April Favourites!

It's that time again, I feel like this post comes around really fast! 
It's the April Favourites post!
Here's what I've been loving for the past month.


My first favourite is something that I got in my February Glossy Box, if you want to see what else I got just click here.


It's the Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Relaxing Balm, I've been using this as a serum on my wet hair after spraying in some leave in conditioner and it's been great for my wavy/frizzy hair. It leaves my hair feeling really smooth and soft and I do like it but I'm not sure if I'd spend £12-£15 on it.


Sticking with the hair product theme my next favourite is another Glossy Box product, this time from the March - Harrods Edition Box, check out what else I got here. It's the Ojon Damage Reverse Instant Restorative Hair Serum, this is more of an oil than a serum, it claims to strengthen weak hair against breakage and tame frizz and I would say it does both of those things! I use it just on the ends of my hair after I've used the Paul Mitchell Super Skinny as my ends tend to be much drier and it leaves them silky soft. I really love this product but the main thing that puts me off is the price as a full size version is almost £30.


Next up is the Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream, I have this in Light which is not actually that light on me. If you're not familiar with BB Creams they fall in between a tinted moisturiser and a foundation, they have slightly more coverage than a tinted moisturiser but not as much as foundation and they often contain SPF and ingrediants that are beneficial to the skin. 
The Garnier BB Cream has SPF 15 and contains mineral pigments and vitamin C, I use this as my moisturiser as my skin is oily so I don't need a lot of moisture and it works great at covering blemishes and giving an even tone to the skin, I don't have to conceal as much and I just set it with a powder and I'm done, it saves me from wearing foundation on a daily basis which I think must be better for your skin.
This is the only BB Cream I've tried so far, can anyone recommend me any other good ones to try?


This product is something I'm absolutely in love with and if you read my March Favourites post then you'll know I love this, if you didn't then click here.
It's the Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner, I won't go in to detail about this as everything you need to know is in my March Favourites post so all I'll say is that I loved this product last month and I'm still loving it now!


 I have been using this product nearly everyday, I love it! It's the Maybelline Color Tattoo in On and On Bronze for my full review click here.
I find this to be a perfect colour for everyday wear and it's so quick and easy to apply it fits in great with my makeup routine which needs to be fast as I have to do it with my 20 month son climbing all over me lol.
I really love this and would like to try some of the other shades.


Lastly I've been loving these two L'Oreal Rouge Caresse Lipsticks in Dating Coral (top) and Cheeky Magenta. Dating Coral is my perfect everyday lipstick, it goes really well with my fair skin tone and I love the texture of it on my lips. I also love Cheeky Magenta for days when I want a brighter lip, the colour is amazing and I can't recommend these lipsticks enough, I definately want to try some more shades of these. For my full review of these lipsticks click here.

So that's everything for April, as always I love to hear what you think so leave me a comment if you love any of these products too or you can recommend anything to me :)
