September Favourites

WOAHHH, bit late on the old favourites aren't i?! 
Anyway, this month I've bought far more products than necessary, my bank account is not happy! However this does mean that I have had a lot of new things to play with, resulting in a monthly favourites post! Yay!

First up is Soap and Glory's 'Hand Food'. This has been a saviour towards the end of this month. I get really dry skin on my hands when the winter starts approaching, and this year has been no exception. I got this in a Soap and Glory bundle as a gift for my birthday this year, and its been so so handy! It lives in my handbag and is perfect for when my hands are in need of a good moisturising! 

Next is a little sample of Dr Lipp's Original Nipple Balm for Lips. Sounds a bit bizarre eh?! This came in the September Glossybox and I'm so glad it did! It's a really thick consistency, which does feel quite sticky but it works wonders on dry and chapped lips! Definitely buying a full size one asap!

Another lip product, this one is the long awaited Baby Lips by Maybelline. Having just launched here in the UK, these have been on every beauty blog this month, but they are fab! This one Peach Kiss, is definitely my favourite, really moisturising and I love the subtle shimmer it adds.

Next is another Soap and Glory product. 'You Won't Believe Your Eyes' is an eye cream that brightens a 'de-puffs'. Working 5-6 days a week means I'm always fairly tired, and this has really helped to make it less noticeable. Its feels lovely applying it due to the 3 metal roller balls, making it really cooling and perfect for first thing in the morning. 

Continuing along the lines of eye brightening, I've also been loving Benefit's Ooh La Lift eye brightener. This really makes such a difference and has been so handy this month with my crazy workload. I use it by applying 3 dots under my eyes using the doe-foot applicator and pat it in using my ring finger. 

Lastly for my September faves is this Rimmel Blusher. I've never tried Rimmel's blush's before but was pleasantly suprised by this one called Live Pink (No. 050). Is a really pretty pink rose gold shade, and has been really flattering with my sadly fading (very slight) tan. And its so budget friendly! Such a bonus!

May Favourites

 Hello! 
Cant believe we're at the end of May already! Swear its flown by! 
I've bought quite a lot of make up/products this month so had a job choosing a few select bits that have become staples in my routine but  managed to whittle it down to five for ya.
Anyways, I thought I'd show you what I've been loving this month.

£4.50 here

First off is a cult beauty product that I'm pretty sure every beauty blogger in the world has heard of, Bioderma! I have been using this religiously for the last few weeks to remove my makeup. I find it really gets every scrap off my face and leaves my skin feeling squeaky clean. Its amazing for getting stubborn mascaras off easily aswell!

I bought this waaaaay back in December but never really got into it, however I rediscovered it a couple of weeks ago and am loving it. It says it will de-fluff, tame flyaways and de-frizz, All of which it does. I spray this on towel dried hair before I blow dry it an it really makes my hair smoother, softer and less all over the place, meaning I dont have to straighten it nearly as much which is something I'm trying not to do as my hairs pretty dry at the moment.

£22 here

OMG I love this purfume. I got a sample of this in a Glossybox last month? Maybe the one before? I absolutely adore the scent. I'm terrible at describing smells so im not going to attempt to but I think this is perfect for summer and I can see myself having to repurchase this over and over!

£19.10 here

Although this one was a little on the pricey-er side for a lippy it is definitely worth the money! Its a really rich moisturising balm which depending on skin colour etc comes out a dark sheer pink on the lips. I absolutely adore this and wear it everyday. I have no idea how it works and why the colouring is different on each person but I love it!

£4.49 here

This is another product I got in a recent Glossybox. At first I was a bit scared by the colour being it so bright and much darker than any other blusher I own. The first few times I used it I wasn't sure about it as I felt it looked a bit too much. However since trying it again I have found it look really pretty. A little goes a long away and blended out on the apple of the cheeks I think it looks really pretty and feminine. 

So there you have it, there's my top 5 picks from May. I hope you've enjoyed this post, thanks for reading!
