My first favourite of April is my Bourjour Rouge Edition Velvet liquid lipstick.
The lipsticks launched in April 2014 so a year on, I've finally bought one and I certainly won't look back! I have the shade 09 - Happy Nude Year which is very "Kylie Jenner". I never thought I'd be the person trying to pull off a Kylie Jenner Nude Lip, but I am and I rather like how this colour looks on me. When I Initially swatched this, it looked like the perfect nude colour which is one of the main reasons I wanted to purchase it - that and the fact that Anna from Vivianna Does Make up has raved about them since they came out in Boots, however on me it has a slightly peachy tone to it - which I really like.
The rouge editions have a matte finish, which I normally avoid at all costs because I have the driest lips, but I thought I'd give it a go and surprisingly it feels smooth on my lips and doesn't make them feel drier or give that flaky effect.
I definitely want to go and get some of the other colours in the range, they've got bold reds to bright pinks - there's definitely a colour for everyone! I would highly recommend.
My foundation of choice this month has been my Mac Studio Sculpt Foundation. This is totally worth the price tag. I am always apprehensive when buying foundations from high end brands because I tend to use them up quickly and prefer spending less when you can get foundations just as good at the Drugstore, however I'm so glad I purchased this foundation and I will definitely be repurchasing it.
The foundation is £25 and I wear the shade NW20. The finish is radiant and gives your skin a dewy finish. It hides all my blemishes and makes my skin look flawless, what more could you want? The foundation has a medium coverage, but it is definitely buildable and you can achieve a medium/full coverage with the smallest amount! I suffer with dry skin as I've mentioned before so I get nervous trying new foundations in case they irritate my skin, however I would highly recommend this foundation as it doesn't dry my skin out at all.
I recently got my hair chopped off and I am in love with the change. I know everyone and their dogs seem to have chopped off their luscious locks recently, and I didn't want to follow the crowd, but I did and I'm so glad. Throughout march I've enjoyed styling my new do! I love how it looks curled, but I also like it straight too. I've enjoyed experimenting with plaits and can't wait to find styles that suit shorter hair.

I have loved wearing my silver star necklace this month. It's so delicate and goes with any outfit. I was given this as a gift for my 21st Birthday as a present from my Nanna who said it's in memory of my Grandad who's a bright star in the sky, and it means a lot to me. The necklace was from a brand called Little Ella.
I am obsessed with sweet potatoes, I could eat them every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner - which is not good, but they are a healthier option that potatoes!! I am trying to lead a healthier diet so have been having sweet potato with steak and salad as a dinner option once a week. If you haven't tried sweet potatoes you definitely should because they will change your life! Oh and the Tgi's sweet potato fries are the bomb!
My University Placement year has been a firm favourite during March. I'm working at a mental health trust in Manchester in the Marketing department and this month the Governor Training event that I helped to organise took place which was a highlight of the month. I put all the work I'd learnt over the past 6 months on placement into practice and the event was a great success.
My final favourite this month has been my diet and fitness. I booked an impulse weekend in the sun with my mum for early May, which means I need to be bikini ready in 4 weeks. I have been trying to cut down on eating crap, and stick to eating pure healthy foods that haven't been processed as well as exercising a couple of times a week. I've been loving the Myplate app to track my calories and what I'm eating which has really helped, and I've also being following the 30 days App.
