·April Favourites· 2017

Lately I seem to have fallen into my safe routine, where I don't stray much from the products I know and love, and I keep using the same things over and over again. While it's great that I've finally found a routine that works well for me, there is not much new to talk about in my favoruites posts. However, there were a few gems that stood out this month and today I want to let you know how I feel about them.

BALEA AQUA FEUCHTIGKEITS SERUM

This used to me my favourite moisturizer a few years back. My skin was a bit more oily and I was really weary of using anything on my skin. This serum, however, prooved to be everything I was looking for. Hydrating, quick to absorb and undetectable after it sunk into the skin,.

I found this bottle recently amongst my boyfriends things (another unsuccesful attempt at making him use a moisturizer), and decided to incorporate it back into my skincare routine. These days I like to use it under my usual moisturizer at night and on its own during the day. It provides a bit more moisture to my night time routine and makes for a great makeup base during the day.

With such a budget friendly pricetag and great results, this remains one of the best skincare products I've ever tried.

MARK. by AVON MAGIX FACE PRIMER

Face primers are an area of makeup that I haven't explored much. I found the L'Oreal Infaillible one and stuck with it ever since. But, after attending the event Avon heald for the release of their new mark. line, I recieved a primer in a goodie bag and feel in love with it.

It mattifies the skin, makes my pores look smaller and keeps my skin looking smooth and flawless. Foundations applied on top look great, last longer and do not sink into the pores.

I've prepared a special post dedicated to all the mark. pieces that I've tried, where you'll be able to read more about the primer as well.

L'OREAL PARIS ELSEVE EXTRAORDINARY CLAY CLAY MASK Pre-shampoo treatement

L'Oreal's line for greasy hair with dry ends finally arrived to our durgstores and since I always battle with my greasy prone hair, I was really excited to try it out.

I was happy to find out, that the line does exactly what it promises (which is to keep your hair fresh and clean for at least three days). The most intriguing item from the collection was without the doubt the mask, that you use before washing your hair, to get rid of any excess oils or residue.

You can read all about the mask and other product from the collection in a dedicated blog post here: Review: L'Oreal Elseve Extraordinary Clay.

WET'N'WILD MEGALAST LIP COLOR in Bare It All

These day I rarely experiment with my lipsticks and prefer to stick with my trusty nudes. One that I've been reaching for a lot this month is this affordable Wet'n'Wild Megalast lipstick.

With the formula that could easily stand beside L'Oreal's or even higher end lipstick, this provides opacity, comfort and staying power that should satisfy even the pickiest lipstick wearer. The shade is gorgeous, nude beige that gives my lips something extra, without looking like I am wearing a lot of makeup.

The only downside is a messy and unreliable packaging, but that can be easily overlooked when you consider the great quality and small price tag.

MARK. by AVOn GEL SHINE NAIL ENAMEL in Nudeitude

Another item from Avon's new mark. line, this nailpolish quickly became my go-to, when I couldn't decide what shade to go for.

With a lovely formula and decent staying power, I can see this becoming a staple in my collection. The shade is just a perfectly sophisicated off-white that makes my nails look sophisticated and well maintained.
