April Favourites| Beauty,Accessories+Food

Another month has vanished and we are at that time again when we talk about monthly favourites! This month I have been loving mainly beauty products. 

- BarryM Gelly Spring Colours|| These have made a few appearances on my blog this month and I doubt it will be the last time you see them. The formula of these polishes are incredible with out a doubt, and so there really isn't much to say. Apart from the fact that these colours are perfect for any skin tone, they are so long lasting and great if you're going away and want something to last. 

- Revlon Matte Balms|| Ooh la la. These matte formula's from Revlon are amazing, they are super pigmented, last nearly all day on your lips and are surprisingly moisturising even though they are matte. The two shades I own and have been loving are Sultry and Elusive! 

- Kate Moss Lipsticks|| Two new additions to my collection this month, and I love them. I have heard so many people rave about the formula of Rimmel lipsticks, especially the Kate Moss ones and I just had to try them myself. Let me tell you, they are great! And smell amazing too. 

- MAC Dupe Brushes|| I did a full post on these here. These are amazing to do different eye looks with and the possibilities of using them are endless! Also great for travelling as you don't have to take millions of different eye brushes with you! If real MAC brushes are just as good as these beauties then no wonder everyone loves them. 

- Rimmel Powder|| Yes, that is right I fell for another hyped up product and this time I fell in love with it. This is the exact powder that I have been looking for and searching for. The reason I never tried it is because I didn't think it would be as good as it seems, but it is and lasts all day without making my skin look oily. 

- Garnier Micellar Water|| A new skincare staple. I love this because it does exactly what it says on the bottle unlike the L'oreal one. It cleans my makeup off straight away without the need to go back again with another cotton pad. 

- Maybelline Under eye concealer|| Something I never used to often wear is concealer under my eyes, and since having this I look back on days that I didn't really upset. This tube of magic covers all the darkness and shadow that I have under my eyes and is great to quickly do in the morning.

-MK Watch|| Of course this had to be included! I love this watch to death and now wear it every single day without fail, my arm feels odd when I don't wear it because it is something that I love. 

Primark Ring|| This uber cute flower ring was featured in my last OOTD post and I love how simple yet pretty it is. The colour is wonderful for the spring time and goes with the watch as a pair. 

Then on to food, which I fall in love with all the time and if you read my 'This Week I...' posts then you will now that over the pas month I have loved a lot of food!

My mum found some macaroons when she went food shopping and I literally screamed and jumped on her when she bought them home. I tried them last year at an afternoon tea and ever since have been searching everywhere to find them because they can be rather expensive. If you know of anywhere to buy them at a reasonable price then please let me know!

Bourjois Magic Nail Polish Remover|| Review+Demo

This Magic Nail Polish Remover has been a favourite of many people for quite some time now, and I didn't really know what all the hype was about until now. This thing is amazing, and has changed the way I now remove my nail polish. You have all probably heard what it does and why it is so great, so I will just tell you briefly. Basically, all you have to do is put your finger inside the bottle, wiggle it around and then magically it takes off any polish you have on your nails! 

The sponge inside is soaked with remover, so you don't have to go through a million cotton pads when removing nail polish. I find that it doesn't work as well for glitter, even though it does help slightly with the removal. 

Here are the before and after shots! You can see that all the polish has been removed from my fingers and it took me less than five minutes in total! Amazing!

The Essentials|| A Nail Addict

Yes. That is right. I am a nail addict and I will openly admit to it! It has been something that I have lived with for a few years now, and today's post is what I think every nail addict/lover should have!

The Tools

Avon Machine// This machine is the best thing in my life, my grandma bought me this at Christmas from Avon I believe and I love all the nifty little things it can do! They use a similar machine to this is the nail salons, but this is a cheaper alternative. 

Nail File*// Well isn't this a obvious one! I love the Healthy Nails one at the moment because it is great to get the exact shape you want. You can read a full review here. 

Buffer// These cuboid buffers are great to get that smooth nail surface, that makes applying your nail polish easier as you are getting rid of any bumps and the uneven surface.

Orange Stick+Cuticle Cream// These two things work together, by massaging your cuticles and pushing them back as often as you can, you are really helping your nails with growing in length and looks much better when they aren't there.

Nail Scissors// These ones from Model's Own are my favourite because they are shaped in such a way that it makes it easier to cut your finger!

The In-between Step!

This is what I like to call the 'in between' step because it is the optional step.

Nail Wheels// I love these! They are from Amazon, and cost nearly nothing as well as coming in packs of 10. They are great to test out nail colours before you paint them on your nails to see whether you like them or not. 

Cuticle Oil// Even though cuticle oil is great for your nails, I don't think it is the most needed step because your nails can live without it and you can use alternatives like a cream, or even plain olive oil!

The Finale! 

Elegant Touch Spray// Full Review Here This IS BLOOD AMAZING! I do apologise for the caps and my language, but this spray is my life saver and you will be converted when you try it! I love using it because it dries my nails uber quickly and I can do anything after painting them! 

Remover// I have only recently discovered this product and will have a review up in a few days. But this pot of remover is amazing. All you have to do is put your finger in the pot, move it around a little and then viola! Your polish has disappeared! 

Top Coat// Everyone has their own preference when it comes to top coats, but for me I like one that shiny and makes my nails look really gel like and lasts a long time. This one is from Nails Inc and I love it because it lasts a long time and the formula is grrreat!

What are your essentials? 

Tanya Burr Lipgloss in Afternoon Tea| Reveiw+Swatches

 

Tanya Burr Lip gloss in Afternoon Tea

Where to buy - FeelUnique

Every since Tanya Burr announced her lip gloss and nail varnish line with Eye Candy, I wanted to get my hands on the products as soon as I could. It look me four months since the launch because I was waiting until I knew exactly what I wanted and how many ect. 

This is the Tanya Burr Lipgloss in 'Afternoon Tea' my most desired choice because of the name and the colour - nearly there pinky nude. Of course. The formula is super moisturising and doesn't feel sticky like many other lip glosses these days are (hint hint MUA!)  The colour of the lip gloss is exactly what you see on the tube and on the lips its the colour you expect it to be. I am looking forward to trying the darker shades to see the colour pay off on them and what they look like on on, especially Vampire Kiss. 

Tanya's range is available from so many retailers now and for only £6.99 you cannot go wrong! Its so reasonably priced and when there are offer codes going round you can't help yourself but buy more than one like I did! 

The applicator is a foot, if that even exists and really packs on the colour. Its flat and collects so much product that I feel the need to rub the sides as I like to apply a little at a time. Nevertheless, it still goes on well and applies evenly. It also smells really delicious and sweet, I can get a hit of vanilla but then again my smell senses isn't the greatest. 

Overall, I am so happy I took the plunge and bought this shade along with 'Picnic in the Park' which you will see a review of soon as soon as I start using it more often. I have been trialling this particular one for weeks to see its full potential. I love wearing it on its own as well as over other nude shades such as Kate Moss for Rimmel in 08. My go to lip combo at the moment. 

Have you tried the line, and what are your favourite shades? Ooh and should I get the nail varnish as well?!
