My top 3 lipsticks | Beauty's favour

                                 

So, spring is on its way and I can't express enough how much I love to wear lipstick! Year in year out I always have an 'everyday' lipstick that I'll use pretty much everyday as my go to! I have a 'night-out-dressy-uppy' lipstick that I like to wear when I am dressing up and maybe wearing a little more

makeup than usual. And a 'I fancy a bit of  a change' lipstick that I'll wear when I'm feeling a bit bored of my everyday go to one. (That I'll always end up going back to) I usually always buy my lipsticks from drugstores as I feel you can get just as good quality and shades than those that cost over twice as much, like why buy one lipstick in one shade when I can buy 3 for the same cost and have 3 different shades?

So. These are my current 3 most used drugstore lipsticks.

On the right - COLLECTION - VINTAGE ROSE
The one at the top. - AVON COLOUR RICH - CHIC

At the bottom - W7 - SCARLET FEVER

Vintage rose is my everyday lipstick, it's very close to my natural lip colour although it does look very nude on the picture it's actually slightly more pink, it's a satin texture and I love that, I actually bought this because I had an avon one in 'Frozen rose' which I loved, and then I lost it! And it wasn't in the avon book for AGESS! I purchased this one and a few weeks later I found my avon one in a bag I had used on a night out, and I didn't much like it anymore as it is a shimmer, I'm not a huge fan of lipsticks with little glitter bits in, however I can and do wear shimmer lipsticks.

Speaking of shimmer, my ' I fancy a change' lipstick is the avon shade in Chic. This is slightly darker and clearly has a shimmer look, its like a pinky-brown with a slight hint of red. it's just one of those things, you can't quite figure out why you like it, it's different but it's the same. No one really notices my change of lipstick but, i do. And that counts... Right? 

And finally my night out lipstick, obviously I don't ALWAYS wear this on a night out, but it's my brightest red and I'm telling you now, it smells AMAZING! I don't even know how to describe the smell. It's sweet, but not sickly, it's just yum! It's so smooth, and really Pigmented, and best of all they're so cheap I have this in another shade called toffee which smells just the same. 

I couldn't say whether any of these lipsticks are long lasting as I'm one of those people who reapplies anyway, which maybe isn't a good thing, but it's what I do, like a subconscious decision. I have no reason for it, I think I just enjoy to look of freshly applied lipstick.

April favourites!

Hi guys! I know we are now over a week into May but I thought id post my April favourites, I have SOOO many things that I love so I decided I would make myself choose the 5 products I've been using the most in the month of April. So here they are!

                          

Aqueous cream £2.99 @ Superdrug

I suffer from quite dry skin, and throughout the month of April I was having real trouble with the dryness, usually it manageable and a light moisturiser does a good job, however my skin seemed to be getting really dry and my foundation just wasn't looking good at all! So I decided I would try this! Aqueous cream is safe to use all over the body including the face, you can even use it in the shower as a substitute to soap to cleanse. Well, I have been LOVING this, my skin is so much better than it was eve before my troubles, I don't use as regularly as I was, mostly on a night time and then I'll use my normal moisturiser on a morning as it is quite a thick, heavy moisturiser, but I did the job in about a week and my skin feels so much softer :D

HD brows (Foxy) 4 x 2g - packaging has now changed* and Retails at £25 at HD BROWS (Click here to visit site.) However I got mine in the Latest in Beauty The glamour beauty edit which is now unavailable.

Until about maybe a year ago, I was never much into filling in my eyebrows, but then I got this in my beauty box. And I decided to give it ago as it is seen as a high end product and it was full size so there was no point in wasting! Well I never knew how much difference eyebrows can make, I apply this with the real techniques brow brush and it just looks so natural! I love it.

*The new packaging is now a rectangular shape and also comes with a wax products to seal the powder in place.

Revlon colorstay foundation 110 Ivory £12.49 @ Superdrug

When I first bought this foundation I didn't really like it as it dries very quickly, which doesn't give you much time to blend, however since about 6 months ago when I got my RT buffing brush I can really buff it in before it drys and it looks so flawless, it feels so light that I forget I'm wearing it, I would say its a medium-full coverage. This is also available in a oily/combination formula for those with different skin types.

Simple kind to eye balm £2.66 @ Superdrug

As I said before I had a MAJOR dry skin nightmare and unfortunately my eyelids suffered too, I have quite sensitive eyelids as it is, and one night after I'd been to work, I fell so sleep quite early and hadnt washed my eye makeup off (naughty) and just my luck that I can't get away with this and my eyelids go super dry and flaky, almost like eczema. So I bought this in an emergency as it was sore and unflattering, it took its time to clear it up completely but it is sooo soothing and it took the redness away almost straight after the use so I was quite impressed with the outcome of this and I've used it everyday since I bought it!

L'ORÉAL Micellar Solution £4.99 @ Superdrug

After the huge craze about Bioderma, I was a little excited to see this on the shelves, I had been wanting to try Micellar water for a while but bioderma is quite pricey and I wasnt sure I wanted to spend so much on something that might not be so great. This was actually half price when I bought it so it was £2.49! Now that I've tried it I'd happily pay £4.99. It takes my makeup with absolute ease, and it so gentle and soothing it leaves me with a clean, fresh, feeling face, so no complaints over here!! 

So, they were my April favourites! Hope you enjoyed reading this! Watch out for my next post!
