April Favourites



Marc Jacobs Daisy EDP
I was debating between the regular Marc Jacobs Daisy EDT or this EDP, which only comes in a 50ml and is more expensive. However, I think you'll not need to use as much because its stronger than the EDT. I love the combination of femininity and sensuality. I feel the EDP oozes sophistication. The top notes include, strawberry, voilet leaves and ruby red grapefruit.
The heart notes are violet, jasmine and gardenia. And the base notes vanilla, musks and white woods.


No7 micro-abrasion
This exfoliator from No.7 is great for really getting deep into the skin and deep cleansing. I have been using it once a week. As you rub it in circular motions over your face, the fine beads invigorate the surface of the skin and remove the dead skin and dirt from your pores. Its scent free and you don't need a lot, so I think it was a good buy.

Maxfactor Blusher
Although i have used the same MaxFactor blusher for numerous years. I had my makeup done by a MaxFactor makeup artist and she used this colour, 235 Chestnut, on me and I thought it suited my complexion well. My typical go to, is still Mulberry but for a change up this month I have been using this colour now and again.


Real techniques brushes
I have been enjoying using these two brushes in particular because they are so easy to use to blend your makeup and also for contouring. I have the .... Set and the .... Set, courtesy of my lovely friend Mandeep, who bought these for me as a gift last year. I find these two brushes I use more than the others.



Music!
I have been loving JT's new album, the 20/20 experience. Its rare that you can listen to a whole album through without wanting to skip tracks, but with Justin Timberlakes new album I like listening to all the tunes on there. My favourite track is 'dont hold the wall', but thats just if i had to pick one.

GlossyBox's 2nd Birthday - Covent Garden

Yesterday I went to down to Glossybox's 2nd Birthday in Covent Garden! 
There was a massive Glossybox and a big timer next to it, counting down the time until the box next opened. Whilst I was waiting for the box countdown, Amber Antherton From Made In Chelsea, was on stage talking about her beauty regime and favourite products. There was also girls giving out little bags with some treats in.


When the timer hit 00:00 the box opened and there were girls inside handing out free Glossybox's. Although it was of course nice to see and be a part of, the amount of pushing, shoving and pure chaos was a little bit of a nightmare. I was near the front and I did manage to bag myself my free Glossybox (Yay to me), however could I move away from the front to get out of the crushing craziness, no.
The box didn't stay open for long and it soon closed and there were a lot of disappointed faces around. Amongst the sad faces were also alot of smiley, excited faces opening up their boxes and seeing what goodies they had inside.


Inside my is: 
Jelly Pong Pong - Fairy lashes mascara
Beautiful Movements Cosmetics - Prime and Create mixing medium
Premae - Harmony Balm
Roger and Gallet - Fleur de Figuiern sachets
Headline Colours - Poolside Party nail polish 083
Glossybox mini nail files

In my little goodie bag I got:
Glossybox eye mask
Lollipop
Glossybox blusher - glossy rosewood

Who else went down to Glossybox's 2nd Birthday celebrations?
