May Favourites!
Hey guys! I can't believe it's already June, i don't even know where this year as gone, it's crazy! But what another month gone does mean it's now time for a favourites post, my May favourites! May was a good month for trying new products as it was my birthday so i got to try new birthday gifts and it also meant i got some money, so i could go out and buy new products to try (yay!). (I apologise for the odd picture quality, i took the photos at night so i had to use my flash!)
Hope you enjoy!
My first favourite is my new brushes from Amazon! Now, i don't even know the brand of these make-up brushes, they were sort of an impulse buy when i really needed a new set, but i love them! They came in a pack with a couple of foundation brushes (one i gave to my mother) one i've been using to contour and another i've used for blush, along with a few eye-shadow brushes. They were only £12 and they were a complete steal, they look good and i'm glad i bought them! (Here's a link if you want to have a look too! http://www.amazon.co.uk/XCSOURCE%C2%AE-Professional-Concealer-Eyeshadow-Foundation/dp/B00JR2NKHC/ref=sr_1_57?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1401740460&sr=1-57&keywords=make+up+brushes)
Next, is something i got my birthday. If you know me then you know i have a big thing for candles, i own way too many.. BUT my parents still decided to buy me one for my birthday, the Yankee Candle Grapefruit! I have a lot of "christmass-y" scented candles as i collected rather a lot over the holidays, so it was nice to get a summery, fruity candle for the spring and summer! I love to light it when i'm just chilling in my room, or even while i'm having a bath, it's such a light scent that it makes your room smell lovely and summery! I'm not sure of the price as it was a birthday present but if you're a yankee candle fanatic then i'm sure you'll know anyway!
My third favourite is a new lip product that i've been wanting to try for a long time. I've heard Zoella and Tanya Burr talk about these but i wanted to wait for summer to try out all of their colour! The Bourjois colour boost lip sticks, my favourite is the colour is 01 red sunrise, it's a gorgeous berry red colour that's perfect for summer time! These lip products are moisturising, they're super pigmented and go on really lovely, they're easy to blend if you want a subtle look. They claim to last ten hours and claim to be water proof too, now i don't believe they will last that long, but they do last a really long time regardless!
Next, is my Soap and Glory brow archery eyebrow pencil/felt tip. Again, i'd heard Zoella mention this on her monthly favourites and decided to give it a try too, it did not disappoint, i loved it! On one end is a felt tip and on the other is like a wax so you can use either end to fill in your brows, i use both, i use the felt tip to fill them in, then i use the wax just to brush through them afterwards. I always struggle to find a decent eyebrow product that will work for me but now i've found this i don't want to change to anything else! Highly recommend!
Total moisture by Benefit! I got this in a set for my birthday along with a few other cleansing bits and this is by far my favourite! I only got the little tub but i'll most certainly be getting the larger one! This moisturiser is quite thick so you don't need a lot and it feels lovely on the skin, it makes my skin feel so soft and i love applying it before bed along with my other night time skin care! (I made a blog post on that, which i'll leave a link of here: http://aprilnicoleclark.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/my-night-time-skin-care-routine.html)
Next is the Tanya Burr lip gloss in the colour vampire kiss! Now, before i tried these i used to hate lip gloss it's always so sticky and i can't never apply it properly and i much preferred to stick to lipsticks, but this has converted me! I'm a big fan of Tanya and her youtube videos so it felt right to try out at least one of her lip glosses and i loved it straight away! It glides on so easily, the colour lasts a long time, they're so pigmented and so overall so lovely to wear! I wore it at the GNAA ball (i made a post about that here: http://aprilnicoleclark.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/gnaa-charity-ball-make-up-look-and.html) i didn't need to touch up during the night at all and it kept my lips moisturised as well.
Well, that's it! They are my favourite products for the month of May, hope you enjoyed!
