May Favourites

I'm aware we are well into June but i completely forgot about publishing this blog, sometimes i'm too blonde for my own sanity. This is just a few of my favourites from May some I have used frequently and some i only just tried out recently.


The first product i tried and loved was this face mask from Lush (www.lush.co.uk) and i found this product brilliant to use. It is just an average face mask in a little tub so unlike a lot of the ones you can purchase from boots etc in little packages this can see you through for a while. The one i chose to pick up was "brazened Honey" for no particular reason just that it has a more exfoliating texture than some of the others, some are designed for dry or oily skin but this one was just directed more towards what i needed. You leave it on for 10 minutes then wipe it off and i can 100% say my skin felt softer and more refreshed.
These are stored in the fridge as well so when you do apply it to your skin it has such a relaxing feel about it and the smell is incredible. I will be purchasing more of these without a doubt. The price at £5.95 is exceptional considering you get a good amount of usage from these, i have used mine about 6 times and i haven't hit the bottom of the tub yet.




The next product i am loving is a pretty old product. I wasn't actually aware this brand had made a product for females until i was on a night out and a girl recommended this to me in the middle of a club. It's 'Lynx For Her'. You can buy this product pretty much everywhere, i purchased mine from my local boots, but i believe they do them at any drugstore or superstore so they are pretty easy to get hold of.
At first i must admit i was a bit apprehensive of this product simply because it has been made by a well known male company for as long as i can remember so i guess i sort of assumed the smell would be less feminine because of this. I was wrong! The smell is lovely and as someone who always carries around a body spray and deodorant in my bag this 2 in 1 product fit the bill perfectly. The pink and white packaging is also very girly and cute too.
I bought a 150ml can at £2.99 about a month back and i'm coming to the last of it.I was very concerned about the fact it is a limited edition so i stocked up but i have been told it's been out since last summer so i'm not sure about that but it's worth buying a few cans in my opinion.

The third thing on my favourites list is 'MUA' Pallets. The white palette below is called 'undress me too' and the black palette called 'undressed'. MUA have amazing palette in amazing shades but i find these 2 palettes to be the most neutral and that's the kind of eye i prefer to go for. If you prefer an 'out there' eye shadow then they have palettes for that as well so don't think this is the only colourings they do.
These shadows go on like a dream and they all perfectly blend in together and i can guarantee you can create a new look every single time with these. Personally i prefer the 'undress me too' palette simply because some of the colours in there are more matte and the black matte in there is perfect for across the lash line as a substitute for eyeliner and a better look for a smoky eye rather than a block line.
I think you can only get these online at the MUA website or in Superdrug. The main problem i have with these palettes is the speed in which they get sold out at. They are £4 each for a 12 colour palette so basically a steal and because of this they go in real fast time, as i live near to town i tend to pop in every other day to check however if you live a distance away i would recommend checking the website frequently. I currently own 5 MUA 12 colour pallets and i do get my use out of each one. BRILLIANT!

Next thing is a lip balm. As most of my friends and family know i am a huge fan (like massive) of lip balms.I tend to never wear lip gloss and just stick to lip balm and in my bag at the moment i believe there is around about 12-15 lip balms just sailing around in there for as and when i need them. I cannot physically go 15 minutes without applying some form of balm or vaseline to my lips. In saying this it means i do try and try and try lip balms out until the death of them and i have never actually repurchased any balm simply because there are so so many out there for me to try. However, yesterday i made my first ever re-purchase of a lip balm! <3 This just shows how much i loved this. It is "sweet lemon lip butter" from body shop. It was £4 and a bargain if you ask me! There are other flavours (or scents?  You know what i mean) but i just love the smell of this one. Unlike some lip balms/butters this lasts a long enough time and i can always feel it on my lips, whereas some brands, like vaseline, tend to wear off within about 5 minutes. This is my favourite May Favourite and i would suggest everyone goes and buys one because you just will not regret it.
