March/April Favourites.

Hello my lovelies. So first I need to say sorry for being gone so long! I've been working and I've not had much to blog about. So if you have any ideas of things you'd like to see me post about PLEASE leave a comment down below or comment on a picture on my Instagram just please let me know! 
So let's get in to what I've been loving. I didn't do a march favourites because I've been using the same things and I had like 2 favourites so I just though I'd add it to this. Starting with face, my new FAVOURITE foundation is the new Nars All Day Luminous Weightless foundation. It is amazing, I did an entire first impressions & review of it so I will leave a link of it at the end of the post, it's so good I've not put it down since I got it! Then there's the new Urban Decay Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer, I've used this everyday and I really like it! The first on I got was to light so I picked up the shade darker but I use them both everyday. It's got amazing coverage and it's feels really light. Then I got the #InstaMarc Light Filtering Contour Powder. I got it in the shade 40 Mirage Filter, I bought this when I was in Rome and I'd heard no one talk about it but now it seems everyone has it! I got this for the yellow shade because I ran out of my Anastasia Banana powder and it's really nice, it's a smooth powder. The contour shade is really nice and a little bit goes along way. Then I finally got my Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed in Opal back! I originally got this last year and it was faulty so I sent it back and they didn't have it in stock, I got it about 2 months ago. I'm so glad I have it again! Then I have been using 2 different face setting sprays/mists. First the Urban Decay All Nighter and the Caudalíe Beauty Elixer. I really like how my makeup looks after using both of these, the Caudalíe Beauty Elixer isn't a setting spray but it just gives my skin a fresh feel and a beautiful glow! Then I've been loving this Sephora Contour 12H Wear Waterproof Eye Pencil in 08 Sun Tan, it's a beautiful bronze/gold shade it's nice in the waterline and all over the eye! Lastly is the Sephora Rouge Lipstick in Honey. It's a beautiful peachy nude shade I love it! And it smells amazing. I do have some more favourites that aren't on the picture. I've been loving the Makeup Geek Eyeshadows in Latte & Frappe. I use them everyday! So smooth and pigmented I love them! A random favourite this month of mine is reading! Half way through the month I started reading Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick and I read it in a day! Then I bought the other 3 books in the series and they are amazing! I loved them and I instantly fell so hard for the characters! Loved them and now I've started reading the House of Night books! 
Again i'm so sorry for being gone for so long! Don't forget to follow my Instagram for daily pictures @ellietaylorrxx and leave ideas for posts down below or on my Instagram!

My Favourite Blushers.

Hello my loves, I really wanted to do my top 10 blushers today but I could only find 8! I obviously have more than 8 blushers and could of just chucked some random ones in but I wanted to show you my most reached for blushes that I know I love! I will apologise in advance because they are all very similar! Let's get to it!
Out of the 8 blushes 5 are MAC so i'm going to start with those! The two pans in the middle are Sunbasque & Cantaloupe. Cantaloupe is the lighter out of the two and this one is a Pro shade. That means you can only get it in a pro store or on the mac website, it's a really warm tone peachy-brown with a matte finish it's really beautiful. Then there's Sunbasque, it's a beautiful shimmering peach. It has a golden sheen on the skin which makes you look like your glowing (you'll notice I'll be saying this a lot as I love to glow) in summer this is one of my favourites it's so gorgeous! Now for the mac blushes in the pots. The first one (top left) is called Trace Gold. When I first bought this I didn't even touch it, it just looks really basic but then last year when I was moving more towards bronzy blushes I decided to use this and I loved it! I'm going to start using it more because it's so beautiful with a gorgeous sheen to it. On the website it's describe as a gold with shimmer. When its swatched it's nothing special so if you go into a mac try it on and see what you think! The next one is the only limited edition blush out of the bunch, it's called Worldly Wealth. This one is very bronzy! On Temptaila it's described as a shimmering peachy-bronze. I really love this blusher! It gives a gorgeous glow to the skin and it is quite brown but i'm so glad I bought this when it came out in summer last year, fingers crossed they bring it out again so you guys can try it, and if you have it and never use it give it a go! The last mac blush in this post in Margin. It's described as a peach with golden shimmer. This is one of those blushes that gives you the glowing from within look, it's a pinky/peachy bronze and it's just beautiful! Every time it wear it I get so many compliments, it really does look gorgeous on most skin tones, if your more tan it can be a little light but Sunbasque is similar just a little darker. I really do love mac blushes, there are so many colours to choose from if you don't have one go in and have a look you don't need much because they are really pigmented! Moving on to Nars Madly, this blush is beautiful, it's described as a warm seashell pink. This is another than when it's swatched it looks boring but when it's on it's so nice! It has a really fine sheen to it! My last two are both by Becca. The top right is Wild Honey. It's a very warm tone browny/peach, you could probably use this as your bronzer it's one of those shades. Next is probably my favourite blusher and it's called Sweetpea. It's soooo gorgeous! These blushes are SO pigmented, literally one tap gives you amazing colour to your cheeks. Sweetpea is a browny/peach-pink. The pink is only a tad in there. I can't really describe it and all the descriptions are not that great. In the UK Becca is only sold in SpaceNK stores so if your near one go and give them a swatch you won't be disappointed. 
Well my lovelies that is it! I really wanted to get a post up for you. Please pleaseeee tell me what kind of posts you want to see! And follow me on my Instagram @ellietaylorrxx and my twitter @ellietaylorxo
