~April Favourites~

Wow I totally forgot it was May already. That being said here is a late April Favourite post! I know I said I would try a few things and I did but most of them ended up on my "Miss List". (I still have to do a post on that!). For this month there were a few things that I really adored!
(side note: I'm planning to buy a new charger for my good camera therefore pictures like these won't show up in future post. Hopefully. For now please excuse the quality).


Black Tank Crop Top - $6 H&M
This top has been my go-to top whenever I go out.
It's just so comfortable and airy.
It goes with anything and it's super cute. 

Bought this in the middle of April with my brother's girlfriend.
It was a buy one get 50% off sale.
I've always been wanting to own a baseball cap and now I got one!
Since the weather is getting hotter and toques/beanies are out of the weather this hat
seemed like the best alternative!
I pretty much wear it when I can!

I have to say this was a good impulsive purchase.
It has a nice light colour to it.
It blends well and it feels really light.
I did a review on this, you can check it out here.

I did a close up pictures for the remaining last three favourites!

Anti-Fatigue Eye Roller, Fresh Essentials - Aveeno
I don't know the price, my mother just asked me if I wanted it.
She said she bought this just because.
(I wonder where I got my impulsive purchase habits from?)
This product is awesome because it really does brighten up the dark circles under my eyes.
I have a similar product by Aveeno that does the same thing however, it burns like a witch!
BUT this product doesn't do that!
It's very gentle and soothing. Not to mention cooling.

Eyebrow Wiz in Ebony - $27 Anastasia
I bought this in January and I never really paid attention to how awesome this product is until April.
Unfortunately I ran out of it so I couldn't swatch it on my hand or anything.
The colour is a nice deep brown. Almost close to black but not as harsh.
I used to use black eyebrow pencil but then my cousin persuaded me to use dark brown pencil.
Therefore I chose this because a lot of YouTube gurus rave/use this eyebrow pencil.
I really like the brush at the end since it evens out the intensity you just filled in. 
It is quite pricey and I don't see myself buying another one soon.
Although I really like the colour of it since it matches my hair.
I started to use this a lot in the month of April, especially when I didn't really need to wear it.
I just loved using it!

Black Ankle Strap Wedges - $26 H&M
I absolutely adore these wedges.
Whenever I get a chance to wear them, I'll strap these lovelies on my feet.
They're so comfortable and much more stable than my Zara heels.
My ankle doesn't give way whenever I'm running in them or fiddling my feet around.
They pretty much go with any outfits I wear.

That's all for my April Favourites!
Hopefully I'll have more during May!
Let me know which items you thought were interesting :)!

March Favourites!

Seriously where are the days going? One minute it's March now it is April! Well since it's April you know what that means... March Favourites!
This post is another short one only because I barely used any new products! This monthly favourites are a bit diverse because most of these items rarely fall under beauty, but that's okay! Your favourite things don't have to be beauty. It could be food, clothes, drinks, shows etc.
St.Ives Green Tea Scrub - $8
St.Ives Green Tea Cleanser - $6
As mentioned in my review for these two products they are the absolute bomb dot com.
They smell so heavenly, they get rid of acne and redness, also they are pretty cheap!
St.Ives' products will always be my favourites!
I'm enjoying their combination together! It works well on my skin leaving it feeling fresh and clean!

Glysomed Hand Cream - $2
I owned this for a long time actually and I'm just starting to use it again.
I got this when it was on sale. I thought it would be great to try it out since most of my friends recommended it to me.
I'm starting to re-love this product! The way it feels on my hand is incredibly soft and makes me want to rub my hands together all day! LOL. 
It doesn't really have a scent, although my brother begs to differ. 
I just love the way it feels and besides nobody wants to have dry hands! 

Multi-Diamond Circle Earrings from Ardenes - (part of  the 3 for $10)
 I find myself wearing these every time I go out!
I just love the way it looks and the fact that it's multi-diamond gives it an elegant look to it!
Super easy to pair it with any of my outfits and doesn't stand out too much when I tie my hair in a pony tail or bun.

Green Plaid - AEO $16
This is basically my go to cover on/cardigan whatever you want to call it!
I know this isn't really a cardigan but I wear it like it is one.
It's starting to get a tad bit warmer and I really like to wear something light and this is what I settle for.
I remember the first time I saw this I had to buy it.
It pretty much finds its way to be part of my outfits here and then!
I probably wore this over 20x in the month of March!

Have A Nice Day Planner/Journal - Gift
I was cleaning out my drawer and I found this. 
This was given to me on one of my birthdays from Michelle D and Patrick I believe. I may be wrong though.
When I found this I thought to myself: "maybe its a good idea to write things down."
I was really disorganized in the week that I found this journal and ever since I've written in it I became organized and a lot more enthusiastic about school.
(to be quite honest this semester totally sucks and I'm not doing well in it but I'm getting back on my feet).
I'm carrying this journal everywhere I go and I write all my ideas in it!
Despite its obnoxious smiley faces plastered in each page and of course the cover I kind of like it.
Reminds me that I should still smile, no matter what. (I know, cheesy eh?). 

All Bran Honey Nut Bar - Superstore $9(pack of 24)
I have literally been munching on these ever since I got it!
It's so delicious and it's healthy for you which makes it a bonus!
I absolutely adore the "All Bran" line from Kellogg's. 
Oh and I guess fibre is cool too. I mean a healthy colon is a happy person... Right?

I saved my absolute favourite for last!
Ever since I finished playing Stick of Truth I find myself watching South Park episodes.
Doesn't matter if I watched the episode 10x or 20x, to me it never gets old.
Gosh, bless Trey and Matt for making this show. 
I love how they don't have a limitation on what they make fun of.
That's what makes the show genuine and awesome.
I hope y'all enjoyed this post! 
I know it's doesn't focus on beauty but really I didn't have time to try out the new things I bought! 
Hopefully some of the products that I bought last month will make it to my April Favourites!
Till next time lovelies

FEBRUARY FAVOURITES!

A really late February favourites! I was meaning to do this but I just completely forgot about it, oops :$! The things I loved about February focused more on body care and accessorizing!
Oh and apology for advance because these pictures again are from my iPhone! I have yet to find that damn charger for my good camera!

NIVEA Pure & Natural - Milk & Honey Lip-Balm $2
I recently got this at the end of February and I'm absolutely loving it!
It literally smells like its name and obviously it tastes good!
(Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about, everyone has somewhat tasted their chapsick here and there... LOL!)
It goes on really well and doesn't leave any of the thick chapstick residue behind!

The Body Shop - Strawberry Body Butter Cream
I got this from my friends Eddie and Nicole for my birthday.
I haven't started using it until the beginning of February.
If I have known it smelled this good I would've used it a long time ago!
It's scent isn't too strong or too weak.
You can definitely smell the strawberry tinge to it but its somewhat subtle in a way.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's smell is perfect!
It's perfect that it smells somewhat natural.
The only thing I could do without is the feeling. You can definitely feel the body butter on your skin but I guess that's why it's called body butter!

Black Cat Eye Retro Sunglasses - XXI $8
(yes I know this is SUPER DUSTY LOL)
Originally I wasn't supposed to get these sunglasses.
I was supposed to get these really big circular sunglasses. The frames were coloured a light transparent gray.
I didn't get that because Leo said it reminded him of an umbilical cord... LOL
I'm really happy with these sunglasses considering that I almost wear it whenever it's sunny.
It goes well with any outfits and I'm kind of digging the cat-eyed look!

Revlon 410 - Dreamer & Revlon 220 - Enchanting $4 each
I already made a post of this but these two are currently my favourite nail polishes at the moment.
The colours aren't as bright nor too dark. 
It's in the middle.
Yeah I kind of dig that equality thing.
It kind of gives off the girly but boyish look to it in a way.
Oh and it's really easy to apply.
1-2 coats and you're done!

I hope you guys enjoyed this somewhat late February Favourite post!
I know I don't have that many favourites, Originally I was supposed to have a couple more but I wanted to keep it nice and short!
Definitely this March's Favourites will be good!
