Today I thought I'd do a monthly round-up of all the things I've been loving this month. This month has been surprisingly beautiful here in the UK and I can't believe how fast it's come around!
Favourite accessory:
Due to the gorgeous weather we've been receiving I've been loving my sunglasses from Topshop. They're a similar tortoise shell design to my other ones but have a sightly larger frame and coloured arms. I've also really enjoyed wearing gold jewellery and nude nails.
Favourite make up item:
I'm gonna have to go with the L'Oreal superstar mascara. I haven't stopped wearing it and I still love it as much as when I first tried it. I've also been loving a small amount of 'Rockateur' blush by Benefit to uplift the colour on my cheeks.
Favourite Nail Polish:
It's got to be the sunset collection from Barry M. I've had these glossy nude nails on ever since I brought them. The finish is super glossy and professional looking, and the effects last a good amount of time.
Favourite Perfume:
I've been choosing the ever so summery scent of Juicy Couture Malibu. It instantly reminds of summer and I'm going to need a new bottle of this stuff soon!
Favourite TV:
We've just finished the first season of Daredevil from Netflix. If you enjoy Marvel films then you'll enjoy this series, It's quite dark and crime orientated but I can't wait for the next season!
Favourite food:
Pita bread and dips. If I was moved into my new house with a garden, I'm sure my answer would have been barbecues...dammit.
Favourite moment:
A little trip to Dovedale in the peak district. I've been begging Lee to go for years after our failed attempt about 3 years ago (involving a months worth of rain and an iphone.) And with the decent weather we had been having we managed to get there and finish the walk. I love the views and the scenery; it feels like another world.
Apparently I was feeling rather spendy today.
I found myself at boots browsing the Benefit counter and decided to pick up the 'Rockateur' Blusher. I've had my eye on this blusher for a while now. I don't own anything like this. I don't love the packaging but the product inside is gorgeous. When you first open the packaging it's covered in pink holograhpic glitter. After one use this is gone and your left with a dusky rose blush with a hint of brown to it. It gives a natural colour to the face and I think it would suit a lot of different skin tones. It has a nice inner glow look to it too which I love with blushers.
As I'd already fulfilled part of my forever growing wish list I thought I may as well add some more, much lusted after products to my basket. In went Soap and Glory's 'Solar Powder' and 'DIY Brow Bar.'
The brow kit contains a brown and blonde powder, a wax and an under arch highlight. I haven't given this product a proper road test yet, so keep an eye out for a full review!
The 'solar powder' is a beautiful bronzer with two shades. With summer on it's way I wanted to brighten my look up and add a sun kissed glow to the skin. I'm yet to try this out yet either but I've heard great things from other blogs about it, so I'm excited to give this a try as it doesn't look too dark or too orange.
Barry M have got some gorgeous new shades in their 'speedy' range. I brought two shades on a previous jaunt in 'In a Heart Beat' a beautiful toned down neon pink, 'Road Rage' a dupe for Essie - Mint Candy Apple and 'Eat My Dust' a gorgeous pastel purple/blue. I didn't find they dry any quicker than their standard polishes...but the colours are gorgeous and ready for spring in a range of gorgeous pastels.
Lastly I brought the Garnier Micellar cleansing water. I've heard a few things about this and was running low on my normal cleanser. I'm excited to try this to use this as a first cleanse to get rid of my make up before doing a proper cleanse. I always find eye make up the worse to remove and this claims to remove really easily.
Have you brought anything recently from Boot's or the drugstore?
Any recommendations?
