Spring Favourites

Hello everyone! As you can probably tell i'm not very good at keeping up with favourites posts, i think I've posted only two since starting my blog. However, that's all going to change. I'm now going to start posting seasonal favourites rather than monthly ones because to be honest i don't  like enough products in one month to warrant a post. Hopefully with this change it will give me more time to discover and try out products before i decide whether or not i like them. Hopefully you like this change too. 
Anyway, lets move on to the the post which is my Spring Favourites! This season is almost over (thank god because in Britain it's been pretty rubbish) and i'd like to share with you the products I've enjoyed using.

Top row: Nivea Smooth Nourishing hand cream/ Rimmel nail polish- 053 Apricot Punch/ Rimmel nail polish- 500 Peppermint/ Rimmel nail polish- 431 Stormy Skies/ W7 Flirty Eyes mascara
Bottom row: Sleek blush- Mirrored Pink/ NYC Smooth Skin pressed powder


Nivea Smooth Nourishing hand cream (Review coming soon)

This has been a savior for me recently. My hands have been in terrible condition due to the ever changing British weather but this has sorted them right out. I wont say too much because i will be reviewing this soon, so you'll get a more detailed overview in that post.

W7 Flirty Eyes mascara - Review Here

This is my new favourite daytime mascara. It lengths, separates and holds the curl of my lashes extremely well. I have reviewed this so if you want to know more just go and check it out.



Rimmel Lasting Finish nail polish- Apricot Punch

I wore this shade round about the beginning of spring and i love it. I purchased it last year, i'm not sure whether it's still being sold because it is from the fruities range which claims that the polish leaves a fruity scent when it dries. I can tell you know this does not smell fruity! It just smells like a concoction of chemicals and i find the smell quite sickly if i'm honest. However bad smells aside, this polish is perfect for spring it's bright fun and makes me look more tanned. 

Rimmel Professional Finish nail polish- Peppermint

I'm a sucker for anything pastel and nail polish is no exception. I love pastel nails for spring, especially mint greens. I believe this polish would look great with or without a tan. The brush on this is huge which makes applying the polish so quick and easy. It lasts for a good week before it chips. I 'd highly recommend this range of polishes. 

Rimmel Professional Finish nail polish- Stormy Skies

I'm currently wearing this shade right now and although it's not a very spring-like colour i'm thoroughly enjoying wearing it. It's muted enough to be a nice neutral everyday colour and makes a change from the usual taupes and beiges. I can see this being a colour i'll wear all year round.


NYC Smooth Skin Pressed Powder- Review Here

I'm not going to go into too much detail about this because i have already posted a review. All i have to say is that it lasts well, it leaves a nice finish on my skin and sets my makeup well. However i am annoyed at the fact I've hit pan so early after only using it for a few weeks.

Sleek Aqua Collection Blush- Mirrored Pink (Review coming soon)

I actually won this blush in Jen's from JeneralRambling 100 follower giveaway, go check out her blog it's amazing! I haven't been using this blush long but i can see why she didn't want to give it away, it's such a gorgeous colour! It gives such a pretty glow to the cheeks and warms up my complexion too. It's a lovely peachy pink with hints of gold and pink shimmer. I'm probably going to continue wearing this right through till summer. Unfortunately it was limited edition but i'm sure there's loads of dupes out there that are similar. 

What are your current favourites for spring?
