Monthly Favourites | April
8:33 PM
It's that time of the month (not what you're thinking), I'm talking about beauty favourites. On the above picture you can see what products I've been loving for the month of April and I'll talk a bit more about them in this post so keep on reading if you're interested in seeing which products I've been using lately.
- Naked 3 palette: this is by far the most used product of April. I've been using the neutral shade nooner almost daily and then adding mascara, if I decide to leave out the shadow that day then I will instead go for a bit of a wing on the outer corners of my eyes. Also the shade blackheart is another favourite of mine to use for anytime I want to smoke out my eyes.
- The golden leaf earrings are from Zara and I wore them quite a lot, they are perfect for a night outfit and make any outfit look more put together. I just pray they don't rust up too early on because of too much usage.
- MAC Pro longwear blush in stubborn - is a rich pink powder blush that can take a wrong turn very quickly when applied too heavily, it's not easily blended and you'd have to do quite a bit of circling and stroking to get the colour even. A little goes a long way and please avoid looking like a punch bag.
- O.P.I Lost my bikini in Molokini: a gorgeous purple shade that's been a favourite for very long and I can assure you that this is not it's first appearance on the blog. You can read more about it here.
- Rimmel London 853 Pillow Talk is another easy to use light blue shade polish, it's from their 60 seconds dry line. It's easy to apply and dries very quickly, it's a great product to use on the run because you won't have to worry too much about smudging your newly painted nails.
- L.A Girl HD concealer: this product was featured in the last favourites as well, I feel it does the job but later on during the day I feel like my impurities start appearing once again, it could also be that I'm doing something wrong? If you've got any tips please do leave them below.
- Lavender oil - I always rub some lavender oil around by neck and nose before bed, sometimes even my pillows. I find that it helps me rest peacefully and usually I end up sleeping like a baby. I highly recommend trying some essential oils of your choice to help with sleeping.
- Revolution Ultra Velour lip cream is like the only lip-gloss-type of lip product I own, I'm just not a fan of things sticking to my lips. My way of wearing this lip cream is by adding it on top of my lipsticks to give them more shine.
- MAC matte Taupe lipstick is bae. I was actually gifted it and it's been great. I've used it quite a lot along with Viva Glam 3. I have Ruby Woo on my wishlist...
- RT setting brush / Naked 2 duo brush / RT detailer brush. These are the brushes I've been using lately, the setting brush I mostly use for highlighting because of it's soft bristles, the naked 2 brush is overall a comfortable tool to have on a daily and the detailer brush I mostly use for concealer or to highlight my eyebrows.
I also just wanted to thank you guys for the love on my recent blog posts, it means a lot.
Hopefully you enjoyed this post just as much.

Hey luv. I have had my NAKED 3 palette for nearly two years now and its still growing strong. I just love the fact that the colours are suitable for daytime glam and night-time sultry look. Hence why it remains my favourite.x

Totally agree with you on that, no matter how much I use the shadows, I still can't seem to hit pan on even one!
DeleteI should get on the Naked train haha, everybody seems to love it, I don't know why I haven't gotten it yet. But I finally got the LA Girl concealer so I'll see how it works on me. Also that blush color is gorgeous and you should def get Ruby Woo you won't regret it!!
