my first favorite of this month is
orange and pineapple squash which is
just divine hello everybody welcome back
to my channel in today's video I'm going
to be doing my April favorites April
literally vanished before my eyes and
the same thing is happening with May I
don't know how we're almost halfway
through May we are halfway through May
well halfway through May already and I
haven't done my April favorites yet so
I'm gonna do it now but these are also
kind of some early May favorites as well
it's kind of a bit of a mixture but I
will also do am a favorites too because
I know there's a lot of you out there
that really love my favorites videos
which makes me so happy because there
are also some of my favorites to watch
but I know that they're quite repetitive
but you still like them which makes me
very happy I haven't touched up my
makeup today I put it on hours ago so I
hope it's okay I am about to tell you
what I've got on so if you think this
looks good after hours and hours of wear
then I will show you the products that I
have on to achieve this look first thing
I'm gonna throw it to my favorites just
because I do want to wear them for the
video and these earrings from Zara I
love them they look so cool they're very
like tropical they're big like is it
monstera leaves like the plant or maybe
it's like a cheese Brantly if I'm not
really sure I could be getting that very
wrong all I've got earrings in I should
have taken those option knife the only
thing that makes me so sad about those
earrings oh they're from Zara by the way
but the only thing that makes me really
sad about them is they're so heavy if
they were made with life to metal or
they were slightly thinner or I don't
know they need to be thinner basically
but re love them but because they're
quite heavy they've really sad my ears
which is why I haven't been wearing them
all day and why I wear them for this
video and then I
take them out I basically wear them
absolutely love what they look like when
I'm wearing them and then after a while
I take them out just in case because
like as you can see they really pull on
my ears but I just love let me look like
I'm very tropical today I feel like I
should have a coconut in my hand and a
pineapple on my head starting off with
Beauty favorites oh where do I start so
skin wise re have been having some
troubles with my skin recently more so
than normal if I am having like a photo
day or I've got like back-to-back
meetings or a particularly long day I
will wear my Kat Von D locket foundation
because you just know it's like
foolproof and it will like stay on all
day but more recently I've also been
using Bare Minerals original SPF 15
powder foundation this was actually the
very first foundation
I bought and wore properly when I say
properly I mean before that I was just
using kind of concealers that I would
blend but I think I was about seventeen
actually sixteen seventeen and me and
mum were watching the shopping channel I
think one day and it was on the shopping
channel back in 2007 and we ordered some
we both placed a massive order on bare
essentials makeup and the rest is
history I loved it
I didn't have problem skin back then in
fact I had fairly lovely skin which now
I can really look back and appreciate
but bare essentials of bare minerals was
my first proper foundation I would get
through tubs and tubs of this stuff I
feel like I did talk about it briefly
when I when I first started like YouTube
and blogging I was using this so I feel
like there might be some really really
old blog posts where I talk about this
and some of the other mineral products
like the bronzers and the blushes and
the concealers they are all amazing
I have never used a mineral product that
has come anywhere close to this so I was
like and I've got sent this in my peer
box recently and I thought you know what
I'm gonna try it my skin is the worst
it's ever been it might not be enough
coverage I don't know but let's give it
a try so I'm still using my collection
concealer like everywhere on my face and
then I'm blending it in with the powder
foundation and I have been loving it
this is also the brush that comes with
it I don't know if this comes with it
but this is a bare minerals brush and
it's the beautiful finish brush it's
kind of got like this dip in it I am the
shade fair ivory 0-2 they have tons of
shades so you know you can't really go
wrong there but also I just think I
don't know like you would think a
mineral foundation wouldn't give you
would think a mineral foundation would
not give you enough coverage but somehow
it does and somehow it makes your skin
look healthy and glowy and dewy without
it being a liquid like it's all I've got
on today and obviously highlight and
bronzer but skin wise this is the
foundation I have on right now been
reunited with my loved the bearment bare
minerals something really well surely
another thing I've been really enjoying
using is this which is the Bobbi Brown
tinted eye brightener ah my did I talk
about this in my in one of my other
videos recently I don't know when I
spoke about this did I put it on in my
makeup look I think I did my makeup
artist always uses this on me in shoots
and I needed to get some because every
time she used it I was like I need to
get this because it always makes massive
difference to under your eyes I get
quite dark circles under my eyes I
always have I assume I always well but
there are multiple different products
that I really enjoy using that are
illuminating and brightening and make
all the difference even with concealer
on as well so I do all my makeup I put
my concealer on under my eyes and then I
put this on and blend this out and it
just completely bright
it just makes your eyes look awake and
healthy and I love it it's very liquidy
and it has quite a strong sadness it
kind of smells like it shouldn't be
going anywhere near your eyes but I like
it so I've been doing something very
different with my brows recently
something that I didn't really know was
a thing but I got certain this Makeup
Forever aqua brow gel it's a brown
squeezy gel and I put a little blob of
this on the back of my hand I then get
my angled brush dip it in and fill my
brows in with a gel and I really like it
I feel like it lasts longer it somehow
looks more natural I think even though
you would imagine this to not look
natural at all because it's essentially
painting your eyebrows it does look more
natural and it's so easy to apply
honestly when I got sent this I was like
what a fiddly product there is no way I
am gonna be using a gel every time to do
my brows I just it was I thought it
would literally be like trying to paint
my eyebrows every day and that it would
be messy and it would be really easy to
get it wrong
no it's so easy and they last all day
they stay in place it looks natural this
perfectly was exactly the right color I
needed and I don't know I it's made
doing my eyebrows so much quicker and
like right now is not a good time to
like show it either because I am do a
thread
they are like super like massive sorry
slugs on my eyes on my eyes on my head
and it's waterproof which is why I think
it's so great and lasts all day
next product I have been obsessed with
is this oh this is a sample it doesn't
even say like what it is that's so
annoying this is an Estee Lauder bronze
goddess product which I believe is
either out now or is coming out soon but
this is like a new release and it is the
most gorgeous shimmery gold highlighter
bronzor you will ever see when I first
got this I thought when am I ever gonna
use a shiny gold powder like I either
use bronzer or I use highlight I don't
know when I'll ever use a shiny gold
like it's literally metallic gold but I
have been using it and I really really
like it it makes your skin look like
sunkissed and like glowy and dewy oh
there's someone at the door Weis always
happen when I need to film I really love
this it's beautiful it's very summery
and glowy and I will be for sure taking
this away with me on my son holidays
another thing I have really loved is
this Charlotte Tilbury palette oh my god
it's so good look at all my grubby
fingerprints on it you get three eye
colors so you've got the brightening the
enhancing and the smoking which is like
a matte brown you get your face bronzed
face highlight and two cheek colors as
you can see I have been using this a lot
I use this every day to do everything
this one in particular I love this kind
of matte brown I just kind of blend over
my whole eyelid I'm kind of enjoying
just a smoky matte eye at the moment and
the bronzer I really like as well I just
use that on this bit and I like to use
this very bright kind of pop of pink and
then the highlighter so I've pretty much
been using this entire palette and I
love it so thank you for making this
Charlotte Tilbury I feel like this is
going to save a lot of people because
you don't need to take multiple products
in a handbag or away with you you can
literally just use this is definitely
made my makeup bag a lot lighter so this
cream came into my p.o box from cult
Beauty I believe so thank you for a
March and it is the soul Gennaro Gennaro
song genera Sol de Janeiro
jyllian bum bum cream firstly I love the
packaging so much secondly I love the
name of the product it's kind of
gimmicky I really like it
bum bum cream like who came up with that
I loved it and I wasn't really too sure
if this was just for your bum or if this
is a moisturiser for your whole body
turns out it is a moisturiser for
anywhere I've pretty much used half of
it already so one thing that you guys
know I really hate when I moisturize my
body is that feeling of being a bit
sticky not being able to get dressed and
if you do get dressed it sort of makes
you feel a bit sweaty like I don't know
if you know what I mean especially if
it's a bit warm outside it's like it
never really soaks in and it kind of
just sits there being all sticky all day
this is the fastest absorbing
moisturizer in this kind of texture it's
kind of like a butter and a moisturizer
it's kind of a mixture of the two but
it's so fast absorbing it's insane like
it properly I even put it on and when
feel my arm feel my arm it's gone so
I've been putting this on every day
after the shower or after the bath and
even Alfie has commented on how soft my
skin is which goes to show that he
really has noticed also the smell of
this when I first fit this on I was like
I already own something that smells like
this what do I own that smells this good
and it smells just like a laura mercier
cream maybe the ombre vanilla and it's
also very strong smell and you can smell
it like on your skin after you've put it
on which I really really like sticking
with kind of bath shower and body I've
been really loving this it's not really
all that often that I'll put a shower
gel in my favorites just because I
pretty much love any shower gel I ever
use like I don't know
can there be terrible things wrong with
a shower gel I don't really think I can
but the reason I really love this is the
scent it is amazing
this is the and Other Stories floral
momento body wash I also love that it
comes in a pump because it's just super
easy to use in the shower it smells
heavenly
oh it's like a floral garden like every
time I use is it just makes me happy
because it's like spring and summer in a
bottle and then it's just very smoothing
and it does the job and I feel clean and
I smell great so I'm loving this and
last but by no means least is one of my
own products which I try not to kind of
rave about too much just because I think
you got I don't want you guys to be like
okay we get it
but I genuinely do use and love my
products which shouldn't really come as
much of a surprise to any of you I
recently finished this is completely
empty I need to start a new one and this
is the scooper duper which was released
towards the end of last year kind of
September October time and it is a
foaming bath soak I wanted it in a tub
like this because I kind of love either
like pouring it under running water or
just taking your hand and scooping out a
nice big wad of bubble bar and just
holding it under the running water but
honestly like there is nothing else I
use that creates bubbles like these this
does the best bubbles and actually more
recently I have been quite accustomed to
a bubble bath as opposed to like an
all-singing all-dancing colorful fizzy
bath I've been going for bubbles which I
don't know I'm just in a bubbly mood so
that is why I have used a whole tub of
this and I love it
and I love the smell it's still one of
my favorite scents I've ever ever done
and yeah just makes the best bubbles
it's fresh it's nice it leaves my skin
feeling so soft and I love it
what else have I been loving this month

Essex
