April Favourites

I can't believe how fast April has gone, and that May is here already! 
So throughout May I changed my make-up up a bit to more of a spring look, so I'm going to start with my favourite make-up products.

The first is a lipstick that I mentioned in my Revlon Spring Lipsticks Review, and it is the Revlon Colourburst balm Stain, in the colour 001 Honey Douce.


I really love the colour of this, and it lasts a long time. It also has a slight minty smell. I like that it's a matte finish and the colour is very suited for spring/summer. I find myself reaching for this every morning at the moment.

Next, is the Revlon Cream Blush in the colour 150 Charmed Enchantment. 



I wanted to get a brighter blush for spring time, and after using a powder blush for a while I was curious to try a cream blush, and I'm glad I did. It's easy to blend and it also stays on a long time. You don't need a lot of it to get a good look, hence why it looks like I've barely touched it! I use an angled blush brush and put it above my cheekbones and blend outwards. 

Along with this, I use my Makeup Academy Undress your Skin Shimmer Highlighter powder. 


this is really light weight and just adds a slight shimmer to the areas you want to highlight. I use it on the tops of my cheeks just above my blush and a small amount just below my brow line. They also do this in a lighter colour if you want something a little more subtle.

That's it for make-up products, next up is a hair product and it's the Organix Argan oil of Morocco.


This leaves my hair feeling really great, as I'm sure many of you know Argan Oil is supposed to be really good for your hair and for hair growth. I'm not sure whether it's helped my hair growth yet but it definitely makes my hair feel great. I rub a small amount in my palms and then put it on the ends of my hair. It says on it to put it all through your hair but I avoid my roots as it leaves it feeling greasy. You only need a small amount, so a bottle this size will last a long long time.

My last couple of products are both from The Body Shop, and both Mango scented. I love Mango! and The Body Shop, so it's no surprise I've been loving these products and they are The Body Shop Mango Body Scrub:


and The Body Shop Mango Body Sorbet:


I tend to use these products together, using the Body Scrub in the shower and then the body sorbet when I get out, that way I smell of mango all day long! I love all the body scrubs I've ever tried from The Body Shop and this one is no exception, it smells great and feels great. It also lasts a long time. As for the sorbet, I mentioned in my March Favourites that I was using the Vitamin E Face Sorbet which I love, so when I saw this I couldn't resist buying it. I really like the texture of the sorbet and I find it really moisturising without leaving my skin oily which I get from some creams. The combination of a sorbet and the mango scent is like heaven to me! I can't get enough of mango smelling products, so both these together are perfect. 

If like me you love The Body Shop I really recommend getting the Love Your Body loyalty card. It's £5 to buy or free if you're a student, and you get 10% off every shop as well as £5 off when you get your 4th stamp and £10 when you get your 8th stamp, as well as a £5 gift on your birthday. So you get your money back you pay for the card and more and they occasionally do special events where you get extra discount if you have a loyalty card. I know some products from The Body Shop can be more on the expensive side so this card comes in handy! 

So that's all my favourites from April, hope you find this useful, let me know if you have used any of these products and what you thought of them in the comments.
