May 2014 Favorites...

Hello everyone, can you believe that half the year has passed and we're now into the month of June!! I can't, it seems to me that 2014 is just racing passed! Anyway to stop me thinking about where the last half the year has went i thought i would do my May favorite products for you all. I usually only choose 5, but that was far to hard this month.. I ended up choosing 10 instead, oooops!

To start off my favorite i'd like to start with one of my most recent finds and i am in LOVE!! This is actually a set of 4 products but i put them all in together because i use them at the same time. They are the Beauty Protector shampoo, conditioner, detangle spray and beauty oil for your hair. Firstly can i just say how amazingly great these 4 products smell, they smell very sweet and delicious! I have had the detangle spray and oil for a little while but hadn't gotten round to using them, but then i got a sample of the shampoo and conditioner in my May birchbox i decided i'd try them out with the shampoo & conditioner and i am so glad i did. I love the way these 4 products make me hair feel, it's soft, smooth, not tangled and it has volume! The spray and the oil doesn't weigh down your hair at all which i really appreciate, the other oil i was using does weigh my hair down a lot compared to this one. I liked these samples i recieved so much, i have purchased the full sizes. These products can be found here on Birchbox.co.uk.

Next up is my Chanel vitalumier aqua foundation in the shade beige clair10. This foundation is light weight, has a light to medium coverage and a pleasant smell to it. I apply this foundation using my sigma F80 flat top brush and blend it in. This foundation is the best i have tried in a long time, although i'm always wary using it for an every day foundation, it is not cheap! Coming in at £32, it is on the expensive side but it's the perfect foundation for me and my oily skin!

Third i have my MAC prep&prime highlighter in radiant rose. I use this over my Chanel foundation to highlight my cheek bones, brow bone, cupids bow, the bridge of my nose and the center of my forehead. I love it, i purchased this a little while back but hadn't used it in ages until the beginning of May and now i can't do my make up without it!

My fourth item i think is one everyone should have, it is the best blush i have ever used. It is the NARS orgasm blush. I use this every day. Again, this blush was a re-find when i was looking in my blush drawer! 

The fifth item on my list was a new buy a couple of months ago. It is the Benefit Cosmetics gimme brow in light/medium. I use this almost everyday, i think i might actually need to buy a new one very soon as i don't think there is much left in mine. I use this over my other brow products to set my brows in place or when i am having a day where i wear very little make up, i use this on my brows on its own and it gives them a very natural look.

The next product is my only lip product of this month! I have been loving the Bare Minerals marvelous moxie in the shade Rebel. This colour is a very neutral pink, it's almost the colour of my lips but glossy. Also this smells (& tastes) amazing.

Moving away from make up related products, my next product is one again i received from Birchbox this month. It is the Liz Earle hot cloth cleanser. After using the sample i got i was amazed at how well my skin was looking. I have oily skin and i am prone to breakouts but since using this my skin has been much better overall. I have found it is less oily and i have less spots! And to top that this product and the whole Liz Earle brand is never tested on any animal, it also has the leaping bunny logo to prove this. So over all this is a win win product for me! I have aslo purchased the full size of this along with the toner and the moisturizer for my skin type. You can find Liz Earle products in the Birchbox online shop, the Liz Earle website and many other places also.

Next i have a perfume, this perfume is a blast from the past for me considering i wore this when i was at secondary school. It is the Britney Spears midnight fantasy perfume! I love this perfume, it's sweet with a tiny hint of sour in it too. It's a perfume that lasts too, i find it lasts much longer that most of my other perfumes! Perfect summer scent that won't break the bank but will last a long time!

Now that summer has almost arrived all most people want is a nice tan, and i am one of those people. I don't mind being pale in the autumn/winter but i like having a tan for the spring and summer months. I have been using an old faithful of mine, the ST Tropez bronzing mousse! I love the colour this tan gives me, It's not as good as the tan 10 days in beautiful Barbados gave me but considering it comes out a bottle it's pretty good and my go-to-tan! I have never once had a streaky or disaster tan from using this & it is so easy to apply with a tanning mitt. I'll usually put this on half an hour before my bed so i has time to dry into my skin before i get into my bed so it doesn't transfer onto my bed sheets! ST Tropez tan stained bed sheets is not a good look for any bedroom!

Last but not least is my favorite new shower gel scent, it is the Original Source vanilla and raspberry body wash and OMG it smells amazing!! If this was food, i would eat it but i wouldn't recommend eating body wash that wouldn't be good for you or taste nice either. I use this every day in the shower and i have noticed my skin feels softer! It also completely takes away the fake tan smell ST Tropez always has! You can find this in Boots, Savers, Asda ect.

So that's my top favorites for the month of May :)

Leave me a comment telling me what your 1 top product would be for the month of May... 

If i had to choose just one, i think it would definitely be the Liz Earle hot cloth cleanser that stuff is amazing, there is mo wonder it has won 100+ awards.

Also if you have any products you think i should be trying let me know :)! 

Bye for now, Lisa xx
