April Favourites 2017

Hello darlings

I'm really getting back into the swing of blogging, are you guys proud? I've missed it so much! I can't believe its already May, and Isaac is 10 weeks old today! Its so scary how quickly they grow. This month is a mixture of old and new favourites so lets crack o. 
Ever since i got pregnant with Isaac i've regained my motivation for moisturizing my body. Because lets be honest who remembers or has the energy to moisturize their whole body everyday. Not me. I'd read a lot about these Vaseline Mositurzing sprays and thought they looked like a good idea, they are quick and good when you have a newborn baby. I have to admit i still don't do it everyday but i do 3/4 times a week, a lot more than i use to. 

I always have a lip balm on my and in nearly every room of my house, i've got into the vicious cycle that i use lipbalm all the time so my lips are depend on them, if i miss a day or two they go awfully dry! So i'm always on the hunt for lip balms, the Malibu Lip Care in Vanilla, i picked up this lip balm in B&M a week or two ago and i haven't stopped using it. Its so creamy and moisturizing. Its also has SF30 so it will be brilliant for the summer!

I'm really upping my skincare routine recently, look out for my updated skincare routine coming soon! An old favourite is the Vichy Aquilia Serum. With this product you do not need a lot, a pump or two goes a long way! The liquid drys fast, it isn't sticky or tacky so its perfect to apply first thing in the morning and to wear under makeup. It provides a smooth base and it is absorbed into the skin quickly.

I haven't tried many eye shadow primers, i've never had much of a problem with making my eye shadow stay as i have quite dry eyelids. The Essence Eye Shadow Primer is a
great budget eye shadow primer, its only £2.50. Its creamy, it very similar to a concealer, not runny or thin. But once its blended its pretty much invisible so it doesn't change the colour for the eye shadow. Another great budget primer that i ran out of a couple months ago and have been meaning to repurchase is the e.l.f eye shadow primer. 

Mac Lip Liner in Edge to Edge, this is the only lip liner i own from Mac and i am so in love with it! Its a great stand alone colour or great as a base for my lipstick. Its a lovely blue-pinky colour, it goes perfectly with Mac's Brave Lipstick. I really need to purchase some more, does anyone have any suggestions? I've looked a Spice and think its really pretty. 

I'd love to know what are some of your April Favouirtes?
Have you tried any of these products?

April Favourites 2016

Hello darlings!

Miss me? I'm sorry i've been a bit AWOL lately, i've just finished my Degree. These past three years have gone so fast, i can't quite believe its all over, its so sad. But its time for the next chapter of my life, although at this moment in time i am not sure what that will be... but i do know that i will now be back to blogging, i've missed it so much. 

Today's post is my April favourites. 

I know what you're thinking, that blush is a crazy colour! This blush is one of the most gorgeous blushes i own. Its gives the most natural flush to your cheeks if you only use it lightly, but very quickly it can look too much!

This gold brush is gorgeous, They are very similar to Real Technique Gold Metals Brushes, but half the price. The brush is lightweight, doesn't shed, and look more expensive than it is. Its the perfect size for blending eyeshadows and i like to use it for crease colours too. 

I've mentioned this lipstick on my blog a couple times before that is because it is a consistent favourite of mine. Now that its spring and soon will be summer i'm starting to wear these more pinky shades and this one is my favourite. 

Recently i've been really wanted to try more pinky/purpley eye shadows so i considered buying the Naked 3 palette but i didn't know whether they would suit me as pink ey shadows are quite hard to pull off for a lot of people. So instead of pending £40 i decided to spend £4 on this freedom palette to test the colours out. I have to say i'm glad i bought this palette, its such good value for money. The shadows are so pigmented and creamy. But i have to say pink eyeshadows don't suit me the best but i will continue to use this palette, especially the other colours in it and maybe look to buying other ones from the range! 

I'd love to know have you tried any of these products?

April Favourites 2015 | Perfect Fixations

Hello darlings
Today post is my April favourites, this year has gone so fast, soon it will be summer, yay! Apart from i still don't have the perfect bikini body, but its ok i still have my cake! Anyway now on to my favourites. I've been so busy this month with Uni, i've handed in so many essays and special assignments and done so many presentations so there hasn't been that many items/products that have been favourites compared to usual. I haven't worn as much makeup this month, but there are a couple that have been my go to items.
I hope you enjoy :)
First up is a re-discovery, the Naked Basics Palette. Its a great everyday neutral palette, i use to be obsessed with it but i kind of forgot about it as i've really been enjoying shimmery eye shadows this year. Next up is a Essie Nail Polish in 'Not just a petty face' I LOVE this nail polish (A link if you would like to see how it looks on my nails) Its the perfect colour for spring, a really pretty pale pink. The Maybelline The Eraser Eye Concealer, i mentioned this concealer in a favourites a few months back. Its great for under the eyes and its easy to blend. Lastly another Maybelline product this time its the Maybelline Liquid Liner. Liquid liner is my go to look. Its quick and easy. This one especially is good as the pen is thin so you get a thin neat line, which is great for hooded eyes!
The last item isn't a beauty product more of a beauty book. Love, Tanya This is the only Youtuber book i have bought as its more my kind of thing, compared to the Pointless book or Zoella's Girl Online (i'm sure they are great tho!) But i do really want to get Shane's 'I Hate My Selfie' and Dan and Phil's 'The Amazing Book Is Not On Fire' book. Love, Tanya is full of really beautiful images and helpful tips. Its great because i can just open it on a random page and read a section! I picked this up when i was in Scotland at Easter and i've been in love with it ever since.  

I'd love to know what are some of your April favourites?
