April Favourites 2019

April Favourites (Hoola bronzer, Body blur, eyeshadow, liquid shadow, lipstick)

Hopefully this means my favourites can continue on time now, after a disaster with March. It feels weird to write this so late, but better late than never. That’s becoming quite the catchphrase around here. Sadly not the best one to have, but oh well; we got there in the end.

Anyway, enough of that lets get into my April Favourites 2019!

ColourPop | Snake Eyes

This eyeshadow has quickly become one of my favourites. It’s a medium taupe with rosy undertones in a metallic finish. I use this shade all over the lid and it stays in place for hours. There is fall out, but it sweeps away easily. It’s a stunning natural colour, that I love wearing for day time looks.

Benefit | Hoola Bronzer

I’ve had this bronzer for a while, but I tend to stay away from it until the Summer as it is a little too dark. In April I experimented a little with tanning, so I’ve been able to crack this out again. It is a beautiful matte bronzer, that is a medium brown with warm undertones. I’ve been using this to warm my face up and is such a beautiful colour. I tend to struggle with over applying this, so a light hand is needed.

ColourPop | SuperNova Shadow OG

I have been wearing this a lot in April, as it’s such an easy glitter to work with. It applies easily with the paddle brush applicator and lasts all night. I usually struggle with glitter shadow, but this stays in place. Colour-wise it is a golden champagne with silver glitter that’s neutral and goes with anything. If you’re looking for a safe colour then this is it.

Vita Liberata | Body Blur

Vita Liberata body blur

I bought this a while ago, as I thought it would be a good place to start with tanning. Its quick and easy and washes off just as easy. By that I mean, it comes straight off in the shower. I wasn’t prepared to get in the shower tanned and come out looking like my regular milk bottle self. This also doesn’t transfer which is a massive bonus. I have the lightest shade and find that it’s just right for me.

Kiko | 404 Rosy Biscuit Lipstick

I reviewed this lipstick, so I won’t go into too much detail as its all in that post. This lipstick has quickly become one of my favourites, the creamy formula makes it so easy to apply and it feels comfortable on the lips. I love the colour as it is a flattering nude shade, which is pretty much the only type of shades I wear.

Chester 

beer, and mojito

My boyfriend and I decided to have a weekend away over the bank holiday and ended up going to Chester. It’s not too far from us and we made a stop at Cheshire Oaks on the way. We were extremely lucky with the weather too, which was great. I t was an amazing weekend, and I’d love to go back.

There we have my April Favourites 2019! Sorry for it being a bit late, but I hope you enjoyed none the less.

What have you been loving lately?

Thank you for reading!

    Last year, when I was in Italy I bought this lipstick from Kiko. I’m pretty sure that it was the same shade as you use. The lipstick is super creamy and that’s what I like about it most.

    I have Snake Eyes and keep forgetting to use it! It’s such a pretty shade and is so pigmented, but agree there is a bit of fall out from it. I am so intrigued by the zoella x colourpop collection, I’m really tempted to give some of it a try xx

    Oooh these sound so lovely! I added the body blur to my wishlist, I have the bondi sands but it takes too much time having to apply it before showering and all the steps involved so I never use it! I just need something super easy that washes off again hehe 😀 those shades are gorgeous, especially the shadow shade! Now I’m longing to see it swatched! I really must try Colorpop 😀 xx

Real talk family dinner review!🤍 (Gifted/ invite) Real talk family dinner review!🤍
(Gifted/ invite)

We treated the kids to a meal out at weathervanemeirpark this weekend, and the family vibes were lovely. One of the biggest wins was that the staff brought over colouring pages and crayons for both kids without us even having to ask. Which is a lifesaver with two toddlers🥵

Noah and Ella were completely won over by the food. Noah cleared his plate of sausage, chips, and beans, and Ella was living her best life with pasta, corn on the cob, and chips (a toddler dream combo, let’s be real😂)

As for the adults, Jake loved The Big Melt burger. I ordered the Katsu Curry Feast, and we did have a little hiccup where my chicken looked a little pink, but I always judge a place by how they handle mistakes. The staff were absolutely brilliant, replaced it immediately, and even brought over a complimentary drink to apologise. Great customer service honestly makes all the difference.🫶🏻

It’s a super welcoming, stress free spot if you’re looking for somewhere to take the kids this weekend. 

Swipe to the very end to see Ella making sure no ice cream got left behind😂

What’s your ultimate go to meal when you eat out with the family?🍽️

🩵 Father’s Day at @draytonmanor 🩵 Yesterday we he 🩵 Father’s Day at @draytonmanor 🩵

Yesterday we headed to Drayton Manor for the first time, and we absolutely loved it! 🚂

The highlights:

🎢 We managed to hit all the rides we wanted.

⏱️ Queue times were super manageable—the longest we waited was 30 minutes, which is the absolute limit with a 1 and 3-year-old! 😂

🥵 It was too hot to make it to the zoo this time, but with animal-loving toddlers, we will definitely be back to check it out. 🐯

Have you been to Drayton Manor before? 

What’s your ultimate tip for taking toddlers to theme parks in the heat? 👇🏼
