John Plunkett Essentials Anti ageing Creme Cleanser and Makeup Remover.
I received this as a sample in a Bella Box and have enjoyed it ever since. Its a cream cleanser that can be used both wet and dry. I use this primarily as makeup remover rubbing straight onto dry skin and taking off with damped makeup remover rounds it not only takes off all my make up but mascara and gel eyeliner as well it leaves my skin soft smooth and make up free. I am definitely going to purchase a full size and will be using this for a while.
Nivea Lip Butter Vanilla and Macadamia
I bought this from priceline after hearing some good reviews. I knew I would want something for winter and thought I would pick it up on special before I needed it. I have now finally opened it as the weather is getting cooler and my lips drier. Firstly I am astounded by how much product you get 19ml for less than $5 and secondly how mosituring this is it lasts pretty much all day. Iv'e mainly used it at night before bed and I wake up with soft moisturised lips that last great to be able to put colour over the top and not have to put on a balm first.
Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in the colour Honey
OK I have to admit this is a product after seeing so many you tubers rave!! I really have never been a lipstick wearer but after swatching this, I thought it would be a good colour to start with. I also had heard that the formula of these products was worth their price tag luckily for me though Priceline had their 40% off for two days and I thought I'd pick it up while the sale was on!!! Its a wearable neutral pink that goes on easily and colour is true to the packaging. It is buildable and it does stain which I found is good as I often don't reapply I just pop a balm over the top for a bit of extra moisture and gloss all day long. It also only has a light peppermint smell and no tingle usually associated with the peppermint inclusion.
Models Prefer Smooth Gel Liner Mystique Cosmic Purple and Black Magic
I cannot remember why I picked these up but I am so glad I did as they are amazing!! Initially I was intrigued by the fact that they said they were a gel liner but in a retractable pen. Cosmic Purple is a beautiful almost black purple with subtle purple glitter. It is a great alternative to a stock standard black and pairs well with just a sweep of neutral gold on the lid to make it pop. Black Magic is a black with a silver glitter that again is really subtle. They really are amazing. So smooth and creamy, as well as lasting as long as a gel liner able to be applied on the go and no need for a brush!!!
Essence Stay all day 16 hour Long Lasting Make Up
I haven't been particularly happy with any of my foundations recently. I have had everything from the colour going slightly orange, foundation sliding off and going patchy or I just end up so shiny I'm touching up multiple times during the day. This foundation has changed all of that it definetly stays all day I can put it on at 7am and still be looking flawless at 8pm. No touch ups, no orange, no sliding or turning patchy. It also stays matte!!!! With my oily combination skin this is the first foundation that has stayed put and doesn't require powder over the top. It is a light to medium coverage but is buildable and does blend well. I also love the pump at the top really gives you control of how much product you want to dispense great for those times you only need just a half pump more!!! Putting this one on the list of all time favourites!!!
MUA Blush Perfection Cream Blusher in the shade Dolly and Blossom
I bought both of these in my recent MUA order wanting some new blushes for autumn and winter. While I usually prefer a powder blush, I don't own that many cream blushes and was wanting to experiment more with different application techniques, as well as layering with other blushes. Dolly is a coral tone, while blossom has a pink tone. They both are easily blended onto the cheeks and give the cheeks a really beautiful glow. Primarily I have used my fingers to apply colour initially then blend out with my real techniques contour brush, but colour intensity is as good applied and blended out using a stippling brush. The best bit is that they do last all day and they are matte so you can choose if you want extra sparkle or not!!!!
Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Nail Polish in the shade 670 Midnight in NY
I received this in the recent Priceline beauty bag. I'm not usually into black polishes but this isn't the usual gloss black. This black based is flecked with both gold and purple shimmer its subtle but classy. The wider brush makes light work or application and lasts with not chipping for at least 4 days bonus!!!
Revlon Glitter Nail polish in 761
Channelling the beautiful sally hansen polish, I bought this black based purple glitter polish. Wanting to both to compliment and add an accent nail to my exciting mani. Being a black base and not a clear this polish can stand alone but using it over the top of my sally hansen really has added something special. I've worn the combination most of the month.
So that is all my May favorites. While I'm sad to see May go I have enjoyed the month and am excited to see what June and the winter brings!!! Try to stay warm and I'll talk to you soon.
Ever.
