Beauty Tuesday: May Favourites

Hey guys, this weeks Beauty Tuesday is going to be my May favourites. I know I say this every time but... where is this year going, it is June already. This month I have a fair few products to share with you guys and they are..

Aussie Miracle Moist Shampoo and Conditioner

Garnier Intensive 7 Days- Cocoa Butter

Garnier Moisture Match For Oily and Combination Skin

Soap and Glory Sugar Crush Body Wash

Barry M Top and Base Coat

Revlon Matte Balms

Pink Macaroon Body Butter by H&M

I have been using the Aussie Miracle Moist shampoo and conditioner this month. Last year I was obsessed with this stuff and I only recently have started using it again. I forgot how amazing it really is. If you have dry or damaged hair I really recommended them as they are the only shampoo and conditioner that I have tried that makes my hair feel soft and look shiny. 

Next up is a body moisturizer and it is the Garnier Intensive 7 Days. I have mentioned the shea butter one in my favourites last year, but this month I have been using the cocoa butter one and I have found this one to be a lot more moisturizing and richer than the shea butter.  

I tried a new face moisturizer this month and it is the Garnier Moisture Match Mattifying Cream, it is designed for combination and oily skin- which is my skin type. I have really enjoyed using this as its not greasy or too rich. It makes my skin stay matte longer under my makeup and still gives the right amount of moisture that my skin needs. I have also been using it at night and I wake up with really nice soft skin that isn't greasy and oily.

I have also been loving the Barry M base and top coat. I use this every time I paint my nails as it makes my nail polish last and doesn't chip so easily. 

My go-to lip products this month have been the Revlon Matte balms. I only have two of them, but I will be buying more as I love them. They last ages on my lips and for a matte balm they are surprisingly moisturizing and still creamy. They dry on my lips but don't dry out my lips which is good. They also have an amazing minty smell.

 I have been loving the Pink Macaroon Body Butter by H&M. It smells so fruity and summery and its a really nice rich moisturizer. I have been using it on my feet quite a lot this month and my feet have been silky soft. Also I love the packaging as I think it looks really nice and quite expensive on my dressing table. 

Lastly I wanted to mention a shower gel. I know I only hauled this last week but I have actually had it for along time and used it though out the month of May. I love Soap and Glory products and the Sugar Crush Body Wash is no exception. It smells so fresh and fruity and it reminds me of lemonade as it smells almost fizzy. 

That's it for my May beauty favourites.

What did you love last month?

Makeup Monday: Favourite Nude Lipsticks

Hey guys, recently I have been opting for a nude lip which is quite unusal for me as I'm more into bright pinks and oranges especially in the summer. Today I have selected my 5 favourites, some of you may think that that they are all the same but actually they are all very different.

My favourite's are: (from left to right)

Revlon Lip Butter in Creme Brulee

Rimmel Kate Lipstick 07

MUA Lipstick Shade 11

Avon Colourtrend Bubblegum Pout

MaX Factor Lilac Wine

 Revlon Lip Butter Creme Brulee

This is probably my favourite and most used everyday nude. It is probably the most nude lipstick I own but what I love is that it doesn't make me look washed out or totally block out my natural lip colour, it just gives a milky wash of gloss. 

Rimmel Kate Lipstick 07

On my lips this looks more of an orangey nude and looks good with darker eye makeup on me. It's more of a wintery colour than a summer colour but still really good for everyday. 

MUA Lipstick Shade 11

This one is the classic- your lips but better lipstick. It's one of those lipsticks that lives in your handbag and goes with anything. I always wear this when I can't decide on what colour to go for as I'm never disappointed with this one. It seems to look different everytime I wear it and with different makeup looks. 

Avon Colourtrend Bubblegum Pout

This is another- your lips but better lipstick but is very different to the MUA. It's alot lighter and you don't get as much colour pay off. This lipstick is full of glitter and has a gorgeous gold shimmer. 

MaX Factor Lilac Wine

This is more of a berry colour but still is a nude. It has gold shimmer running through and looks amazing in the summer and winter as its not to dark on the lips.

 Whats your favourite nude lipstick?

Beauty Tuesday: More Revlon Lip Butters and Another Revlon Matte Balm

If you read yesterdays Makeup Monday post then you would have seen that I purchased a couple more of the Revlon Lip Butters to add to my collection. I also brought one of the Revlon Matte Balms and  I loved it so much, I went back into town yesterday and I purchased another one. I also brought more Revlon Lip Butters as I'm trying to collect them all.

The Revlon Matte Balm that I brought was Elusive and its a really pretty natural dark pink. I will be doing a full review on the Revlon Matte Balm's soon. 

I brought 5 more Revlon Lip Butters and the ones that I brought were Sweet Tart which is a lovely bright, light barbie pink. 

Also I brought Tutti Frutti which I can't wait to wear in the summer as its a really gorgeous orange. 

I picked up Macaroon which I think I will be wearing a lot of in the Autumn as its a sort of brown, red, purple with a gold shimmer.

Another one I picked up was Berry Smoothie which is very similar to Macaroon but also very different as its darker and more purple- red. It is another colour beautiful for Autumn and it has this almost red shimmer running through.  

The last one that I picked up was Juicy Papaya which is another orange, but it is more of a coral-nude and again I can't wait to wear in the Summer. 

Thanks for reading.

Makeup Monday: Mini Makeup Haul

The other day I did a little bit of shopping and obviously I was going to buy makeup. Boots were doing 3 for 2 mix and match across all the makeup so I took advantage of that, however everything I brought from Boots was from Revlon. I also did a little bit of shopping in TK Maxx. Here's what I brought...

 I brought 2 more Revlon Lip Butters as I'm trying to collect all of them. I brought 2 everyday natural colours and they were Cotton Candy and Peach Parfait.

Cotton Candy is just a really light pink that I will probably wear everyday as its very natural looking and just gives a sheer wash of pink on the lips.

 Peach Parfait is a orange sort of nude which has a gold shimmer and gold glitter running through, its stunning and looks amazing on the lips.

I also brought one of the Revlon Matte Balms as I haven't yet tried them and I really want to. The one that I chose was Unapologetic, its a really bright pink coral that its perfect for the Summer.

I also brought a new mascara not from Boots but from TK Maxx. It's a Maybelline one which I haven't seen in Boots or Superdrug before. I think its called Cil à Cil  Volume Express, I don't know much about it but I brought it to try as I quite like Maybelline mascaras.

Also from TK Maxx I brought these clear plastic desk storage holders, which I'm going to use for makeup. I brought 2 to store my lipsticks in as I'm trying to collect clear plastic makeup storage for all my makeup as I think it looks really nice.

That's it, that's all the makeup I brought. Thanks for reading!

Makeup Monday: Real Techniques Powder Brush Review

 

The Powder brush is my most recent addition to my Real Techniques collection and so far, so good. I really love Real Technique brushes and when I needed a new powder brush, I jumped at the chance to buy this one. I've had it for a while now and I've washed it a number of times and it is still in perfect condition and it's kept it's shape.

It's so soft, the brush is really light and easy to use. It evenly apply my powder and works well with my favourite powder, the Revlon Nearly Naked. I also use this brush to bronze my face sometimes as it gives a really natural look as you can't go to heavy handed with the brush. I absolutely love this brush as it's amazing like all the Real Technique brushes I've tried.
