May Favourites xoxo


This month I have been enjoying a few things so I thought I would share them with you.


1.Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette.
                       
I have really been loving this palette this past month. Unfortunately I got this whilst I was in Spain so I only know the price I got it for which was about 47 Euros.
What I like about these eye shadows are that they are extremely pigmented and they look gorgeous on the eyes. I have used some eye shadows more than others some of my favourites are:
Marzipan (the rose gold colour)
                                                        Crème Brulee (the gold)
                                                        Champagne Truffle (the champagne colour)


2. MAC Lipstick in Creme Cup.



I got this lipstick quite recently and I really love it. As you can see it is Creme cup and it is a creamsheen finish. It was £15.50 which is a little bit expensive but I think MAC lipsticks are well worth the money. I would describe this lipstick as a pinky pink nude (that doesn't make sense but) I would say that it is more of a pink rather than a nude but it's not a bright pink. It definitely looks more pink in the picture. This is my first MAC lipstick and I am really happy with it, I do think that this is a good first lipstick as it is really natural but not too nude.



3. Essie Nail Polish in Mint Candy Apple.



I got this nail polish because I have heard a lot about this on YouTube. It is on the boots website for £7.99 so it is quite affordable. I love Essie nail polishes because they are just the most beautiful colours and they are very good quality. With this nail polish I can get away with one coat but I like to do two just to get any the spots I might have missed. I like to use my Barry M top coat, bottom coat and nail hardener with any nail polish and I think that is really good as well.


4. The Body Shop Hand Cream in the Pink Grapefruit scent. 





As you might know from my last review I am a big fan of lotions and hand creams so this is right down my street. This hand cream was £3.50 and I got it because it smells amazing. I really like the pink grapefruit scent from the body shop. This is really moisturising and sinks in pretty fast but I
 really bought this because of the scent.


5. Simple Micellar Cleansing Water



I actually got this free from the simple tent free but you can get this from boots for £4.49. This is really nice to take off makeup and that is what I use it for. I have really sensitive skin and this does not irritate my skin like the Simple Micellar Cleansing Wipes do. I really don't like them because they sting my eyes and make my skin red. But the water is really nice and takes of my makeup so smoothly it also kind of leaves my skin a little moisturised which is always nice.


6. Simple Hydrating Light Moisturiser



You might know now that I really do like Simple as a brand because they are really nice on my skin except for the wipes that I mentioned before but this moisturiser is really moisturising and as it says it is really light so it just sinks into the skin and it doesn't seem sticky or it doesn't leave any residue. This is from boots for £4.50. Simple is quite affordable which something I do like about it.


7.  Necklace from Claire's

First of all sorry about the bad quality picture I don't know what happened there but anyway this necklace I got in Spain for 10 Euros but I think you can get it in the UK for about £8.99 but if not you would be able to find something very similar. I really love this for just adding something extra to an outfit. I think this is good because it is gold so it does go with quite a few outfits and you can really dress something up with this or you can keep it everyday so it is very useful.


8. PointlessBlog  Phone Case


Last but definitely not least is this phone case. I only got it a few days but how could I not put this in because I am in love with it. The finish on this is quite rubbery in a good way and kind of soft( if that makes sense) also it is really good quality and I love the saying on it because that is something that I try to live by and I think it's great just to have it as an everyday reminder on my phone. 




So that was everything, I hope you liked finding out what I have been loving this month. I would recommend any of these products because I think that they are awesome.
