May Favourites
It’s that time
of the month again, monthly favourites!
This month I’ve been enjoying a whole bunch of random things. I’m going to try and do a video on it too so
look out for that. I’ve been a bit
rubbish with posting videos recently as I’ve had so much studying to do, sorry
about that. I will be back on form once
the exam is out the way (9 June!)
Anyway, back to May favourites…
The foundation
I’ve been loving this month is the Benefit Oxygen Wow foundation in ‘Honey
you’re so money’. I’ve only got a small
bottle of this as I got it in the ‘How to be the best at everything’ kit but I
think I will definitely purchase the large bottle. It’s quite dewy which is good for my dry skin
but not so much that it leaves you oily.
It’s the perfect shade for me too as I often fake tan.
I recently
bought this highlighter pen as I heard it was a dupe for the Mac prep and prime
pens. I think I actually showed it in my
last haul video here. I don’t think it’s
quite as good as the Mac one as it doesn’t seem as thick so I’m not sure I
would use it to conceal but as a highlighter it’s great. I’ve been using it for nights out in the
usual highlighting places and it looks fab.
I feel like I
mention these in every favourites post but that’s how much I love them. My favourite colour is the on and on bronze
because it’s so versatile and brown is my favourite eyeshadow colour. You can wear it on its own or as a base and
build a really nice smokey eye with it.
I think the reason I love these so much is because I quite often go out
straight from work and I can shove these in my make-up because they’re so
small, quickly blend it over my lid and I’m ready for a night out.
I’ve really
fallen back in love with my Naked palette this month. I’ve really been working the champagne
shimmery colours a lot because I think they’re so pretty for this time of the
year and the Naked palette has the perfect shades. I think this will always been my favourite
palette but I am on the look out for a new one so if you know of any goodens
please comment below!
Now that I’ve
had my extensions taken out and my hair is a lot shorter, I knew I wouldn’t be
able to style my hair exactly the same and I was a bit worried I would no
longer be able to use my beloved Remington Pearl wand. I have the conical wand too but that gives
tighter curls and I prefer a looser beachy wave. However, I got it out the other week and I’m
pleased to report it still does a good job.
I’m now really enjoying my shorter hair and finding different ways of
styling it. I think I will do a new hair
video soon so keep a look out for that.
I’m pretty sure
I’ve spoken out this toner before but it is really very good. I think the reason I like it so much is
because it’s in a spray bottle so there’s no messing around with cotton buds
and spreading germs around your face, you just spray it on and leave it a few
minutes to dry before applying oil or moisturiser. Easy peasy.
A non beauty
favourite I’ve been loving this month is my gorgeous necklace from New
Look. I actually bought it last summer but I've dug it back out for 2014 because it's just so pretty. Probably my favourite necklace of all time so far and I think it was less than a tenner! New Look do some great bits of jewellery for a such reasonable prices. I'm definitely going to go in there after payday and stock up as I find you have to be quick.
So you know how I'm on this major health kick at the moment (two weeks till Ibiza!) I've been absolutely loving the blender my mum got me for Christmas. I didn't even use it for the first few months but now I use it about 3 or 4 times a week. I've been trying out different recipes, some yummy, some not as much but all really healthy and I have it for breakfast. As the name suggests, it is actually really easy to use and clean.
