It’s the end of the month, so it means it’s time  for April beauty favourites! I really love all the products from the previous “favourite posts” and here is the new selection.

L’Occitane Repairing Shampoo and Conditioner for Dry & Damaged Hair

I’ve been absolutely in love with this duo from L’Occitane, although my hair is not dry or damaged. It’s an absolute pleasure to use, as it  cleanses well, leaves the hair looking nice and smells amazing.

There is not that much left, so I have already ordered some Philip B hair care products, but I will definitely re-purchase these at some point in the future. Read more about them here.

Rimmel Lycra PRO Nail Polish in Blue Vogue

I have been wearing this nail polish for more than a week this month, it is absolutely gorgeous, see the swatch, and also long-lasting.

Max Factor Miracle Touch Creamy Blush in 09 Soft Murano

This blush is a great proof that high quality products are not necessarily expensive. Miracle Touch was my most used blusher this month. I have two shades and adore them both. I should probably

So what’s inside my makeup bag?  If I had a task to create the look with only five products, here is what I’d use. The products that I like are changing constantly so here are those that I am enjoying at the moment.

And while you are deciding on what products you would choose, take advantage of the social and community section of binguez, every girl’s favourite online gaming site, where you can also interact with members and ask for ideas and suggestions.

So the products are:

Daniel Sandler’s Invisible Radiance Foundation and Concealer (review)

Ok, yes, that is a bit cheating as it is one-in-two product… It’s a perfect foundation for my dry skin, it evens out the skin tone and gives the  complexion a dewy glow, exactly what I am looking for!

Max Factor Miracle Touch Creamy Blush

I have been loving the shade 09 Soft Murano a lot lately, in fact, I have been using it almost every single day. It is a high quality product for an affordable price plus the colour is very flattering!

Ellis Faas Mascara

This  has been my mascara of choice lately. It gives a nice length, separates the lashes, lasts for the long time, without fading, smudging or flaking. It even survives an

If you haven’t noticed yet, lip crayons are a big trend for SS2013, I have already posted about some of them: Clinique Chubby Sticks, Stila and Laura Mercier, to name a few.

And there are even more coming out our way. Let’s take a look.

Max Factor Colour Elixir Giant Pen Stick, £6.99

These are available in six shades: Princess Rose, Vibrant Pink, Subtle Coral, Designer Blossom, Passionate Red and Hot Chocolate

IsaDora Twist-Up Moisturizing Lip Filler

And there are

I am a huge fan of Max Factor’s Second Skin foundation! It is actually the only foundation that I have ever finished, which says a a lot. Last week I’ve learned that it is being discontinued, so I did actually get upset. But I was assured that the replacement which is called 3-in-1 All Day Flawless foundation should be amazing.

I haven’t tried it yet so can’t say anything yet but I will definitely pick up a back up of Creamy Ivory from the Second Skin range before it’s gone.

The foundation acts like primer, foundation and also has SPF 20.  It contains Advanced Flexi Hold Polymer System which is a ‘flexible film that adheres to the face to provide lasting coverage’.

Some top Make-Up Artists already sing praise to this foundation, and Pat McGrath used it at Valentino AW 2012 show so

Here is a quick update about the content of the makeup bag that I carry with me. I am actually surprised that there are hardly any products and almost all are sample sized. I guess the only explanation is that it’s  only Monday and I’ve ‘cleared out’ all the other products on the weekend.

I have two perfume samples: Illamasqua’s Freak which I adore and Guerlain’s La Petite Robe Noire which I am not yet sure about.

I mini size of one of my favourite lip products which is Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector in o1.

A very small size of Benefit’s High Beam, I actually have three different sizes which is very handy.

A sample of Chanel’s Sublime de Chanel mascara.

ArtDeco and Dita von Teese’s  Eye Styler which I think is fantastic. I actually can’t believe how good it is. Will write a review  soon.

Jouer Concealer no3 cameo. I usually have a Touche Eclat or Rouge Bunny Rouge one with me but this time decided to take this one.

Max Factor Miracle Touch Creamy Blush in 09 Soft Murano. This is such a high quality blush for a very affordable price. I recommend.

The makeup bag is from Elemis and I really like it!
