Well we are nearing the end of May and leaving Spring behind and
heading straight into Summer. Eeek super exciting, and even though I am a self
professed winter gal I am really looking forward to some warmer weather and
picnics outside! So that aside I thought I would do this post on my May
favourites as I absolutely love to read (and watch) what other people have been
loving, as that’s where I get my inspiration from when planning my next
shopping spree. So lets get started…
1. Clarins ‘flash beauty balm’ – Love love
love this. I actually ‘borrowed’ this from my mum, but it has now taken a
permanent residence in my make-up bag and I am totally fine with that. I have
quite dry skin and I find this really gives me the pick me up I need when I am
giving my skin a breather from a full make up look. It really lives up to its
name because it brightens and tightens my skin in seconds and has me ready to
go. Perfect for mornings when you over sleep and don’t have time to apply much
make-up. Occasionally I will use it as a primer before applying foundation and
it really helps to radiate my face and keep my foundation looking fresh.
2. Benefit ‘Hoola bronzing powder’ – I am
quite a creature of habit and so when I find a product that works, I work it
for a long time! I received this in a Benefit beauty box at Christmas and have
not gone back since. I love using this to contour with and find it really
accentuates my cheekbones; the brush it comes with is really useful to get that
angled shape of the cheekbone. It’s really buildable and that’s why it is
perfect for contouring with. I am not a fan of shimmery bronzers, as I like to
define with a separate highlighter so this is perfect for me.
3. Barry M ‘super soft eye crayon’ – I have
been repurchasing this product for around three years and will continue to do
so for many more. It is the perfect eyeliner for the water line of your eyes.
It’s really easy to apply and leaves the eyes looking so clear and defined in
seconds. A great product to have on the go with you. I like to buy the black
matte colour.
4. L’Oréal‘super liner’ – I am not really that great at applying
eyeliner to my eyelids. In fact in the past I have been known to be quite
disastrous but this product has made it so much easier for me. It glides on
really easily and with a bit of practice it’s really easy to accomplish that
cat eye look I’ve always wanted. I buy this in matte black and would really
recommend to eyeliner beginners!
5. Clarins ‘instant smooth perfecting touch’ – Well wowza, I love this product. I got a free tester pot when I
made a purchase from Clarins and it was the best freebie I’ve had. As soon as
it runs out I shall repurchase. It’s used as a skin primer, but I really love
using it as a base for eye shadow and for any patches of dry skin I may have
before applying my make up and it’s amazing! It has the softest texture I’ve
ever used and spreads straight onto my skin, leaving it looking even and flawless.
6. Benefit ‘they’re real mascara’ –I
received this in the same benefit beauty box that I discussed above and it’s
the same story. I haven’t had to use fake lashes since I got this, it makes my
lashes look long and luscious (great alliteration there!). Its’ not waterproof
so in a busy day it can smudge but that’s not something that cant be dealt
with. Really love it and will continue to buy!
7. Ciara daily ‘my hero foundation brush’ –
I was lucky to attend a beauty event at the beginning of the year and found
Ciara daily make up. This has become one of my favourite brushes. The bristles
are really soft and glide onto my face perfectly. I like to use it to set
powder and it does the job really well. Definitely worth checking them out.
8. Tangle teezer – I have had this brush
for ages but I couldn’t not include it in my first ever favorites. This brush
comes everywhere with me and it still amazes me how it can get through any knot
in my hair with out the aggravated hair tugging that you get with other
brushes. Perfect.
9. Blistex 'daily lip conditioner'– I
really cannot give this product enough praise. Without a doubt the best lip
care product I have ever used. It keeps my lips super moisturised and gives
them an extra plump. I like to use it as a lipstick base before I apply lip
liner or lipstick as it keeps my lipstick on for hours!
10. L’Oréal colour riche ‘Fairest Nude’ 800
– I am sure as time progresses you will get to know that there is nothing that
I love more than a perfect nude lip and this is just it! I have been searching
for this colour for ages, literally months and it turns out that I had to order
it from the USA, but it is well worth it. It is the perfect shade of nude.
Its from the colour riche range so it has Omega-3 oils and Vitamin E which keeps your
lips from drying out and as I am prone to getting dry lips this is great and it
keeps my lips really full and defined. Would definitely recommend.
Thanks for reading. What have been your May favorites, do you have
any products that’s you are looking forward to trying in June?
Much
Love
