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.
