Monthly Favourites - April



























April is over and this year is totally flying by! I hope you all had a lovely Easter, I myself enjoyed simply lazing about reading and writing and lying in the sun! Almost all of my favourites for this month are new additions to my collection and I am so thrilled that I have some new things to play with! If there isn't a review on my blog already there will definitely be one coming up soon!

Lips: This was the most unexpected favourite of all, simply because I didn't even know these existed until I was in Priceline and saw the Covergirl Smoochies Lip Balm in the shade 'Luv u' for only $3. I had no idea what colour to pick up so I went for a nice Berry looking shade and I have worn it every single day since purchasing it because it is just so natural and flattering. I am a huge fan!

Face: I rediscovered an old favourite of mine, the Maybelline Superstay foundation. Somehow I have gained a little bit of a tan so it matches my skin almost perfectly, and as a result I've been using this more often. It is a medium to full coverage foundation so I don't wear it everyday, but I just love the gorgeous finish it gives.

Eyes: Without a doubt the eye product I have been reaching for most this month is the Loreal Colour Infalliable Shadow in Tender Caramel. I managed to grab this little bargain for $2.10 at Target and it was the best buy because it is such a beautiful brown shade. I cannot recommend this enough!

Nails: I have two nail favourites this month, the first being an Essie mini polish in Meet me at sunset. I have adored this bright orange shade and I am so lucky to have won it in Erin's giveaway! The other polish I have enjoyed wearing is the Essence topper in Black Dress and White tie. I don't always give into special effect polishes but this was irresistible (and for obvious reason too!).

Other: Lastly is the other category, and this month I have decided to include not a product but a hobby I have really enjoyed. I've been struggling a bit lately and have found writing (whether it be poetry, blog posts or journalling) to be so very helpful and enjoyable. I would recommend it to anyone because it really helps sort your thoughts out!


I hope you've all had a lovely April!

  1. The Eleventhgorgeous girls always rave about the CG Smoochies, I've never thought to look at them though! I might if I ever see them on sale like you did! My sister owns the Superstay foundation, and whenever I do her makeup (often, haha) I am pretty impressed with it!

    1. I was so surprised that a product I'd never even glanced at turned out to be a favourite. It's quite strange! The Superstay foundation is brilliant, I am so glad I rediscovered it. x

  2. I think I went through 2 bottles of the SuperStay foundation a few years back, pretty good stuff! Oh bring back those nice warm, sunny days!

  3. OOOO...I totally want to try that foundation and I'd love to have that l'oreal shadow! We have only 8 shades here! It's so sad!

    1. It's one of the more expensive 'drugstore' foundations but so worth it! I only stumbled across the loreal shadow because it was on sale for $2.10! How amazing is that?! x

  5. That smoochies definitely looks like a very 'Candice' shade! I recently got that Essence nail topper too, it looks so cool, can't wait to try it.
    I own the superstay in that exact shade you have, but it's way too dark for me. Maybe I should give it to you! Haha :) What a deal you score with Tender Caramel, that shade is gorgeous!

    1. Haha, you know me too well! :) I would love to hear your thoughts on the topper, it's just so cool! Such a shame that the foundation is too dark for you - although I will admit when I'm at my lightest after winter it is too dark. x

    1. This is going to sound silly but I don't know - every now and again I am able to take home a camera from my Dad's work (to borrow) and I go crazy snapping photos because it's such a good quality, expensive one. I'm really sorry that I don't know the name :( x

  12. Tender Caramel for $2.10 - what a bargain! Especially considering those Infallible eyeshadows retail for $19.95. I bought mine also on sale a while ago, but it was $10. I do think it's pretty but it's a tad too shimmery/frosty for my liking. It's a gorgeous colour underneath all that frost though :)

    1. I was so thrilled, Target have some amazing bargains. It is a little frosty but like you said, the shade is just too good to pass up. x

  13. WOW! Love the Essence black and white topper :) I really have to get one of those loreal eyeshadows, every man and his dog seems to rave about them!!!

    1. I personally hadn't taken an interest in the Loreal shadows until I saw it on sale. I can now tell you they are as incredible as everyone makes them out to be! x
