10 Things to do this Easter Weekend

               


1. Freshen up your home with fresh flowers. Bluebells, Daffodils and Peonies are now in season!

2. Ditch the spiced, winter fragrance candles and treat yourself to a fragrance update with fresh floral/ fruity scents. 

3. Cosy up on the sofa and binge watch some of your favourite films or why not start watching that TV series you haven't had the time to watch yet. 

4. Spring clean your wardrobe! Pack away any heavy winter coats and jumpers and swap them with brighter and lighter alternatives.

5. Eat ALL the chocolate Easter eggs!

6. Catch up with a friend over coffee and spend time with family.

7. Bake some Easter treats. These look super cute and yum!

8. Treat yourself to a Lush pamper evening using their new Easter range. My favourite is the 'Fluffy Egg' bath bomb, it smells good enough to eat!

9. Start reading a new book! I've just started reading Matt Haigs new novel 'Reasons to Stay Alive' which I'm really enjoying so far. 

10. Do some online shopping- a lot of places do Easter sales over the bank hoilday weekend. 

What are your plans this Easter weekend?

Top Picks: Makeup Revolution

                           

Hi Lovelies!

Today's post will be about one of my favourite budget makeup brands; Makeup Revolution. This line is exclusive to Superdrug and can also be bought directly from their website. Here are some of my top picks;

New-trals vs Neutrals Eyeshadow Palette

One thing this brand does well is eye shadows. This palette has a beautiful selection of 16 shades- both matte and shimmers, warm and cool tones. You can create an everyday natural eye look or go for something more dramatic using the corals, pinks and burgundy shades. The pigmentation of the shadows are great and blend like a dream, they also have a great staying power. This is the closest dupe to the popular (and ALWAYS sold out) Morphe 350 palette i've found and it's only £6.99!! Buy Me Here

Salvation Velvet Lip Lacquers

I love these liquid lipsticks! For £3 each, I am tempted to get all the colours available! It has a long lasting formula with highly pigmented colour, that dries completely matte. As a dry lip sufferer, I find these comfortable and non drying to wear, unlike some high end liquid lipsticks i've tried. My favourite shades are Rebel (a gorgeous plum/purple colour) and Keep trying for you (a vibrant true red) Buy Me Here

Blushing Hearts Triple Baked Blusher

Okay, first up, how adorable is the packaging of these blushers? Awk. These 3 in 1 blushers come in a variety of different shades and double up as a lovely subtle highlight. The formula is silky, pigmented, easily blended and lasts well on the skin.A neat little product that adds a natural flush and subtle glow to the skin. What's not to love? 
£4.99 each Buy Me Here

Highlighter 'Golden Lights'

This is the best budget highlighter that I have found on the market. For only £3, you couldn't go wrong with picking one of these up and trying them out for yourself. With 3 shades available, 'Golden Lights' is the most versatile for all skin tones.  It has a build-able formula that allows you to create a subtle glow suitable for the daytime or you can pack it on for a more dramatic evening look. Unlike some low cost highlighters, this does not contain any dreaded glitter, just pure unadulterated glow! Buy Me Here

Liquid Eyeliner in Ultra Black

If like me, you like your eyeliner to stay put all day- this is one for you. For only £1.50, this is great budget liquid eyeliner, super black with a glossy finish. The brush itself is easy to use and allows a precise application and the formula dries quickly so no messy smudges are accidentally made. If you like to create a winged eye liner look, rest assured the flick will not budge all day, I know, amazing right? Buy Me Here
