April Favourites!

April is drawing to an end and I haven't done many monthly favourite posts of my blog yet. So todays post is my favourite products of April!

1) Urban Decay Naked Palette: Sin
 Sin is a really nice light champagne colour and I love it! Perfect for just a sweep of colour over the lids and it has amazing staying power! I got my Naked Palette from Beautybay.com

 
Clinique Cream Shaper for the Eyes: Brown
 This eyeliner is brown so its not to intense but I just love the way it glides on and lasts majority of the day without smudging.
 
Maybelline Illegal Lengths Mascara
 This is by far my favourite mascara out of the ones I've tried so far. As the name suggests it gives nice length and also separation.
 
Mac Mineralised Skin Finish Natural
I haven't been really wearing to much makeup these past holidays and when I do I just use concealer and this powder. I love it, It's actually nearly run out! :( I use this to set my concealer/foundation and I find it gives a nice, natural, light coverage.
 
So hopefully you like these favourites because I plan to do them most months! Feel free to leave any comments!

Ombre Hair

I love the look of ombre hair and the trend is quite popular. I've had my hair ombre twice one was proffesionally done the other time I did it myself for only $18! They both looked the same and personally I prefer to do it myself.
 
 
This is my DIY Ombre


I prefer to use a highlighting kit for my ombre rather than the typical blond dyes. They are made for highlighting dark hair where the other blonde dyes are for blondes. I have noticed many more different highlighting kits are coming out and the one I prefer is the Clairol Frost and Tip.
I didn't really follow a specific method, I just sectioned my hair into 4, applied the dye and wrapped them in foils. I left the dye on for roughly 20mins. Each hair type is different and I recommend checking the hair every so often.
I hope you enjoyed this post and feel free to leave any comments!

Beauty Storage

Hey! Sorry for not posting in ages This is how I store my makeup. There are so many different storage solutions out there between many different price ranges.


Lipstick Holder
 I bought this Acryllic  lipstick holder for $5 from Target and can hold 9. You can buy many and stack them together.
 
Plastic Drawer Unit
I use this 3 drawer to store hair products and lotions. I keep this under my dressing table. These can be purchased from many different stores.


Dressing Table
This dressing table is from Ikea and it has a glass top which is good for removing makeup stains/nailpolish. It also has a decent sized draw which is good for storage. This costed $200.
