May Favourites


Due to laziness I haven't really been wearing too much makeup throughout May, for my birthday I got the Mac pro long wear concealer and it has become a staple in my makeup bag, on days where I don't want to wear foundation I have just been dabbing this under my eyes and onto my nose and calling my base complete. it's high coverage and doesn't crease under my eyes which is a miracle because concealer just loves to crease on me.

Since going blonder I've wanted to keep my hair extra nourished to ensure that it stays healthy and soft, my hair dresser recommended to me the uniq one all in one coconut hair treatment and I have fallen in love with the scent more than anything, it lingers around after I apply it to damp hair and who doesn't want their hair to smell like coconut? this product leaves my hair looking extremely healthy and touchably soft.

The body shop vitamin C microdermabrasion has helped exfoliate away any dry patches on my skin and keep it looking smooth as well as giving it a radiance boost. I picked up the microdermabrasion and the vitamin c skin reviver in a set for £9 when the set retails for £27 which was too good an offer to pass up on, I had been eyeing up the microdermabrasion for a while so it seemed like the perfect time to pop them into my basket and it has certainly impressed me.

I think that the Lanolips lemonaid lip aid is the only product I have used on my lips all month, I've avoided all other lipsticks and lip balms and have stayed true to this little beauty. this product has been featured on my blog a lot over the past month and for good reason. this leaves my lips looking healthy, plump and keeps them nourished all day. it's exfoliating properties help to buff away any dead skin which leaves them looking extra smooth.

Monthly Favorites | March



 Rimmel wake me up foundation - £8.99 (Boots)

 I've been reaching for this little beauty over my normal foundation mac studio fix fluid (NC20) in an attempt
 to make myself look more awake and dewy and I really love this foundation, it's medium coverage and
 feels light on your skin, I'm in the shade soft beige.

 The body Shop vanilla body lotion - £8 (No longer available)

 I'm surprised I haven't got a spoon and started eating this stuff yet, it smells soo good. the bottle says
 "luxurious skin softening with warm vanilla scent" and I 100% agree, it's a sweet smell that isn't too over
 powering which lingers on the skin all day and leaves you soft and moisturized without being too heavy

 Macadamia healing hair oil treatment - £13.99 (Amazon) 

 I stopped using this for a few days and noticed my hair was getting unruly and looking dull, so I decided
 To use it again one night and I've gotten back into the routine of running this through my hair after every
 wash and it's made such a difference, my hair looks softer and sleeker. I'm currently half way through
 this bottle and it has lasted me months, i'll be repurchasing when it's finished

 Maybeline eye studio lasting drama gel liner - £7.99 (Boots)

 For the last few months I've gotten more confident with my appearance and stopped wearing so much
 make up on a day-to-day basis, which included eyeliner... recently I've started to really get back into
 it as I've missed my winged eyeliner! I have had this eyeliner for nearly 1 year now and it's 3/4 finished
 so it lasts an extremely long time without drying out! Not only that, it lasts all day without budging!

 Benefit "that gal" brightening face primer sample - Full size £22.50 (Boots)

 Now that it's spring everyone's craving that healthy summer glow, so I thought that this month I would take 
 "that gal" out for a test run, and i'm pleasantly surprised! it gives your skin a subtle glow and brightens
 up your appearance, i'm a faithful benefit porefessional user but this may give it a run for it's money during
 the hotter months.

 L'occitane dry skin hand cream - £8.00 (L'occitane website) 

 My hand savior. This stuff goes everywhere with me, university, work... everywhere! I get extremely
 dry hands in the colder months and this helped get rid of my tight, dry skin within a day... hoorah!
