Hello all! Long time no blog! I apologise for the slight pause on this blog - blame the easter holiday. I have just been focusing on university assignments (yay...) and got caught up in just chilling at home - but I have returned! It is that time, time for the April favourites wave to hit! If you are a Youtube dork like myself, you know exactly what I am referring to. In true lazy Sunday fashion, I have spent all morning in bed just watching April favourites videos and it really got me in the blogging mood. So naturally, I am doing my April favourites too! I am gonna be dividing them into separate posts - beauty favourites (this post - obviously) and fashion/random favourites. Let's begin!
Bioderma isn't exactly a new addition in the world of beauty products but it is in Denmark - yes, Bioderma has finally arrived to our little nation! Hallelujah! Although the bottles are tiny, it is still available. You can buy yourself a bottle in pretty much any pharmacy - I don't know if this applies to DK as a whole, but I know pharmacies in and near Copenhagen sell the heavenly product. For those of you who don't know what Bioderma is, it is basically an amazing makeup remover. I tend to use it after I have taken all my makeup off, as it works wonders in completely cleansing your skin. You just put some onto a cotton pad and then wipe it all over your face. It is a calm product that you can use for both your face and eyes without there being any irritation - it is a babe. I cannot recommend this product enough - it can be bought online for those of you who are interested :)
For my next beauty favourite I have a set of nail polishes that I have been loving. I unfortunately have the horrible habit of biting my nails and I have recently decided to try my best to stop. So far it is going very well and my nails are slowly growing, however, I wanted to try some of the many growth serums and nail polishes I have heard of to see if they would help the process. I had heard wonderful things about the Essie Help Me Grow Base Coat so I wanted to give it a try and so far I am happy with the results! In addition to this I bought two L'Oreal nail polishes to wear so that I wouldnt be tempted to go back to my bad habit. For me, having nicely painted nails is one of the only things that makes me not want to bite - normally I do it out of pure boredom but if I have nicely painted nails I don't. I chose the colours Golden Coquillage (854) and Rose Paradis (201) because they are lovely and simple summery colours but also because they won't attract attention to my nails whilst I am growing them out. What I truly love about these nail polishes is the texture of it - it is almost like having gel nails with just two easy coats! So these three have become my new nail polish combination - just a base coat of the Essie and then two coats of which ever nail polish I choose and boom, there you have it :)
I recently got my hair cut and one thing I love about my hair dresser is the products she uses! She always has something new and interesting that I end up falling completely in love with and this time it is this funky little thing called 4 Crush Thickening Snow (Purple Rose). I cannot express enough how strangely wonderful this product is - it is a powder product that you pump into the roots of your hair for volume.. But its texture completely blew my mind! It almost makes your roots feel a little bit like you have been using hair spray on them when really it is only a powder. You only need a few pumps and your hair has the most amazing volume! I will be writing a post demonstrating this product and talking a little more about it soon :)
Finally I have this moisturiser that is a comeback act in my makeup bag. This Vichy Aqualia Thermal moisturiser is one of my holy grail products - I will try other products like it but I always end up coming back to this one. It has this lovely scent to it and gives your face this fresh and soft feeling with just a tiny little amount. I have combination skin but it has recently been acting up with dry patches and this product has been a god send. It is incredibly hydrating and is ideal for people with sensitive skin, so if that applies to you I would highly recommend this!
I hope you guys have all had a wonderful Easter and that you are well! Keep your eyes peeled for the next April favourites post all about the random goodies and fashion gems!
Much Love,
Caroline
