April Favourites

As always I'm a couple of days late with my monthly favourites!

This is my favourite lip combo at the minute. Mac's Pink Nouveau teamed with New Look's pink lip liner. I struggled for a long time trying to find a liner that matched this lipstick but this is perfect. This colour is great for someone that wants colour on their lips but not something that's too mad.

New look has recently brought their makeup range in to my local store and of course I was a like a magpie when I seen it! I will be doing a full review on what I've bought in a couple of posts.

This is the most moisturising hand cream ever! I use it every night as its quite oily and it has a chance to sink into my skin. It's become part of my night time routine and as soon as you put it on your hands feel instantly nourished. This hand cream is made with a combination of shea, peanut cashew and almond butters which make it a heavy duty moisturiser. It's £7.99 for a 100g pot and when I say a little goes a long way I'm not exaggerating so the tub will last a lifetime. Lush's products are great as they are all made from natural ingredients so won't irritate the skin.

After reading my last post you won't be surprised to see this in my favourites this month! This is on & on bronze and my favourite shade in the 24hr color tattoo eye shadows. It's can be used alone or with other eyeshadows to create different looks.

This is by far the best setting powder ever invented! As a girl with combination skin an oily t-zone is a daily struggle and this is my miracle product. I will be doing a full review of it so be sure to keep an eye out for it.

After losing my ELF blush brush on a night out I needed to get a new one and quick and with Eyes Lips Face now closing they didn't have my blusher brush on their site. I had seen a few people rave about how good the EcoTools blusher brush from Boots was. So off I popped to my local store to get it and it's a steal at £7.99. I love this brush, it blends any blusher out so your not left with a big splodge of colour on your cheeks. This has me now wanting to  try out a few of their other brushes. 

After a few people telling me they liked my additions of my TV show and music of the month I have decided to add it again. 

Slightly addicted to House at the minute, so much so I spent the whole of Sunday watching it on Netflix! House is an American medical drama that ran for 8 seasons from 2004 to 2012. House is a medical genius who takes on rare cases that no one can seem to cure and breaks hospital rules and procedures to cure the patients. Anyone who hasn't seen this show needs to. It's a great watch which has me saying after every episode "just one more episode". 

James Bay is one hell of a musician and I was gutted I missed out tickets for his tour. This is my favourite song by him and when I have his album on I have a tendency to skip this back a few times before finally moving on to the next song.

So there you have it for my April favourites. Until next month and don't forget I love hearing your favourites too.

Maybelline Color Tattoo 24 Hour Eyeshadows

After finding out about these eye shadows through blogs and reading about how good they were I decided to give them a try for myself. They are amazing and I need to share them  with all of my readers. I bought them from Boots on the 3 for 2 offer which is still on.

They are lovely creamy eye shadows that give you time to blend them before they dry but once dry the don't budge all night. I wore them on a day out to Belfast and I had it on from 10.30 in the morning until 12 that night plus I had bopped about for an hour and a half at the McBusted concert and my eye-shadow was perfect before I took it off!

I'm going to do swatches of the colours that I have and give a brief description of them.

Pink Gold This is a beautiful rose gold colour with a lovely shimmer to it. This is lovely when put over the whole eyelid and then use black in the outer corner of the eye.

Endless Purple This is the most amazing colour and has a slight shimmer to it but not too much. 

Creamy Beige This beige colour has a subtle gold shimmer which is barely noticeable and it's a lovely colour for any look you want to achieve.

Metallic Pomegranate This colour is bard to describe; it's a reddy purple brown shade and has gold glitter through it. This so nice alone.

Timeless Black This is a matte black and so pigmented. This would be great to use as an eyeliner as it is so matte and won't budge.

Vintage Plum This is a dusty lavender colour with grey undertones, it has a matte finish. It needs a couple of layers as the first one applies quite patchy.

Turquoise Forever This is the reason I wanted to get these, it the most amazing turquoise colour with a slight shimmer in it.

On & On Bronze This bronze shade is amazing it has a foiled finish which is all in at the minute. This is definitely one my favourites followed closely by the next shade.

Eternal Gold This gold colour has the most amazing foil finish. It is so nice when applied all over the eye and then apply black or a dark brown to the crease. 

That is all the shades I have at the minute. They come in a little glass pot and have a tendency to dry out so make sure the lids are always closed properly. These are so highly pigmented you will only need one or two coats of them. I apply these with my finger then blend the edges with a brush. Because they dry so quickly I tend to do one eye at a time. Anyone who hasn't tried these eye shadows yet I can't recommend them enough! Every one raves about Mac Paint Pots these are the cheaper and better version. At £4.99 each they are definitely a beauty steal.
