The Best of April

With April passing us by and May now full steam ahead, I feel this is a perfect time to talk about my favourite products of the last month!

First up is my Goldfaden Doctor Scrub. I like a good scrubby scrub. A manual, sandpaper (almost) feeling exfoliator (ok maybe not sandpaper, but you get the picture). The Goldfaden Doctor Scrub is the exfoliator I dream about. The texture is so creamy and gritty that I feel as though my skin is brand new after I use this. It is formulated with Hyaluronic Acid so your skin doesn't ever feel dry or tight after use, and dare I say that my skin looks brighter and just better in general afterwards as well! The only down side I noticed was a few little whiteheads the day after but it hasn't happened since the first time I used this, so that is a relief because this scrub is so dreamy!

This isn't a brand new favourite but I love when MAC brings out these limited edition fix+ sprays ( my favourite is coconut!). They are great to have as a refresher during the day and the perfect size to chuck in my hand bag! There most common use though is to spray over the top of makeup to help settle your makeup to make everything look a little more set!

The ordinary skincare is fast becoming one of my new favourite skin care brands. The price for the quality of product is insane. I have fallen in love with the Niacinimide and zinc serum for redness and breakouts and I'll tell you what... it has been working a treat! This Works Sleep Plus Pillow Spray is awesome for people who struggle with falling asleep and staying asleep. I have been telling everyone how much better I sleep and that I fall asleep quicker and I feel more refreshed the morning after I use this spray. I have been using The Balm and Co mist as my toner after cleansing at night and before moisturiser in the morning for the last month. This toner is meant to help with breakouts and help subside any rednessin the skin and I honestly think it does everything it claims to! I also love using this over the top of makeup to help take away any powdery finish left once I set my base.

Korres Wild Rose Oil is a potent vitamin C oil that helps brighten and balance the skins oil flow! I use this on my beauty blender if I want my foundation thinned out and my base a little more Jlo (that means glowy for those of you who don't know jlo's signature base). Colourpop Lippie Stix have been giving my lips life right now! The texture is matte but super comfortable and the lasting power is incredible. Plus they don't make my lips look like dried prunes by the end of the day. I've been a fan of Glossier for a while now but have never been able to get any products here in Australia. So when Matt and I went to New York in January I took my chance to buy and try a few products. I am lucky enough to have family in California and had my cousin send me a few new products recently and I'm in love just like I was with my first purchase. The Boy Brow fills and holds the brows in place like no other and the Cloud Paint in 'Puff' gives my skin the most perfect natural flush of colour. I find it hard to find a blush I love but I can tell you that this is definitely love between Cloud Paint and I. Who isn't a fan of sheet masks? They the best way to relax after a long day. Patchology is a new brand that I have tried and I am really enjoying there products. I've tried their lip and eye masks, but the real stand out for me was their hydrating sheet mask. My skin felt plump and revitalised after I took this off and actually made my skin look more even the next day. Any product that makes my skin look brighter in the morning is a winner in my books!
