Favourites #1 - April

This is the first favourites post I've done! Ironically I don't actually have that many favourites this month since my skins been acting up so I've not really ventured out of my safety blanket and used minimal products.

That being said I have been loving and using a lot of the Kevin Aucoin creamy glow duo (which I reviewed in my last post). At first I was all for Pravelle, the rosy pink shade, but now I'm lusting over Janelle which is more of a dusty pinky/peach as it leaves a lovely glow to the skin.

The Lord & Berry smudeproof eyeliner is 720 sand, is just a bronzy brown eyeliner stick. It's not too creamy and but not too hard, so I use it both on my eyes or on my waterline. It's not as harsh as black eyeliner or eyeshadow but still gives a little somethin' somethin' to your eyes. 

Skin wise, my skin has been horrendous well, horrendous for me as I broke out a bit. So I stopped using a lot of my usual makeup and focused on simple skincare. The laneige balancing emulsion is something I've had for ages and forgot about, it's so moisturising and simple so I've stopped using a complex routine and just stuck to this and treatment products/masks. Which has definitely helped since my skin's recovered now. Also just to mentioned, the La roche posay thermal spring water is another thing I've been loving for a long time now so thought I'd mention. This is great for all skin types and you literally just spray and a fine mist of thermal water sprays your face it's just great I love it.

Lip wise, I've rediscovered my love for the korres lip butter in quince. It's moisturising, pigmented and buttery. Definitely a handbag must have. As for my fingers, I've been using this & other stories nail polish in Moire Green quite a lot. It's a lovely really pale green that I think would compliment all skin tones when on.

I guess that's all, this is my first favourites so I do hope you enjoy it!

June favourites

Hollister 'Laguna Beach', Etude House SHINI STAR, Maybelline baby lips 'anti oxident berry', Maybelline baby lips 'cherry me', Etude House juciy cocktail gradation nails 5

My first product is just the hollister spray, it's around £12-£14 I'm not to sure but you get alot of product and it smells heavenly, also the bottle is not too tall and quite thin so it's easy to carry around and the nozzle squirts out alot of scent. The scent is florally and it stays with you for a while. Seeing as it's pretty affordable and has alot of product I don't feel bad spritzing alot on where as if I was using my Jimmy choo or Vera Wang perfume I'd be like saving every drop.

Next is just the shini star bb lotion by etude, it's a pretty small bb cream and only comes in one size and one colour, it has spf and pa++ which is great for me though the spf is low for me but it's all right since i wear missha sun block anyway. The coverage is good, allthough I don't recommend it for people with acne or dry patches because I think it'll just powder up around spots or dry patches and look pretty sickly. None the less the pump and overall packaging is cute and the product is good so I love it.

This baby lips isn't available in the UK or US, it was aimed at the asia region and I actually got it off ebay from thailand for £2.50. It's just a moisterizing lip balm which is small, cute and affordable (even if you are ordering it online), the only negative thing I have to say is, it can leave a horrid gloop/cast on your lips but overall it's a a good lip balm, not better then my etude ones but more like just a lip balm i carry in my bag.

Another baby lips, this one is the cherry me one which I got from Canada, the flavour is okay and the colour pay off isn't the best but atleast it doesn't look tacky  right? but this is great for that natural flush especially for school where you don't want to look too over done. It's also moisterizing but the colour transfers easilly.

Lastly another Etude product, this time for the nails. My review on the blue gradation nails blew up so I'll probably review this one too, just comment below if you'd like that ^_^

This golden rustic colour is 5  princess mary. I love these colours as I find them really wearable individually aswell as together like if it's just a normal day I might just wear the colours on their own, but you can also play the whole gradiation down by just having glittery french tips for a night out where as more blended look for work or school.
