April favourites

The month of April has been my favourite month of the year so far; I've been to London, had a 2 week holiday from school and done my works placement. I feel like I've been completely out of my comfort zone this month yet I've still enjoyed it immensely.

Today I have my first ever 'favourites' blogpost - I can't wait to share some of the things I've been loving this month (even though I'm a few days late!).

My first favourite is the Barry M nail varnish in the shade 'Berry I/C'. It's a lovely lilac colour that's perfect for spring. While I was in London I even got a compliment about it from a shop assistant in MAC! I wore this colour for the majority of April and will continue to use it throughout the coming months of spring and summer. 

My next favourite is another beauty favourite - it's the Collection Lasting Perfection concealer. I purchased it this month and I kicked myself for not purchasing it sooner! It's a brilliant concealer with a lot of coverage and it's blendable to make your face look as natural as possible (I bought mine a shade too dark so this is essential). Although, I wasn't able to take a new photo of it for this post since all of the writing on the packaging has come off in less than two weeks! I'm not sure why it happened but I've seen it happen to several others as well - this is the only flaw with the product!

My next favourite is a watch that I bought from New Look for £9.99. I bought this for London - so I wouldn't have to constantly get my phone out to check the time - and I haven't stopped wearing it since. It's the ideal size and looks really cute when I wear it with my River Island bracelet.

This month I read the book Paper Towns by John Green and thoroughly enjoyed it, hence it is my next April favourite. It was about a boy named Q (Quentin) who searches for his crush Margo when she disappears. I was planning on writing a more in depth review of the book which I will hopefully get round to doing at some point!

I've decided to pick my favourite 'YouTuber' of the month too, and this month it's essiebutton. I LOVE her videos, so I'd recommend watching a few if you haven't already.

My final favourite of this month is a food favourite. It's the cereal Curiously Cinnamon. I've never been much of a Cinnamon lover in the past but as soon as I tried this cereal I fell in love and haven't stopped eating it since!

That's everything I've been loving during the past month, I hope you enjoyed this post - a new one should be up soon. I've been super busy with school work recently so for now I might only be able to post once a week (probably on a Sunday) so keep looking out for a new blogpost then.
