Im a little late but hey, thats life.
Here are my May Favourites, I tried to keep them in some kind of order.
Hair products, Makeup, Body and then just some random bits and bobs!
Moroccan Oil
This is really more of a life favourite than just May. I used this years ago but recently fallen back in love with it. My boyfriend bought it me after one of our holidays and Ive used it since. If any of you have watched friends, my hair resembles Monica's in humidity. However I get the pleasure of that frizz all year round. Whatever I do to my hair it seems to become damaged very easily but this really has been a life saver! Its a super thick consistency but smooths through the hair when wet really well. I find it doesn't weigh my hair down like some oils do. Just helps to fight my frizz plus it smells yummy to.
Herbal Essences Clearly Naked Volume Range
I heard about this Shampoo from Imogen from foxy locks extensions youtube channel.
I bought this Shampoo & Conditioner after she spoke about it and it really appealed to me. They claim to be totally natural and clear of any Silicones, Parabens or Colourants.
Ive never really been that interested in hair care as I've never found a shampoo or conditioner to make that much of a difference but this actually dramatically improved my hair! They smell UH-mazing and they lather beautifully. Ive always found shampoos that claim 'volume' or 'moisturising' to just do nothing or turn my hair greasy. This however is true to its word and really does add loads of volume to your hair. I can totally feel the difference with no Silicones as my hair feels naturally healthy, not just coated. Its lightweight and lasts ages before getting greasy. This is a total triumph in my books and I don't think i'll try anything else for a very long time.
Garnier Ultimate Blends Dry Shampoo
Well, who doesn't love dry shampoo. It saves us girls when we can't be bothered to wash and blow-dry and it adds great volume so I pretty much love dry shampoo as a whole. However, the one thing I don't like is that white chalky residue you get (Im mainly talking about Batiste). I also know you can get ones for coloured hair but I found the brunette version used to stain my hands and I hated it.
I love this one because you simply don't get that. No residue, no horrible chalky feeling on your hands and it smells of Vanilla.
Winner.
Charlotte Tilbury Wonder Glow
I won't go to much into detail as I already posted about this but god I love it. Perfect for all skin types this just adds the most gorgeous glow. I used this at a wedding I did the other day and all the bridesmaids made a point of asking what was on their skin.
Maybelline Brow Drama in Dark Brown
I bought this after using HD's Brow Beater which is a clear formula. I fancied trying one with a tint and I fell in love with this. One of the best brow mascaras I've used. Dark Brown in a perfect colour for me and it keeps my hairs in place all day. I had so many compliments when I started using this and its now an essential part of my makeup routine.
NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Stockholm
I actually bought this last year and forgot about it. This is THE perfect pinky/nude lip and it drys completely matte. The staying power on this is ridiculous. Sometimes i've gone all day, including eating and drinking and this bad boys still going strong.
Nars Albatross Highlighter
Theres not to much to say about this. We all know how a highlighter works but I just seem to always go for this one. I get the most compliments and always get asked whats on my cheekbones when I'm wearing this. I also find you can make this as subtle or dramatic as you like whereas with some highlighters, your either in it for the full drag look or you shouldn't have bothered.
Real Techniques Sculpting Set
Im such a fan of real techniques. I have all their brushes so naturally I had to pick this new set up and I love it just as much as the others. The sculpting brush really stands out to me as its so soft and I love it for foundation as well as for contour. Thats one of the main things I love about RT brushes and the Pixiwoo sisters. All their brushes are so versatile and theres no right or wrong way to use them.
Laura Mercier Ambre Vanille Body Butter
UHH. God I love this scent sooo much. I cannot stop smelling myself and its so strong (in a good way) that even your bed sheets smell of it the next day. Its a super sweet vanilla scent and its such a thick, creamy consistency its a really brilliant moisturiser to. I tend to save this for occasions because you really don't need perfume when your wearing this.
Calvin Klein Summer
This was a present brought back for me from Florence and it is the perfect Summer scent.
Such a zesty refreshing smell I just love it. Even the bottle makes me thing of summer.
Models Own HyperGel Polish in Cornflower Gleam
I can't tell you how long I searched for this exact colour in a nail polish. I found someones nails on Pinterest and that was it, I was on a mission. I probably tried 4 or 5 colours which were never right but I finally found the perfect colour in this polish. Its such a beautiful pastel chalky blue colour which looks amazing with a tan. It also lasts really well which is bonus because I wasn't even bothered about the staying power at first, I was just so pleased to finally find this colour!
Zara Clutch
'Keep Your Life Simple' is the text. I just think this is really stylish and a girl can never have to much black. The leathers really soft and its nice and big so I can fit all my unnessecary girly rubbish in.
Proper corn Sweet Coconut & Vanilla
Me and my boyfriend stumbled across this in a health food shop in London a few months and it is SO delicious! Randomly when I was filling my car up the other day, they had these on offer in the petrol station so naturally I stocked up. They are so delicious and at under 40 cals they're not even that naughty. I have never seen these in other shops (sweet coconut and vanilla anyway) so heres hoping they become a permanent fixture at the petrol station!
House Of Cards
Two Words. Frank Underwood.
The mans ruthless and I just love Kevin Spacey. Completely consumed political drama series about a man obsessed with the presidency and having his name go down in history.
Its gripping but this show really needs your full attention because sometimes I put this on while I'm doing my makeup and realise I've missed about 5 twists and turns.
Watch it - You won't regret it.
