April Beauty Favourites 四月美妆爱用品

April is the month I started getting into the spring/summer mood, the nice warm weather at the beginning of April certainly helped set the tone. I'm really excited about this month's favourites, not only that I found a few budget friendly products that I absolutely love, but also I discovered some from my old stash and an exciting lip combo. 

四月是我开年至今第一次开始感受到春夏的气息，当然啦，四月初长达2周的“高温”肯定帮了大忙。本月的美妆爱用品样样都让我兴奋，不光发现了一些新的开架好物，还挖掘出了一些旧爱，混搭出了新的唇膏颜色。

• So here we have:

•  SUQQU eyeshadow palette 01, it's been my go to palette for over 2 months, so easy to blend and amazingly soft almost bouncy powder makes me addicted. 

• Soap&Glory archery 2 in 1 brow pencil in dark chocolate, this is actually my second one, hands down the best and it's affordable. 

• Rimmel Rita Ora nail polish in GO WILDER NESS. I love the formula, rather watery, 1 coat give you a sheer wash of colour, but 2 coat is all you need, great colour pay off, fast drier, long lasting(so far 4 days without chipping at all)

• Nailtiques Formula 2 nail treatment, I love nail polishes, but we all know applying nail polish non stop will dry out your nails, make them really fragile. I've been on the hunt for the best nail treatment for a long time now, finally 100% happy with this one, it really is worth the extra few quid. I'll do a nail care routine next week. 

• BECCA beach tint in Strawberry. I'm sure everyone loves this. Apply on cheeks for a wash of colour, dab on lips for a tint of matte colour, gives the most subtle colour,  the water resistant formula is perfect choice for a hot sweaty long day or beach holiday.

• YSL lipstick in 01 and 207. See swatches down below, both are beautiful, but I discovered when you apply 207 first and then dab 01 lightly on top or centre lips, give it a smudge,  it becomes something magnificent, it's the perfect balance between red and pink and mauve. It's my perfect spring colour. 

swatches from top to bottom: YSL 207, YSL 01, Becca in strawberry. 

• SUQQU三色眼影盘01，最近两个多月每次画眼影就会不由自主的抓这盘，虽然只是棕色盘，但是SQ软糯的粉质极易晕染，已经上瘾了，这个坑跳的好，再见了！:(
• S&G的极细眉笔，已经第二只了，它是同价位乃至2倍价位里，举双手双脚最好用的，只有两个色号，但是深色对于亚洲人来说是绝配，极细的笔芯能画出超自然的眉毛！
• Rimemel和歌手Rita Ora合作的甲油系列，这个颜色是我的最爱，甲油质地偏水，刷一层是透明的，两层刚刚好，持久力也不错，4天做家务也没有斑驳脱落的痕迹。
• Nailtiques的2号配方护甲油，人人都爱五颜六色的甲油，但是涂久了，再高端的甲油都能让指甲变的干燥脆弱，我一直在寻找效果好又快的护甲产品，试过3个品牌，目前只有这款才是100%的满意，再糟糕的指甲连续两次就回血了，这款是必须有，下周我会发一篇我自己的美甲过程，需要的可以回来看看。
•  Becca的唇颊两用，色号strawberry, 夏天肯定要有一只防水的唇颊两用，becca目前是我用过的真正两用的，不管是脸颊还是嘴唇都能做到持久又不干燥。去海边或者闷热的夏天，这货一定是必备品！
• YSL唇膏01和207，试色请见上图，两个色都蛮美的，尤其是207暗玫瑰色，某一天我突然发现把207打底，再轻轻把01涂在嘴唇内侧，抿一抿，出来的颜色美呆啦！绝对的暖春色！

 I have put some pictures of me wearing all the products I mentioned in this post down below, I tried to use different lighting so you can get a better idea, hope it's helpful. Photos may seem a bit blurry, as I only used iPhone. no filters. 
想看所有产品的效果图，可以拉到本遍结尾，我尽最大努力的拍了几张不同光线的参考图。 图片可能有些模糊，图片产自iPhone,请见谅。曝光有些过度，下午阳光太好。

What I wore on Bank Holiday

This bank holiday begins with a grey chilly Saturday.  For this kind of weather, I went for something cozy but light, so this way I don't get too warm when I'm walking around, but still warm enough when I sit down for a rest or like right now, typing.  
这个银行假日的第一天就来个灰蒙蒙，凉飕飕的天气，在这种气温12度上下的日子，我选择既暖和又轻薄的行头，这样走路走多了也不会满身大汗，安静坐着休息或者打字的时候又不至于发冷。

I paired this cozy but super lightweight H&M mohair blend jumper with my favourite J Brand Lucas super skinny jeans. The jumper is extra loose, oversized fit, slightly see through material, to make sure I don't look too baggy, I went for this super skinny jeans to balance out. As it's Saturday, this usually means, I'm out and about with my little girl, CANNOT wear slim heels, so I finished with these ZARA chunky sandals to put a little spring back in my outfit. Sprinkle a few drops of TOM FORD velvet orchid, stuff my Louis Vuitton speedy with kid's water bottle, wipes, change of clothes(bottom), makeup to touch up, and everything else.  

我挑了这件H&M马海毛混纺的套头衫，以及我最爱的J Brand Lucas紧身牛仔裤。这件套头衫是超级宽松的款式，我本人并非是细高挑的身材，为避免显得过于臃肿矮胖，搭配极细紧身裤能起到很好的平衡效果。周六家庭日，出门到哪肯定少不了我女儿，也就意味着跟在她屁股后面跑的机会肯定不少，要是为了爱美踩双细高跟，半途就吃不了兜着走的人肯定是我！ZARA前年的这双黑白编织粗跟凉鞋，粗跟绝对给予了最大的舒适度，凉鞋又能为整个行头添加一丝春天的气息。喷几滴TOM FORD丝绒兰花，抓上塞满小屁孩水杯，湿巾，备用衣物和补妆用品的LV speedy就出门啦！
