very popular and ,in my eyes, very beautiful! I love the different colours of this balm and the names of them...don't even get me started!


Sleek Makeup Brow Kit
I am always trying to get my eyebrows perfect and knowing me, I will try anything to do so! This Sleek brow kit looks extremely helpful and I like how it comes with little brushes and tweezers, very classy! Haha.



Lancome Teint Idole Ultra 24hr Foundation
I've actually tried this foundation out by getting a sample from my local Debenhams store and oh my goodness, I am in love.. This is so natural and really balances out the skin tone. I also have to add that it smells divine! I always love a good smelling foundation.



Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer
The many times I've been recommended this product is countless! Not kidding! Every time I ask about good concealers, I always get told to try the Nars concealer as it covers up dark circles under the eyes and little blemishes and has good coverage. 

So, there we have it! My wishlist for April! I hope this has given you a couple of ideas of what to buy for your next beauty shop. 

Question of the day: What is on YOUR wishlist this month?

See You Soon

Wishlist for Skin Care: March Edition

Hello my Lovelies!

How has your day been today? Or if your day hasn't started yet, have a great day! Today, I will be telling you my wishlist for this month and it will be specifically for skin care as I am in need for new skin products as I am running out. I would love it if you told me your opinion on these products if you do own them and what you rate them!

THE SKIN PRODUCTS:


I've heard good things about this exfoliator! To be honest, this is the first time I've wanted to use something from this brand, so it will be interesting to see how this turns out.


Lately, I've been having a few spots breaking out and I always seem to go back to this brand because it makes my skin really good! But, I haven't tried this certain product before so this will be interesting as well!


I've been wanting this product for a while now and I've had so many positive recommendations of this and been told that it is awesome!


This is another product that I've been wanting try for a while too! This looks amazing and the reviews of this have been so good so far! 


I am so excited to be able to try all of these products! They all look very professional and will hopefully work like wonders on my skin. I will keep you all updated of when I've brought these products and I will give you my honest opinion on them. 

Until next time. I post every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. You're Beautiful and Thanks for Reading!

February Favorites!

Hello Lovelies!

Cheesy hello there. How has everyone's week been? Can I just say, THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY! I've been wanting and waiting for this day to come all week! I just want a lay in...you know? I've been so tired this week, I've literally never been so tired! Utter craziness!

Well, onto the point of this post. Today, I will be doing my first ever monthly favorites! Yay! I have been so excited to do this as I've had so many good little purchases this month! And I am very excited to be able to share them with you all.

So, at the beginning of the month, I really wanted a new eye shadow palette as my old one was worn and I just needed some new colours in my life that actually suited me! So, I brought the MUA Eye shadow Palette Heaven and Earth. I love this so much! I haven't gone a day without wearing it, I find it so natural and just perfect if you don't want to look extreme with your eye makeup! Recommend so much! Click here to check it out!



My next need of purchases was my fabulous makeup brushes! I absolutely love these brushes! It has every brush that you can think of and it is so amazing for when you want to really experiment or look professional with your makeup. It is 32 piece set and it is by Vanz. I've never heard of this brand but I was desperate for some brushes and they looked really good and had positive reviews, so I thought just go for them! And not a single regret! One of my best purchases ever! Have a look here if interested!



I was having a look around on Amazon, I came across this adorable little Q&A Journal, then I remembered that BubzBeauty had this and she really recommended it to her viewers and oh my goodness, it is just so so cute! Every day, you get asked a question that you have to answer at the end of the day and it just makes you think about what happened that day or the last time you did something. For example, today's question was 'When was the last time you was sick?' And I answered 'Christmas Time'. As this is a 5 year journal, you answer the same questions on that day for 5 years and it lets you look back on what your wrote the year before. I really enjoy it! If you are too interested, link is here!





Another makeup product that I actually recently brought is the Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Foundation. I am in love with this foundation! It's got good coverage and covers the little blemishes on my face, which I always love! This is my first foundation that I have brought other than the Natural Foundation. And can I just say that the price of this was only £3.00! I was so lucky to get on sale in Superdrug! Thank you Superdrug! This is also a really good starting foundation for people that are just starting to use and experience makeup, I really REALLY recommend this! Get it here! Now! I mean it. 








Another recent purchase I have made is the John Frieda Shampoo - Colour Protection. This is amazing on my hair especially as I've just dyed it. This keeps the colour in your hair in longer than normal shampoo would do. Weird point but it smells good! It smells like strong soap..(duh, Erin) but a good smell of soap, you know? I enjoy this a lot! I actually need to buy the conditioner of it too, so little hint of what will be on next month's favorites. Haha. Have a look here if you want too!










I always like the smell of candles in my room, especially Yankee Candles! I can not get enough of them! They smell so incredible! And last for ages! The recent one that I've brought is called Vanilla Cupcake and it smells so much like cupcakes that it makes me hungry! I find it so relaxing as well, I always like to come home from a busy day at school or work and go upstairs to my room, put some relaxing music on and light the candle and mediate, it makes me feel so calm. I must say, Yankee Candles are my latest obsessions, I love the smell of them so much! Ahhh! If I was you, I would purchase one for just relaxation - click here to get one!





For fun, I brought one of my favorite films, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason. I am so relatable to Bridget sometimes with the things she does and says! I find her incredibly funny! So you all don't get confused, this is the second film of the two but they are both amazingly funny! I find fascinating how Renee Zellweger had to prepare for these films and what she had to learn and do to be perfect for the role. She is officially one of my favorite actresses! If you want a copy, check it out here on Amazon.  










We have come to the end of the favorites! Wayhey! I hope you've enjoyed reading what I liked and brought this month, believe me there will be a continuous series of monthly favorites! I also hoped I've made you interested in these products and you go ahead and buy them! Tell me in the comments below or on my social medias that you have as I would love to know. Also, tell me what YOUR monthly loves are this month! I'm always nosy to know! Haha.

Time to say goodbye and I'll see you next Monday!

I post every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. You're Beautiful and Thanks for Reading.
