Beauty
The first product I have been loving is only £1 for a two pack at Primark and it's their Cucumber Facial Cleansing Wipes. Waking up in the morning and cleaning my face with these wipes wakes me up, makes me feel fresh and clean and they smell divine; perfect for the warmer weather we occasionally get a glimpse of here in Scotland.
I mentioned Vaseline's Spray & Go Aloe Vera Moisturiser a couple of favourites ago and since then I haven't been able to find it anywhere! I'm not sure whether it has been discontinued or if my local shops simply don't stock it anymore but I've had to find another moisturiser as a substitute all the same. Luckily for me there was a deal on the normal Vaseline Aloe Vera Moisturiser so I picked that up to see if it was just as good. To my surprise it was! I am very fussy when it comes to moisturiser but I really like this one. It did not leave my skin feeling sticky, the consistency wasn't too greasy or thick and best of all, it absorbed into my skin almost instantly meaning I didn't have to wait around for it to dry before I got ready. This product smells really fresh and it genuinely moisturises my skin well.
Fresh scents seem to be the theme of the products I've been loving so far this month. The next product is the Herbal Essences Clearly Naked Fresh & Light Dry Shampoo. I never usually use dry shampoo, especially with my type of hair and I'm lucky enough not to get greasy hair. However, this month has been so busy with a lot of first aid duties as the football season came to an end and my uni exams started this month too. Dry shampoo's that I'd tried in the past always left white marks in my hair even with massaging the product in but this one doesn't. It has a lovely, fresh scent, sprays on nice and easily and massages in to my hair with ease. Even though I haven't used many dry shampoo's, this one definitely has the thumbs up from me.
During the colder months, my room is constantly filled with candles. Now that the weather is getting warmer I prefer to have diffusers in my room instead of candles. I have tried a couple of the Primark diffusers because they are so cheap but I wasn't very fond of them. They are fantastic products for the price, I just found that the scent was far too strong for the size my bedroom is. They would be much better use in quite a large room because of the strength of scent. Since then I've found quite a few softer scented diffusers that work a lot better with the size of my bedroom. Air Scents Cherry Reed Diffuser has been a particular favourite of mine. I love cherry scents and this diffuser fills my bedroom with the scent for most of the day.
The last two beauty favourites of mine are nail polishes. One of which is from the Barry M collection and is in the colour Ballerina and honestly, the name definitely drew me to product. It's a gorgeous dusky pink colour and is perfect for Spring in my opinion. I have been wearing this colour most days, pairing it with quite pale or neutral outfits and I've actually had quite a few compliments on it too! The second nail polish is from the Rimmel 60 seconds collection which is one of my favourite collections in general because I am so impatient when waiting on my nails to dry. Coralicious is the colour I've also been wearing a lot this month. It's a more vibrant colour but is also perfect for Spring. I have quite a pale complexion so this colour really stands out on me when I wear it.
Television
Without fail, I have another TV favourite this month. In all honesty, I watch far too much television for there not to be a favourite each month. This month it is Fear The Walking Dead. I am a huge fan of the original show so when they announced a spin off, I was very excited. I was even more eager about the show when I found out Alycia Debnam Carey (star of The 100 and a top notch actress in general) was going to be a member of the main cast. I deliberately waited for the first season to have completely aired and for the second season to be close to airing before I watched the show. I just knew I wouldn't be able to wait between seasons. This show is not as action packed or as gory (yet!) as The Walking Dead but that doesn't take anything from the show, I still love it. I would even go as far to say that I prefer it to The Walking Dead at the minute because the latest season of The Walking Dead has been a let down for me. If you like tension and drama, post-apocalyptic genres, violence and good but mysterious characters then watch Fear The Walking Dead for sure!
Event
At the beginning of the month my mum and I went to see Annie: The Musical at a local theatre, we even had front row seats! It was performed by local children and performers, with some of the children aged as young as three years old! Watching the performance brought back a lot of memories from when I was younger as I used to adore the film. I think the main reason I loved it was because I looked like Annie as I had a ginger afro as well. All the children were extremely talented and seemed to have no nerves whatsoever! I certainly wasn't that confident at that age. As you may have guessed, my mum and I share a common interest in theatre performances. Before the show, we went for lunch at a local restaurant and had a gorgeous meal of enchiladas with salad and fries. The whole day was really lovely and I cannot wait to do something similar again soon.
Next month brings a lot of excitement for me with a number of birthdays and events happening in May. I definitely have a lot to look forward to and unfortunately a lot of money to spend as well. Hopefully that means there will be more blog posts for you to read before my next monthly favourites, especially since my exams will be finished within the next two weeks. Something tells me next month will include a couple of hauls and maybe even a concert?! So keep an eye out for those.
