PLANET LO : April Favourites :)

Greetings earthlings,

Ok so I've read a lot of these monthly favourites blog posts and I like them. That said, there is one thing about them that really annoys me. The cost of their content.

Yes, we would all like to have enough money to buy tons of expensive make up clothes and anything else we fancy but in most people's case this is not realistic. sure know that in my case it is not. After reading these posts I ended up feeling jealous and bitter. Bringing me right back to my toddler days.

Because of this I have decided to start an affordable monthly favourites post every month(obviously).

I have decided not to put anything that cose over 15 euro in the post. And even better, some of the things are free!

So without further adue here are some of my favourite things from April! :

Beauty Products

1. Rimmel BB Cream (8.75 in Boots)

I know, I know, I'm late hopping on the BB cream bandwagon, oh well at least I finally got on!
I love this stuff. Its feels really light on my skin which I love. It's not amazing with regards coverage but I find that if I use a bit of concealer before hand my skin looks perfect when I put the BB cream on.

2. Ted Baker Body Spray (7 euro in Boots)

I love perfume but they are way overpriced in my opinion. If I ever do have a perfume I like to save it for special occasions and go with a body spray for everyday use. I love smelling nice and this stuff smells great. I'm always concious of the two things few people are going to tell you: That you smell bad or that you have smelly breath. This is why I am always covered in body spray and chewing gum.

3. John Frieda Frizz-Ease Daily Miracle Treatment- part of a 2 for 10 euro deal in Boots.

I've been looking for a hair product that will protect my hair from the hear aswell as nourishing it and controlling frizz. This is it. It does exactly what it says on the tin. I've been putting in my hair while its still damp and I've really noticed an improvement in the condition of my hair.

Tv show

Sherlock.
I recently started watching Sherlock on dvd(its broadcast on BBC) and I fell in love with it. As the name suggests, its a show about a detective. I am usually too much of a scardey cat to watch anything that isn't ridiculously light hearted so I'm quite proud of myself that I enjoy Sherlock. The script is extremely well written. The storylines are great and I found myself on the counch with my sister screaming our plot guesses at the television. We were of course, wrong every time.

Book

Along came a stork by Marisa Mackle.
I got this book for 5 euro in Dunnes Stores and haven't looked back since.
I've been trying to ease myself back into reading and this is the perfect easy read to do just that. The storyline is as the title suggests, its a bit ridiculous and predictable but thats excatly why I love it. Its set in Ireland which makes it hilarious to read. I like to support Irish writers if I can so I'm happy to buy and recommend this book.

Food

Technically this isn't a food, its a drink. I titled this category food as opposed to drink because I thought if you saw drink you would think I'd be naming my favourite alcoholic beverage of the month. Which I shall not, as I know that all of you are not over eighteen and I do not want to receive any emails from angry parents blaming me for their childs downward spiral into the world of alcoholism because I introduced them to some sweet spirits! Wow that was a long winded introduction to Green Tea. Yes, that is my favourite drink at the moment. But just the one with Lemon and Echinacea, the other one is vile.

Song

I've been listening to a lot of music recently so I've decided to pick three songs. I've been really into remixes of late which is odd as I used to hate them. Yay for growing as a person.

Here are the songs I've been loving this month. (click on the song title to listen to them)

Destiny's Child Say My Name Remix

Passion Pit-Carried Away

Rihanna Stay Remix

I have decided to save the best for last....
