APRIL FAVOURITES

NARS Sheer Glow Foundation | MAC Studio Finish Concealer | MAC Prolongwear Concealer | Bobbi Brown Eyebrow Kit | Vidal Sassoon Daily Hydration Hairdryer* | Organix Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil

I have gone back to using NARS Sheer Glow and it has been perfect for my skin. I've noticed a big improvement, I have less dry patches and my skin feels much healthier (not like it's been covered in make-up all day). For me this foundation lasts all day, looks natural and doesn't oxidise or separate. I think it's got something to do with the day cream I've been using it with because when I've worn it with something else it doesn't give the same results. What ever it is, I'm going to continue doing it! The shade I wear is Mont Blanc.

My concealers of choice this month have been MAC Prolongwear topped with MAC Studio Finish. The only area I need to conceal is my undereyes, I have the most terrible dark circles, honestly I see people complaining about their dark circles and you can't even see them! Mine look like I have 2 black eyes - no kidding! This combo works perfectly for me. I find the Studio Finish too cakey on it's own but over Prolongwear it works great. I have two different shades, the Prolongwear is NW20 (warm toned to neutralise the purpley, dark bits) and the Studio Finish is NC15 (to brighten and lighten).

I don't think I've ever spoken about this eyebrow kit before, and it is my absolute holy grail. I have a thing with eyebrows, I am always noticing them on other people and I say "did you see her eyebrows" and friends look at me blankly! What can I say some people notice shoes first, I notice eyebrows! I use an eyebrow stencil that I got from eBay, I use the C2 stencil and it just makes for perfect brows that take no time at all. I use a MAC 224 brush dipped in the lightest shade of the Bobbi Brown palette (which is called Sable) and lightly fluff it over the stencil and that makes for perfect brows! It takes literally seconds and I do it every morning. 

I've always been a bit sceptical of hair dryers that boast to be that bit special, I used to think well a hair dryer was just a hair dryer, right? Well wrong! Vidal Sassoon Daily Hydration Hair Dryer* is amazing. Never have I had a hair dryer that dries my hair this fast and this shiny. The heat almost seems gentle, even when I have it on the highest setting. I've really been loving drying my hair this month!

Finally, I did mention this product at the end of March and I wasn't overly enamoured with it, but I have been reaching for it more than my Macadamia Healing Oil and I would definitely repurchase it when I run out. I find that when I use this my hair doesn't tangle so much and when I brush it I have no hair breakage at all. I've gone back to my Macadamia Oil a few times, and I just don't get the same results. This is probably filled with silicones or something but while it makes my hair look shiny, healthy and stops breakage I really am not fussed. After all if it's not breaking then in turn it will be healthier.
