My April Favourites

This month I have discovered lots of new beauty products which I really enjoy and would like to recommend to you. I have some makeup favourites, some skin care favourites, some food favourites and also a new fitness favourite.

My makeup favourites:

This month I have really been enjoying benefit’s roller lash. I feel this mascara really lengthens my lashes and with a few coats you can also create volume in your lashes. I picked up the limited edition Elle magazine with the mascara on the front to try it out and I love it so much that despite the fact it is a little more pricey, I’m definitely going to have to invest in the full size!

My other makeup favourite this month is Rimmel apocalypse lip lacquer in 301 galaxy. It is a really beautiful purple lip gloss. It doesn’t dry out my lips when i wear it like some other lip glosses and it is also very easy to apply. There is an indent in the applicator which picks up the product really well so you don’t have to keep pumping the brush, which can make the product go gloopy.

Skin care favourites:

My first skin care product which I love is the Clinique moisture surge facial moisturiser. This product is again quite expensive like the mascara I mentioned, but it makes my skin feel so gorgeous and silky and a small amount goes a long way. This moisturiser makes my skin care routine something I look forward to because of how amazing it makes my skin feel. I also really like the packaging of this product.

My other skin care favourite is tea tree oil. Whenever I get a spot i just apply some of the oil to it and it gets rid of my spots very effectively. Although it is quite a strong-smelling product, the smell isn’t unpleasant and even if it was, I don’t think I would mind because it really does help my skin. It works because of the chemicals in it which kill  bacteria which causes spots when it gets trapped in your spots your pores.

Food favourite:

I have one food to recommend this month. It is a breakfast which is quick, easy and healthy. I have been having pre packaged scotch pancakes topped with yoghurt (in particular the Russian fudge or mango ones from the collective) and granola (you can use any granola but I like tesco finest raspberry and blueberry granola as it contains all good ingredients including acacia honey and a variety of seeds).

My fitness favourite:

My fitness favourite this month has been Zumba. I attend a Zumba club in my local area for an hour a week and I find it is a really enjoyable way to stay healthy whilst being a part of your community and learning some new dance routines. I started Zumba in 2014 and would strongly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a way to keep fit, or just looking for a new hobby to do in their spare time.
