April Beauty Favourites

It soon rolls round, but it's that time of the month again when I round up my favourite beauty products. You can really tell that winter is behind us now as I'm started to opt for the softer lighter shades with my make up, and I'm really loving nudes for spring...but then again, who doesn't love nudes! I haven't bought a massive amount of new make up this month, but what I've have bought, I've totally loved. 

So here are my choices for this month.

April's Stamping Challenge

At the end of last year, I created a Facebook group for everyone in the UK who loves stamping as much as I do. It is a group for people to share manis, ideas and tips, and each week we run a weekly theme for everyone on the group. However; we decided it would make a nice change to have a monthly theme for April instead of the usual weekly themes, so that's how #ukstampersapril was born. The admins decided on 9 prompts between us spread out over the month, and here is how I tackled each prompt with a quick run down of what I used for each mani.

Lippie of the Week - MUA Makeup Academy 'Lilac Belle'

I introduced the 'Lippie of the Week' feature on my blog last week, and as it was a big success, I will be continuing it, so it's time for me to pick again this week. I deliberated this week as there was two I wanted to feature, but as the sun is out today and I'm feeling rather colourful, I went for the brighter of the two.

So here is this week's Lippie of the Week.

Shopping My Stash Part 1 - Hair & Skin Care

As it is getting towards the end of the month, and pay day is still a whole week away, I thought that I would satisfy my need for more beauty products by shopping my existing stash. I have seen this particular activity feature on blogs quite a lot and I always love seeing what unloved products people have lying around, so I thought that I would do the same. I don't know about you, but I seem to gain an awful lot of hair and skin care from either beauty boxes or gift sets, and I always seem to neglect to use them all. I have mounds of shower gels, body lotions and facial moisturisers stacking up in my bathroom that are gathering dust, so it's time to get these used.

Spring Nail Polishes: My Top Picks

I know I'm a little bit late to the party in terms of choosing my top polishes for Spring, but we're technically only a month into Spring so it's all good. I decided to do this post as I've been moving more and more towards the pastel shades recently for my nails, and I'm definitely feeling the brighter colours now that the nights are lighter and the days are warmer. So here are my top 5 nail polishes for Spring.

Lippie of the Week - Essence 'Come Naturally'

I have decided to introduce a new feature on my blog, which is called 'Lippie of the Week'. I'm totally obsessed with all things lips at the moment, anything from lipsticks, to lip lacquers, to lip glosses, so I thought that I would share my obsession with all of you. I will be picking my favourite lip product from the week and doing a short post about it, explaining why I have picked it, and what my overall thoughts of it were. I am aiming to do this post every Sunday so do keep your eye out for it. 

So here is the lippie I have picked this week and why.

Makeup Revolution Vivid Baked Highlighter

I have been wanting to try a new highlighter for a while now as my current MUA one is getting a little bit tired. I'm not as fond of my liquid highlighters as I am of powder ones, so I picked this gorgeous Makeup Revolution Vivid Baked Highlighter up in the current 3 for 2 offer on in Superdug, and here is what I thought of it.

5 Beauty Products For £5

In this current climate, a lot of people are looking to save themselves some money here and there, whether it be on food shopping or beauty products, making your money go that little bit further is so important. As a lot of you may know, I love a good bargain, and I specifically love beauty bargains....especially when they are amazing quality. I have picked out 5 fantastic products that all cost me £1 or less, and hopefully this will make you see just how far you can make a fiver stretch.

April's Pink Parcel

Last month I started my subscription to the Pink Parcel, and after March's amazing box, I have been so excited to receive April's. You can find my review of the March box here, and this will give you all of the basic information about the box that you need to know. So here is what I got this month.

March Beauty Favourites

March is now over and we're officially into spring, so that means it's time for my monthly beauty favourites. I'm sorry for the delay with getting this posted, but I've had a pretty manic start to April and it doesn't look like it will be slowing down anytime soon. Argh! I'll still have time to post lots this month though hopefully. 

I found it hard to pick just 5 favourites as I've used so many new products this month and I've loved them all. I've tried to pick out a good range, so hopefully you all like my choices as much as I do.
