A Few of My Favourite Things in April

-
Wow I cant believe how quickly this year is going.  I didn't even get a chance to post about my favourite things in March.  Anyway here are my favourite things in:

I went to see Take That at Sheffield Arena during April and I loved it, it was a great concert one of my favourites.  I was lucky enough to be on the front row at the side for one of the concerts as I had bought VIP tickets and it was well worth it as we had a great view and at times the guys were a couple of feet away from us.  I think it will be one of the best things I do all year.




I also spent some time in Sheffield as I went to 2 concerts and I had a great time.  I stayed for a couple of days in a hotel across from Sheffield Arena and ate at Carluccio’s which had the best Carbonara that I’ve eaten and also had desserts at Thirty Nine Desserts and I have to say the desserts were so tasty and they were big portions at really reasonable prices.  I will definitely be finding an excuse to go back again for sure. 
I can’t believe how nice the weather was over the Bank Holiday Weekend.  Usually a Bank Holiday means that we will have rubbish weather and the Easter Bank Holiday felt like we were in the middle of Summer.  Now it’s back to cooler days but hopefully the good weather will be back soon.
I have started watching The Rookie recently which I am really enjoying.  It’s about a guy in his forties that decides to join the police force after an incident forced him to re-evaluate is life.  It doesn’t sound great, but Nathan Fillion is good in the lead role.  I definitely recommend it.
 
I went a bit mad on the run up to Easter and bought myself some Easter Eggs (yes I am on the Slimming World Plan but there are certain things that I just can’t resist).  The Malteser Easter Egg was my favourite overall, the chocolate Easter Bunnies were so tasty.

Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer Review - Bobbi Brown Dupe

-

I picked up the Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer because it looked like it was a dupe for the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base. The Primark version costs £4.50 for 45ml and the Bobbi Brown Face Base costs £48.50 for 50ml, so there is quite a price difference.   I had always wanted to try out the Bobbi Brown product, so when I received a mini version in a gift with purchase goody bag I was really excited to try it out, but I have to say I was somewhat underwhelmed.  I have quite dry skin and the face base did not have as much slip as I was expecting, so it didn't feel smooth when I applied my foundation. For the price I was expecting to love it way more than I did. It does have a lovely lemon smell which I really enjoy, where as the Primark version doesn't really have a fragrance.  Overall, I actually preferred the Primark version as it is thicker and it made for a better base for my foundation. It also seemed to be more hydrating. I have definitely reached mor

I have wanted to get an LED Mask for ages but with prices for some of them at over £400 I just haven't been able to pull the trigger and buy one yet.
