April Beauty Awards

Hi there! It’s the last working day of the month, so today’s post is my monthly favourites post. I’ve chosen my Top 3 from all the products I reviewed in April, and I have a few honourable mentions too. It was really close this month! Alrighty, let’s start with the Top 3 now!

3rd place – Revlon Custom Eyes 020 Naturally Glamorous

This small Revlon eye palette is everything! Incredible quality!

Runner-Up – Marks & Spencer Lip Balm
WINNER – Prada Infusion De Fleur D’Oranger Eau De Parfum

Who would have thought that a random lip balm that was part of a random cheap gift set would be this good? Well, I’m not complaining. This M&S lip balm is one of the best lip products I’ve ever used!
Prada’s Infusion De Fleur D’Oranger is something else. Wow, what a fragrance!

Onto the honourable mentions! L’Oréal Elvive Hydra Hyaluronic Moisture Boosting Shampoo & Moisture Locking Conditioner are amazing products. They suit me and my hair routine perfectly. Rightguard Shower + Oils With Argan, Marula & Almond Oil and Rightguard Shower + Elixir With Black Orchid are wonderful shower products. And Radox Detoxed Bath Salts With Acai Berry are absolutely brilliant. My husband loves these bath salts too!

Have you tried any of these products or would you like to try any of them? Which products have you been loving lately? Feel free to comment, and thanks for stopping by! xo

Revlon CustomEyes 010 Sweet Innocence, NYC Metro Quartet Eyeshadow 816A Chelsea Chic

Hi there! Today’s post is about 2 small eyeshadow compacts – Revlon CustomEyes 010 Sweet Innocence and NYC Metro Quartet Eyeshadow 816A Chelsea Chic. Let’s take a look at Revlon CustomEyes 010 Sweet Innocence first!

Sweet Innocence is a cute looking little compact. The 5 shades are dark grey, peachy nude, champagne, dusty plum and vintage pink.

I’ve done a few looks with this palette, but I found the quality of the eyeshadows to be poor. They were chalky, it was impossible to build them up, and they didn’t blend.

After the disappointing experience with the Revlon eyeshadows, I tried NYC Metro Quartet Eyeshadow 816A Chelsea Chic.

This little eye palette contains 4 shades: a pale gunpowder, a medium chocolate brown, a frosty baby pink, and a light brown tinted grey.

I’ve done a few looks with this eyeshadows as well, and I think that the pale gunpowder and the brownish grey were alright. The chocolate brown shade was extremely chalky, and I didn’t care for the frosty pink.

Based on my experience, I wouldn’t recommend these small eye palettes (or compacts). I found them at some bargain store (Poundland?), so at least I didn’t spend much money on them.
