April 2017 Beauty Favourites

Another month gone, another selection of beauty favourites! This past month I have been loving so many products but these are the ones I have been using the most. I bought so much makeup in April, you'll see the haul tomorrow that I am now on a 30 day spending ban so I can't wait to see what products I will love next month, hopefully some forgotten gems!

Tangle Angel Wow White Hair Brush

Finding a good hair brush that can actually detangle my hair without pulling it all out is a bit of a struggle. And having such long and thick hair I can't often find hair brushes that even work with my hair. I have been wanting to try out one of these brushes for the longest time and a few weeks ago one arrived and I have been loving it!

Three Sheet Masks to Try

Sheet masks are my favourite skin pampering product as they are mess and hassle free! These three I have been loving lately and one surprised me so much, I can't wait to get another one to use it again! So many brands have sheet masks now and so many affordable ones too so you don't have to splash the cash to give your skin a treat.

Favourite Lip Products for Spring

Lip products are my obsession, I most own over a hundred and I can never stop myself buying more. Even though I usually go for the same type of shade, different formulas and finishes are always my justification. This selection of products are what I am going to be using the most this season and if you are looking for a new lip product to purchase, I definitely have one for you!

L'Oreal Miss Baby Roll Mascara

I love trying out new mascara's and they are one of the few products that I always like to shop on the high street for. I loved the Miss Manga mascara and as soon as I saw the wand of this mascara, I was really intrigued to see how it would work with my lashes.

Elizabeth Arden Tropical Escape Collection

I love Elizabeth Arden's products and the new Tropical Escape looked right up my street. This collection is going to give you a gorgeous bronzed look, I have two out of three products from the collection and I have been really enjoying them. As I am quite pale I always love trying out new bronzers and I have found a new favourite!

Top Makeup Picks from Just My Look

I have been loving so many products from Milani and La Girl recently so I couldn't wait to try out a few more. Just My Look has such a good selection of beauty products and stocks quite a few of my favourites, I love that they offer free delivery on all orders too, I can't stand paying for delivery- when shopping online!

Teeth Whitening with White Wash

Something I am always trying to improve is my teeth, I have been on a quest for years to get the whitest teeth as possible and I have tried so many tooth whitening products. A few bloggers had been loving these products so I thought I would give them a try too and I haven't been disappointed!

Pixie Lott Paint Glitter Sprays // Festival Hair

With festival season right around the corner, its time to get your outfits, hair and makeup sorted! Whenever I have gone to festivals I have the best intentions but always end up looking a hot mess but with these hair sprays - my hair is going to look fantastic if I do say so myself!

Tropic Body Washes

I have enough shower gel to open a shop yet I can't stop getting any more! Tropic is a fairly new brand to me and while I am currently testing out one of their skincare products, I have been loving these shower gels!

Jeffree Star Skin Frosts (+ Swatches)

Love him or hate him, you can't get much better than his Skin Frost highlighters. I have been on such a highlighter kick lately and while I have bought far too many than I want to admit, I always go back to Jeffree's Skin Frosts. When I got my first skin frost, I wasn't that impressed but now that I have found the best brushes to use with them, I have never been so impressed with a highlighter.

Getting Rid of Beauty Clutter & Getting Organised #AD

If your beauty products are starting to stack up, and it’s even becoming a struggle to dig out what you’re looking for, Pebble Grey offer you some tips to keep all your products neatly organised and ready for exactly when you need them.

Beauty Blender All About Face Collection

I am such a big Beauty Blender fan, I have gone through so many of them and if you were ever doubting if they were worth the £16, they 100% are! This kit is the perfect set to get you stocked up on beauty blenders and includes three different sizes, each with a different use as well as a travel size of the BlenderCleanser Solid.

Buxom Full-On Lip Polish in Sophia

I can't tell you how happy I am that Buxom is now being sold at Debenhams! I have been wanting to try out the brand for years and the day they launched, I ordered a lip gloss by 10 am and I have been obsessed with it ever since. I love lip glosses and I was on the lookout for a replacement for the Dior Lip Maximiser as I had run out of it and this hasn't left my lips.

Orla Kiely Flower Stripe Hanging Wash Bag

I love having huge makeup/wash bags so that I can take so much makeup away with me. Most of the time I never even use it all but I like to have options, is anyone else like this? I have had makeup bags from Orla Kiely in the past and I have always been impressed so I couldn't wait to fill up this gorgeous wash bag.

Ted Baker Beach Cover Up

While I am not going on holiday for a few more months, I have already got in holiday shopping mode and as the weather gets warmer in the UK, I know I will also get some use out of everything before my holiday.

Ted Baker Entangled Enchantment Saraya Sun Dress

Three Dry Shampoos to Try

I never used to use dry shampoo as I usually wash my hair every day but lately, I have been a little lazy! These three dry shampoos are what I have been alternating between and I do have a favourite out of them but there is one for very price point whether you are looking to splurge or are on a budget!

KISS Lash Couture Faux Mink Lashes

I love trying out new eyelashes and experimenting with different styles and these are perfect to do so with as they are on the more affordable side. I have always loved the KISS nails so I was excited to try out the false lashes and see if I love them as much as I love the nails.

Soap and Glory Gift with Purchase

Things like this always make me want to go out and spend money, I can't never resist a gift with purchase, especially when it comes to makeup! I am such a big Soap and Glory fan and this offer can't be missed, it is such a great deal as you can bag three full sized products for free and who doesn't love free makeup?!

Milani Makeup at Beauty Base

I had only tried a couple of products from Milani until recently and three of these are brand new to me and I can't believe I hadn't tried them sooner! Milani is a much hyped and love brand in the US and is finally available in the UK at Beauty Base. I remember always heading to Beauty Base whenever I went to Westfield so I am so happy that they now stock one of my new favourite brands.

Dr Hauschka First Impressions

I had never tried this brand until recently and I have been loving these two products, they have really impressed me with how pigmented they are! All of the products from the brand are available from Feel Unique so they are easily accessible and they often have a 10% off discount code available so you can save a little bit of money.

Vichy Skincare & Makeup Favourites

I love Vichy products, I don't think I have found a product yet that I don't like! My skin can be a little tricky as sometimes it can react badly to a product I have been using for months or it can turn a little sensitive but I can always trust Vichy with my skin! These are my favourite products from Vichy that I have tried so far and would recommend if you haven't tried them before.

New Makeup on Trial

I never need an excuse to buy new makeup but if you do, Spring has arrived so it's time to get some new products to play around with! I have been buying far too much makeup recently and these are some of the new products I have been putting to the test. There is something for every budget too as I have products from £2.50 to £25 I am trying.

Mario Badescu Facial Sprays

I am obsessed with makeup setting sprays and facial sprays in general, I can't get enough of them and they are a must have product in my daily routine! I had been wanting to try the Mario Badescu Facial Spray for almost a year and a few months ago I finally ordered it after listening to Olivia Jade rave about it and I wish I got my hands on it sooner!

Ben Nye Banana Powder

This is a product that I have wanted to try for years but never got round to purchasing so I was so excited when it arrived to finally give it a try! This is a much hyped and raved about powder and used on celebrities around the globe, it was brought to my attention when it was used on Kim Kardashian many years ago, I have always loved her makeup!

NoMakeNoLife Vol. 2 Unboxing // Japanese Beauty Box

If you saw my first post about this box, you will know how much of a big fan I was! You can read all about the first NoMakeNoLife box - HERE. This is a fairly new box subscription and it is based out of Japan and each both you receive a box packed full of Japanese beauty products. This month is very skincare focused which I am happy about as I have been wanting to try out their skincare for a while now!

OSMO Colour Save Hair Care Range

I had never tried or heard of OSMO hair products until a few weeks ago and I have been really enjoying using them and had such a great experience from them! As someone who dyes their hair every month or two, I need a good selection of products to help prevent my hair colour from fading and these three are fantastic.

Shopping My Makeup Collection

I will be the first one to admit, I have far too much makeup for one person but you can't choose your loves! I usually stick to the same makeup every day but I decided it was time to have a little stop around my collection. I have so many forgotten gems and products that I had never used that end up at the back of my Alex Drawers.

Lee Stafford Hair Growth Scalp Scrub

I am such a big fan of the Lee Stafford Hair Growth range and when I had a bad experience at the hairdressers as a teenager, this range completely saved my hair! I had never tried a scalp scrub before and it had really caught my attention, I always love trying new hair products and as I love the brand, I already knew I was going to be a fan and it hasn't disappointed!

Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear Foundation & La Base Pro Hydra Glow

Lancome are killing it with their shade range with this newly relaunched foundation, it is available in 40 shades - this puts so many brands to shame with only having 12 shades! Now everyone will be able to find a good shade match with this new foundation from the brand, I have been testing it out for a few weeks now and I have been really loving the coverage and finish it has on the skin.

Yankee Candle Easter 2017 Gift Set

I have been loving my candles again recently and I just couldn't resist this cute Easter set! I picked up one of these last year and I think this years is even better, especially as I got it with a decent amount of discount! This would be a great Easter gift alternative to chocolate too.

Elegant Touch Nude Nails

Elegant Touch nails are my absolute favourites and a go to for whenever I want chic looking nails or if I have an event. I have been obsessed with nude nails at the moment so it was as if this collection was made for me! My nails have never been in great condition and are such a rubbish length which is one of the reasons why I always go for Elegant Touch. I have always paid so much money to have my nails done in salons and I never got compliments on them but as soon as I switched to Elegant Touch, I am always getting asked where I had my nails done!

Must Have Products for Smooth & Plump Lips

I have always hated my lips and their size and while I am not ready to get lip injections just quite yet, these products are such life savers! I do tend to have pretty dry lips too so I am always looking for hydrating balms and products as well as good lip scrubs that keep the lips smooth and prepped for liquid lipsticks but don't dry out the lips too much.

New Holy Grail Products

While I love trying out new makeup, these are the products that I have found myself using the most over the past weeks and months and I don't think I could ever be without them. One or two are newer products that I have got in the last month or so but they have quickly made it into my makeup bag and have me seriously impressed!

Covergirl Ready Set Gorgeous Foundation

I had been wanting to get my hands on this foundation for the longest time as Eleventh Gorgeous are always raving about it. I finally managed to get my hands on it after ordering it from Amazon.com for about £8, I didn't think this was too badly priced considering that included shipping and customs costs, it usually goes for around £15 on eBay.

Soap & Glory Favourites

Soap and Glory has been one of my favourite brands for as long as I can remember and still to this day whenever I go into Boots, I head straight to the Soap and Glory section! Over the years I have really fallen in love with many of their skincare and makeup products and not just their body care which started off my love affair.

iZ Beauty Nail Polishes

iZ Beauty is a brand new brand to me and I have been wearing these two nail polishes non-stop in the last two-ish weeks! If you are looking for some new pastel shades to update your nail polish collection for spring, these shades are definitely work checking out!

Nanshy Vegan Brush & Sponge Cleaner

I think I might be one of the few people that doesn't actually mind washing their brushes! I like to wash mine once a week and try and spot clean when I remember but for deep cleaning my brushes, I always like to try and use a solid brush cleaner which is where this one comes in. I have been loving Nanshy brushes lately and they have just launched a solid brush cleaner that I have been loving!

March 2017 Degustabox

I have to say, this is by far one of my favourite boxes from the last couple of months as it has so many products that I had been wanting to try and some really exciting ones! If you don't know about Degustabox already, it is a food and drink subscription box when each month you receive a box packed full of food and drink items to match your preferences. As always, I will have an amazing discount code at the end for new customers!

OGX Healing + Vitamin E Hair Care

I have been wanting to try out OGX for the longest time and this set couldn't have arrived at a better time as my hair as been in serious need of some hydration! OGX products are pretty affordable and easy to get hold of, Superdrug stocks them online and I always love that they offer free delivery but I have also spotted them in my local Tesco store!

What I Bought Last Month #3

I have picked up quite a few good things this past month but definitely not as I had in January and February which makes me happy as I have spent a little less money! I have been loving pretty much all of these purchases and I would recommend a few of them to treat yourself to this month! I already have my eyes on a few beauty bits and it's only the first so let's hope next month's haul isn't too big.
