April Favourites 2012 | Zoella

hi um so today is an extremely miserable day it's raining and it's gray um so the lighting is pretty poopy I've had to put like a really yellow light on so right now I look super orange with like a pale chest that does look very strange it's because I'm sat directly under a yellow light so I apologize for that but it was either that or or very very dark I'm going to do um a monthly favorites video and I don't often do these because I tend to use the same products pretty much all the time apart from obviously if I find something that I super super love and then in which case I will obviously let you guys know I think the last time I did a favorites was like a July or a June favorites like last year but I might start doing these a bit more regularly now I have started using a lot more products branching out using things that I don't normally use I've just got sort of shoved away in my stash um and yeah so I just thought I would update you and let you know my April favorites because I have loved a lot of new things this month and also these are like my favorite kinds of videos to watch because I don't know I'm going to start with um something that I've just recently done a blog post on actually which I'll link uh below if you want to go and read that and it is a candle now I am quite the candle lover um I do love a good candle I like to light candles all the time um I feel that they not only just make things smell delicious but they lift your mood and make you feel happier and more relaxed so the candle that I been absolutely loving is this neon candle um it's neon Organics is the brand um will put it out there this is quite a pricey candle this is made with vegetable wax and pure essential oils um as opposed to you know um your fake sort of scents like synthetic scents that they'll put in which often burn black so so this literally burns like a dream as you can see you don't get the hard wax around the side that you get with most candles which always irritates me because I feel like it's such a waste like a candle will always burn down through the center and you'll have that horrible bit all around the outside which never tends to burn and then you try and Chip it off the side and push it down and then there's too much wax and then it swallows up the Wick and then it's all very messy but this has been burning for ages and it smells amazing this has white neuroi mimosa and lemon in it so I could sniff this just all day I'm scared to burn it to the bottom because then I'll just have to cry I am going to buy another one though definitely the next thing is um a blush Trio and it is by sleek you can see it there oops like showing you the rest of my house these are called Sleek blush by three I think and there are lots and lots of different colors to choose from I have lace which is 367 and the colors are chantilli gooper gu UI p u r don't know what that means and crochet I think I'm doing that the right way if I'm not then it's the other way but it doesn't actually really say this is um absolutely amazing palette and it's so affordable it's I think it's $9.99 for three blushes um and the color that I have been wearing in a lot of my videos I've got it on today I wear this one just the orangey Peach um with that on top because the middle one has a really gorgeous um goldish Shimmer through it it kind of reminds me a lot of deep throat by Nas do a little Swatch Fe there can you see how bright that is didn't think this through they're super super pigmented literally you need such a light hand when you're applying these because a lot comes off um plus they're super affordable and they're available in super drug so they're easy to get a hold of and you're not breaking the bank if you don't like it um and also there's so many colors to choose from and I really think that these three complement each other quite well um so yes absolutely loving that pretty much wearing it every single day next thing I've been loving is Top Shop nail polishes um I also did a blog post on this if you want to read more about it I'll put it in the um description box namely the Glitters um I have a pink glitter which is called adrenaline um just a silver sort of holographic which is ice crush and then the mort say sort of like a more Bluey purple toned one which is rasz just to get the idea um they have huge chunks of holographic glitter in them and they just look gorgeous on the nails um I really like the size of Top Shop nail polishes because I don't think that you'd ever waste them because they're not so big that you might not use them all the time um but they're not like absolutely tiny um I just think they're the perfect size and I think I believe they're around 5 to six depending on the sorts of ones you get I think the glittery ones are6 but the more plain ones are5 I just love the cute packaging I just love everything about that currently have just a white nail polish with the glitter on top you won't be able to see because I'm too far away but but um yeah I really really really love these and they look super pretty on your toes too just to brighten up these horrible dull supposed to be spring but is definitely not Spring weather um another product which I've been loving so much that I now have four of them are the um pixie endless silky eye pencils I was first introduced to these by Louise when we went to boots in m and keing together and she had been to a pixie press event um which I was invited to but I couldn't go um and she said you need to ch's eye pencils you will absolutely love them and she drew them on my hand in Boots and I was like wo when they say silky they mean silky like these just draw on so creamy and so easily um they just they're just an absolute dream to use I absolutely love them I've got four colors now there is a sort of uh shimmery bronze color which is called Cafe gold a really really dark matte Brown which is is called black cocoa which is my favorite and that's number four number nine which is oyster glow which is a gorgeous sort of champagney um pinky color and just plain black which is black noir they go on easily uh there's nothing worse I find than an eye pencil that drags your eye I just think they smudge really nicely but once You' once they're set they don't budge they don't go anywhere I wear them every day absolutely love them I cannot recommend these holy enough he sticking with makeup uh the next one is a foundation now I am going to do a whole video it may have to be two because I've tried out so many of um High Street SL drugstore SL Pharmacy whichever you want to say oh look I've just shown you what it is because I just thought I want to see if there are any decent High Street foundations and share my thoughts with you guys so I have bought quite a lot um and I'm going to do a separate video on them but I just thought I would just show you this one because I absolutely love it and it is is the rimel Wake Me Up Foundation anti fatigue effect and radiant glow and I completely agree with absolutely everything it says on the bottom I have it in shade true Ivory which is 103 I think I've used about half of this up like you can see it's all like disappearing from the side I would say this is medium coverage but it's buildable so you could put more on and get a bit more coverage out of it but I just think it's perfect and also it smells amazing too it smells like fruit I don't know it smells nice going on to like skin care and skin things now um I am loving this vichi or vichi or vichi I'm not how however I kind of want to say vichi I'm going to go vichi I think it's a French brand anyway so maybe they pronounce it like is the refreshing cleansing milk now I love my lizo cleanse and polish I use it all the time um but I was introduced to this and I absolutely love it a cleansing milk which you put onto a cotton pad and then just rub it across your whole face and you don't have to wash with water or anything so for those nights where I'm sort of lying in bed and I'm thinking oh I just can't bothered to go and wash my face and don't lie we all have moments like that you can pretend that you don't but I know you do or maybe when you've not been wearing so much makeup and you just and you know that you probably don't need to cleanse and polish um or just for a refresh like sometimes I don't wear makeup at all during the day if I'm like sort of pottering around and doing things there's no need to have a full face makeup but it's quite nice to just refresh during the day and keep your skin clean it leaves my skin feeling fresh very very clean and so so soft it's actually unbelievable um I think you can get this online and you can also get this in Boots uh super drug don't. uh Vichy but I know that boots have this so um yeah if you're like me and you get a bit lazy sometimes in your skin care then go try this because it's amazing also I want to quickly add it says it's for normal to combination and sensitive skin so that pretty much covers everybody apart from obviously if you're super super dry or super super oily so yeah love that and last in the body care part um I don't know what's going on with this like claw it's something from the body shop I don't tend to use their skin care like face skin care but their body skin care I absolutely love like their um body butters and things for your body like exfoliators and all that sort of thing and I recently tried the body puree now I've never heard of a body puree like what is that it's the love Etc sunkiss version now they have a fragrance Called Love Etc which smells amazing so when I first saw this I was like this sounds interesting I like the sound of a body puree just pump a little bit on my hand why is it not pum pumping it's just um kind of like a mixture between a gel and a cream is the best way to describe it um and you just rub it in I think I've put a little bit too much on leaves your skin looking feeling but more importantly smelling amazing if you were going on a night out um and you want your skin to quickly look really hydrated without having to apply or slather on loads and loads of body lotion and wait for it to sink in because I absolutely hate that it's probably because I'm just Ultra lazy but I hate waiting for moisturizer to sink in because this isn't technically a lotion or a body butter it's a um puree it sinks in super super fast but it leaves your skin looking really hydrated and just feeling really soft and really nourished one of the main things I love about this is the smell literally it it's like just putting perfume on you you could just put this on and be good to go to be honest I could just sit here sniffing this all day I'm not going to though don't worry I think they have two they do say limited edition so if you hate wearing fragranced anything do not go near this with a barge pot you'll hate it if you like to sort of get on with your day and then every now and again get a little whiff of your skin and be like oh that smells amazing then use this plus it moisturizes too and I didn't think it would moisturize but it does so yeah really really like that um one other really random thing which I thought I would include just because if you weren't aware of it then maybe you will be now is um company magazine I stopped reading magazines for quite a while just because I was reading blogs um and then um I Heard down the grap Vine that company had redesigned their magazine and it had all changed and now I absolutely love it and every month I actually get a little bit excited to go and buy company magazine which is a little sad granted but um I just thought I would share that with you because some of you might not be aware that it changed or I don't know I just like it it's just super easy to read and just I just really enjoy this magazine I'm even tempted to get the subscription and I don't ever get magazine subscriptions like who gets magazine subscriptions not me um so yeah loving that too so I hope you've enjoyed my April favorites um I even do a May favorites because I am just on a roll with trying out new products at the moment um I got into a bit of a boring routine and then sort of stuck with it for a very long time and um I will see you very soon bye
