MUA 'Undress Me Too' Palette in Dreamy and Obsessed
MUA Eyeshadow in Shade 19
Rimmel ScandalEyes Kohl in Nude
Avon SuperShock Mascara
Rimmel Apocolips in Stellar

I started off by applying my favourite foundation, the Revlon ColorStay for Combination/Oily skin. I used my hands to apply in to get a more natural finish and then blended around the edges with a Real Techniques Buffing Brush. I then applied Benefit Fake Up Concealer under my eyes and Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer on any blemishes. I filled in my eyebrows using a Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil, I've always used the shade Black/Brown as I find pale eyebrows just don't suit me, I think really dark eyebrows just frame my face much better. I then contoured using NYX Blush in Taupe and applied a tiny bit of Natural Collection's Peach Melba blush to my cheeks.

For my eyes, I started with MUA's Eye Primer, and then followed with Rimmel ScandalEyes Shadow Stick in Bulletproof Beige as an eyeshadow base. I then used the shade Dreamy from the MUA Undress Me Too Palette all over the lid and the shade Obsessed in the outer corner. I also used an MUA Eyeshadow in Shade 19 through the crease. I finished with lots of Avon SuperShock mascara and Rimmel ScandalEyes Kohl in Nude in the waterline.

Finally I finished the evening look with Rimmel Apocolips in Stellar.

Hey guys, I'm back! I had a pretty hectic week of work and although I've still got a lot to do, I missed blogging too much aha! Anyway here are my April favourites, just a little late!

Barry M Gelly Nail Paint in Satsuma

I know I featured this in my last favourites but this colour is just so nice and perfect for Summer. I would have never thought that an orange nail polish would be wearable but it really does seem to go with anything!

Essie Absolutely Shore

This is a recent addition to my collection after hearing Vivianna Does Makeup raving about it. It really is the perfect mint, I sometimes find some of the dark mints quite garish and really hard to wear. But this one is a gorgeous pale mint and it looks really lovely on the nails!

Sleek Blush in Suede

I've always been more of a pinky blush person however the past couple of months, I've been reaching for this peachier blush daily! Its quite a dark terracotta colour and I find it just adds a really nice glow to the cheeks.

MUA Eyeshadow in Shade 17

I've also been reaching for more matte eyeshadows this month and so I've been going back to my MUA neutral colours. You can probably tell how much I use this because I've hit pan aha, but it really does look lovely over my Taupe Maybelline Color Tattoo. It just adds a really nice definition to the eyes.

Revlon ColorStay Foundation

I've also gone back to my all time favourite foundation, I was starting to find this foundation a little cakey a couple of months ago however I started using it again a couple of weeks ago and I'm not sure why I found it cakey at all. It just gives a really nice flawless finish and is the only thing that really keeps my oil at bay!

REN ClearCalm 3 Clarity Restoring Mask

This mask is a dream!! It literally is amazing. I only had two small samples of this and am gutted I've almost finished them, will definitely be repurchasing asap! (Read my first impressions rave here!)

Urban Decay 24/7 Shadow Pencil in Wasteland

I had almost forgotten how much I love this shadow pencil. And now I've finally found a cheap sharpener that fits it, meaning I can start using it again (Superdrug double barrelled one, amazing!). Its a really soft, creamy consistency and looks amazing smudged around the eyes for a subtle smokey eye.

NYX Blush in Taupe

Yet again, another re-favourite! I use this daily and I'm not quite sure how I managed not to contour before owning this, I love it. Perfect for us pale girls!

Avon SuperShock Max Mascara

This has to be one of my favourite mascaras. A really thick brush that just adds so much volume to my lashes. Will definitely be buying this over and over again.

Korres Lip Butter in Pomegranate

And finally, I found my Pomegranate Lip Butter! I love these lip butters, this one has a lovely hint of colour to  it and I find they just sit really nicely on the lips!

Lips

Boujois Rouge Edition Lipstick in '10 Rouge Buzz'

Soap & Glory Hand Maid Anti-Bacterial Gel

I picked this up completely on a whim because I thought it looked nice aha! But I've been using it several times a day and this is actually my second one, oops! Smells amazing thought and does the job perfectly.

La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo

After hearing the amazing hype surrounding this product I just knew I had to get it. A full review will be up soon but basically its balanced my skin out really well, I won't say its cleared up my skin completely, because it hasn't. But my skin is starting to gradually get clearer and the duo has also helped balance my oily skin. I no longer get shiny throughout the day which is amazing!

Maybelline Fit Me Foundation

I have been loving this foundation this month. Since I've been using the Effaclar Duo my skin hasn't been that oily which has meant that this foundation had been staying put all day with no need for touch ups. My Revlon ColorStay, as much as I love it, has just been that bit too heavy for my skin. The Fit Me foundation has been the perfect transition from Winter skin to Spring skin (not that you'd have guessed it was Spring!).

MUA Undress Me Too Palette

I must admit when I first got this palette, despite me loving the colours, I just didn't get much use out of it. However recently I've been reaching for it more and more. Especially the colour on the bottom row, far left. A really gorgeous palette and definitely one I'll keep going back to.

Benefit Fake Up Concealer

I recieved this at an event a few weeks ago and I've been wearing it daily. A really hydrating concealer with great coverage. With my skin it definitely needs a setting powder over the top but once it has been set it lasts all day!

NYX Taupe Blush

I have found my perfect contour (read my review here)! I love this colour, perfect for my pale skin and its really introduced me to the world of contouring!

Rimmel ScandalEyes Kohl Kajal in Bronze

I've been loving the subtle definition this has been giving my eyes this month. I've never been one for black eyeliner unless I'm going for a super smokey eye on a night out, this is just a lovely bronzey colour with a great formula. I wish Rimmel would release a dark brown ScandalEyes because that will be perfect, the only thing I'm missing eyeliner wise (any recommendations for a dark brown, leave them below)!

Barry M Hi-Shine Gelly Paints in Lychee, Watermelon and Satsuma

These have been everywhere on the blogsphere and I have to say, I'm hooked! The latest colour I picked up was Satsuma and it is literally the perfect orange, so stunning and I never thought I'd like orange nail polish, ever!
