MAY FAVORITES!

I have lots of makeup favorites for May because I got some stuff for my birthday and bought quite a few products this month. 


All product names in purple can be clicked on to their see photos, swatches & review. Ones that are in grey are either products that I had before starting this website or hasn't been reviewed yet.

Makeup Favorites

• Naked 2 Palette - I had to mentiobn my Naked 2 Palette, I didn't get it recently, but this is my first monthly favorites post and I use my Naked 2 Palette almost everyday!
• Nars Blush in Deep Throat - This subtle peachy pink blush has been an easy go to shade for me this month.
• Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Amused - I didn't have this one for most of May, but I think deserves to be mentioned anyway. This shade is a gorgeous cool-toned pink that lasts a really long time.
• Nyx Rouge Cream Blush in Natural - I finally got one of the NYX cream blushes during Ulta's 40% off NYX sale and I am in love with it! It lasts a decent amount of time, is easy to blend and will be great to use in the humid summer months!

• NYX Butter Glosses - Not really a specific shade, but, I just love thse glosses. They are super glossy and aren't sticky at all! The shades shown are Creme Brulee, Peach Cobbler & Applle Strudel.
• Maybelline Vivids Lipstick in Electric Orange - I used this lipstick a lot more than I thought I would this month! Whether I wore it alone or made it more wearable with a nude pink or light peachy color, I used this a bunch in May!
• MAC Coral Bliss & Gotta Dash! Lipstick - I got my first MAC lipsticks in May, and I am just in love. The formula feels great on the lips and they smell like vanilla!
• NYX Extra Creamy Round Lipstick in Pure Nude - I've used this quite a lot, too. I wore this light, creamy shade by itself or to make the orange lipstick mentioned earlier lighter and more wearable.
• Maybelline Baby Lips in Pink Punch  - Last lip product, I promise! Pink Punch is my favorite Baby Lips and adds a gorgeous pink color that's easy to wear everyday. It's also super moisturizing & comfortable

• Essence Super Fine Eyeliner Pen - I've finally jumped on to the felt tip or pen liner train! It's so easy and quick! This one from Essence is nice and pigmented and hasn't dried out.
• Sephora Nano Liner in Pure White - This has been a favorite of mine for 3 or more years, now. It's creamy and super opaque and lasts all day as an inner corner highlight.
• Nyx Waterproof Stick Concealer in Green - This concealer is easy to blend and does a great job of covering redness. This came in handy towards the end of May when my face was sunburned.
• MAC Studio Finish Concealer in NW20 - All time favorite concealer here. It has great coverage and a little goes a long way.
• Fresh Sugar Rose Lip Treatment - This is the mini version from Sephora's birthday gift last year, but I am in LOVE with this! It feels absolutely amazing on and smells just like roses!
• Real Techniques Expert Face Brush (shown in the first picture) - I'm so glad I found the Real Techniques brand! The brushes are super soft, don't shed and have a reasonable price. This month I've been loving their Expert Face brush.

Nail Favorites

OPI Nail Strengthener, Bohemian Summer & Creme Puffs

This month I have been in love with 2 nail colors & 1 nail treatment. The first nail color is from Urban Outfitters and is in the shade Bohemian Summer (middle). It's a gorgeous light blue speckled polish that looks almost identical to Fragile from Illamasqua. The other color I've been loving is Creme Puffs from L'Oreal. It's a netural pastel yellow that's great for spring and goes with almost anything you wear (right) . The nail treatment I can't live with out (in any month) is the OPI Matte Nail Envy Nail Strengthener (left). I've had this stuff for a long time and it never fails to strengthen my nails when they get bendy & weak.

Hair / Skincare Favorites

• Suave Dry Shampoo - This stuff is a hair saver. My roots are almost always oily even when I wash my hair daily and this stuff really helps soak up some of the oils. Plus it's cheap & smells great!
• Clarisonic Mia 2 - I used this a lot right when I got it and then just stopped. But, I noticed that I had more acne than usual and my treatments weren't working. So, I started using my Clarisonic again and my acne started clearing up! 
• Tangle Teezer - I actually got this brush in March and hauled it with my Lorac Pro Palette & Sephora Jumbo Liner, but I haven't talked about it. I really should mention it though, because it is the best hair brush I've ever tried. Somehow it just gets rid of tangles super fast and painlessly. This is great for me because especially when my hair is wet it takes forever to brush out, but not with the Tangle Teezer!

Food & Drink Favorites

• I've been obsessed with making Pina Colada smoothies this month. I fill my smoothie cup half way with coconut milk and then add the entire container of Light & Fit Pineapple Greek Yogurt. This is good on its own, but I like to add a little more flavor with a little Tropicana Orange Juice with Pineapple. Then I blend it up using my smoothie blender!
• 3 Words. Poptart Mini Crisps. I have literally been eating these almost every day this May (and March...and April...) They are so good! It's basically a tiny Poptart that tastes like a Teddy Ghrahm with sweet strawberry glaze...I just love these so much!
• A drink I've been loving is the Pineapple Coconut ICE Water. I've been really into lemon, pineapple & coconut food/drinks lately, and this fits in nicely. It's basically a carbonated water that tastes like a Pina Colada!

I hope you had a great month of May!
