April Favourites

TGIF! I am so happy it's finally the bank holiday weekend - hooray! I will be popping off to Leicester with my beau this evening for a weekend of relaxation, shopping and drinking in our Uni city. I hope you have a lovely time however you choose to spend your three days.

You may have gathered from the title that today I'm doing a favourites post! I've never done one before but there are a few things I'd like to rave about this month, so here goes!

First up is a fashion favourite - this gorgeous cream and blue printed New Look blouse. I've loved wearing this for work & also on the weekend, it's really versatile. Everytime I've worn this I've received compliments and I do think it's one of the prettiest things I own! I posted about this HERE.

My second favourite of the month is this Christmas Cupcake Yankee Candle - now I am well aware that Christmas was many many months ago but I'm not one to restrict myself to seasons/festivities. If I like it, I like it, regardless of the time of year, and this deliciously scented candle is a big like! You can purchase this from Amazon for £17.99 HERE.

Onto make up, I have been using this MUA Undress Your Skin foundation (in shade Porcelain) almost every day since I bought it. I'm yet to properly review it, but in brief it's the perfect match for my pale skin and helps my skin stay matte and non-shiny well into the evening! I will be posting a full review soon. £5.00 from Superdrug HERE.

Another make up item I've adored in April is the Revlon Lip Butter in Candy Apple. You can read my full review of this HERE but suffice to say this has been the perfect workday lip for me throughout the month, and it will probably continue for the rest of the Spring & Summer! Usually £7.99 but currently £5.99 in Superdrug HERE (price correct at the time of writing).

My random favourite of the month is this hand wash from Baylis & Harding. I realise that hand wash probably isn't very high on the list of priorities for most people, but I picked this one up from Boots last month and it smells amazing - seriously, the nicest smelling hand wash ever! It's 'wild rose and raspberry leaf' and for £2.19 it's worth popping into your basket next time you're in Boots (similar HERE).

My favourite book from April is the new hardback from Jodi Picoult. I am a big big fan of Jodi, in fact she's probably my favourite modern writer - her books are always about controversial or taboo subjects that make you really think, and her characters are always incredibly well thought out. I read this in about a day and a half, I have a habit of reading Jodi Picoult books well into the night because I just can't put them down! You can buy this from Amazon HERE for £9.00.

What have been your favourites from April? What do you think of my picks?

Accidental Superdrug Haul - feat Rimmel & MUA

Wow, another haul post, how original. What can I say, I've been haulin' a lot lately! When I was back home for a week of R&R with my family I ended up spending money quite thoughtlessly, justifying it each time by telling myself "this is my holiday this year, it's cheaper than going abroad". I'm not so sure about that now I've surveyed the damage to my credit card, but still. Here's a small haul that resulted from a random stop at Superdrug..

I picked up two MUA items, despite vowing never to give them my money again. I would say that I'm weak-willed, but I'm not (being vegan requires a strong will!) I'm just a sucker for a promotional offer! The MUA Undress Me Too eyeshadow palette was on offer for £3, and the MUA Undress Your Skin Illuminating Foundation was on offer for £3 (HERE). Stay tuned for reviews. You can buy these products online via MUA (HERE and HERE) or instore at Superdrug.

I also picked up these three Rimmel nail varnishes - now, I know what you're thinking: more nail varnish?! I really do not need any more polishes to add to my collection, but I really wanted to get the Blue Eyed Girl polish after spying it on someone's nails, and I love the Precious Stones I got for my birthday (Diamond Dust - post HERE) and wanted to try the red one too!

These are the shades I picked up - the Cocktail Colour polish in Hawaiian Punch was a total random impulse buy, as they were on 3 for the price of 2 I had to get another item to get the offer.  The Cocktail Colour is available for £3.99 (HERE), the Precious Stones is £3.99 (HERE) and the 60 seconds is £3.69 (HERE).

Have you made any accidental purchases recently?
