Yes I took a couple of weeks off, I do have a reason,
but that is something that is staying private, I was going to do a blog post on
the issue, but I decided that I needed to give myself some time to let it sink
in, and then came to the conclusion that a blog post would not be the best
idea, and my mind was all over the place to try and write about something else.
All I seem to write about are favourites, but it is
that time where a monthly favourites post is okay, and I can get away with it.
Most of these products are things that I have had for
a while and have just recently started using, which I am kicking myself for not
using earlier.
Urban
Decay Naked 1 Palette
This
is something that I am so excited to be writing about, as I have wanted it for
so long, and in May, I managed to get my hands on it. This is something that I
have genuinely wanted for a really long time and it was really rewarding when I
had finally saved up to buy it. I’m sure that I don’t need to go on about this
as it is something that everyone has heard of it, as it is a really popular
product, but it is worth it, as the shades apply really well and it is
impossible to pick a shade that I don’t like. It also came with a set of three
eye primers, which I think is such a good idea; I haven’t tried them yet, but I’m
sure they will be amazing.
Dove
Summer Glow + Soft Shimmer Gradual Tan for Normal to Dark Skin
Self tan is something that I haven't done
before, so when I wanted to get into I decided that a gradual tanner may be a
safe option, so I bought the light to normal skin from the same range, but it
did nothing, now I know it is a gradual tan, so you have to apply everyday for
however long until you start to go a different colour, but that was effort.
After complaining about that my cousin gave me this one, saying that she
doesn't use it, but she thought that it'd be good for me. I never really used
it much at the time, but I went town last week and didn't want to look like a
walking milk bottle, so I got this out and applied it a week before to test the
results. It worked, it really worked. I did go a little patchy, but I'm putting
that down to my lack of application skills. This does have a couple of down
points, but they aren't too bad; the first is the smell, this absolutely
stinks, I know that this isn't something to complain about as all self tanners
smell, and this has that typical self tanner smell, but it's bad, especially
when you sit by an open window at college and the person next to you keeps
getting whiffs of it every time the wind blows. The second is the fact that it
has glitter in it, which is very noticeable; this is only a down point to me,
as I don't want my whole body to be covered in glitter. A good thing about this
is that it is also very moisturising, and has made my skin feel incredibly
soft.
Soft and Gentle 48 Hour Protection Deodorant
Lotus and Watermelon
Deodorant is not something that I tend to
branch out off, as I always used to use Sure and stick to that, but when I saw
this brand I decided to give it a try because it was a bit cheaper and the
scents sounded like they would smell nice, so I gave it a try. Now I know that
deodorant is a bit of a weird thing to have in a favourites post, but I love
this, as it does its job. It does not leave any white marks that I found some
cans of Sure did. This deodorant also lasts, so they are no worries that the
bad smell is you. This is just everything that a deodorant should be no white
marks, a nice smell and the last benefit is the packaging, as it is clean and
looks pretty.
Candles
So
I’m pretty sure that I’ve included candles before, but throughout May I was
really starting to burn them, as I sat at my desk and started to do some work,
I would always have candles burning, as I thought it was a nice touch. My
favourite candle is Season of Peace from the Christmas range by Yankee Candle,
now I’m no expert with scents, but I think I have described in my first
favourites post (or at least tried to).
This is something that I have had for a while, but hadn't worn for a while, but when I wanted a classic red, I went to this one, as it is basically a pure red with high shine. It is just a gorgeous classic colour, and of course the polish from this collection has such a good formula; it is just an overall win,
So that is what I was loving throughout May, and yes I know that this is late, but better late than never aye?
