April Essentials 2016
10:00 am
Hello Bloggerbeans,
and hello to April! The month full of daffodils, sunny weather and bright adventures to be had before Summer is here, a pre summer if you like. We couldn't start this month off without a Essentials post so here is my top picks of things that I will be using throughout the month of April.

Books:
Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone - This months book recommendation is Harry Potter and the philosophers stone. I have always wanted to be part of the Harry Potter Fandom and after my good friend Elizabeth brought me the first book of the series for my birthday I can join the second generation who are picking up the books for the first time.
Makeup:
Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara - Just like the Benefit Rollerlash mascara which every beauty blogger has been loving, Maybellines Lash Sensational Mascara has also been getting a lot of attention and after purchasing a couple of weeks back have been wearing as part of my spring everyday makeup as it makes my lashes look so full and gives the illusion that i'm wearing false lashes when i'm not which is awesome.
Spring Lipstick Colours - Coming from winter and being all about a berry lip, I was seriously lacking when it came to my spring Makeup collection so invested in a couple of pink shades with one even ending up in my Spring Makeup Refresh look which you can view HERE. I like the subtlety of Pink and nude shades and feel I will be wearing a lot of Spring Lipsticks this April. The ones above are Rimmel lipstick is 05 and 08 and Maybelline 175 in Pink Punch.
Skincare:
Simple cleanser - I have recently become converted from Micellar water to cleansers which I have been finding a lot more effective to take off makeup with and with it being brighter, I have been trying to put in place a rigorous skincare routine to make sure my skin is as healthy as ever ready for the summer sun. As a big lover of Simple I purchased their cleanser and have been using it regularly and find its a lot more effective in helping take the days makeup off and wash away any impurities along with being a big motivation as if I am already in the bathroom using the Cleanser I find I am then more likely to use either a facial wash or exfoliater wash before applying night and spot cream.
Fashion:
Earrings - I have not worn earrings in a long time so when I was given this set from New Look for my birthday I decided to give them a go. I especially like the fact that they are quite small so are only noticeable if you really look so are perfect for everyday wear. They come in gold, pink and silver in an array of shapes so will match perfectly with your spring wardrobe.
Flower Crowns - This month I am hoping will be filled with lots of sunny weather so in reflecting this will be trying to wear lots of flower crowns big and small. I find their such a pretty spring (and summer) hair accessory to wear and are a simple, pretty and effective way to put back your hair as the weather begins to get warmer.
Music:
Bry - Lastly on my April Essentials is my music Recommendation which is Bry who you may know through his YouTube channel. He is a singer/Songwriter from Ireland who recently got signed to a record label which is huge news and being a avid follower of his music am so happy for him being recognized in the Music Industry and started to be taken seriously as a musician and not just for his YouTube. Yesterday he released his brand new single Don't Go Alone along with a music video which you can view HERE and am so happy that I have tickets for his Tour which has already begun. A quick shoutout to Katie for getting m tickets for my birthday (she is a good egg.)
Hopefully you enjoyed all the little bits and pieces mentioned in this post and be sure to look out for March's book review of It's Kind Of a Funny Story which should be up next Monday. This post was supposed to be up on Saturday but due to my WiFi issues had to reschedule for Monday which was a bit of a bummer but its finally up now hooray! I hope all you Bloggerbeans are okay and doing well. The try on Haul/Lookbook will be up this week on Friday so keep your eyes peeled for that post as I have been putting a lot of effort into uploads recently and have been enjoying blogging a lot. Until next time,
