Hello everyone!

I must say this every month but hasn't April just flown by! I've discovered a lot of products this month because of the transition from Winter to Spring and can I just say that the transition was pretty amazing from woolly hats to shorts in the blink of an eye! Saying that though, as I write this it's drizzling and grey skies so that didn't last long did it? Without further ado, my favourites Ladies and Gentlemen!

Makeup

I picked up the Estee Lauder Double-Wear Eyeliner in Onyx the other day and it is the perfect 'stay-all-day' liner. Once you've applied it you have about 30 seconds or so to smudge it out a bit or correct it and then you are left with bullet-proof makeup!

As it's Spring now I have amped up my colour game and this blush, Lancome has helped along the way. It's quite a vibrant, candy pink and it does pack a punch but if you apply it with a soft hand it looks really pretty. Also it doesn't have any shimmer in it which, personally, is a bonus.  


Fashion

Spring is here, do you know what that means? The floral Dr. Marten's come out! I love my DM's but you can only really wear them in Spring/Summer so it's always a bit of an event when you can get them out for the first time. 



Skincare

I have been absolutely in love with this GlamGlow Mask! I think it's one of the only masks that you can see an instant effect with, it leaves soft, clear complexion with such a radiant glow. Actually, this was in my You Discovery Advent Calendar so it's only a diddy one but I think I'll be repurchasing it once it runs out!

Music

If you're new here it's important that you know that I have a bit of an obsession with John Mayer, I say a bit but really it's a big! This month I have been listening/watching his Pinkpop 2014 Concert and I think it's the best one I have listened to. It's absolutely seamless and I really recommend it, seriously if you've never listened to him you should (blues-y/rock-y/pop-y kinda vibes).

Random

I started watching the YouTube channel Think Tank a few months ago now but I am seriously loving it right now! To break it down, they take news stories, big and small, and help us make sense of them. They are funny, intelligent and just so good at what they do!

I hope you enjoyed this post, what were your favourites last month? Let me know in the comments!

Hello everyone!

Nails. I can never get them quite right and yet I always do what the tutorials tell me! Here are my struggles and ways I try to prevent them.

Dry and Brittle

Particularly over the Winter months my nails always seem to be breaking, peeling and just not looking good. I've never found a product that completely fixes this but I do think Botanics Hand and Nails Cream does a pretty good job in that department. I also love Sally Hansen's Nail Rehab and a bog-standard nourishing nail-polish remover, they add that little bit more hydration when you need it most.   



Vile Cuticles

There's nothing love-hate about my relationship with my cuticles, I hate them, they're thick and dry and just urgh! Burt's Bees Cuticle Cream is the only thing that has ever worked for me and I seriously swear by it. It leaves them feeling nourished and soft, it smells like lemons too which is always a bonus!



Varnish Application

Simple for some but not for me! I must be either really cack-handed or OCD because I can never seem to get them quite right. One nail is always a tad too thick, another you can see the layers separately and one may aswell be a mucky child's finger painting session. These three things tend to help me out:

1. Always dab the excess off your brush
2. Slow and steady wins the race
3. 3 swipes - Left, Right and Centre
