May Favourites 2017

Hey everyone, I hope you're well!

Since we've had so much nice weather here in the UK, I haven't really worn makeup that often but today I have a list of things I've been loving this month!

BEAUTY

 The first product I've been loving this month is a super shock shadow from Colourpop in the shade Nillionaire. It's a gorgeous bronze shade with pink and gold glitter undertones. I have a few Colourpop shadows and the formula is like nothing I've ever used before! They're not quite a cream, but not a powder either and it took me a while to get used to. This shadow is perfect all over the lid for a warm brown smoky eye. I will definitely be buying more of these shadows, and if you haven't already you need to get some!

 Up next is a product that barely looks used, but trust me a little goes a long way! This one of the newish Strobe highlighters from Makeup Revolution in the shade Flash. I couldn't get the shade to pick up right in natural light but it's a gorgeous icy white highlighter with an iridescent finish. It looks absolutely gorgeous on, and suits paler skin tones perfectly. I've been wearing this every time I do my makeup, and you hardly need any on your brush to get a blinding highlight!

 

Another product I've loved this month by Makeup Revolution is their take on the matte lip kit in the shade Echelon. It's a beautiful cool toned brown nude, although the brown tones didn't really pick up in the photo. This is the perfect nude for lighter skin tones, and is great for everyday. The lip liner is super creamy, and glides on like a dream! The liquid lipstick doesn't dry out your lips and applies really nicely without going patchy. 

The last beauty item I've absolutely loved this month is a fragrance mist from Victoria's Secret. I saw these in my local Superdrug when I was shopping for makeup, and noticed they were on offer at 2 for  £16. I had a browse through the different scents and opted for Pure Seduction which has a lovely mix of red plum and freesia. I'm not usually a fan of really fruity scents but with this being a mist, it's not as strong as others and smells lovely but lasts a long time. 

TV & FILM

Since the new season started, I have been hooked on Pretty Little Liars! I was a little late to the party, and only started watching it last year but I've binge watched it to high heaven and I've finally caught up. It took me a while to get into, because it just seemed a bit boring but it's got so good lately! This is the final ever season too so I know I'll probably cry at the last episode!

I haven't watched any new movies lately, but I've watched The Little Mermaid nearly everyday for the few weeks. I'd never watched it as a child and felt like I'd been missing out on something and now I think I'm obsessed with it haha! When I haven't been watching it, I've had the soundtrack on repeat and I'm pretty sure I know all the lyrics off by heart now!

Makeup Collection: Blush, Bronze & Highlight

One of my favourite makeup products has to be highlighter, If I could afford to I'd probably buy them all! Today I have my favourite products in my blusher, bronzer and highlighter collection, I hope you enjoy! 

Makeup Revolution Ultra Contour Palette

This is the first contour kit I ever bought and thought I’d play it safe with a powder kit. I do own a couple more but this is definitely my favourite. It has a variety of shades for different skin tones and even includes a highlighter and a bronzer! I think this was only around £8 so an absolute bargain for what you get and I couldn’t recommend it enough!

Lisa Blur Blusher - First Blush

As you may have seen from my March Makeup Haul, I was kindly gifted a couple of products from Lisa Blur London. I received this blusher and it has since become one of my favourites! It’s a lovely dusky pink shade with a hint of gold shimmer that doesn’t make your face sparkly. If you’re looking to spoil yourself I’d definitely recommend this blush, or anything else from this brand!

Makeup Revolution Vivid Baked Blusher - All I Think About Is You

I bought this blusher on a whim after seeing how cheap it was, only £3! It’s a gorgeous dark pink and is really pigmented, the first time I used it I got WAY too much on my brush and looked like I was flustered all day! You get a decent amount of blusher for the price, and they’re good for travelling with.

Makeup Revolution Vivid Baked Bronzer - Golden Days

There’s not a lot of bad things I can say about this bronzer, it’s been my go-to for such a long time and as you can see I’ve barely scratched the surface! It’s the perfect shade for medium skin tones and has a bit of shimmer in it so it really gives you that summer glow!

Rimmel Natural Bronzer - Sun Bronze
This bronzer is another recent purchase of mine and I’ve definitely fallen in love with it. It gives a gorgeous natural glow and applies super easy! You barely need any on your brush to get a good colour payoff which I love! This was super cheap at only £4 too!!

I Heart Makeup Triple Baked Highlighter - Goddess of Love

Look at that – another peach toned highlight. This is very similar to the last highlighter, and while I can’t find any big differences in the shade of it, the colour payoff is so much better in this one! Also the packaging is SO cute isn’t it!?

Makeup Revolution Vivid Baked Highlighter - Peach Lights
I’m a sucker for a good highlighter so obviously when I saw this in my local Superdrug, I had to have it! It’s a lovely peach toned highlight and is so pigmented!! I’ve used this nearly every day for the past 6/7 months and I’ve only just started to put a dent in it! The only problem is since it’s been in my makeup bag, the lid has actually broken off so I have to be super careful with it now!

Lottie London Shimmer Squad
Last but by no means least, my new BAE. This highlighter quad was the first thing on my list when I saw Lottie London had new releases. All 4 shades are to die for and the pigmentation is incredible! I swatched them in store and was blown away by how much colour payoff they have! You can never have too much highlight!

So that's all my favourite products in my blush, bronze and highlight collection. I hope you enjoyed reading! What's your favourite highlighter?
