So it’s once again the end of April and it’s the beginning of may and I can say this month has just came and gone, I feel like I've done so much in so little time and now It’s may and my exams start in about one or two weeks, I'm terrified as I still haven't started any revision yet, but anyway here are some of my beauty and fashion favourites from April.

This is an overview of all of my beauty favourites of the month.

So to start with I got the Maybelline Falsies, I watch a lot of Youtubers on YouTube especially fashion and beauty youtubers, including both Tanya Burr and Zoella and every time I always hear about the Maybelline Falsies. I've been dying to try this but I've always put it off getting it, but I finally got it at the beginning of April and I have loved it since. It gives the lashes a dramatic but natural look.

My next favourite is from Lush, this month especially I have fell in love with Lush and their products but I have especially loved the Bunch of Carrots which I got for Easter. I've had the for the entire month and I still haven't gone through one carrot, so they last a long time and they smell amazing and of course even though it’s a bubble wand it still leaves your skin refreshed and soft.

this favourite I have had for months but have mainly been using over the last two weeks since I went back to school last week, my lips have been getting dry from talking a lot and generally just from being in school all day, so I’ve been using the Maybelline Baby Lips hydrate and I even put this on as a layer then apply my Mac Dazzle Glass Lip Gloss on top, This lip gloss is pretty good it doesn't last the full eight hours it should but it still lasts a long time.

So that was my beauty favourites so here are some of my fashion favourites for the month. To start with I'll start with my favourite footwear of the month which it my Grey Ankle Boots from River Island. This boots I've had for three years now and they're kind of a re-discovery and I wear them with everything, I think they just fit and they're extremely comfortable to wear.

This favourite I included in one of my blog posts a few weeks ago and it’s this Half black half Grey top from Newlook, this top I’ve fell in love with I know it’s spring and I should be wearing pastels and lighter colours but this top it’s really light and quite thin so it’s nice for the hotter days but I really can't wait to wear it when I go to college.

 My final favourite is my new jeans from Urban Outfitters they're called Black cigarette cuffed jeans and I got them in their sale for £20 they were originally £45 and I love them, I find it hard to find a pair of jeans that fit perfectly around both the waist and the legs but these jeans I found they are a perfect fit and for being skinny jeans they are incredibly soft and comfortable and since they're plain back they're suitable for both going out during the day or going out for a meal.

(not my photo i couldn't get a good photo of them) 

i have one last favourite but it’s not a beauty or a fashion favourites it’s a film, I went to see this during my Easter holidays and I can say that it was brilliant film there wasn't a single boring moment. It’s Divergent, I'm in love with it and it’s made me think a lot about fear since I saw it. I know, I know it’s stupid but i got my inspiration for my last post from the film. But if you haven't seen this film I recommend that you do. I'm not going to spoil anything but I wrote a blog post about the film, which I'll link below.

Shopping Divergent and Nandos: 

So these were my favourites of April favourites, let me know below in the comments what your favourites of the month were and I'll update next Saturday

Shopping, Divergent and Nandos

So yesterday I had a day out with my mum, which I haven't had in a long time and it was really nice to finally have a mother, daughter day it was very fun and relaxing and the weather great the sun was out and it was pretty warm out. Which is showing that it is actually spring! And I'm praying that the weather will pick up and stay hot and sunny longer especially for the summer.

So as the title suggests I did go shopping, I ended up going to Silverlink where there are a few shops at a retail park. I ended up going into Newlook, H&M, Boots and Next.  I ended up only buying things from H&M, Newlook and boots and I spent £18 oops!. It may not seem like I spent much but I spent £35 on Saturday when I went into town. Here some of the things I bought,

Newlook (£12.99) this tops is quite unique it’s mixed materials. The front is black and I'm not sure what the material is but it’s very light, whilst the back is grey and it’s a jersey material. It’s quite plain and simple but at the same time it’s quite smart but casual.

Boot’s- L'Oreal Paris Skin perfection purifying micellar solution (£3.33)  boots have a deal on this at the moment where you save 1/3 on selected L'Oreal Paris skincare so this should have originally been £4.99 so it’s a good deal and I actually tried this as soon as I got home and one thing I can say is I’m not going to be using make up wipes any more. This stuff feels so much gentler on the skin. It took me two make up pads to remove my entire make up but I didn't use much of the solution. I think I’m definitely going to have to get some more of this.

 After killing  time in the shops and walking around it was finally time for us to go to the cinema where I got to see Divergent! I actually saw a trailer for this film when I went to see The Hunger Games Catching Fire and since then I have wanted to see it and I can definitely say it was just as good as the trailer makes it look. I even think it’s better than the Hunger Games. I mean the film does have that Hunger Games vibe to it, but I also think that it could be compared a little to The Host but that might just be my own opinion.

After the film (which was around 8pm) I was starving I didn't really eat much all day I had a small bowl of porridge in the morning and a Bagel for Lunch, and a small popcorn I was pretty hungry by 8pm, so I convinced my mum (more like flipped a coin) to go to Nandos. It was either this or Bella Italia so we flipped the coin and it landed on tails which was Nandos.

This was actually my first time at Nando’s so I went with the chicken breast fillet wrap and I had it medium spiced and it was amazing! I had a side of spicy rice on the side and of course I had to snap chat a picture of it and the restaurant  which is down below, but I was the perfect spice and perfect portion. The atmosphere in Nandos as well was just amazing it was so calm, but it was so happy and fun, the music was great and fitted well with the theme and I want to go back so badly it’s been less than a day and I'm having withdrawal problems.

(Sorry these photos were took off my iphone)

I eventually got home after a busy day and the first thing I did was take my makeup off and jumped straight in the shower and got into my PJ’s and since doing so I have sat in bed watching a bit of Buffy the vampire slayer, YouTube videos and doing nothing. But today has been an amazing day and I've loved the time  I spent with my mum since I never really get days together it was nice and I can't wait to have more days like this.
