My April Favourites

Maybelline Colour Sensational Vivid Lipstick In 'Shocking Coral'- Since I bought this beauty at the start of the month I have not stopped wearing it. A beautiful bright pinky coral shade, that is super smooth & long lasting.

Maybelline The Rocket Volum' Express Mascara In Black - See review here maybelline rocket mascara review

Superdrug Dry Shampoo In Chocolate Brownie 150ml - For 99p this is a good dry shampoo for dark hair as it has a brown dye to it. I used this on my roots when I was in need of a hair dye touch up & this covered my roots up brilliantly.

Collection 2000 Lasting Perfect Concealer in 'Light' - This month was the first time I have tried this concealer. I honestly don't know how I lived without this for so long. Great coverage & Long lasting. 

ELF Baked Blush In 'Pinktastic' - Although this is a blush I find it way to light to use it for this purpose, so I have been using it as a highlighter. Pinktastic has a lovely light pink shimmer so perfect for highlighting. On top of my cheek bones, on my cupids bow, under the arch of my eyebrow. It's a good dupe for Mac mineralized skinfinish.

Maybelline Stay Matte Powder In 'Translucent' - See review here rimmel stay matte powder review.

Bourjois Blush In 'Golden Rose' - I am obsessed with this blusher, a gorgeous pink tone with the perfect amount of golden shimmer, for the perfect subtle glow. I will be reviewing this very soon.

Ebay Beauty Blender Dupe - Although the original beauty blender has so much hype around it I just cant bring my self to pay £16+ on a little sponge (call me scrooge). Whilst browsing on ebay I stumbled across a beauty blender for 99p, it looked like the real thing & for 99p I thought, what's to lose. To me this feels just like the real thing, & the finish of my foundation after using this is flawless. I've tried beauty blender dupes before & this by far is THE best I have come across. I'm definitely going to buy some more & stock up. Here's the link if your interested Ebay Beauty Blender. Since I bought this last month they have since put the price up to £1.25, but still a great bargain.

Manicure Monday with Sinful Colors | Nail Art

After much anticipation Sinful colors nail polish has arrived in the U.K!! Sinful Colors has been popular in the U.S.A for years now, with a range of 70 shades in every finish - creams, pearls, glitter, shimmer and matte, all for the affordable price of just £1.99. Now being stocked In Boots.

I am bit of a nail polish snob, preferring to use O.P.I, china glaze & Essie.With the hype around Sinful Colors & the price of just £1.99 I just had to see what these polishes were like for myself. 








Here are the colours I picked up -

Frenzy, Easy Going, Soul Mate.

'Easy Going' - which Is a very light baby pink. With this shade I used 3 light coats. Even with my years of nail polish snobbery I have never come across such an opaque light pink shade.  

'Soul Mate' - A coral peach shade. Two coats gave perfect coverage.

'Frenzy' - Purple, pink & blue glitter. One coat is sheer so could be used over a solid colour polish, for extra sparkle. Two coats was nearly opaque & three coats was just as it looks in the bottle. 

For the purpose of testing these polishes out I didn't wear any base or top coat & these polishes lasted three days until they started to chip. 

Personally I really love these polishes. Opaque, long lasting, wide variety of colours and finishes for £1.99, amazing. 

Easy Going & Soul Mate

Here is another easy D.I.Y nail design. Love Hearts. Using two of the sinful color polishes.

1. Using a doting tool or the end of a bobby pin, dot two small hearts next to each other.

2.Place another small dot underneath. Making a triangle shape of three dots.

3. Again using the dotting tool join the dots together to make a little heart.

4. Apply a top coat & cuticle oil if desired.   

I hope you like this nail art design.
