April Favourites

This month I have been LOVING these products which I haven't been able to put down. Most of these products I have used in my beauty tutorials but I haven't shared in detail as to why you need these products in your lives right now!!! Last month I didn't have many monthly favourites so I decided to combine last month's favourites into this month. I have been using these products  continuously all month and I have featured them in previous blog posts which just shows how I am super impressed with all the products listed. I hope you try out these products to see how amazing they are for yourselves. Let me know if any of you have tried out any of these favourites through my social media!! xx

1. Superdrug Vitamin E Serum- After being super impressed with the eye cream from the same range (featured in my Winter Skincare post) I wanted to try out the serum. This light-weight formula is an absolute dream to work with and sinks into the skin so fast! This means that I don't need to wait for my serum to sink in which means I can do my skincare routine quicker. It's enriched with Vitamin E which hydrates the skin and makes my skin so soft and supple (what more could you want?)
At £3.99 for a 50ml bottle you definitely can't go wrong in trying it out for yourselves so head to your nearest Superdrug- pick one of these up and I promise you won't regret it!

2.Bourjois Bronzing Powder Medium/Dark- At £7.99 this bronzer is perfect to achieve a natural bronzed face for the warmer months and has become my most-used product this month. I have used this product in my Zendaya Inspired Makeup Tutorial if you want to see how this turns you into a bronzed goddess! I'm in love with the packaging (looks like a chocolate bar) as well as the cocoa powder smell which is heaven!!
This product has become my holy-grail bronzer as it's not too orange and can definitely work on even pale skin as you can build the pigmentation up slowly.

3.. L.A. Girl Pro High Definition Orange Colour Corrector- Being a brown girl, having dark pigmentation around the eyes and the mouth is inevitable (#browngirlproblems) . However my makeup game has changed after discovering that orange colour corrector cancels out dark areas. No more dark circles peeking through your concealer ladies...this bad boy has come to the rescue. It has an in-built brush head so all you have to do is squeeze it and swipe it under your eyes and anywhere else you need it then I blend it in with a beauty blender and then add concealer once it dries.
I purchased this on BeautyBay for £5.00 (bargain!)

4. Milani Baked Blush in Luminso- This peachy blush is absolutely perfect and I've been using it non-stop this month. The peachy tones makes your skin look so healthy as well as the pearlescent finish giving you a lit-from-within look. I love how whenever I use this product I don't feel like I need to wear a highlighter as it acts as a highlight and blush duo and it will amazing on light/medium skin tones. Whenever I'm indecisive on what blush to wear, I always pick this blush as it's a 'safe' choice without being too over-powering.
It's £10.00 which is a bit more than the high street price but I can guarantee you that you'll fall in love with it.

5. Gerard Cosmetics 1995 Lipstick- This is my go-to nude lipstick for everyday wear as it's so comfortable to wear on the lips and hydrates the lips. This lipstick shade is universal and will look great on most skin tones. If you want to see how it looks on and a more in-depth review then check out my Top 5 Nude Lipsticks post. It's priced at £9.95 which is more than high street prices but it's unique shade and gold packaging make it hard to resist.

6. Beautyblender- If you haven't heard about this product then where have you been? This egg-shaped sponge has changed the way I have been applying makeup and has definitely made it's mark in the beauty world. Before using the beauty blender, ALWAYS wet the sponge, never use it dry and I use this to apply foundation in a bouncing motion. It gives you the most flawless base without it looking cakey due to the sponge soaking up excess product if needed.
This sponge needs to be in your makeup bag and you'll never go back!

7. Real Techniques Expert Face Brush- This brush is a magic wand! I use this to apply my foundation and honestly, it gives me medium/ high coverage and gives my face a smooth looking application. I will never go back to any other brush.

8. OGX Renewing  Moroccan Argan oil - This lightweight dry oil not only smells insanely good but conditions and restores moisture to your hair. My hair has been very dry recently, but I found that spritzing some of this good stuff after washing my hair, then blow drying it, really helped to give it that shine and renewal it needed. My hair always feels like I just walked out the salon every time I use this.
It's only £6.99 and helps you maintain healthy, shiny and non-frizzy hair... I say that's a WIN!

Zendaya Inspired Makeup Tutorial

I came across this picture of Zendaya (woman-crush <3) and I knew I HAD to recreate it as it's the perfect look for this summer. This look is perfect for summer nights-out or even to a festival. I love having a glow in the summer and this look just screams golden glow (who doesn't want that?) I am in LOVE with this gorgeous bright orange lip colour which ties the whole look together and works beautifully with the golden tones on the rest of the face. This look requires few products which I have listed below and is so quick and easy to recreate. I love how effortless the eye makeup is and how flawless the skin looks which totally gives me summer vibes...
