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. 

Drugstore Haul of Fame

I just thought I will so a quick post to show you guys some of the things that I bought in past couple of weeks... I had been lusting after most of these things for such a long time...Finally I decided to give in.

There were some very good offers last week. First one being the Boots 3 for 2 across all make -up and other one being  buy any 3 for £10 across quite a few hair-care products.

Barry M Jelly Hi-Shine Nail Paints in Lychee, BlueBerry and Pomegranate. These babies have been proving very popular in the bloggerville and I finally surrendered to the call of these small shiny bottles..I have treid Lychee and Blueberry on so-far and I loved them both. My only gripe is that since these are thicker nail polishes, the thin brush makes it difficult to apply.. Let me know if you want a detailed review with swatches.. These are available at boots or Superdrug and are priced at 3.99. I got it when they were on buy 2 get £1 off. I also picked up Barry M Foil effect Gold as I love the silver one that I have for Konad stamping.

Revlon Nearly Naked Make-up : Again another very popular product. I had to get this as I prefer the light to medium coverage foundations and this sounded just right for me. I got it in shade True Beige. I tried it as soon as I got it home and I love the finish. It is really very light and will be perfect for summer.

Real Techniques Brushes : I didn't have a stippling brush and was happy using a foundation brush for foundations.I had 2 brush sets from Real Techniques and was very happy with them, and because of the 3 for 2 offer, I decided to add these to my collection. I am so glad I did. The stippling brush is just amazingly soft. These were roughly  £12 each...

OPI Euro Centrale Minis set : I had 2 favourites from this collection that I wanted to buy. You are such a Budapest and Polka.com. however when I saw the minis set, I thought I would buy this and then buy Polka.com separately. Will post reviews with swatches later..

John Freida 3-day straight spray and Dream Curls styling spray : I don't have curly hair so I probably shouldn't have got the 3 day straight spray. But it works like a charm and my hair was definitely straight even on the 3rd day. I am yet to try the Dream Curls styling spray. These both are i region of  £6-7 . However, because of the offer in Asda, I got it for approx 3.33 which was not a bad deal at all... (The third thing I bought was an Aussie shampoo)

Tangle Teezer. I have been trying to grow my hair long for some time now. Since I have got fine hair, I find it difficult to detangle without a lot of it ending up in the comb. There were so many good reviews of this , that it had to end up in my shopping basket...

Other Bits: Maybelline 24-hour colour tattoo eye-shadow in Pink Gold, Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in True Beige and Rimmel Scandal Eyes Eyeliner in Purple. 

I will do individual posts and reviews of some of these things...so if you would like to know how I get on with something in particular, please drop me a note or mention in the comment.
