May Favourites



Hello people!
Sorry it has been a little longer then i wanted to post another post but i wrote about 4 different posts but drafted them because i didnt like them ( its also very sunny so beach days have become compulsory )
So anyway i thought as i was tidying my room i'll do a May favourites and i've already got another post lined up for the next couple of days!
Anyways, here goes :) WOOOOOO!

MAY FAVOURITES :

Okay so firstly i'm going to start with make-up ;

Revlon Lip Balm, Colour Burst crayon in Audacious

 
These lip crayons have been out for the several months but this particular colour i've been wearing it so much this month! Because of the nice weather i've been trying to brighten up my make up, it isnt overly orange but with one layer & some gloss it makes me feel all summery inside. RRP: £6.99 Boots
 
My second favourite is my MAC favourite of the month:
Mac Lipstick in Speak Louder the sheen finish


It was not only my Final Prom in May but there were lots of end of school celebrations and parties and this was the lipstick i wore. Its in my favourite Mac lipstick top 3 for sure, its such a beautiful shade of pink with a light shimmer to it ( bottom swatch ) and it matches smokey eyes perfectly, not too much attention but just enough and i cannot explain how much i love this!! RRP: Mac £15.00
 
My next Make-up product favourite is :
Maybelline Colour Tattoo 24 eyeshadow in Pink Gold (65)
 

 
This was the base eyeshadow i used for my smokey eyes previously mentioned ( summery smokey eye, new blog post to come ) its such an easy and light constituency, it a beautiful light pink shimmer. You can also just wear it on lazy days on his own and yeah i love it and would recommend it to anyone! ( I also have it in 4 other shades ) ... guilty. RRP: £5.49 Boots
 
Okay so that's it for make-up, i didnt want to overcrowd it with Make-up as i have so much to get through!
 
Now onto Skincare/moistureisery cosmetics:
 
First is : Simple, light hydration moisturiser

This moisutriser has been my saviour this month! Usually i would use clinique but my mum had this and i tried it and loved it ( not only is it under ten times cheaper but so good ). I love simple brand so much i also use their toner when i run out of Liz earle. But anyway, i have dry-combination skin and i find most moisturisers are quite heavy and intense on my face and make my skin quite oily and bring out spots and then drys out a few hours later but this one is not like that at all. It moisturises my skin just the right amount, it stays on the skin for 12 hours ( meaning soft etc ) and soaks in so nicely, it doesnt make my skin feel all heavy and greasy but really does feel light and hydrating to my skin! I've been wearing this night and day before my primer and before i go to bed. If you have dry to normal skin this would be perfect but also works with oily skin.  RRP: £.2.99 Boots
 
Next favourite:
Garnier body Oil beauty nourishing lotion ( for dry skin )
 
 
This body lotion ive been using for the past few weeks. Now as the weather has been improving so has the leg shaving schedule ( shhh ) i've been using this on my legs post wash and it makes my legs so soft and nourished. It has a slight body butter texture  but the smell is amazing ( argan, macadamia, almond and rose oil!!) its almost shea coconut buttery smelling, anywhere you put it will moisturise, it is quite heavy and intense for the first 20 minutes but after that it is wonder cream!! RRP: Boots £6.99
 
Now onto mixture of products:
 
Next favourite is: Jelly Belly Bubblegum scented candles
 
 
Ohhhhhh Myyyyyy Wooorrrrddd, i cannot describe to you how amazing these candles smell! I was going to get the big one but i wasnt sure when i got them how they'd smell ( and i had a pretty pot i wanted to use ). But wow oh wow they smell like bubblegum and candy heaven, its not too overpoweringly sickly sweet but my bedroom now smells like bubblegum jelly beans and mmm mmm i want to eat my furniture. I know i'm sounding over the top but its so delicious. I find the little ones also dont overpower the room its more subtle fragrance, but yeah they smell so amazing i cant recommend them enough. I've burnt through so many this month as you can see... RRP: Tesco £5.99
 
Next product is more hair related:
Lee Bancroft "blissfully bouncy" hair rollers

 
My hair naturally is quite thick and frizzy so i've trying to find something that will naturally curl my hair without heat damage and these have been trial and error. When i first tried the bristles made my hair quite knotted and hard to take out but with styling oil spritzed and a thorough brushing these do give and excellent curl if you do the following when hair is slightly damp, it does what it says although if you're going out for the day do use alot of hairspray! haha although it doesnt sound like my favourite it does give just the right amount of wavy curl without heat damaging your hair. RRP: Tesco £4.99
 
Final favourite is foodish related:
Vanilla and Strawberry flavour tea
 
Simply the most amazing smelling and flavoured tea, its not sickly sweet but so amazing, especially if you want to get into herbal teas. I found it quite hard to get into herbal teas, especially as some of the fruit ones are not very sweet and quite bitter/flavourless but this one is so amazing and this is my second box!! RRP : £2.99 Holland & Barrett
 
SO thats it for this months favourites!! i hope you enjoyed reading my favourites/blog for inspiration, if there is anything you would like me to do in the future please please tweet me @georginarose_ or leave any comments and i'll do my best!
Please share this post and you never know, a secret signed boyband cd giveaway might be lurking... ;)
 
Anyway thankyou and tarrah for now :)
