May Favourites



So spring has sprung and summer is just around the corner!! My exams are over and I can actually start to relax and do things I enjoy again. I thought the best way to start my summer holidays is with a favourites post. I've not done one in a while, so I will probably go through the main things I've been loving over the last few months, not just throughout May.

Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation

I had read really contrasting reviews for this product, but I was on the hunt for a new foundation and it was on offer, so I thought I would give it a try. Since the weather is SLOWLY heating up, the foundation I had been previously wearing (Mac Studio Fix) felt extremely heavy and wintery. I was looking for something more lightweight but still long lasting. I fell in love with this immediately and I've been using it daily for around 2 months now. I use shade no. 51 Light Vanilla, if anyone is curious. It has an amazing smell, it is light and cooling, but with actually pretty decent coverage and you would definitely be able to build it up if you desired. It doesn't feel like I am wearing a foundation and doesn't clog my pores once I start to get warm. I would highly recommend. LOVE LOVE LOVE. 

Rimmel Exaggerate Lip Liner

A few months back I'd been contemplating buying lip liner for the first time in ages, again I'd read a couple reviews and these came out around the top. This was the first I bought, in shade - 063 Eastend Snob - but since I've bought many more. I'm loving this colour at the minute and it is perfect for this time of year. As much as I love a red lip, nude pink lips are definitely my favourite for summer. I have been applying this all over my lips, and applying either Mac Plumful or Rimmel no.89. Either are amazing, one is slightly more matte than the other. The liner allows the colour to last so much longer on the lips, even once I've ate it is only a minimum top-up with my lipstick.

Benefit Hoola Bronzer

Since summer is just approaching my bronzer has made a reappearance in my make up routine - I tend to only apply blush in the colder months. I have multiple that I really enjoy but this is one of my favourites at the moment. I feel like it gives a natural glow but is very easy to build for a more defined contour...I have done this a couple times when I have been going on a night out. I just really like the colour and glow it gives my skin.

Mac Plumful Lipstick

I am utterly obsessed with this lipstick. As you know, I am a complete lipstick junkie. I own way too many but this one is definitely a must have!! I actually carry it constantly in my make up bag as it is just so easy to put on for an effortless look. It is quite a glossy lipstick but when you put it over a lip liner it becomes much more matte. I enjoy wearing it either way. I tend to wear less make up at this time of year and this is the perfect match for this look. I am 100% sure it will become one of my summer 2015 staple products.

Black Patent Shoes

I got these shoes in Garage shoes for around £25 I think. I have the same sort of style in other colours but not black. I fell in love with these automatically and they were surprisingly comfortable. I really enjoy wearing them with cute little socks, either with my jeans or with dresses. They kind of remind me of little girls school shoes but they are just so adorable. During the summer I really struggle to find sandals that I actually like and even when I do, I rarely wear them. So I thought these would be perfect for during the summer!! I just hope we get some warmer weather haha.

It's not a massive favourites post but due to uni I had zero social life and I basically spent most days either in my pyjamas or at work in my converse haha. Next months will probably be a little more exciting, as I already have loads of things I'm really enjoying. 



I hope you all have a fantastic summer!
