April 2015 Favourites!

Hello Friends :)

After watching Zoella's April favourite products video on YouTube, I thought you guys might like to know the products that I am LOVING at the moment! I'm not paid to promote any of these products, they are just honestly products that I am currently using and I find work well for me!

The first product is Seventeen BB Magic Blemish Balm.

I am literally so obsessed with this product! I wanted a BB cream to wear whilst I was on holiday in Crete, and the fact that it said that it would 'improve skin within 4 weeks' was an added bonus: and it does exactly what it said on the tin (well...packet/box thing!). I wore it whilst sunbathing (because it has SPF 25) and I'm rather self-conscious about my acne scars and spots, and I did not burn which I 100% would if there was no SPF in it. It also improved my skin so much that at the moment I have stopped using foundation and I'm just applying this to my skin everyday! 

I used the shade 'light' (it only comes in two shades which is a bit of a bummer), and if you have very fair skin THE LIGHT WILL BE TOO DARK FOR YOU. It is just about right for me! It has a really good coverage, it's a little bit shiny and sticky so I like to put a powder such as Rimmel's Stay Matte on top, but I am IN LOVE with this item! I bought it for £6.99 from Boots, so it doesn't break the back either! My new go-to! 




Item number two is Victoria's Secret Pure Seduction Fragrance Mist.

I'm not usually a 'body mist' type of girl. I much prefer perfumes. However, my Chanel Chance perfume has nearly run out *weep* and as someone studying for a Masters degree I simply do not have enough money to buy another £50-80 perfume.

However, I won a goodie bag from my local Victoria's Secret store, and received three Pure Seduction items, including this body fragrance. It's described on their websites as: 

"A flirty, floral fragrance. Entice in Pure Seduction, a passionate romance of succulent red plum and sweet freesia. Experience the luxury of fragrance. Refreshing formula is infused with conditioning aloe vera and calming chamomile. Spray on for a sexy touch of scent."

...and this pretty much sums it up. It smells divine. It doesn't seem to last as long as some perfumes, however it's a really lovely spritzer which seems to energise me for the day... and I know I leave my flat smelling scrummy! If you don't like fruity or floral fragrances, then this one isn't for you...but if you do I'D CERTAINLY RECOMMEND IT! In the U.S. this retails for $14, and in the UK I believe it is around £8.99. So again, pretty cheap... and it lasts a really long time! I'll for sure be buying it again once it runs out! 




My third product of the month is Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm.

My lovely sister gave me this because she accidentally bought two of the same colour (lucky me!!) and as soon as I put it on my lips I fell in love! The colour that I have is #225 Sultry Sulfureuse. It's  a great colour to wear in the evening on a night out or dinner with friends, but it's also really great to wear during the day and just dress up what you're wearing! It's really pigmented and lasts for ages without needing to top it up. It's £7.99 at Boots and I just want to go and buy all of the colours because I love it so much!!!

Here is a photo of me wearing the lip crayon so you can see how it looks on actual lips!

My final product of the month is something for all of my fellow curly-haired pals: Garnier Fructis Style My Curl Perfecting Mousse.

As many girls with curls will agree, finding a mousse that suits your hair is the ultimate challenge. I finally feel like I've NEARLY hit the jackpot with this one. It doesn't leave my hair feeling stiff or sticky, but I don't agree that it holds defined curls for 24 hours (mine probably hold for about 8-12 which is why I said I've NEARLY hit the jackpot!). If you're budget-conscious like me then I think this is a pretty good purchase as it only costs £2.89 at Boots. 

Anyway, this is what my hair tends to look like after I've used it:

*NOTE* I say TENDS to look like because as many curlies know, curly hair tends to have a mind of its own and therefore looks different every single time. This is also after I have dried it using a diffuser on my hairdryer which is my normal routine.



WELL! Feel free to leave a comment and ask me any questions about these products, and I'll be more than happy to answer them!
