May is my favourite month of the year - it's my birthday month!! I've had such an enjoyable couple of weeks and I thought I'd show you some of the make-up products I've especially been loving!
Benefit Watt's Up / Bourjois bronzing powder and highlighter
I have wanted this Benefit highlighter for ages, so many people rave about it and I knew I needed it in my collection! It's such a gorgeous creamy shimmery toned highlighter which is so easy to apply! On the other end, there is a foam applicator which can be used to blend it in although I prefer to do that with a brush. However as much as I do enjoy it, I think I prefer powder highlighters better as creams and liquids feel a bit thick on my face. I do really love this product though and once again, Benefit hasn't disappointed me!
Now speaking of powder highlighters, I picked up the new Bourjois bronzer and highlighter duo. This is such an amazing hybrid product and I'm so glad they've brought it out as their bronzers are my favourite! The bronzer itself is the same one as their classic bronzing powder and it's a gorgeous yet subtle chocolate colour (it also smells like chocolate too)!! The highlighter is quite light as opposed to a bronze tone but looks so pretty and flattering on the skin!
Chanel Brilliant A Levres Lipshine in Malta / Kate Moss Rimmel lipstick in 32
There's 2 lipstick shades I've been loving lately and that's nude and peachy pinks!
Chanel's Malta is a beautiful dark nude with a slight shimmer to it - it's perfect for everyday wear and compliments any make up look!
The Kate Moss lipstick is a bit less wearable as it is quite a neon looking peachy pink! With bronzed skin this looks so pretty and is the perfect holiday lipstick! I've never tried a Kate Moss for Rimmel lipstick before but I am really impressed with this!
Soap & Glory Archery in Hot Chocolate / Rimmel Scandaleyes eye liner in Nude
When it comes to eyebrows, I don't really put much effort in, I'm pretty basic! I really love the look of Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz but I didn't want to purchase it until I knew I was comfortable with using a crayon/pencil on my brows. Soap and Glory do an amazing dupe of Brow Wiz and it's sooo good. I love the fact there is a pencil and brush, it makes application just that bit easier! Once I've finished with this Soap and Glory one I'm definitely going to treat myself to the Anastasia Beverly Hills one.
I've never thought to try a nude eyeliner but seeing Barbara (ThePersianBabe on YouTube) using this made me so curious! This eyeliner is a holy grail product! You apply it to your waterline and it instantly opens up your eyes! The nude colour compliments so many different eye shadow shades and looks so natural. This has changed eye make-up for me!
Soap & Glory Smoothie Star The Breakfast Scrub exfoliater / Sugar Crush body wash / Orangeasm exfoliater body polish
Soap & Glory skin products are some of my absolute favourites and I had completely ran out so I stocked up on more whilst Boots had a 3 for 2 offer on. Now the summer weather is here, I am exfoliating like crazy to prepare my body for a tan!! I've really been enjoying both the Breakfast Scrub and Orangeasm exfoliaters. They both smell soooo good - Breakfast Scrub is more sickly sweet whereas Orangeasm is more fresh and zesty - the smell lingers on your skin for ages! After exfoliating, your body feels really smooth and nourished. I've gone back to an old favourite S&G body wash of mine and that's Sugar Crush, it smells like a yummy yoghurt and is so moisturising, such a great product!
Real Techniques Bold Metals powder brush - 100
Lastly, I have really enjoyed using the number 100 brush from Real Techniques Bold Metals collection. I've been debating whether to purchase these brushes for a while as I already have so many other brushes but I caved in and brought it. At £22 it is more in line with the prices of MAC brushes but i personally find these better! This is meant to be a powder brush but I've been using this to apply my foundation and it's amazing. It's so soft yet dense and really buffs foundation into my skin making sure it's all blended together well. I can definitely see myself buying the other brushes in this collection!
What have you been loving this month?!
