A Few April Favourites


Chanel Orchidee & Revlon Raspberry Pie & Peach Parfait Lip Butters

Chanel Orchidee Rouge Coco Lipstick - A pretty pink-y red shade, which adds a nice pop off colour to lips without being over the top. Formula and finish are both excellent and long-lasting, too.

Revlon Raspberry Pie & Peach Parfait Lip Butters - I've been reaching for these quite a bit since I picked them up last month. Raspberry Pie is really pigmented, so I've been applying with a very light hand. Used in this way, it leaves a hint of stain like colour on lips, which is fairly long-lasting. I'm not a fan of the slightly gritty texture of Peach Parfait, but the colour is great.

NARS Douceur & Cactus Flower

Nars Douceur Blush - A great, neutral pink-brown shade. I've been reaching for this almost everyday to add a touch of really natural looking colour to cheeks.

Nars Cactus Flower - Is a vibrant reddish coral, which looks suprisingly natural applied. It adds a pretty, fresh flush to cheeks and holds up well on my oily skin. Swatch & review here.

Becca Eye Tints: Pewter & Baroque and MyFace Eye Pencil

Becca Romanticism & Pewter Eye Tints - I've been using Romanticism on a daily basis to add a wash of long-lasting, natural colour to lids. Pewter is more pigmented and is perfect for creating a quick and easy smoky eye. Swatches here & here.

MyFace Eye Liner Pencil - I picked this up last month after my brown, Dior eye pencil ran out, and I'm impressed with how creamy this it and how well it applies and lasts.

Leighton Denny Fell The Burn & Rampant Rose & Chanel June
 
Leighton Denny Feel The Burn & Rampant Rose - Feel The Burn is a rich, terracotta red shade and looks fab on fingers and toes, and Rampant Rose is a rich, berry colour, which is very similar to Chanel's April. Swatches of both here.

Chanel June - I'm still loving orange and peach-y shades at the moment and have been sporting them on nails quite a lot. June is a pretty, soft apricot colour, which applies brilliantly and dries to a gorgeously glossy finish. A perfect spring shade!

    1. Douceur's a great shade, isn't it? I'm not really a huge fan of blush, but I'm loving this one at the moment. It's so natural and goes with almost anything!

  3. I've been loving a mishmash of products lately. The bronzing products I posted about, and a MAC lip gloss (lip gloss! Can you believe? Haha) and some other items. I keep meaning to get a post ready but for some reason I can't be bothered right now ._.

  5. Hi Nat, another gorgeous set of favorites. IJune looks like a wonderful color to be wearing now. I wore lip butters quite often this month too, as well as my Burt's Bees tinted lip balm. It wasn't really a lipstick month for me

    1. Oooh, a Burt's Bees tinted balm? I've only tried the regular minty one they make, will have to look out for the tinted one! I'm the complete opposite at the moment. I'm making the most of lipsticks now and will probably switch to balms, tints and glosses when the weather warms up a bit. It's been horrible here over the past couple of weeks :/
