May Favourites 2014

Hullo Ladies!

Wow I think this is the latest I've ever posted my monthly favourites!

Anyway It's here now so lets get started :-) 

The Body Shop - Vineyard Peach Body Mist - Smells amazing! So refreshing for Summer and lasts surprisingly well for a body mist! If you like fruity scents then I highly recommend you give it a go. 

MAC Lipsticks - Flat Out Fabulous and Lady Danger - Both are new purchases and again, perfect for Summer. They're super bright and colourful and I just feel awesome in them! Flat Out Fabulous is a punky bright matte pink and Lady Danger is a yellow toned red that looks amazing on most skin tones!

The Body Shop - Watermelon Born Lippy Lip Balm - Another product that smells absolutely amazing from The Body Shop. I love the Born Lippy Lip Balms, they're moisturizing and always smell amazing and last ages on the lips.  I have most in the collection now and will continue to buy them when I run out :-) 

The Balm - Nude Tude Palette - Probably one of my most used palettes of the year so far, its highly pigmented, amazing quality and the packaging is just amazing! The colours range is wide for a neutral palette and you create a range of looks. 

The Body Shop - Banana Conditioner - Softens my locks and smells like banana! What more can I say really, except that it's probably my favourite conditioner ever for everyday use and I will continue to purchase it as long as I can! 

Real Techniques - Deluxe Crease Brush - Stunning at blending eye shadow/concealer and I use it every time I apply makeup now. It fits perfectly in my eye socket, packs on a lot of products and blends it beautifully. 

Barry M - Damson Hi Shine Gelly Nail Paint - A gorgeous blue nail polish that goes on in one coat and stay on for ages! I've been wearing it constantly since I bought it and have a feeling it's going to stay that way for the next few months :-)

So those are all my favourites for the month of May, what has been yours?

My Top 3 MAC Red Lipsticks

Hullo Ladies!

I'm a big lover of red lipstick, I know many girls who find it hard to be comfortable in a red lippy but for some reason I never had that problem, I love wearing a bright lipstick. It's the same with my hair, the redder it is, the sexier I feel! 

Some of my favourite and most used red lipsticks happen to be MAC lipsticks. 

Today I'm going to be talking about my top 3 :-) 

They're not really in order because my favourite, changes constantly but these three in particular are never far from reach. 

Starting with Ruby Woo - A Blue Toned Classic Red Shade. It's very matte and can be drying if you don't prep your lips well before hand but the prep pays off as it's one of the most stunning red lipsticks I've ever seen. It suits a range of people and is loved by many. 

M.A.C Red - Another Blue Toned Red, this one is a Satin which means its it has a slight sheen to it. Extremely pretty. It was the first expensive red lipstick I bought, I bought it to go to my friends eighteenth birthday party and wore it constantly for ages after that so It holds a lot of memories for me. It's definitely one I suggest if your looking for a blue toned red that's not matte.

Lady Danger - A Yellow Toned Matte Red, It's my newest red lipstick from MAC but has become a quick favorite in the last month. It's amazing on a hot day with your favourite sundress and a pair of sunglasses. 

So those are my favourite MAC reds :-) 

I definitely suggest trying them out as they are all good quality, long lasting and absolutely gorgeous lipsticks!

What is your favourite red lipstick?

Collective May Haul - MAC, The Body Shop, Barry M, Sleek + More

 Hullo Ladies!

I've bought a few lovely things this May so I thought I'd show you them...

A few weeks ago I passed my theory test and as a surprise my brother took me to a MAC counter and I picked out these two lipsticks that he bought me! They had an amazing offer at the time in Debenham's, buy two or more products and get £10 off. A great Bargain!

This lipsticks I bought were Flat Out Fabulous and Lady Danger :-) 

Both are very bright matte's.

At the beginning of the month I spoilt myself in Boots and Superdrug and took advantage of some offers. 

In Boot's picked up three of the Bourjois Rouge Edition Lipsticks that where in a 3 for 2 offer in the shades 18 Violine Strass, 04 Rose Tweed and 17 Rose Millesime. 

I love these lipsticks, I have 6 of them now and want more!

Also in Boot's I bought a perfume that was on offer that I'f heard lot's about. Givenchy Hot Couture EDP. The 30 ml bottle was on offer for £14 :-)  

They had 3 for 2 on Barry M in Superdrug so I picked up three of the Hi Shine Gelly Nail Polishes. Guava, Pomegranate and Sugar Apple.

A few days later I picked up three more of the Barry M polishes ( I have a problem) 

I picked up the colours Damson, Blueberry and Prickly Pear. 

Last week I took advantage of the 40% off sale at The Body Shop and ordered a few things online.

I picked up some more of my favourite skin care line. 

The Tea Tree Skin Clearing Facial Wash, the Cool and Creamy Wash and the Skin Clearing Toner. 

I also picked up a few Hair products, my favourite Ginger Anti Dandruff Shampoo (amazing for sensitive scalps) and the Banana Shampoo and Conditioner which smells amazing! 

I picked up two new shower gels, the Raspberry one and the Chocomania one. Both smell gorgeous and are great for bubble baths! 

I love the Born Lippy Lip Balms too so I picked up another tub of my favourite Satsuma Shimmer lip balms and one I hadn't tried before, the Watermelon lip balm. I think the Watermelon is now my new favourite! 

Last but not least I picked up two products from the Vineyard Peach line. 

The Vineyard Peach Shower Gel and the Vineyard Peach Body Mist. 

I can't stop using the body mist. It smells so yummy :-) 

I visited Boot's again this week and at the counter they had a basket full of lippy's. All of them where £1 each so I obviously had to pick up at least a few :-)

I picked up two Maybelline Lipsticks and one Loreal Lipgloss. 

I also picked up a new hair dye from Live Color XXL and a Toni & Guy Hair Mask.

By chance I looked on the Sleek website a few weeks back and noticed they had a small sale going on. I picked up this Blush By 3 palette up for £4.99! 

It's the Flame palette which I've wanted for awhile now :-) 

I just looked and the sale is still going on right now so I suggest you go take a look if your interested.

So that's everything I've bought this month! I didn't realize how much it was but at least I got a few Bargains :-) 

What have you bought recently? Found any great bargains?
