My mum got The Body Shop Strawberry Body Polish in a set for Christmas and she's not really a fan of body scrubs, so I kindly took it off her hands for her! It's such a nice product because it had tiny scrub particles in it as well as strawberry seeds and it lathers up like a body wash too, so it is a 2-in-1 product, which is always a good thing! I don't usually like strawberry scented things as I don't like any artificial strawberry products like sweets and scents and things, but I love this so much!
I bought the Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer after I had heard so many YouTubers talk about it and I love love love it, it is my favourite concealer ever! The best thing as well is that it is so cheap as well! I love it so much and I really don't think I will find another concealer that I love as much as this - let's just hope they don't discontinue it for a very long time!
I've been using the Revlon ColourStay Makeup for quite a while but I started to go off it and then it ran out and I never repurchased it. But I did buy another one at the beginning of March and I really love it again! I realised that why I didn't love it as much a few months back is because I used so much product that it made my skin look and feel horrible, and also I never used a moisturiser before applying it. Now I'm using smaller amounts and I buff it straight into freshly moisturised skin which keeps the skin looking a lot more like skin!
Another item that I've had for a while that I've come to like again is the No7 Shine Free Makeup Base - I went off this when I started wearing the Revlon ColourStay because it is a demi matte finish, the primer is a matte finish so they weren't too great together. However, I realised a few weeks back that it's probably good thing to wear moisturiser under your foundation so the primer isn't as bad under that foundation. However, last week I was ill and had a cold so my skin was super dry and disgusting, so wearing a matte primer and a demi matte foundation just made my skin even more disgusting so that was the only time this month that I didn't like them together!
Another item that I've had for ages but only really started loving again is the Benefit Eye Bright. Now I got the Benefit Confessions of a Concealaholic kit as a birthday present a couple years ago and I really liked the Eye Bright which was in that, but the extent of me using it was as an inner corner highlight. Anyway, I bought the actual pencil version with a Boots voucher that I got on my last birthday, but I'd only actually used it a couple times until a couple of weeks ago when I watched a YouTube video from MakeupByTiffanyD where I think she was explaining how she gets rid of her dark circles. So basically she applied her foundation and then applied the Eye Bright under her eyes, blended it and then applied her under eye concealer over the top - the pink of the Eye Bright counteracts the blue of under your eyes making it brighter and more neutral. I tried this and it really helped so Eye Bright is one of my key makeup staples now!
Okay, so I don't really have many things in my favourites this month, but I've not really bought anything new; I'm hoping that next month's and May's favourites will be a lot better because I'm getting my MAC Pro discount in the next couple weeks so I will be having some spending sprees so I'll do a haul post when I have time to go to the MAC store! Eeee, I'm so excited, MAC is amazing!
Alrighty, I hope you're staying happy, healthy and safe, and you're having a great day whatever you're doing!
Lots of love xx
