The April edition! (You can find the post from January here.)

I’ve switched a few things around in my routine recently, mainly due to the onset of warmer weather but also because I’ve been delving into my stash and rediscovering some wonderful products. I do love reading these lists. They always inspire me to check out at least one new product.

Shampoo: I’m still loving Kerastase Reflection Bain Chroma Riche (for coloured hair, it’s the pink one) but I need to find something to alternate this with as I don’t like to use the same shampoo constantly for fear that my hair will get used to it and it will stop working.

Conditioner: Kerastase Reflection Masque Chroma Riche. This conditioner is simply amazing, possibly the best I’ve used.

Styling products: I’m still using Kerastase Nutritive Creme Sublimateur Jour. I adore the way this makes my hair look and feel, so soft and silky. I always apply some V05 volumising mousse to my roots before I blow dry and finish with a spritz of Elnette hairspray. I’ve also started using some products from the John Frieda Frizz-Ease range. I’m really impressed with the Heat Defeat Protective Spray which I apply whenever I use my straighteners. The 100% Shine Glossing Mist is wonderful too, especially as I’m sporting an attractive halo of baby hair at the moment! Hey, at least it’s stopped falling out and I know it will grow eventually!

Shower Gel: I never stop using Lush’s Olive Branch but I’m also using their Turkish Delight body polish (which is heaven applied with an exfoliating glove) and Figs and Leaves soap which smells delicious and is packed full of aloe vera and fresh mashed figs.

Body Moisturiser: Lush Dream Cream, sun cream or the Dove one with a hint of fake tan.

Deodorant: A Dove stick that claims to leave no white marks. FAIL.

Eye make-up remover: The camomile one from The Body Shop. It’s okaaaaay… meh!

Cleanser: Avene Extremely gentle cleanser. Very impressed with this so far.

Toner: Guerlain Super Aqua-Lotion. Heaven in a bottle.

Moisturiser: Lush Vanishing Cream (amazing, been using this for a couple of years now) or an Olay one which has SPF.

Eye Cream: Origins Gin-Zing. Love this stuff.

Foundation: Lily Lolo minerals almost all the time.

Powder: MAC MSF Natural or Blot powder.

Concealer: Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer for the under eye area and Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place for blemishes (of which there are plenty).

Blush: MAC Pink Swoon (I’ve hit pan) or NARS Deep Throat.

Bronzer: I only own the BarryM one and I have been using it recently. I’d like to try something new this summer though… NARS perhaps or a Dior one.

Highlighter: MAC Moonriver GrandDuo. I love this product, it look so pretty with Deep Throat. It looks fabulous worn high on the cheekbones and lightly on the cupids bow. Shame it was LE.

Eye Shadows: MAC Vex is getting as much love as ever but I’m also loving Smoke & Diamonds, Phloof and All That Glitters.

Mascara: Max Factor Masterpiece Max.

Lipstick: MAC Ever Hip <3

Lip Gloss: All the spring/summer Revlon Super Lustrous glosses as well as Chanel glosses in ‘Mica’ and ‘Candy Glow’.

Nail Colour: I’ve been changing my mani/pedi a lot recently so I don’t really have a firm favourite at the moment but I wouldn’t be without Revlon’s Minted and One Perfect Coral or Chanel Particuliere.
