May Favorites

And so another month is coming to its end, and we all know what that means. A monthly favorites post. I have been loving reading these kinds of cute little blog posts and since it has been a good while since I posted one of my own, I thought it was about time to update you all on what I have been loving recently.

Beauty

There are quite a few products that I have been using religiously this month, the first being the new L'Oreal Infallible Matte Primer. I first saw this in a youtubers American beauty haul and I have been keeping an eye out for it in Boots ever since. When I was down in Glasgow last month I spotted both the primer and the matching foundation and decided to pick both up. I absolutely love this primer. To be honest, I have never really used primers all that much before as every one that I have tried just hasn't done all that much for my skin but this works wonders. I just smooth some of this onto my face after cleansing and moisturising and it keeps my makeup looking fresh and shine free all day. I wasn't really a fan of the matching foundation, choosing instead to use the primer with my trusty Rimmel Long Lasting Finish 25 Hour Foundation as its a higher coverage and it works beautifully. 



Another beauty favorite of mine this month has been the Soap & Glory Brow Archery and I use the shade Hot Chocolate.My brow product knowledge is pretty poor as I'm relatively new to the whole doing your eyebrows thing but after trying quite a few products, this one seems to work best for me. You literally cannot go wrong with this product. It makes doing your brows super quick and easy and there is quite a good colour selection with the product also.



Skincare

Well we all know this is the bit where I ramble on about my favorite Lush bath products of the month now don't we? This month I will not disappoint. When I go into Lush I tend to be one of those really annoying people that just stick to bath bombs but no. I branched out this month. The first product that I have been enjoying using is the SkinDrink Moisturiser. One of the lovely girls that works in the Buchanan Street store in Glasgow was nice enough to give me a few testers of their different facial moisturisers and this was by far my favorite. I still cannot get over how soft and wonderfully hydrated my skin feels after using this product, and I will definitely be purchasing the full size pot at some point in the near future. 



My favorite bath product of the month is going to have to be the Lush Amandopondo bubble bar. I, again, am a bit of a novice when it comes to bubble bars but I could not resist the smell of this beauty. After buying this and a good few other products I actually had them in a backpack for the remainder of the day in Glasgow as we were going to a concert in the evening and by god, each time I opened my bag I just got a waft of wonderfulness. I originally thought that it was the Space Girl bath bomb giving off this beautiful scent but it was this bubble bar. I may or may not have used quite a few of these over the past month.



Haircare

After having my hair dyed a dark violet/burgundy colour at the start of April, I have been trying to take good care of my hair in order to maintain my colour as much as possible. I have also taken to blowdrying my hair in the evening after my shower as opposed to letting it dry at night so I have been using the Argan Oil hair treatment in my hair while it is still damp in order to abolish the dreaded frizz. 



Book

If you have read my last book review you will know that my favorite book of May has been Wait For Me by J Lynn. You can read my last review here if you fancy checking that out. Basically, I adored the book and connected to the protagonist so much. I have actually purchased the other books in the series in the hopes that I love them just as much, and hope I enjoy them just as much.



Tv Show

Ok, so at the end of last month I got Netflix which may be the best or worst decision I have ever made. One one hand I finally jumped on the Pretty Little Liars bandwagon but on the other hand, literally all I did over study leave was watch it. Which may very well be detrimental to me getting into uni in September. But anyway, I finally caved and watched Pretty Little Liars. To be honest, up until season 3 I kind of hated it, but after being told by many people that you just have to keep at it and that it does get better I carried on watching. They were right. I was hooked and after finishing 5 seasons in 2 weeks, I cannot wait for season 6 to come out! 



This month I also got back into Grey's Anatomy after not watching it for about 2 months, which is shocking going from watching around 5 episodes per day minimum to none for 2 months. Life just got a little hectic but alas I began to crave my Mcdreamy fix and restarted the tv show for the third time. Yes, I am aware that this may be bordering on obsession at this point but to be honest I'm just grasping at straws as to why I cannot subject myself to the pain of season 11. I refuse to accept that it exists.
