April Favourites

Happy May guys :) We are now officially a third of the way through the year!

Last month I tidied things up and got rid of old junk and I now have a few new favorites of April, so here they are:

Maybelline Bouncy Blush in 'Pink Plum'

Spring has sprung along with some brighter, lighter spring make-up looks. I have started to wear blusher more in the sunny whether because I never really used it before. The color looks nice and spring-y and the blush is nice. There are some aspects of it that I find a bit annoying (personal preference) but since this is the only blush I own, I have been wearing it and I like the look it gives.

Lip Gloss

Again with make-up that is more for spring/summer, I have started to use lip gloss more. I think it just looks fresh and sunshine-y (my describing words are becoming made up now) and I am preferring the look they give in this sunny weather. The two that are shown are:

No.7 High shine in whisper - lovely shimmery pale pink colour (not sure why the swatch on boots website looks brown)!

Natural Collection Juicy lips in Vanilla - clear lip shine that I put over a colour to add glossiness. 

Butterfly Perfume - M&S

This perfume is absolutely lovely! It smells gorgeous and lasts well. I have the 10ml bottle but you can also buy 25ml and 90ml. I have only just bought it and I already love it! I like the packaging of the 10ml, just a clear glass bottle with a nice lid, but I can decide weather I like the packaging of the 90ml one or not! What do you think? (I really can't describe the smell but M&S say: 'This eau de toilette is fruity, fresh and fun with a sophisticated but not too serious twist. Fresh green notes of fruity apple, watery cucumber and zesty grapefruit drift to a smooth and delicate magnolia flower, rose and violet which are followed by a rich base of musks and amber. Fresh and feminine with a playful innocence.' ) 

Passenger - All the Little Lights album

I popped into HMV to pick up a DVD I wanted to watch and I ended up spending a bit too much money on music. I saw this album and wanted to listen to it as I love the song 'Let Her Go'. All of the songs on this album are lovely and his voice and songs are so inspiring and lovely to listen to. I think this album could be one of my all time favorites, I LOVE IT! 

Floral Wire Headband

This cute floral headband has wire running through it so you can style it however you want. It's perfect for spring and when you don't want to style your hair in anything fancy! I can't remember where I bought it but I have had it for a while now. 

Chocolate

It was Easter. Need I say more?

Hope you have had a great month and enjoyed my favourites post!

Have you tried any of my favorites? What did you think?

Tartan Picks

Hello!

Today I bring you my first fashion post! I hope to do many more of these if you like them so please comment your thoughts.

Tarten/check is becoming very popular and is appearing in more and more shops. Personally, I love the look of tartan and so I decided to put together a post of my favourite items (it turned out to be a lot)!

Cropped sweat | Check shirt | Velvet tartan top | Denim top with tartan collar

I loved so many tops, but I decided to narrow it down, and give a variety of different styles. There's the classic shirt, the more chic, velvet top, the cropped sweat, and my favourite, the denim shirt with a tartan collar. I love how you can wear this and still get the tartan look without going all out.

I think a tartan top would look, and stand out better, if you kept the trousers plain.

Check leggings | Red tartan leggings | Blue check jeans
Velvet skirt | Tartan mini skirt

Personally, I think tartan leggings look better, but I did find a nice pair of check jeans. I think tartan trousers and leggings would look great with a black (or other colour) peplum top.

 I wasn't so much of a fan of tartan skirts because I think some can make you look, school girl-ish or like your wearing a kilt, I did find two that I liked though.

Sweetheart dress | Green tartan dress | Tartan skater dress | Smock dress

Dresses was the hardest to narrow down because I loved so many of them. What I particularly like, is that you can get smart ones, and you can get casual, chill out at home with a hot chocolate, ones. I think tartan dresses are great and you can keep the rest of your outfit simple.

Also, after I had finished the rest of this post, I came across this dress...

I don't know about you, but I absolutely love it. I think it would be perfect for the summer, for the beach and for festivals. I love how it goes from tartan to blue in a kind of dip-dyed effect. Ahhhhhh I just love it!

Okay this post is getting too long...

I hope you liked my favourite tartan picks and let me know in the comments which was your favourite!
