April Favourites

Afternoon everyone, two posts in less than 24 hours?! Maybe it's a sign of things to come?
Anyway, April's over and we're into May. May; the month of exams, study leave and the anticipation of no more school. Oh, and my April Favourites too. Which seem a bit eye heavy in the beauty department...

 

 
Okay, so, first  in my favourites are my beauty bits. On the left I have my Estee Lauder Signature Hydra Lustre Lipstick in 33 Apricot Sun. I'm sure anyone living in England is aware that the sun is finally starting to make an appearance. I find this lipstick is so lovely for that mid spring to summer stage as it's not a bright, bright coral yet it is a lovely colour for when the sun is out.
Next I have been loving just sweeping my Maybelline 24hr Colour Tattoo in On and On Bronze - I find this is perfect for those lazy days where you really can't be bothered with loads of make up and just want a small amount of colour on the lid.
Towards the front we have my Seventeen Smoulder Gel Eyeliner; I've been doing the classic winged eyeliner look now for over a year and I have always used a black felt tip liner (typically the Collection 24hr Felt Tip Liner one). I wanted to branch out in products to achieve this look with and after discovering I fail MISERABLY at liquid liner - I opted for trying a gel one out. I love this as it lasts so long and with felt tip liners they can loose their blackness throughout the day where as this does not! If you're looking for a cheap black gel liner to try out - at £3.99 you can't go wrong!
Finally, I have my favourite eye combo for the moment - it's very subtle but is something I've really been loving! I put the No7 eyeshadow in 45 Wheatsheaf all over the lid and then add my MAC eyeshadow in Honesty across the top part of my eye and into the crease a bit. This look doesn't create much depth but it makes it lovely for a day time look.

 
My favourite candle of the month is the Wild Passion Fruit by Yankee Candle. Its a very fresh fruity sent. I got this in a duo along with Pink Dragon Fruit and I have been burning this one constantly!
 
 
I've been loving Catching Fire in the Hunger Games trilogy this month which I am reading on my Kobo. I got this for Christmas and I have been using it non-stop. I keep it in my Cath Kidston sleeve which you can see in the back ground.
Finally, for this month I have loved the TV series Pretty Little Liars - I started watching it at the end of March and finished it by about mid April - which is three seasons worth!
 
I hope you've enjoyed this post
