May 2012 Favourites!

Can't believe I'm actually posting my May favourites on time this month! So this is what I've been into this May.

This months favourites are:

• MUA Pro Palette, Heaven & Earth 
• MUA Single Eyeshadow Shade 2
• NYC City Curls Curling Mascara, Black
• Clinique High Impact Mascara , Black
• Clinique High Lengths Mascara , Black
• Garnier BB Cream Sample, Light 
• Collection Lasting Perfection Powder, Light 
• MUA Love Heart Range Lip Balm, Great Lips
• Carmex Strawberry Tube 

 MUA Pro Palette, Heaven & Earth
My Favourite eyeshadow palette at the moment! This palette has the perfect selection of neutral eye shadows, from light, skin toned shades, to dark browns. The eye shadows have amazing pigmentation, and a amazing staying power! I can get about 9 hours out of these without of primer, which is fantastic for a palette that only coat £4.


MUA Single Eyeshadow Shade 2
I'm loving this shade at the moment! I needed a new highlighter as my previous one was in a palette and it was a pain pulling the whole palette out everyday just for one eyeshadow. I love this as a highlighter though! It has great staying power, likewise the other eye shadows in the MUA range, and amazing pigmentation. For the killer price of a £1, what more could you want?


Clinique High Impact & High Length Mascara's
I wanted to talk about these two together, as I only ever use them together. High Lengths is easily the best lengthening mascara I've ever used, and really gives your lashes maximum length! High Impact finishes the whole look off, it adds great volume. And basically does what it says on the tube.

NYC City Curls Curling Mascara
This mascara was in my April favourites, but I still haven't found a mascara that can top this! I just love the curl that this baby adds! I love how no matter how hard you try that it just does not clump, I wont reveal to much though as I plan on reviewing this soon.

 Garnier BB Cream Sample, Light
Finally, after two months of waiting my BB cream samples finally arrived! This is perfect for those hot few days we had last week. It moisturises really well and leaves a light-medium coverage. This is everything a good BB cream should be, my only problem being its slightly to orange for my skin even though its the lightest shade.

Collection Lasting Perfection Powder, Light
Favourite powder at the moment! It doesn't leave you powdery, and certainly isn't chalky. The packaging on this sort of reminds me of Rimmels Stay Matte, because of the clear plastic lid. The formula itself reminds me of the NYC Smooth Skin Pressed Powder, however this one has more of a yellow under tone.

MUA Love Heart Range Lip Balm, Great Lips
I haven't been into lipstick or lipgloss much because of the hot weather recently but I've been loving lip balm! Great Lips is sort of a peachy, nude colour and goes perfect with any makeup look, as well as looking natural. Its incredibly moisturising and has a lasting power of about 2-3 hours.

Carmex Strawberry Tube
I've been trying to include SPF products into my makeup routine lately, so Carmex has came in real useful with its SPF 15. Not only that but its incredibly moisturising and helps heal lips. Its a clear colour so you could wear this with anything.

If I Could Only Have One....

So a while ago i saw a lot of views about this on youtube, and recently an increasing number of blog posts < wooo big word;)

Basically this post is about out of your full makeup collection, if you could only have one thing out of each section eg. eyeliner, lipstick. What would it be. I actually really like reading/watching posts/videos like this, as I love seeing what other people like best and being introduced to new products. So here's what I picked as a full.

 minus bronzer because I don't wear it

So here's the face products I choose....

I didn't include primer as i just use the same one everyday so i thought there would be no point.

Sally Hansen Natural Beauty Your Skin Foundation, Ecru Beige

I really do like this foundation! Its the perfect shade for my pale skin and has great coverage. It doesn't cling to dry spots and lasts pretty much all day long. Its a very liquidity foundation so a little goes a long way, it also blends easy. I'm not sure were you can get this foundation, as i think its now discontinued, but i got this at Easter.

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer, Fair 1

I reviewed this concealer yesterday so I've pretty much said all i wanted to say about it. Its a great concealer, easily one of the best concealers you will find at drugstore price and it gives fantastic coverage and lasts all day.  Its very thick, but is still easily blended, it doesn't cling to dry patches either. You can buy this from Superdrug or Boots. 

NYC Cheek Glow Blush, Central Park Pink

I don't wear blush that often as most other products, but when i do i almost always reach for this product. It gives a lovely "bronzed" glow to the cheeks, I definitely think this is a product that is more aimed at fair/pale skinned girls. Its easily build able, which i always look for it a blusher, and sheerly applied. Which is another thing i love about this product! Available at selected Superdrugs. 

NYC Smooth Skin Pressed Face Powder, Naturally Beige

Easily my favourite powder of the moment! One of the things i love the most about this is its more of a powder to set your liquid makeup, then a powder with pigment to even out your skin tone. It doesn't make your face look powdery or chalky. Applies evenly, and lasts about 6 hours, then needs touch up. Also in selected Superdrugs.

So here's the eye products I choose....

This looks like very few.... but ok:)

Clinique High Lengths Mascara , Black

This is just sample sized, from the Clinique mascara swap but I still love this baby! It does a A.M.A.Z.I.N.G job of seperateing eyelashes and making them look really long. It certainly doesn't clump at all, I just love it so much that I would even wear it on its own, without even a volume one. It also coats the lashes with a jet black coat of mascara 

Maybelline Colour Tattoo 24HR, Eternal Gold

I think I've already got a review up on this but I just love it! I was unsure about purchasing it at first in case it just creased and faded. I love how the eyeshadow applies wet then drys into the eyelid, it also feels light on your lid. Its really pigmented so a little goes a long way. I also think it looks great on people with green eyes. I haven't ever worn it for 24 hours but it did last all day. You can find this in Superdrug or Boots. 

MUA Intense Colour Eyeliner Pencil, Snow White

First of I love the name of this product, it really describes the colour ( Obviously ) However it also describes the pigmentation of this product and how it applies. Its a real pigmented eyeliner for only a pound, and its really  creamy to so it applies softly to the eye. I've used this everyday since i first purchased this , and think i might go buy another one for when i run out. 

Here's the Lip products I choose....

Only two, but hey ;)

Barry M Limited Edition Lipgloss Wand

Like i said its limited edition so it doesn't have a shade name, which is a shame cause i really love this. Its a pale pink shades with faint shimmers of blue, purple and sliver. I love Barry M lipgloss, like I mentioned in my review off few days ago. Its a really pigmented lipgloss, and has a great lasting power. Its very moisturising, and if it wasn't limited edition I would buy it again. 

MUA Professional Lip Boom Created With Alexander Burke, Cheeky

I don't want to go into much detail, as I'm planning on reviewing it soon also when I mange to get my hands on another one of the shades Doin' Good which I'm dying to get. Let's just say you don't no what your missing if you don't own one of these. Seriously! I just can't express how great this product is, a double ended matte lipstick and highlighting lipgloss, what more could you ask for?;)

Thanks for Reading! :)xxx
