April Favourites

Hello everyone!

Here are some of my April favourites.

Sudocrem

This is brilliant for reducing skin redness/irritation, acne and spots! I swear by this product, it helps keep my skin so smooth! My skin is quite sensitive and spot prone so if you have similar skin to me I suggest you try this!

Clinique facial soap

This product is amazing! I have the one designed for oily skin and I have to say it is brilliant! It helps my skin to feel clear and oil-free whilst keeping it hydrated.

Mac Mineralize Skin Finish Natural

This product works really well to set liquid foundation, it lasts a long time and keeps shine away. I purchased mine in Medium/Dark.

Sure Maximum protection

I always find that deodorants don't last very long for me and upto now this is the only product I have found that I can say hand on heart keeps me dry all day! It leaves my underarms feeling very smooth and on top of that it smells great!

Aussie Luscious Long Leave-in Conditioner

I love the Aussie hair range and this product hasn't let me down! I think leave-in condtioners are brilliant. This one is my new favourite, it smells gorgeous and helps to protect my hair from breakage. I have definitely noticed an improvement in the texture of my hair since I started using this.

Maybelline Colossal Volum' Express Mascara (Cat Eyes)

This mascara is perfect! My eyelashes look so long and full after using it. The wand is curved which helps to distribute the product evenly across the eyelashes helping to curl the eyelashes upwards and outwards giving a 'cat eye' effect.

Garnier Body Tonic Firming Lotion

I haven't been using this lotion for very long but I have already noticed that my skin is looking smoother and feeling firmer. The product has a fresh citrus scent which I love!

Revlon nail polish - Fuchsia Fever

This bright pink nail polish is definitely a must have nail colour for spring/summer.

Garnier Hand Repair

This hand cream is definitely for people with very dry skin. The product itself is quite thick and takes a while to dry but for me it works well. The smell of this product might put some people off, it definitely smells like Play-Doh but it doesn't bother me so much - I actually quite like it!

Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer

This is currently my everyday go-to concealer it's very soft on the skin and blends easily without being too cakey or creasing throughout the day.

Revlon Lip Butter - Cupcake

Hello everyone, hope you are well.

I finally got my hands on a Revlon Lip Butter! I used my Boots points that I had been saving and got myself the shade 'Cupcake' and I have to say I LOVE it!

 

The consistancy and texture of the Lip Butter is lovely, it goes on smooth and creamy like a lip balm but has more pigmentation like a lipstick.

I think these are a great alternative to lipsticks, if you don't like wearing lipsticks or don't feel 100% confident wearing them but you want a hint of colour on your lips then I recommend this product to you! It is a subtle way to add a pop of colour for Spring/Summer!

The packaging is cute and pretty and compliments each Lip Butter Shade (Cupcake is a pink colour so the product has a pink cap).

The downside to this product is the price and the amount of product you get. Each Lip Butter costs £7.99 (currently on 3 for 2 at Boots) I think this is a little on the pricey side considering there isn't a great deal of product!

Cupcake is a nice blue based light pink colour, I like how smooth it feels and the slightly glossy finish it has. The picture above shows what one coat of colour looks like on the lips, this product is buildable so the more layers you put on the more vibrant the colour will look!

Pros

• smooth application
• moisturising
• pretty packaging

Cons

• doesn't last long on the lips
• not very pigmented
• small amount of product

Have you tried the Revlon Lip Butters yet? If so recommend a shade you think I should try next!
