April favourites

Hello, this is a slightly delayed April favourites post seen as we are a few days into May now. Is it just me or has this year gone super fast. I'm not one for monthly favourite posts, I don't change my make up a lot I tend to stick to the stuff I have. Well, I say that but I do change quite a few things but just not monthly so it wouldn't make a very good read if the favourites are the same every time. 

Models Own Nail Polishes: Fuzzy Peach, Luis Lemon & Pink Punch

I'm obsessed with neon nails this summer, especially yellow so I picked up these two models own ones which were in my haul, click here if you haven't read it and would like to. Well anyway I fancied getting the pink too and then they were 3 for 2 and I was after a peachy colour so I got fuzzy peach. They're all £5 each. I love the neon colours I have worn both and they dry really quickly. Plus they're matte nail polishes and they feel super nice when they're dry. If your liking neon nails right now, then definitely try the models own ones out.

Revlon Nail Art Moon Candy: 200 Orbit & 230 Satellite

Again these were both in my haul and these were £7.99 each. I wore the black one this weekend and it is so cute. Again it dries super fast; I get bored when I am waiting for my nails to dry and tend to get distracted easily, which leads to them smudging and being an absolute mess. I love how fast they dry which is making me extremely tempted to buy some more Revlon nail polishes. As soon as I finished my hand I waited for less than a minute and they were dry. The glittery bits look very cute too!

Revlon Lip Butter: Juicy Papaya

Again this was featured in my haul and I have also done a review that if you haven't read now you can if you click here. Wow, I have done a lot of links today. Anyway I don't want to right too much about this for those of you who have read my review, as you may find this tedious and boring. Straight to the point, it's a beautiful colour and its just amazing.

Benefit's They're Real Mascara

I don't know if this really counts as an April favourite considering I've only just started to use it in May but it's on here now. I also got a mini one free today with Elle magazine so if you don't want to splurge and buy this you can try it out first. They also sell mini ones in boots for £9.50 if you can't find Elle. Anyway enough with all the availability. It is a phenomenal (wow, big word.) mascara. It is very lengthening and volumising but it can get a little bit clumpy sometimes but other times its perfect. But I just brush through them with another mascara wand or an eyebrow brush, strange huh? I am planning to do a full review of this mascara so watch out if you're interested.

Seventeen Doll'd Up Mascara  

Now I have also reviewed this before so there is a link here. So again I don't want to be too boring and repeat the same things to you all. I know I got this towards the end of March but I've been loving it in April too! Anyway its really good, I personally like it a lot, not as much as the Benefit one but it is pretty close and considering it is about a third of the price, I will be repurchasing. 

Real Techniques Brushes: Contour & Detailer

These were featured in my haul that I posted yesterday, click here. I love the detailer for concealer and it is the perfect size to apply concealer. Plus it is super soft and feels lovely on your skin. I like all the brushes in the collection but these are the two I seem to get the most use out of.

Sorry for the link overload.

What have you loved in April?

Revlon lip butter review

Hello! If you read my recent haul you may have realized I finally got a Revlon lip butter. I know, it's about time, every blogger has been raving about them for a while now, it might've been a year now! Anyway I finally got one and I completely understand the hype. I usually don't buy hyped up products because I always find them to be a let down, they usually aren't as great as you build them up to be in your mind, hence why I waited so long. The shade I got was 27 Juicy Papaya. 

Sorry about my chubby fingers and my unpainted nails...

A couple of swatches.

So enough of the pictures, now for the actual review. I wasn't actually sure on the colour when I picked it up because there were no testers left, but I hoped for the best and picked it up anyway the lid colour was pretty and summery so why not take a chance? Well I did, it must've caught me in a good mood, usually I'd be pretty dubious. As soon as I got home I had to try it on, as soon as I buy make up I usually go home and try it on straight away unless it's nail polish. Am I weird, or do you do this too?

Anyway I couldn't really see it that well due to bad lighting and whatnot. But I could tell the consistency was super moisturizing, which I was delighted about. I use way too much vaseline on my lips aswell as using lipstick and it's kind of annoying when a lipstick dries out your lips. I guess this is isn't specifically a lipstick, the whole butter thing suggests that but hey. 

When the lighting was good enough to see the colour, I was really happy. It's such a pretty colour and my first impression was right, very summery. At first the colours not very bright but it is easily built and you can't expect it to be extremely pigmented. It isn't advertised to be and it is so moisturizing. It acts as a lip balm so its not going to be overly pigmented. Plus it makes it better for summer in my opinion, you can have lip colour but not too bright, more effortless and easy.

I love the colour and I am so happy I got it. Now I am desperate to try out some more, at the moment I'm after candy apple. 

I would give it 9/10!

Any colour recommendations for these lip butters?

No7 Palette

Every year at Christmas as part of boots gift range they bring out this exact palette full of No7 goodies. My mum buys it for me every year, this palette hasn't yet been used but they contain all the same things every year so I'm currently still ploughing through my other one. You can buy all the stuff in the palette all year round otherwise this review would be a little pointless.

I'm going to start with the top layer which is full of eye shadows and lipsticks. 

Starting with the left side of eye shadows the colours are:

Khaki

Wheatsheaf

Mink

Then the next shades are sold as a palette but there names are:

Eden Dark

Eden Medium

Cappuccino Dark

Now for the right side:

Vivid Violet

Comet

Island Sea

Then again the next three are sold in a palette together and the colours are:

Storm Medium

Storm Dark

Organza Medium

Now for the lovely lipsticks, which are all No7 Moisture Drench lipsticks (from left to right):

Red Carpet

Waterlily

Paradise

Bare

Out of all the lipsticks I use waterlily the most and it's perfect for spring/summer. It's such a beautiful pink colour. I also use Red Carpet but thats more for the evening time for me, I love red lipstick but I just don't wear it in the day. My favourite eye shadows are Mink, Eden Dark and Eden Medium. Which are all the neutral colours, I don't really like wearing coloured eye shadow but in this palette they're all quite sheer so I do actually use the coloured ones too!

Then there is the bottom layer and again I'm going to do the left side first then the right side.

Left side:

Coral Flush

Dandy Pink

Soft Damson 

Honey

Right side:

High Lights Illuminating Powder in Island Glow

No7 Perfectly Pressed Powder Translucent

I use the right side of the powder to highlight and contour a little I don't know if the second powder is meant to be used for that but it's way too dark for my whole face, seen as I am very pale. Out of the blushers I use Honey the most it's such a gorgeous colour although it looks a bit dark considering I've just mentioned my pale skin once put on it isn't as dark because again it's quite sheer. My second most used blusher is Soft Damson, it's such a pretty pink colour and it isn't too bright for my skin.  

I love using this palette as it has a great selection of colour for your lips, eyes and cheeks and everyone can use it. It's so pretty. If your not too interested in buying any of the colours but do like quite a few then definitely look out for this palette nearer Christmas! 

Thank you for reading, lots of love xxx

Seventeen Doll'd Up Mascara Review

I took a quick trip to boots about two weeks ago as I was in desperate need of a new mascara and only a mascara. I managed to only buy a mascara which I was pleased about as I will go in boots usually and come out with far more than I needed or even wanted before I went in there. Seventeen had just released a new mascara and it was £6.29 so I thought I'd try it out.

I hadn't heard anything about is so I didn't really know what to expect but I love it! It separates your lashes and doesn't clump them at all which is perfect. No matter how many coats you put on they stay separate! Plus it does elongate my lashes too, they look a lot longer than they originally did with a slight curl. The only thing I would fault this mascara on is if you curl your lashes to it doesn't hold it as well as I'd like it too. They tend to fall a bit. However I forgot to take this off the other night and I didn't wake up looking like a panda. It was all still on my lashes, I could've left the house and no one would have noticed that I hadn't freshly put any mascara on. Except there isn't much curl but I won't be going out with yesterdays mascara on anyway so that doesn't bother me! 

All in all I would give this mascara 9/10. 

It's inexpensive and makes your lashes look great but I would like it to lengthen a tiny bit more and it could hold the curl a bit better but it is really good! I would recommend!
