April Favourites



It is time to share my April favourites with you guys. April is definitely one of my favourite times of the year. There are daffodils all around... Cherry blossoms blooming ....Sun starts staying around for much longer and longer retail hours with daylight savings...





Origins Super Spot Remover (here)
What can I say about this product that has not already been said like a million times? Let me just say that this is definitely worth the hype. I suffer from breakouts (just before that time of the month) and I have tried a few spot removers...but nothing comes close to this. 10 ml for approx  £13 might seem a little steep, but I have been using it quite often in last month and I am yet to see a noticeable reduction in quantity in the bottle...the size of my pimples however reduces drastically in size (small ones disappear) in 2 days...You just need to dab it on your spot..and you can immediately feel it drying the skin...and you can easily apply your make-up on top in about a couple of minutes. I have had a particularly bad week in terms of spots and this product has been my saviour.

Real Techniques Stippling Brush(here)
I decided to go for this stippling brush, after reading so many good reviews. After using this, I don't think I will ever go back to using a foundation brush for applying a foundation. The finish with this brush was flawless, it was quick and the bristles are so soft. Plus, this is cruelty- free. 




Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer(here)

So while my spot remover was fighting my spots, this helped me conceal those things. Again...another beauty blogger favourite and I can now see why. The consistency is amazingly smooth and the coverage is unbelievably nice. It blends very easily and does not feel heavy or look cakey on the skin. It stays put for me all day (can't say if it will last 16 hours or not though). The only problem is the packaging, or rather the print on the package which rubs off.

Revlon Lip Butter in Berry Smoothie(here)
These lip butters have helped me transition back from lip glosses. this is a lovely pink colour , perfect for everyday wear and the formula well is just as good as other revlon lip butters...This has now become my current favourite.

Soap & Glory Heel Genius(here)
My feet have been neglected off-late mainly due to laziness. So I decided to start moisturising my feet every night. I spotted this in boots a month or so ago and thought it is not a bad price for the size and I was not disappointed. The first thing that hit me when I opened this was the smell. It has a nice, fresh, fruity,minty smell. The consistency is also just right. Not too thick and not too thin.
