Aussie Mega Shampoo
After running out of my previous shampoo but being unable to find it anywhere to repurchase, I decided to give this one a go instead. I have used a couple of products from Aussie before and have been impressed by how well they work, and this shampoo definitely did not disappoint. It thoroughly cleans my hair without leaving any product build up, which is perfect for my naturally oily hair. My hair is left feeling extremely soft and clean afterwards, as well as looking healthy and shiny.
Bourjois Rouge Edition Lipstick- 02 Beige Trench
If you have been following the latest beauty trends then you will have noticed that nude lips are making a huge comeback, thanks to the highly influential Kylie Jenner. I love wearing a nude lip, especially when paired with a stronger eye look, and it is my classic go to makeup look. I recently purchased this lipstick on one of my many trips to Boots as I don't really have anything similar in my collection. It is a pinky-nude hue with slight purple undertones, giving my lips a hint of colour, as well as providing hydration to my lips due to the incredibly moisturising formula. It is a great, easy to wear, everyday nude that is fast becoming my handbag essential.
Maybelline Colour Tattoo Eyeshadow- Permanent Taupe
Another recent purchase of mine is this slightly grey taupe cream eyeshadow from Maybelline. I already own a couple of these eyeshadows and get a lot of wear out of them, so decided to add to my collection. Unlike the other two that I own, which are more shimmery, this one provides a matte finish, which I have never experienced in a cream shadow. I prefer to wear this shadow as a base, and layering a shimmery taupe shade on top, yet it can easily be worn on it's own for a more natural day-to-day look.
MAC 168 Brush
I have spoken about this brush before (here) but I have been loving it too much recently to not include it in this month's favourites. It is the perfect size to lightly apply bronzer to my cheekbones, giving a soft and subtle contoured look to the face. The angled shape means achieving the highly coveted sculpted look is extremely easy. A definite must have for any beauty lover!
Benefit Cheeky Sweet Spot
I have wanted to try some of the blushers and bronzers from Benefit for ages, so I was thrilled when I received this for my birthday last December. Released as part of Benefit's Christmas gift sets last year, the set contains five blushers, a bronzer and a highlighter. This month I have been loving Hoola Bronzer in particular, as it is a great shade for lightly contouring the face on a daily basis, due to the soft matte finish, as well as bringing warmth to the face.
Non- Beauty Favourites
Pretty Little Liars
I can't believe I have only just discovered this as it is now one of my favourite shows of all time! It follows four teenage girls who start receiving chilling messages from a mysterious figure called A after their former leader and friend is found dead. It is extremely eerie and creepy at times, which is not something I am usually in to, yet it is also very addictive. I managed to watch all 5 series in just over a couple of weeks as I was instantly hooked. Plus, Tyler Blackburn/Caleb Rivers = my new man crush!
Easter
Easter is one of my favourite times of the year as the weather is warmer, everything feels fresh and there is a good excuse to eat chocolate over the whole bank holiday weekend. The fact that Easter happens in Spring is an added bonus because Spring is one of my favourite seasons as everything is just so pretty- from the fresh flowers outside to the pastel coloured clothes and glowy makeup. Add in the fact that you are allowed to eat copious amounts of creme eggs and mini eggs and it is the perfect holiday.
What have you been loving this month?
