May Favourites!

Pinch punch, it's the first of the month!

I can't believe it's time for my May Favourites already! This year is going by too quick! When I thought of what products to include in my favourites these products were the first ones that sprung to mind.

L'Oreal Elnett Satin Very Volume Supreme Hold Hairspray

I have a love hate relationship with hairspray, as I can never find one that I love and that I'd be willing to stick to, as hairspray either: won't hold my hair; make my hair look and feel like cardboard or make my hair look greasy and dirty. This one however has done none of those things! This keeps my hair in place without making it look like it has a lot of hairspray in, however if too much is sprayed then it will turn you hair to cardboard (not literally.) I have now found my hairspray love and I will definitely be repurchasing one I have ran out.

Real Techniques Expert Face Brush

This brush is my absolute favourite! I love how to the brush can stand up on it's on own and has a big sturdy, yet light handle. The quality of the bristles are so good, especially for a high street brand. Whilst I've been using this brush I've been able to use a lot less foundation, as it spreads out evenly. This brush is around the £10 mark, but the brush will last and it is such good quality.

Maxfactor facefinity All Day Flawless Foundation

I've used this foundation twice now and that may not seem like long enough to get to love the product, but after going from such a bad quality foundation to this one, I'm not surprised I love it so much! With my old foundation you would need at least two or three pumps to get a full coverage, but with this one only one is needed and it goes a long way! It provides a good coverage and doesn't feel cakey on the skin. This foundation however is matte, so if you have dry skin (like myself) then you will either need to moisturize before using this or use a vitamin E cream which I use and then it's not possible to see the dryer patches.

Essie: Turquoise & Caicos

 The colour for this is such a close match to 'Tiffany blue' it's crazy! The drying process for this polish takes about 3-5 minutes which I don't think is bad, as I have had polishes before that take about 7-9 minutes to dry. I've heard a lot of reviews saying that this polish is very watery, but I don't think it is at all with only one coat it was a pale turquoise, but already very opaque and could be worn like that and then with the second coat the colour is perfect and doesn't need another. 

Beauty Haul

Hello lovelies!

The past week I have been shopping quite a lot this week in which I have pretty much made myself bankrupt; mostly because Superdrug have a 3 for 2 offer on which I just can't resist! I may also do a separate post of what clothes I bought, so I can keep all of the beauty items in this post. I would alos like to say that I didn't buy all of these in just one trip.

Essie: Turquoise & caicos

This colour is so pretty! Don't ask my what caicos is or how to pronounce it though, apparently it's an island... I'm not to sure.This is actually my first Essie polish and I'm so excited to try it! The colour is like a seafoam green pastel/ turquoise and at the moment turquoise is one of my favourite colours! This cost £7.99S

Bourjois: Delice de Pordre Peaux claires medianes 51 

Trying to type the name was a bit of the challenge.I have heard so people rave about this bronzer that I had to go and get one for myself, this will be my first bronzer. The packaging also seems amazing as it closes with a magnet and seems to be really sturdy. I'm excited to try it! This cost £6.99 which I don't think is too bad.

  Sleek: Divine Eye Shadow Au Naturel

I've been after a good naturals palette for a while now and I couldn't decide whether to buy this one or the Soap and Glory one and I was all set to get the Soap and Glory until I went into boots and they didn't have any of What's Nude left, so I decided to get this one and plus this one is cheaper, as it costs £7.99, and has a wider variety of colours, with four shimmers and eight mattes. I do apologize for the second picture as I had to try really hard to try and not get myself in it, as when I was taking this it wasn't long after I had woken up.

Real Techniques Expert Face Brush

I've wanted this brush for a while now, but the price has always put me off as I think that £10 is quite expensive for a makeup brush, but I took the plunge and decided to buy it. I use a liquid foundation and this brush is specifically for cream or liquid foundation. The brush handle is easy to hold and the brush feels gentle and soft. I think I may be in love with a make up brush...

Katy Perry Lashes for Eyelure - Cool Kity

If you have seen my beauty wishlist you will know that these were on there. These are my first false eye lashes and I will be wearing or attempting to wear them for prom depending on how well I can apply them, but I've heard that they are easy to apply and they have a good amount of instructions all over the back of the packaging, I'll give it a go and we'll see what happens! These cost £5.95 and I don't have any complaints about that.

Rimmel London 5 in 1 Nail Care

This is another product that I featured on my beauty wishlist. I have tried this product a couple of times and I can see a difference already! Whilst using this my nails are also growing quite quickly as well! I love the brush, as I think the polish applies well and as it is also a base coat and a top coat it makes my nails look shiny, so I think when used over a colour it will really make the colour shine. I think this product is worth the money as it only cost £4.59

Organix Moroccan Argan Oil Shampoo and Conditioner

I also hear good reviews about these, so I thought that I would try them for myself (They fact that they were on 2 for £10 at Superdrug also helped me to get them, haha) One thing that I can't seem to stick to is Shampoos and Conditioners, I will rave about them and love them, but then as time goes on I get bored and want to try something new, so in came these. I also love the packaging, as I think that it's different and cute. I've also smelled this and the smell is amazing!

Revlon Lip Butter - Sweet Tart

I have worn this and I was won over by how hydrated my lips felt and how it made my lips look healthy. The colour is a bright bubblehum pink, but can be toned down for a more subtle summer/spring look. This colour also adds a perfect finishing touch to anything fun and girly. This is my second lip butter, as I also have Candy Apple and neither of them have disappointed. 

Maxfactor facefinity All Day Flawless Foundation

I've been after a foundation for a while since the one that I had didn't suit my skin tone and was slightly orange.I would swatch this, but it was expensive and I don't want to waste it, as I took these quite a while after I had originally done my makeup. I have the shade 'Warm Almond' and it is perfect for my skin tone, it is not to pale and looks very natural. The foundation is long lasting, as it has lasted all day and not worn off, smudged or gone patchy. The only downside is that it is very expensive, as it retails at £11.99
