April Favourites 2013

Waaah it's May?! How? When?! This year is just whizzing past!

There are a few products I have been loving this month and have collected them together to show you! 

April 2013 Favorites!

Jo Malone Lime, Basil & Mandarin 

I LOVE this scent! I know a lot of people think it's a bit too much when they smell it in the shop but about half an hour after you spritz it on it settles down to a fresh citrusy scent. This was a favourite last month and I think it will be a Summer favourite. I'm wearing it nearly as much as my flowerbomb which I wear all year so it's nice to have a change. 

Nars Andy Warhol Self Portrait 2 (LIMITED EDITION)

I bought the Nars Palette last December and have been reluctant to use it because it is so beautiful but I couldn't stand to have it not being shown the love it deserves any longer! I think it's great for everyday: the grey all over the lid, the black lightly smudged into the outer corner and the light silvery grey on the inner corner. LOVE THIS! It's just a shame it doesn't look so beautiful anymore.

Topshop Liner & Real Techniques Fine Liner Brush

I bought this eyeliner and brush really recently so a bit of a cheat but it has totally changed my eyeliner. I get it right every time, I think this is down to the marvelous brush!! The eyeliner isn't great, it transfers onto my lids towards the end of the day and could be blacker but it is so much better than the liquid eyeliner I was using before! I want to try a Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner next I think.

Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara 

After declaring myself a one mascara woman I caved and have been trying loads again! Bad! This is AMAZING though! The wand is small and thin so you can get all the little hairs and it coats all the hairs in just one swipe! Amazing. (I know the photo is blurry but by this stage I was about to chuck the camera out of the window!)

Rimmel Apocolips in 'Stella'

Next up is the Apocolips in Stella which I love and is a great choice if you want an easy, everyday bright lip. It's so cheap and so easy to wear. I would recommend this to everyone for Spring/Summer, they are so beautiful.

Topshop Brows

When I first heard Topshop were going to be doing eyebrow pencils I got VERY excited (I have an extremely boring life) and when I saw a picture of it and it had a spooly on the end I got even more excited! I bought one and I love it! I convinced my sister and Hollie to buy one too. I like it because it's quite hard (minds out of the gutters) so lasts all day without smudging. It's really cheap too!

Real Techniques Expert Face Brush

Another brush to add to the family, this is like the buffing brush my smaller and an easier shape to work foundation into the skin. I think it's my new favourite brush for foundation. Not much else to say really, it's just amazing!!

Bow Bobbles

I bought these from Accessorize (I think..) about 6 weeks ago and I love them (particularly the rose gold one). I have been wearing my hair in a high ponytail with one of these and it looks really sweet. A simple way of making it look like I have actually made an effort! Yay!

Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in 'Boy' 

I bought this last year and it saves me when I need a simple, easy lipstick. It's my alternative to lipgloss (because I don't get along with lipgloss at all) and I really love it in Spring/Summer. It's brilliant. Not cheap but it has lasted ages!  

Boy Swatch

Monthly Favourites March 2013

Being Human; Diptyque Baies; Jo Malone Lime, Basil & Mandarin; Maybelline The Falsies Mascara; Revlon Lip Butter; Soap & Glory Lid Stuff; Boots Botanics Eye Cream; Nars Blush; Nars Bronzer

Boots Botanics 'Radiant Youth' Eye Cream (£6.99).  This month the skin around my eyes has been pretty dry so I've been using this to try and combat it. I moisturise daily but only use eye cream every other day as my eyelids can get pretty oily but have upped it to daily this month and it's done wonders. I really recommend this as it's quite light but really moisturising.   

Diptyque Baies Mini Candle (£20). I'm a big candle fan, I love sitting in my room with a good movie on and a candle burning. I've lusted after a Diptyque candle for quite a long time and finally settled on Baies. It's a mixture of rose and blackcurrent leaves and just gorgeous. I'm not normally a fan of rose scents but this one isn't over powering and calmed by the blackcurrent leaves. I have my eye on Viollete next - it smells like parma violets! 

Jo Malone Lime Basil & Mandarin (£76). Jo Malone's signature scent - a mix of peppery basil which cuts through the sharp, summery smell of limes. I got this for Christmas but have been wearing it lots this month. A perfect fragrance for Spring/Summer and a lovely alternative to Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb which is my normal everyday scent.   

Nars Blush in Orgasm (£21.50). This is a one of those products that gets a lot of coverage in the blogosphere and it is totally justified. It's bright pink, with a lot of gold shimmer running though it. If you use this you really don't need highlighter so it is a one stop blush - great for days when you've slept it! Nars blushes are great quality and worth every penny! I highly recommend! 

Nars Bronzer in Laguna (£24). Another renowned product in the beauty world and rightly so! I had a bit of fake tan on for half of this month and I never put it on my face so relied on this to bronze me up a bit. I use this daily for contour and it is definitely a holy grail item for me! Everyone needs one of these in their make up bags! 

Maybelline The Falsies Flared (£7.99). After singing the praises of Rimmel Extra wow mascara here I went totally back to my mascara whore ways and bought this and I am so glad I did! It has a curved, bristle brush and is very black. You can build it up and up without it going clumpy at all! It is drying up a tad so I am going to try the Black Drama one next.

Soap & Glory Lid Stuff in What's Nude (£10). I bought this ages ago and go through phases of loving it. All the shades are matte bar one which has a light shimmer. It's great for everyday wear and really easy to apply. The eyeshadows are so soft and really pigmented.  I think this is a total bargain as the quality is on a par with mac and this quad would cost over £40 there! The packaging is great too as it is super compact!

Revlon Lip Butter in Sweet Tart (£7.99). Everyone and their Granny should have one of these. This shade is Sweet Tart and is a really soft pink (look up for it popping up in a post next week!). Perfect for Spring, light but pigmented, nourishing but looks nice - it's perfect! I bought Tutti-Frutti today which is an orange shade and I think would be great for the coming months! All round perfect product which is worth every penny! 

Being Human. Being Human is my favourite show ever. (Aside from perhaps Doctor Who but who doesn't love Doctor Who?!). This programme (in case you don't know) is about a werewolf, a vampire and a ghost living together in a house and trying to 'be human' - clever huh? It is nothing like twilight however, it is truly different to anything in the supernatural drama genre. It has one of my favourite actors in it, Russell Tovey, and I would recommend it to anyone! There is an American version but I have no interest in it at all, after seeing the way they 're-imagined' Life On Mars I have steered clear of American versions of British shows! American tv shows are great, British tv shows are great and lets leave it at that! (Don't even get me started on Skins!!). The 5th series of Being Human ended a couple of weeks ago and was the last ever series.I'm not going to lie, I cried at the end. Anyway I bought series 1-4 boxset about a month ago and have pre-ordered the 5th. If you are in the market for a new tv show to get your teeth into I can't recommend this more! It has everything - tears, laughs, heart stopping moments and very hot vampires and werewolves! GO BUY IT NOW! 

That's all my monthly favourites for March. This has taken me ages to write because I just signed up for netflix and have Ashes to Ashes open on one tab and blogger in the other! Reminded slightly of revising for my exams at school! Such a good student *ahem*! We all did it!

What's your favourites for this month? What's you favourite TV show?
