Hey! What a wonderful month May has been (in some cases)! X I am incredibly sorry I haven't been posting or active on my blog for a VERY long time!  I have been quite busy recently 

and also ill! Today I am finally feeling better and wanted to do this post which I've been planning for the last week! It includes beauty, skincare, fragrance, entertainment, drinks, fashion and books that I've been LOVING over May! 

Makeup - 

Face - 

I've been loving highlighters this month (Who doesn't love em?)! 

My favourite is the Models Own Sculpt & Glow Highlighter Powder in Golden Sand 01. I think this retails at about £8ish pounds but I bought it when it was on sale for about £4! It is SUPER pigmented and doesn't stick to the texture of your skin! I love it. 

I also love the Barry M Illuminating Strobe Cream in 1 Frosty Pink. This is lovely and very pigmented also. However, I do prefer powders so I don't go for this one as much! However it is only £4/5 so it's still worth getting! Love it! 

I have also been enjoying the Rimmel Stay Matte pressed powder in 005 Silky Beige. I really don't know why mine is that shade but it doesn't seem dark (and I am super pale) so it's fine with me! This is just a great powder to set products! It's about £4/5 as well!

This looks really dark in this photo but it's not actually!!

Eyes - 

Eyes are my favourite part of makeup.

I've been loving the MUA Elysium Palette! It's SO PIGMENTED. And wait for the price. £6?!?!?? WHAT? Yep. It's amazing! The matte shades are beautiful but the shimmer shades are incredibly pigmented and amazing! They can be a little chalky but for the price you can't really go wrong!

For mascara I've been loving the Soap And Glory Thick And Fast Mascara! I've never heard anyone talk about it yet it's AMAZING! It creates a fluttery, natural look yet it stills really volumises and thickens your lashes! It's £10 I believe! 

Lips - 

I've been loving a few lip products this month that I almost forgot I owned!

The Malibu Lip Care in Mint is lovely. It's super super moisturising and has a fresh scent. If you have chapped or sore or dry lips definitely try this! The best thing about it, I got it in a pack of 2 in a pound shop! YIPPEE.

I've also been loving the Tanya Burr Lipgloss in Lunch Date! It's a gorgeous nude. Even though it's a gloss it's still super pigmented! They easily glide on and they smell amazing! I also love the packaging! I do love Tan! X I think it's about £6.

I've also been loving the Revo in Watermelon Kiwi! It's got a very strong smell and is super moisturising! I prefer these to EOS lip balms by far! I got this whilst I was in California however you can buy them online!

The Body Shop Born Lippy in Watermelon is lovely! It's got a very strong smell and is super moisturising! It isn't sticky and it glides on! Love it! Think it's about £3.

Baby Lips in Candy Kiss. This is a Valentines one from last year so I don't know whether you can still buy it! However, it smells lovely and makes your lips all glittery! £3/4

Primark High Shine Lipstick Crayon 

in Pink Quartz. Oh my. Where do I start? THIS IS STUNNING. It glides on and is super moisturising. It mattes down slightly but still looks fantastic. It is a corally nude and is so pigmented and dreamy! It's about £2.50 as well!!

Skin - 

Hand -

I've been loving the Crisp Morning Air Pocketbac from Bath & Body Works. I got mine whilst I was in California but you can get them off EBay/Amazon/The bath and body shop. I love the smell of this and it feels moisturising. 

I've also been loving the Soap And Glory Hand Maid. It smells nice and fresh and is about £3.

Leafy & Lovely Summer Meadow Hand Lotion is beautiful! It smells fresh and floral and is super moisturising. It isn't sticky at all and you barely need any to cover your hands! I got mine for £1 from Superdrug! 

Face - 

I've been loving the Nivea Refreshingly Soft Moisturising Cream. I use it every night and it really is refreshing! It is thick and makes your face feel so soft! I got mine for £1 from Superdrug! 

I have also been loving the Soap & Glory Speed Plump Moisturiser. I use it every morning and it isn't too thick but it makes you feel super moisturised. I heard you can also use it as a primer. It is quite pricey at £15 though. 

The Simple Facial Wash Gel is lovely. It is such a nice consistency and makes your face feel so soft afterwards! It also helps with spots! I have the mini which I got from primark for £1.

Skin Therapy Soft Face Scrub is from Wilko and was very cheap £1-2. It isn't too harsh on the skin but it really helps with my spots! It also helps get any impurities out your skin! Definitely recommend.

I have also been loving the Zoella body lotion from her Tutti Fruitti range. However, they no longer sell this range! Lucky for me I have stocked up and have a backup too! It smells so lovely and is a great consistency! This goes the same for her other body lotions which are available! This scent is perfect for summer.

Fragrance -

I've been LOVING the Body Fantasies Pink Grapefruit Fantasy. It is about £4 but is currently on sale for £1.97. It smells AMAZING. This spray lasts for ever and is perfect for travelling. It smells of grapefruit and citrus but seriously, go give it a sniff in Superdrug!

I have also been loving the Ted Baker body spray. This is the pink one and it smells floral. It actually helps me get to sleep as well! It's £3 in Boots and oh my! Go get it!!

TV - 

BGT has been my fave this month! I've watched it for ever and it really does make me laugh. Tokio deserved it! Well done! Go watch this, a family favourite.

Drinks -

Iced lattes are my thing. I have them EVERYDAY. I make them myself. You can check out my recipe which is already up on my blog! It's super easy and tastes amazing! Perfect for summer! 

Costa fruit coolers are back! Yay! I have tried the Tropical one and the Raspberry and Blackberry one! They are amazing! I love the rasberry one! It tastes like the Raspberry Smoothie Lollies. They are about £3 from Costa! Go try one!

Fashion - 

New look leggings - these look so much nicer than ordinary leggings. The white line really makes these look smarter and just better! £7.99 

H&M dress - this is the nicest dress ever! It was only £8.99 and it's a jersey dress. They don't have it on the site anymore but you should definitely check out their jersey dresses! Mine is dark blue with white triangles and Aztec styled print. 

New look converse style shoes - I love these shoes however I can't find them on the website! They were about £12.99 and are gorgeous! They do get mucky easily and they are quite hard to clean however. They are a purple/burgundy material with the white toe. 

Primark tropical bedding - I love this bedding! It was affordable and looks amazing! It is a tropical pattern with leaves and black and white designs on!  

Zoella bag - I love this bag so much! It is such good quality and looks really casual! It is a perfect size however it doesn't have any pockets. It was £50 but it came with products inside! I bought it when it was half price. It is half price now too!

Decathlon bag  - I use this for my dance. It is a perfect size and has many different compartments for shoes and accessories! It was about £13 and is perfect! It is designed for sport. It is similar to the link (same brand, colours compartments etc.) however mine is a tube shape not a rectangular one but I can't find the page! 

Books - 

Faceless - I haven't been reading much this month but I really loved this book! It's about a girl who's life is great before she gets into a terrible accident, burning half her face off. She has to have a face transplant. It's about accepting yourself and I think it is very important to everyone! It's eye - opening and a great read.

That's everything! Hope you enjoyed reading this! I will try and do weekly posts from now on! What are you may favourites? Let me know in the comments at the bottom of my blog on the home screen/contact page! 

Here's to a good June!
