I first applied my benefit porefessional and for foundation i wore mac studio scuplt in the colour NW15. with rimmel wake me up concealer under my eyes. For eyeshadow i wore NYC pallete in 968 cupcakes and coffee, the lighter pink all over the lid and the lightest shimmer for the inner corners, along with my soap and glory eye-liner and kate moss mascara, both in black. Eyebrows were filled in with my archery soap and glory eyebrow tint and shaper, and a light highlight under the brow too. I then powdered my face with the mac mineralise skin finish in the colour light, for bronzer i used the mua bronzed perfection, then blush was sleek in pixie pink. Finally, i finished it off with Tanya Burr's lipgloss in the colour vampire kiss, which i highly suggest you invest in, they're great! 

 My dress was from Missguided, my blazer was from New Look, my necklace was from River Island and my shoes are from Primark! 

*and breathe* 

On the night there was also a photo booth, with lots of silly props and outfits which was really fun! So here are some photos from that. 

And finally, here are a few more photos from the night! 

Well, there you go! I'm aware this is quite a random set of photos and i know they're not the best, and the make-up description wasn't the best but i try! I hope you enjoyed regardless! I had a wonderful night at the charity ball and they raised so much which is amazing!

Hope you enjoyed this post and have a look at some of my other posts too!

Next, is the Tresemme keratin smooth conditioner. I've heard good reviews from this product and i'm always on the market for something that will sort out my mad split ends, so i'm up for giving anything a try and this did not disappoint! I was told not to use this too often as it is quite a "thick" conditioner, so i usually wash my hair every other day (i know some people will be like, "ew gross!" but washing your hair everyday removes the natural oils of your hair and can damage it, so meh.) so i use this twice a week and it did wonders for me! It smoothed my hair out and helped with frizz and also helped with split ends. Now, it wont completely remove any split ends, without getting hair cuts on a regular basis, and not using too much heat etc etc. But still, definitely recommend! 

Something else that i've been loving recently is the benefit porefessional pore minimizing cream! I only bought this about a week ago now, but i had to include it in my favourites because i absolutely love it! I hadn't heard one bad review about this and i now know why! You can put it on before you apply your make-up (this is what i do) or you can apply a small amount over your make-up, it smooths out your pores and makes your skin suuuuper soft. I only need to use a small amount where i need it, and it can be used on it's on for lazy days as well. I know that it is quite expensive, i know, but you don't need a lot and it will last a long time and it is worth the money! Splurge a little!

My next favourite isn't a beauty thing or a hair thing, it's a youtuber! Now, you may not know but i'm big on watching youtubers, beauty bloggers, vloggers etc. But my favourite youtuber of this month is iiSuperwomanii! She's a comedian vlogger and she does little sketches about life, a lot of things you can relate to and she makes me laugh so much! If you're into watching youtubers you should check her out, i'll leave a link to her channel here! https://www.youtube.com/user/IISuperwomanII

Another make-up favourite for this month is the Rimmel Stay Matte powder. I had this about a year ago i used this powder but for some reason i stopped buying it, i just go on to try other bits of make-up and i've recently gone back to it. I really love it and it's so cheap and cheerful it's such a good powder, it gives you such a good finish, you don't need a lot and i have it for a long time before ever hitting pan! If you're just starting out with make-up i'd recommend this powder to anyone, it's cheap and lovely! 

My final favourite for this month is the Soap and Glory sugar crush body wash. This smells amazing, i can't describe scents very well but it smells like a strong lime smell but not too strong that it's off putting, it's just refreshing! I love using it on a morning as it's a great summer/spring scent and it just wakes you up, ready for the morning! Soap and Glory do such lovely scents and i'm going to definitely get the exfoliator and the body butter as well, ready for the summer! 

Hope you guys enjoyed my April favourites! I wanted to try and get a few summer/spring things in to my favourites as summer is coming and i'm trying out new things ready for it! What are you favourites for the month? Do you like any of the things i've mentioned? Let me know!

After having a coffee we had a look around the museum, and here are some photos from there! 

Then we went into the city of York to do some shopping! I tried to go into more shops that you can't really find in my local area, because i go there any time, apart from when i went into boots... I ended up heading to the benefit counter and my bank balance cried. I bought a new BB cream, the porefessional and a cleansing kit too! I shouldn't be allowed to visit any make-up stand because i can NEVER SAY NO. *sigh*

We then all had a look around the market stalls, i'd never seen the market in York before and it was so lovely! They had some really unique and sometimes unusual things, which was cool to see. But really the rest of the day it was spent walking around the shops and spending time with my family and my boyfriend, especially when the weather was great! 

Here are some more photos from my day (mostly just me and Brian on the train but w/e)

Enjoy! 

Hope you enjoyed that post, i know it wasn't anything too interesting but i thought it would be nice to share with you! 

How did you spend your weekend? Go anywhere nice? Let me know!
