As I write this I'm
suffering with a cold once again, this has been quite typical lately,
due to my current schedule. I've been really feeling the effects of
exhaustion and because of this, I've been catching colds more
frequently. Despite these circumstances, I've been heavily enjoying
glimpses of the Spring sunshine as well as some new and old products.
Read below what I have been loving during April.
MAC Velvet Teddy
One of MAC's
bestselling products, and there's no need to question why. Velvet
Teddy is a matte nude with slight brown undertones. It's formula is
super creamy, long lasting, and glides easily on the lips. For me,
this is such a classic colour and staple in my make-up collection,
and I love wearing this on a day to day basis.
Garnier Oil Infused
Micellar Cleansing Water
Whilst on the hunt for
the Bioderma Sensibio H20 Micellar Water, I had come across Garnier's
oil infused cleanser and decided to give this a go instead. I had
been using the original Garnier cleansing water ( the one with the
pink lid ), but found that with every use, my skin would feel
stripped away of its oils, and I had ongoing trouble when removing my
eye make up. The packaging states that the oil infused cleanser is
suitable for dry and sensitive skin, is non greasy and also has the
ability to remove even waterproof make up. I find this works an
absolute treat. It removes all of my make up and leaves my face
feeling fresh and nourished.
Arganic Beauty Oil
If you've read my post
on the Arganic event ( read here ), you'll know that I kindly
received a bottle of their 100ml Beauty Oil. This little gem had been
sitting on my vanity table, unused and unloved because unfortunately,
I had completely forgotten about it. I had run out of my moisturiser
at the time, and reached for this instead of purchasing something
new. I have been using this oil every single day, massaging this
gently into my skin, and have noticed a massive difference! Not only
has this worked wonders on my skin, but the brand itself is 100%
organic and pure.
Burt's Bees Cotton
Extract Facial Cleanser
The Burt's Bees Cotton
Extract Facial Cleanser is of a very thick, creamy consistency. It
has no fragrance, is hypo-allergenic, allergy tested and
dermatologist- tested, therefore suited for the most sensitive skin
and is extremely gentle. This is a product that I always forget about
and soon rediscover, reminding myself how great this works for me.
When I'm bothered, I like to double cleanse my face using the Garnier
Micellar Water first and then finishing off with the Burt's Bee
Cotton Extract Facial Cleanser. This always leaves my skin feeling
baby soft, and looking hydrated, and I adore that its not scented.
Not only have I been
loving the above products, I've been really enjoying the simple
things. During April my Mother had made a vegan banana cake using
coconut flour and it was absolutely delicious. I've also been
continuously flipping through Vogue's May Issue, also featured above
with cover girl Amber Valletta, and have been taking lots of
inspiration with the colour palette, wellness and beauty articles
from this issue. I'm excited to see what Edward Enninful has in store
for the future of British Vogue now he's been appointed
Editor-In-Chief!
I hope
you're having a glorious start to May. Let me know below what you've
been enjoying in the past month!
