April Beauty Favourites

Thursday, April 30, 2015
I know I write this every month but I cannot believe that another month has gone by - where is 2015 going! I have a mix of favourites for april including quite a lot of new makeup finds as well as fragrance and bodycare. Jurlique, Yves Rocher, Bourjois, Essence, Benefit, Library of Fragrance and Urban Decay have been my favourite brands this month!

Let's start with my favourite topic, makeup! I received the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette this month and it is the first naked palette I've owned *shock horror* and I've been loving it even thought I thought it would be too pink toned but it's perfect for spring. Another new makeup find is the Bourjois Healthy Balance Powder which is one of the best setting powders I've tried, for once the rave reviews are actually right! I've been using it with the fan brush from the new Real Techniques Sculpting Set (the contour brush is great from this set too). 

Another new product to my makeup collection is the Essence Maximum Length Mascara which I was meant to use in my Essence Day to Night Blogger Challenge (here) but I completely forgot to use it! The mascara gives so much length, it is so black and it makes my lashes look fluttery and long. Onto brows, I have been using the Benefit Gimme Brow much more this month as I've loved the lighter, less bold brow look this month. 

Onto skincare and I have two gorgeous products from Jurlique which not only look so fancy and luxe but they are lovely to use. First up, the Jurlique Rose Moisture Plus Revitalising Gel Lotion and the Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist; both products smell lovely, they are effective and don't irritate my skin. I particularly love the balancing mist as a hydrating spray before applying makeup and to refresh my skin throughout the day. I will have a full review of these products on my blog this week!

Last but not least, I have a bodycare favourite from Yves Rocher which has been in a favourites post before! The Yves Rocher Silky Cream is one of my favourite body lotions, it smells incredible and it leaves my skin SO smooth/soft. The final favourite for April is The Library of Fragrance Baby Powder Cologne, it does smell like sweet baby powder/talc which I have been loving as a linen spray. I have recently been loving the The Library of Fragrance Thunderstorm Cologne too which is very fresh and it smell like freshly cut grass to me. Both colognes are definitely more long lasting than all of the other Library of Fragrance colognes I've tried. 

What have been your beauty favourites for the month of April? Do you own any of these products, if so do you love them as much as I do?

House of Fraser Beauty Confidential Offer

Wednesday, April 15, 2015
I have a confession to make...I didn't own any of the infamous Urban Decay naked palettes *bad beauty blogger* until now! The Urban Decay naked palettes have an almost cult beauty product status and following, especially in the blogging world. It is no surprise that all three Urban Decay naked palettes are included in the House of Fraser top beauty products offer! 

The *Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette (£38) is the rose gold, pink toned palette of the three and it is definitely a winner for spring. The shades range from a gorgeous creamy matte highlight, shimmery pink toned champagnes and mink shades to bronze, taupe and purple shades so there is something for everyone. I have to admit, the very pink shades will not look amazing on my very fair, pink toned skin but all of the other shades are just gorgeous. The shadows are pigmented, buttery smooth and I love the inclusion of mattes which isn't always the case with eyeshadow palettes as they tend to be shimmer, shimmer, shimmer! I will have a full review with various looks on my blog within the next few weeks so stay tuned!

The palette also comes with a double ended brush which is actually very soft and useful with a flat shadow brush on one end and a fluffy blending brush on the other. It makes the palette even more travel friendly with a good range of shades for day or night, a handy brush and it is all contained in strong, durable packaging - it's the perfect package. You receive a sample sachet of four of the Urban Decay primer potions (original, sin, eden and the anti-ageing primer) in with the palette too which is a fantastic and welcome addition as I haven't tried most them before. Also the packaging is rose gold. Enough said. *heart eye emoji*

The Urban Decay naked palettes are £38 but as they are included in the Beauty Confidential offer at House of Fraser for a limited time, they will have £10 of the price when you purchase any of the 30 products in the offer for full price which is a fantastic deal. There are so many cult status and high end products in the offer which are usually not discounted including products from Bobbi Brown, Giorgio Armani, YSL, Creme de la Mer and more! Here are my picks from the Beauty Confidential offer:
