So between writing my dissertation and revising for my final exams, I have managed to get away and write my April favourites for you! Im sorry its so late . . . . . but the past few weeks have been so full on at uni!
So I'm going to start off with my Kiehl's BB cream . . . now I haven't always been a great fan of BB creams, I have always found that they don't seem to sit well with powder (which is a necessity of mine). As you guys probably already know, I don't tend to wear a lot of foundation (if at all). I have to say, this BB cream has really changed my mind on the matter, I have been using the colour 'light' for about 4 weeks now and really love it. The coverage it gives is somewhere between a tinted a moisturiser and a full foundation. I would say it gives a light to medium coverage; if you like a thick coverage then this probably isnt the product for you. It really evens out my skin tone and paired with my cover up (Laura Mercier secret camouflage) it gives a flawless finish. It also contains SPF 50!! which is perfect for holiday and SPF is a must in any foundation. It hydrates and perfects the skin which I really think it has, so you don't need to wear moisturiser under it if you don't want to (I normally do). The only recommendation I would give is that it's like a thick moisturiser consistency and you only have to apply a small amount, its not like foundation where you can build it up, you can only apply it once otherwise it becomes uneven.
Second on my favourites in my Revlon- Just Bitten Kissable balm stain in the colour 020. I really like this product I went into boots to buy a Clinique Chubbystick in an almost identical colour, as I know how amazing their chubby sticks are. As I was walking past I noticed Revlon had just bought out a similar version, so I tried a few of the colours and loved this one! The reason I went for it was because it was half the price of Clinique (7.99 I think) and it smells minty which I love! The colour stays for hours, I tend to mix it with my lip balm for a lighter finish in the day or wear it alone in the evening. I would definitely recommend either product as they are both just as nice, If you want to splash out then go for Clinique but if you want a budget option this is just as good!
Next is my Mac Matte Bronzing Powder- I have been using this for a long time, almost a year now! But I hadn't shared this with you guys yet! I really like the colour of the bronzer and it brilliant for contouring the cheek bones; I like matte bronzers because I normally wear a shimmery blusher and highlighter so I don't want it to be too much.
Lastly on my list is my trench coat for Misguided, I have wanted this coat for AGES! I have seen this exact one of a couple of celebrities (and on Millie's style diaries) and it kept selling out. So as soon as it came back in I ordered it straight away. I absolutely LOVE it, it looks really expensive ( I think its was £47.99), I have had so many compliments on it and it goes with almost every item! I also like that its thinner then my leather jacket so I can wear it into spring (when the sun eventually comes!)
I promise I won't leave it this long to post again! I'm going to post my wish list at the end of the week so you can see what cosmetics and fashion buys I love!
