♥April Favourites!♥

Hey guys, Happy Bank Holiday! Hope your all having a wonderful day! Since its May now, I thought I'd share with you my April Favourites! So lets get into it!♥

The first thing I have been loving in April is the Real Techniques Brushes (1) I brought the Core Collection for £21.99 which I think was an amazing price for 4 make up brushes. They are amazing quality and feel so soft and smooth on the face. The brushes you get are a detailer brush, a pointed foundation brush, a buffing brush and a contour brush. My favourite brush out of the four is definitely the buffing brush! I use this to blend in my foundation and it makes my face look flawless and doesn't leave brush lines in my foundation which I love! They are made of synthetic fibres and are very easy to wash! I love these brushes.

The next thing I've been loving is again the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge (2) I love this sponge so much! I blend my foundation and concealer in with this and it blends into my face amazingly. It has 3 parts to the sponge, a flat side, a pointed tip and rounded sides and they are all very helpful and make your skin look flawless. I brought this for £5.99 and it is so worth the money! 

I got some Simple Hydrating Light Moisturiser (3) as I had ran out of my old moisturiser and I love this! I also moisturise after I've cleansed and toned my face when I take off my makeup and before I apply my make up! It has Pro-Vitamin B5 which restores, soften and smooths your skin. It has vitamin E which moisturises and improves your skin condition, which I have definitely noticed. It also makes a great base for applying your makeup and for £1.99 its great.

The foundation I've been loving this month is Estèe Lauder Double Wear Foundation (4) you can find my full detailed review on my blog: http://nancyelizabethmakeup.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/estee-lauder-double-wear-foundation.html I got this for £28.50 and after having some trouble with this foundation I've finally learnt to love it! After watching many tutorials of how different people apply the foundation, I've finally found my own personal way and the trick is to apply as little as possible to avoid the 'cake face' look. It does stay all day which I love about it! It is on the expensive side but basically you get what you pay for.

My last product I love is M·A·C's Rebel (5) ! I LOVE this lipstick so much! I love M·A·C lipsticks so much and they are literally worth the money. This retail at £15.00 and I happily pay this much for one! They last a long time, especially when you have a couple of different shades and me personally wear a different shade every day. They make your lips feel moisturised and have an amazing sheen to them! I will be a M·A·C Lipstick junkie for all my life!

Review│♥M·A·C Rebel Lipstick♥

Yay its Saturday, hope your having a magical weekend!♥
I want to share with you all my thoughts on M·A·C's Rebel that I purchased earlier in the week.
I am in love with this! I never normally wear lipstick and if I do its a very nude colour, so I thought I'd be daring and get a darker colour that I wouldn't really go for and see if I could pull it off.

I brought this from my M·A·C counter in Debenhams, it retailed at £15.00. Some may think this is alot of money but its so worth it! 

It came in this black packaging. I love the packaging that M·A·C provides for thier products and I always keep them to store them in, so when I am finished my lipstick I can stack them and keep them neat and tidy.

I absolutely love the colour of this lipstick. I'm so so in love and it was so worth every penny. It's a very deep purple but with a hint of pink in it. I personally think it looks much darker in the tube compared to when you actually put it on your lips, but the product is buildable. The more product you put on, the more darker it goes. It also has a satin finish so it gives a beautiful shine on the lips. I've also noticed with this lipstick, if you put a slight amount on your lips too, this also acts as a lip tint which I love also. 

The reason why I love this product, other than the colour, is it last so long on my lips! I woke up at 9am today, I put this lipstick on and its 3.30pm and it still is on my lips. Ive had lunch, had drinks and even gave my boyfriend some kisses and it is still as it was when I applied the lipstick this morning and I haven't had to retouch on my lips with the product! I did however, before putting the lipstick on, apply some concealer onto my lips to give the lipstick a bit of hold and after I applied I added some translucent powder over the top to stop it from smudging. This may of been a help for the product to stay on my lips, but I have tried the lipstick another day without applying concealer and powder and it lasts a long period of time.

I honestly cant get enough of this lipstick!

I defiantly recommend this lipstick to you all who want to try something new and dark!
