So another month has passed, and I've been using all kinds of products as the weather has gone from Spring to Winter all in one day! so starting with skincare that really doesn't change that much! I take my eye makeup off with the Beauty Pie Eye makeup Remover (members price £9). I really like this one as it's an bi-phase one that you shake up to disperse. It really takes all my makeup off with a few glides, it's great for my sensitive eyes too. A fraction of the price compared to all the equivalents like Lancôme and Clarins. 

Sunset blending - from dark to light with my favourite DollFace palette (Primark £3.50)!

We all need Euphoric Lilac in our lives! This is a super soft, creamy eye shadow stick, looks a little like a lipstick tube! and its so easy to use! It just glides over your lash line or eye lid. I paired it with my current favourite Dollface eyeshadow palette from a Primark which has bronzey and tan eyeshadows which really do make the most of this glorious colour! It's by By Revolution, there were a few other colours too, so I will definitely be trying those! All at only £5!   

Try a Kiko Matte Lip Crayon in no 06, perfect for Spring Lips, to use as a pencil or fill or use as a lipstick. Vibrant colours, easy to use crayon, so soft. I added a bit of H & M lipstick in Cerise -ly Metallic for a little bit more pink!

What's new? Dollface! A super eyeshadow palette from Primark, 9 great eyeshadows for £3.50! Wow!  I love their kits, with usable, fun, easy to blend eyeshadows. I put the palest on my lid, with a little of the light tan above my socket to open my eyes. Then using a Maybelline Tattoo Ink crayon, lined the top of my lid next to my lashes. A little of the denim blue in the outer corners going over the pencil line, to anchor and soften it, followed by the deeper tan in the socket to give my eyes more definition. Then I took a fluffy brush to just help blend the colours together. All brushes were from Primark. Great Spring look!

What's New? Don’t be frightened of colour! Especially going into Spring & Summer. This Revolution Mousse Eyeshadow is a fabulous colour called Lilac. At £3.99 it’s really good value. Soft and easy to use, with a brush or fingertip. Added some pencil in Twilight, which was actually a very old Cosmetics a la Carte one and finished off with Telescopic black mascara. So don’t let colour put you off or frighten you as it will give you that new look you want! 

A gradual tan to give you that healthy look without the mess and worry of being too dark and it all looking a disaster! I’ve used the new Dove Summer Revived Gradual Tan from Superdrug. £2.79. Good texture, easy to apply, not sticky and nice smell! Definitely one of the better options. What's not to like! Really it’s foolproof! Www.shoestringbeauty.com

What's out there? Trying to combat slight dodgy Winter hands? My go to hand cream is always the soft and creamy Lacura Hand Cream by Aldi £3.99, hits the spot every time! I’ve fallen in love with the Rubarb & Rose hand cream by Molten Brown, oh the smell! But if you want the ultimate in hand care with 1% retinol, to help fade those dark age spots (what an awful word) aka sun damage, then look no further! It comes from Beauty Pie £12.50 for members otherwise £40. This is the stuff of miracles! I’ve used it for a week, day and night and all I can say is, wow, what a difference! If you want results, get it! Super Retinol Anti Ageing Hand Cream.
