May Favourites

And just like that, the end of another month is upon us. How time flies when you're having fun!

I'll get straight down to it with the products that have been putting a smile on my face in the month of May! First up, I've got one skincare item, which is possibly at cult status right about now, Pixi's Glow Tonic, which I finally got my hands on this month, the day they got a delivery in! This stuff is pretty much always sold out, since it's only available from Pixi's Carnaby Street Store. In essence it's an exfoliating toner, and it's dramatically brightened my skin since I've started using it! I'll be posting a full review very soon!

Next up is a hair product I've been loving. After having my hair trimmed and styled at House of Rush at the beginning of the month, I've been taking much more interest in my hair. I've accepted the shortness and am trying to embrace it! My stylist recommended spritzing the roots of my hair with dry shampoo or texturising spray after straightening, to add a little texture and volume. I've tried a few, but particularly I've been loving V05's Give Me Texture Spray. No white powder, just volume, texture and finally style! I've also been loving two brushes, I use the Andrew Barton comb whilst straightening my hair, and the pink coarse bristle brush from Sally's to backcomb and create volume at the root! I think they were about £2.99 each, so bargain!

An article in a copy of Stylist magazine this month has shown me the perfect way to apply contour, meaning my beloved NARS Laguna has had a lot more use! I'm going to do a full post on it tomorrow, so keep your eyes peeled for that!

At the beginning of the month, I bought the Topshop Sunbeam powder highlighter after being recommended it by a ton of people during #bbloggers. I have to say, this is the highlighter that has made me realise the point of highlighters! I think this must just work well for me, since I've had a fair few highlighters before, but none that have worked for me like this one!

Two nail polishes I've been loving, first up the Seche Vite topcoat which is basically just the god of topcoats! Go buy it now. Right now. Secondly, my second forray into the world of H&M polishes, this glitter polish has been getting a hell of a lot of love!

I've never really got the Rimmel Scandaleyes shadow stick thing, but this month I realised that these are the key to the fuss free smokey eye. Really, it's so easy.

My lips have been feeling a little dry recently, so I've been tag teaming them with Blistex Moisture Max at night and the Korres Lip Butter in Pomegranate during the day. Silky soft lips are now mine!

Out of the beauty world, and I just have a few random favourites to mention. I love my statement necklaces and this H&M one has barely had a day off since I bought it, I just love it so much. A visit to Prints in St Christophers Place left me with the perfect pens (it's a stationery nerd thing) and I am literally obsessed with them, and won't let anyone else use them! Lastly, my lovely new iPad mini, which I got at the beginning of April (thank you student finance) is the new love of my life. I've been loving the A Beautiful Mess app for instagram too!
