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?

After my little ebay clearout I have been trying to find some key pieces for my A/W12 wardrobe. As New Look offer free delivery on orders over £45 I ordered a few bits from them and ended up keeping these little beauties:

This is such a cute simple dress! It's made from jersey so a flattering fit and paired with some black tights and a chunky knit will be an easy outfit for lazy Sundays this Winter! I got it for £13 in the sale.

I've been smitted with studded collars since they decided to explode all over A/W12 in pretty much every high street store. This sheer blouse will be easy to wear with black jeans or leggings as it's longline, but will also look cute tucked into a skirt! And a bargain at £10!
