April Favourites

Hey guys! I can't believe it's almost May! This year is going by so quickly.

Also, I'm 21 now and this is kinda how I feel about it .. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbOUKSzXadQ.

(Except, I've turned 21, not 30.)

Ahem, now here are my April favourites..

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Fire & Ice.

If you saw my Collective Haul post, you'll see I mentioned that this has become my new favourite lipstick, so it's no surprise it has ended up in my favourites. It's just a great colour that will compliment pretty much everyone. Revlon just do great lipsticks in my opinion and they're so affordable.

Rimmel 60 Seconds Rita Ora Nail Polish in Pillow Talk.

I've been wearing this pastel blue shade most of April because my sister is expecting twin boys so I felt it was just very appropriate :) I never use to really care for nail polish that wasn't some sort of shade of pink, red or purple, but this shade is just so pretty and I am just obsessed with pastel colours at the moment!

Trilogy Certified Organic Rosehip Oil.

I've always been a bit hesitant of using a face oil because I just instantly think it's going to be greasy and make my face oily even though I have dry skin and I just was just too scared. But over a month ago I picked up this Rosehip Oil in Boots as I'd saw some reviews of it online and thought I'd give it a go. Honestly, I don't think I can live without this now. I put it on every single night after my usual routine and my face just feels and looks in much better condition. It's still not perfect so let's not get ahead of ourselves, but it's just visibly much better. It's helped reduce the scarring on my face so much and my face looks more brighter and awake int he mornings. It doesn't feel greasy at all to me either, it sinks into the skin so nicely. I've used maybe like 1/5th of it, maybe less, and like I said I purchased it over a month ago and have been using it every single night, so I know it's definitely going to last me a while.

BaByliss Curling Wand.

I've had this curling wand for years. Literally years. I think I got it on my 16th or 17th birthday. I use it every now and again when I'm going out or just have a bit of spare time to look pretty. It's so cheap and does the job I want it to perfectly, I really love it! You can choose whether you want tighter or loser curls and if you want more volume you can do it from the root. This is my result after I do lose curls, brush them out and add a bit of hairspray :)

Topshop Viscose V-Neck Tee in White.

I picked up this V-Neck and featured it in my most recent collective haul and I love it so much! It's perfect to throw on with a pair of jeans and leather jacket. It's so flattering and is so easy to dress up or down and doesn't shrink in the wash. Finally! Right after this I'm gonna go down to Topshop to stock up.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Baker Ladies Watch.

This was one of my presents for my birthday and I love it so much. I wanted a Marc Jacobs watch for so long so when my mum offered to buy me one for my birthday I wanted it to be perfect. I chose from 3 different ones and this is what I got. I like it because its gold and really wanted a gold one, but it's also very elegant looking at the same time and doesn't look too much.

Argent Silver Heart Locket.

This was also a birthday present from my older sister and her other half. I chose this also and my family know how picky I can be! Lol. I just wanted something simple and pretty and it's exactly what it is. She wanted to get it engraved as it was my 21st so of the front it just has 21 as it was too small to get anything else on there. I wear it all the time now!

Favourite songs..
Lana Del Rey - West Coast

Iggy Azalea - Fancy

Favourite Film..
The Other Woman - Saw this in the cinema recently with my friend Antonia. We loved it! Such a good chick flick!

Collective Haul

Hey guys! Hope you've all had a lovely Easter. Today, I'm doing a collective

haul because apparently I can't seem to stop spending my money.. On the upside,

it was my birthday last Thursday and I got a lot of lovely gifts which I will

do a post on soon! 

Matalan Renaissance Style Framed Mirror.

I'm slowly re-decorating my room and one thing I really wanted was a mirror to go on my desk. I didn't

want anything too big or fancy, just something that fits on it nicely and didn't cost too much. I came

across this one from Matalan as I had a 20% off voucher at the time which put it down to £20 from

£25 so I was definitely please about that! It goes so nicely with the décor of my room and fits

perfectly on my desk.

Rimmel 60 Seconds Rita Ora Nail Polish in Lose Your Lingerie, Pillow Talk & Breakfast in Bed.

I really wanted some pastel nail polishes for the Spring/Summer and as soon as I saw the advert for

these I was in Boots checking out the whole collection. The whole of it is lovely but what I really

wanted and love is the lighter, pastel shades. They're so beautiful! I've had Rimmel 60 Second nail

polishes before and they don't exactly dry in 60 seconds, but they do dry a lot quicker than most

nail polishes, so I can get past that!

Herbal Essences Classic Silk n Shine Shampoo & Conditioner.

I needed some more shampoo and conditioner and I do love this one. It's cheap and smells amazing!

And let's face it, who doesn't love the original Herbal Essences?!

Collection Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear Concealer in Light.

My usual concealer. You know I love it! I literally buy one every time I go into Boots/Superdrug

because I'm afraid of running out!

Revlon PhotoReady Foundation in Shell.

This is also a product I already use on a daily basis. It's not the cheapest, but you girls know

how hard it is to find a good foundation that is actually your shade.

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Pink in the Afternoon & Fire & Ice.

I love Revlon Lipsticks. They're just amazing shades and so pigmented! Pink in the Afternoon is

just a pretty pinkish nude shade, which is what I've been looking for because they're so easy to

wear and just pop on. The colour I'm really excited about though, is Fire & Ice. I'm a big fan of red

lipsticks and I'm actually starting to gather a little collection of them. It's a bright red, which is

perfect for Spring/Summer. I actually think this is my new favourite lipstick shade, can't believe

I didn't find it sooner!

Topshop Lipstick in Petal.

Another nude lipstick I picked up recently was this one from Topshop. I'm not a massive fan of nude

lipsticks on myself but I do like this one. I have to be quite picky with nude lipsticks as I've got quite

light skin already, so most nudes on me just look like that thing everyone use to do in school, where

they put foundation on their lips as well, so your lips just blended in with your face. Not very flattering.

But yeah, I like this one! It has a bit of a pinkish tone to it and is very creamy.

H&M Sports Bra in Grey.

So, I don't really work out. I just keep buying more work out things in hopes that it'll motivate me

to work out. So far, there's been no working out but now Summer is coming, I don't think I have a

choice! I thought this sports bra was such a lovely colour and I've got tons of H&M workout

clothes and it's all so comfortable and stylish at such a good price. Now I need to start working out..

Topshop Vicscose V Neck Tee in White & Grey.

Everyone should have good basic tee's in their wardrobe. Men or women. I love a good basic white

tee but after one wash they just aren't the same. Recently I got told that Topshop basic Tee's are

very good quality and don't shrink like the rest of mind have, so I've purchased a few v-necks which

are so comfy and flattering. Now I just need to test them out in the wash and hope they don't shrink.

I'll be stocking up if they don't! Will keep you updated!

TK Maxx Acrylic Lipstick Holder (Similar Here).

I already have one of these but seeing as I'm building up my lipstick collection I just thought,

'why not get another one?' So I did! It's around £7 in TK Maxx but you can get them on places like

Amazon and Ebay. Just a very pretty way to display all of you favourite lipsticks.

Lush Mask of Maganaminty 125g.

Love love love this face mask. I just ran out of it so I picked up some more because it's so amazing!

It's just the perfect mask for when you're skin is acting up and your breaking out. Plus, I got told by

the guy in Lush that soon they're bringing out a new one but it's going to have more honey in it,

so it won't be as drying on the face, yay! Not sure when though, It's might even already be out. Not sure.

I definitely want it though!

Frozen DVD.

Everyone's seen Frozen right? If not, why?! It's so good and so funny an the songs are so damn catchy.
