May Makeup Favourites

3rd June 2016

I’m always so late at uploading my monthly favourites, whoops! it is only the 3rd June so it still counts hehe, But I just want to share a couple of my beauty favourites for the month of may. It isn’t as much as last month as to be honest I’ve mostly been using and loving the same stuff apart from these bits I’m going to mention.

I actually still cant believe its June already and it doesn’t even feel like it, where I am we have no sun at all!! so depressing it feels like winter, but even though the weather isn’t nice I’m still in summer mode with my makeup. I’m starting to use more dewy/Luminous foundation and highlighters.

may faves3

Most of these products I’m going to mention I’ve done previous posts on, I will link them if you fancy a read.

first up we have the sleek solstice Highlighter Palette

may faves2

Since I purchased this palette I’ve been using it non stop all month, I’m loving it, its such an amazing drug store highlighter. I wont go into to much detail as I have done a post here about it with swatches etc. But Its a must have I would really recommend this as its so versatile.

 

Benefit watt’s up

may faves8

I’ve had this highlighter for ages and I missed placed it, but recently I found it again and have been using it ever since, Its such a popular highlighter by benefit and is loved by many and I can see why.  Its a cream to powder highlighter and the packaging alone is gorgeous, its a champagne shade not to gold which I love as I have so many golds, this is quite unique in my highlighter collection. This is definitely a highlighter I use more in summer.

BECCA cosmetics Backlight filter primer & aqua luminous foundation

may faves9

I think I’ve talked about these non stop since I got them but these are still my favourite combo lately, the back light primer is stunning, gives a luminous glow on the skin and can be worn alone or under foundation, and the foundation is a light-medium coverage although I think its more medium, it gives a lovely dewy finish without being greasy or wet looking. I feel like the longer this foundation is on the nicer it looks, If you love dewy or luminous skin in the summer months I would suggest these 2 products to achieve that, these are the perfect duo. I have done a little post on the foundation here and I will also be doing a separate post on the backlight primer so keep an eye out.

H&M brown sugar blush

may faves12

I mentioned about this blush In my H&M beauty haul post here but I’ve really been loving this shade, I’m fussy with blushes to be honest the only 3 I ever use are melba, warm soul and blushbaby from MAC so I was surprised I liked this one so much, I tend to stick to pink/mauve type blushes.  Its very pigmented and applies and blends out lovely.

 

Jeffree Star Cosmetics Celebrity skin

may faves5

lastly is JSC celebrity skin, I’ve literally worn this everyday since I got this from cocktail cosmetics, I had been wanting to try this for months but it was always out of stock, I’ve got a thing about brown tone nudes I just prefer them over pink nudes and this is such a gorgeous shade, depending on what lip liner you pair this with it can look different each time. Liquid lipsticks are my weakness and all I buy lately, I actually can’t remember the last time I wore a normal lipstick. some people find liquid lipsticks drying but I’m so used to them now that it doesn’t bother me. The formula of JSC is nice its very watery as you can see by the messy cap but it does last a good 3 hours on me before it stars to fade in places, that’s with eating as well and I don’t find the formula drying or uncomfortable.

 

That rounds up a few of my May Favourites 🙂 let me know below what you have been loving?

    I love H&M Beauty – they have such stunning and affordable products! I’m obsessed with their summer range of nail polishes too – so cute.

    Mind checking out and commenting on my recent?

    I bought the Sleek highlighting palette for my sisters birthday and have been so jealous after seeing her use it! It really is amazing isn’t it!

    So jealous you managed to get Celebrity Skin, you lucky lady! So badly want this lipstick, and a few other JS ones. His colour range is beautiful!

    If you like Becca Cosmetics stuff you should definitely try out Champagne Pop. They made it with Jaclyn Hill and it is AMAZING!!

      You have to get one for yourself I love it! Best drugstore highlighters ever, I’ve got champagne pop but I don’t use it that much to be honest I need to get it out and start using it again as I do love the shade. Xo

My Santa has been and John has only got me Dalmati My Santa has been and John has only got me Dalmatian print wrapping paper 😭 this could have been my present alone and I would have been thrilled! Love how it goes with my Dalmatian baubles 🤩 he knows me so well 🎁 🖤and it’s completely recyclable 👌🏼♻️
Just the presents to put under the tree, the annua Just the presents to put under the tree, the annual Christmas Eve clean up, set up the Christmas Day table and get myself sorted and pampered and we are all ready!! Can’t wait to just chill for a few days as Christmas always goes so quick doesn’t it. I Hope you all have a lovely Christmas whatever it is you will be doing 🎄 🎅🏻🤶🏻 🎁 🍾🥂 here’s some pictures of my tree with the lights on, it’s weird as these lights I got from the range look different each time I turn them on 🙈 I think I prefer my old ones from last year to be honest👀
I’ve been looking for dog harnesses and leads fo I’ve been looking for dog harnesses and leads for a while now as we wanted something new for the new additions we have. I got Elliott’s old ones from America and I just hadn’t seen anything I really loved until I came across @popandtedthreads and I fell in love with their whole range, especially the made to order personalised ones where you can pick your own fabric, trim and hardware colours.  Of course I just had to have this monochrome Dalmatian print fabric😍🤩 I can’t believe they’re completely hand made, I’m so impressed with the quality and finish.  You can tell a lot of hard work and love goes into these so thank you @popandtedthreads my little pups are going to love their new stuff for Christmas and will look so cute!! Thought I would share incase anyone else was looking for really unique dog accessories 🖤
I really wanted to change up this Christmas Wreath I really wanted to change up this Christmas Wreath this year and add some bits to it but I just haven’t had the time, not even put up half of my Christmas decorations that I wanted to. 😭 So I just added some more snow and glitter to this and have made do 🙈 honesty where has this year and month gone...it’s flown by and I’m not ready for Christmas in the slightest, got to finish my shopping tomorrow and wrap everything, do the food shop and have a good clean up in the house! Oh take me back to being a kid and being excited for Christmas ha ha! 🎅🏻🤶🏻🎄
Another job ticked off the list and one step close Another job ticked off the list and one step closer to finally finishing everything in the kitchen yay. 😊 I really wanted an antique mirror cooker splash back, it’s the reason I didn’t go for tiles in here and went for up-stands instead as I didn’t want it looking OTT and I definitely think less is more in the kitchen. This white antique glass was specially made and took about 6-8 weeks but I love it. 🤩You can really see the antique detailing up close (swipe for pic) although we have had some slight issues with the measurements on the boxing in area around the island which we also wanted in glass. A little disappointing, so that’s got to be sorted out but I’m hoping it will be done before Christmas 🤞🏻
I just love Christmas decor ☺️ everything feel I just love Christmas decor ☺️ everything feels so cosy 🎄✨I’m surprised I’ve got any chocolates and sweets left on my tables though, because my niece keeps trying to eat them all when she comes over 😂
Christmas tree reveal 🤩🌲🎄 Although I pret Christmas tree reveal 🤩🌲🎄 Although I pretty much showed it on my Instagram stories🙊swipe for lots more up close pics....it’s a bit of a weird one this year, as I’m not feeling Christmassy in the slightest yet, this tree and all the decorations were supposed to be for the new kitchen but that plan has gone out the window thanks to the two new puppies that have taken over my kitchen. So I’ve used all these bits for the living room instead. Sorry for my lack of posts,  I’ve got a hell of a lot going on and I’m still not 100% myself. Details below •Christmas tree 🎄 -  is the snowy alpine 6ft from @christmastreeworld and I am obsessed! It’s so gorgeous and full looking! •All the flowers and sprays - from @tonyalmondonline ( my best find this year for amazing affordable decorations) •other decorations from @therangeuk and my local garden centres @longacresbagshot & @oaktreegardencentre •made the Dalmatian baubles myself it was so easy •stocking holders @homesense_ukie and the fluffy stockings are from @ebay_uk
Can’t believe how many messages I’ve had about Can’t believe how many messages I’ve had about this when I posted it on my stories over the weekend🙈 I literally just wanted something to store all my hair styling tools so they didn’t look all messy and tangled. I ended up on eBay and found and ordered these wall mounted holders...I didn’t even know they did special dyson hairdryer holders but I had to have one! I sprayed mine gold (obviously) because I didn’t want them black or silver and attached them to the side of my Ikea Alex unit and I’m so pleased with how it looks ☺️ These GHDs are also yearsssss old but some how still work perfectly and I can’t part with them because they’re a gorgeous gold! 😭
Another side of my beauty/dressing room....I’ve Another side of my beauty/dressing room....I’ve always wanted a proper dressing area, somewhere I can get ready and have all my clothes and accessories to hand. Before I was going in 2/3 rooms just to find bits, as I had it all scattered around 🙈 So pleased I went with the ikea corner pax wardrobe and got very excited over the pull out tray for my jewellery and accessories. (It’s the little things)...I don’t need no fancy pretty hammonds wardrobe....Ikea will do me nicely 😂 My bags won’t be staying like this either as I need to get another shelf next time I go to Ikea. I originally thought I needed more rail space but turns out I don’t, I think I just liked the idea of these pull out rails 🤨
I recently switched my beauty room around, (if you I recently switched my beauty room around, (if you watch my stories you would have seen) So I now have the bigger spare bedroom for my beauty and dressing area yay! And I’m so pleased with it. 😍 I’ve got so much more room now and I had a good sort out and declutter while I was at it, and no more buying makeup I don’t need✋🏻 the Dalmatian spots won’t be going back on the wall but I’ve got use for them somewhere else 👀 I love Dalmatian print but I thought with my new Dalmatian rug it was a little over kill 😂
Got these faux fur Dalmatian cushions from next fo Got these faux fur Dalmatian cushions from next for the living room...didn’t like how they looked in here for some reason, as preferred my other ones🙈 so these are now on the sofa in John’s gaming room 😂 I’m wondering if he will notice that my dalmatian print obsession will slowly be taking over in that room too 👀🙊
I love me some gold and spotty print office statio I love me some gold and spotty print office stationery!! America have the best stuff, which I’m sorry to say is where most of this is from but I often see gorgeous bits in tkmaxx and Homesense. Now my desk is all clean and tidy I must get back to actually blogging and doing some work 👀✍🏻👩🏼‍💻
Never seen such gorgeous and unusual coloured pamp Never seen such gorgeous and unusual coloured pampas before. 😍 Absolutely love @foxglove.studio / @foxglove.studiothekiosk for their amazing selection of dried flowers and the service is always brilliant. These are like a grey/ silver tone and are absolutely beautiful and so fluffy. I’m hoping their  website is up and running soon so I can browse and buy lots more 👀🤞🏻plus so many people keep asking me where all my dried flowers are from 🌾🌾
So happy I got these over the sofa side tables. I’ve had my eye on these for a while now and found them in my local tk maxx and they weren’t damaged for a change so I had to get them. They make the perfect side tables when you don’t have much room. 🖤
