Flo's April 2014 Favourites!

Whaaaattt??!? Another month passed by again?? I'm so sick of having the same starter line every month but I am seriously unaware of how fast time is passing! :O

Here are a few of my favourite things in the month of April 2014:



1. Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery BB with SPF 50 PA +++


But of course, the Biore aqua BB!! I have been enjoying this a little too much - check the full review up here. Even on days I'm planning to use other heavier face products, I'll still put a layer of this on :) I super love the brightening effect it gives. Just subtle one enough to make my skin tone more even!

2. Laneige BB Cushion


Same goes for the Laneige BB Cushion. I have no regrets purchasing this at all. It amazes me how can something of such light coverage gives off such a nice overall look on my skin? I mean, my scars aren't in their most horrible state. In fact most of them have faded away a lot, but I still have them and this makes them less hideous even though it doesn't cover at all? It's really strange!! I used to live by this "go big or go home" reasoning and I'd only use heavy coverage base products cuz what's the point of using light ones? Hahah. This totally changed my mind. Super duper love it. And the smell... THE SMELL IS SUPER LOVE LA!!!

3. Base Routine Tools: 
Real Techniques Buffing Brush and Detailer Brush, Beauty Blender


These three have been my go to tools for any base products!! I'd use the buffing brush for Biore Aqua BB and any drier products. The Beauty Blender for any creamier base like my BB creams. The detailer brush is a game changer!! I've always hated cream concealers but this brush made it so easy for me to apply all my cream concealers!! I pair this up with my MAC Studio Finish concealer in NC 15 on my hyper pigmentation scars and also sometimes to brighten my under eye areas ^^

4. Maybelline HyperCurl Volum' Express Mascara


I've also been enjoying this mascara! I'm very greedy and most of the time I want the best of everything - that's why I'd use a lenghtening mascara AND volumizing one after to achieve the best set of lashes. This month though, I went for a much toned down look cause I got lazy and this is my go to mascara cause it gives my a lot of volume and I also look like I have eyeliner on since it's so black haha. Killing two birds with one stone.

5. Topshop Powder Blush in Good Girl


This is my first Topshop make-up product! I don't know why but somehow I always forget that Topshop has a make-up line. Bought this cause I was with Pea and she's been wanting to get this colour. I got it too in the end. I love how it gives a very sheer pink glow on my cheeks and I really like it for an everyday look. This can be like an overall cheek colour while you go in with a more intense pink on the apples on the cheeks.

6. Real Techniques Blush Brush


As you can tell, I'm pretty obsessed with Real Techniques brushes. I prefer synthetic brushes to natural hair cause it's stiffer and I feel like I can control it better. My Sigma brush is always shedding :( Anyway, initially I thought this will be too big for cheeks but actually it's not! I guess I have big cheeks, haha. I've stuck to angled blush brush since forever and this rounded one is something refreshing. Picks up products well and very easy to use :)


That's all for my favourites in April! Hope you've enjoyed reading this post. What are your favourites for April? Let us know!

Flo.
