Another month, another round up of what I think is worth parting with your pennies for in the beauty world!
This month, the picks are decidedly summery. I always feel like May is a bit of a turning point, hopefully we'll get the weather to reflect all my summery makeup and wardrobe picks!
First off, let's talk about my current obsession, the Revlon Matte Highlighting Palette in Desert Bronze. It's matte, it's not orange, it's pigmented, and yet, you can't go overboard with it. I'm honestly so in love with this, it's the perfect bronze/contour hybrid, and it even works on pale gals like me.
May is when I start to think about upping my sunscreen game, and I honestly can't recommend the Soap and Glory Make Yourself Youthful Sunshield Superfluid SPF 50 enough. This is last year's bottle, I need to pick up a new one this week myself! In terms of affordable, lightweight, high protection face SPF that won't break you out, it doesn't get better than this.
With warmer weather, I tend to find my makeup is more prone to sliding off my face. My favourite primer to keep things intact and looking tip top is the Max Factor Facefinity Primer. It's not greasy or oily, nor does it dry your skin out, it just keeps things looking how you want them.
A less summery pick, but something I think you'll all love, I'm all about the Trilogy Hydrating Mist Toner right now, for the evenings, but also as a pick me up if I'm feeling anxious. It's got soothing aloe vera (perfect if you're prone to sunburn like me), as well as rose, geranium and lavender oils, which are not only great for the skin, they're also seriously calming. I'm totally head over heels for this stuff, I wish it came in a handbag size too!
And lastly, of course we needed a nail polish pick. Essie's latest drop featured this unique, greeny-teal shade that piqued my interest. It's so different to anything else I own, and it really pops. I'm so in love with it!
On my shopping list this month? I'm after a new bottle of my Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Foundation, and a bright pink lipstick that doesn't wash me out! Feel free to send any recommendations my way.
