Hello readers!
I have missed my April Favourites post because I was sadly without a camera, so I decided to combine it with my May Favourites, so here's a massive post, with all the products I have been loving and constantly using during these two months!
 |
| This is the best anti-dandruff shampoo I have ever used. Actually, it's the only anti-dandruff shampoo that has ever worked for me! I got this from my hair dresser, wasn't expensive, and lasts very long. |
 |
| The Rimmel 60seconds have never been my favourite brand of nail-polish because I was never impressed with their colour ranges. But I am impressed with their new collection, as there are many matte and vibrant colours, just how I like them. The brush is perfect, and the colour pigment is great even with one coat. Also, they really dry in a minute. I have the colours (620, how do you lilac it? ) which is a very pretty lilac and ( 440, sun downer) which is a bright orangey red, and which I absolutely love. |
 |
| The Hawaiian tropic range is everywhere at the moment. Of course I had to buy something, so I bought this moisturising Lip Gloss. It is in the shade island berry, and not surprisingly, it tastes and smells of berry. It also has SPF 25, and stays on for long without sticking. It has all you need in a lip gloss. |
The Body Shop :
 |
 |
| If you're familiar to my blog, you know how much I love the body shop's tea tree range. It was time to buy a face mask, and of course I had to go for this one. I apply it once a week. It really adds freshness to my face, and my skin feels softer since I started using it. |
 |
| I had stopped using exfoliators since I realised that they weren't helping with my acne problem. They were too harsh on my pimples, and they had gone redder, and more fragile. My face has improved, and with the Body Shop's tea tree range, my face has improved a lot. However, I started to get blackheads, so I needed some kind of exfoliator, something which won't damage my skin. This was a long introduction, to present my little exfoliator brush, again, from the bodyshop. I love how small it is, so that I can go around pimples without going on them and harming them. I can exfoliate my nose easily, which is blackhead's favourite place to live. So in summary, I use my tea tree wash, toner and moisturiser twice daily, and twice or three times a week, I use this exfoliator brush when applying my tea tree wash. Then, once a week, I apply my tea tree face mask for around 15 minutes. And I'm not given any incentive for publicizing this, my love for the bodyshop is real. |
 |
| I have used this perfume every single day of school during these two months. It has a fresh scent and is great for everyday. My first Body Shop perfume - DREAMS Unlimited. |
 |
| I hate using liquid foundations in hot weather, so I bought this compact foundation powder, which serves both as a foundation and a powder. I was skeptic on how a powder could cover as good as a foundation, but it does. It is my first makeup product form the Body Shop, and I'm impressed. I love how I can carry it with me, and retouch whenever I need, but It's not really necessary to retouch, because it stays on for long. |
 |
| I know I'm saying this for every product, it's like I've never used makeup products before. But honestly I'm impressed, this is the best mascara I have ever used. It's huge brush, reaches every single lash, and adds curl, length and volume. One coat is great for every day, and for a more dramatic look, just keep on adding coats. |
 |
| Bright lipsticks anyone? These are my two favourite lipsticks for this season. Catrice Ultimate Colour - 210, Pinkadilly Circus, and Revlon Matte 004 Pink About It. The colours are similar, however the Revlon one has some red undertones, it is matte, and more long lasting. The Catrice one is more shiny, and I love to blot the excess product off my lips, to give it a more natural effect, which is perfect for a natural pink lip look for everyday. |
 |
| So here's a story, I went to buy a black eyeliner, but I was in a big hurry, and I bought a brown eyeliner without noticing. That's my story. What do we learn from this story? Brown eye liner is my new best friend. It has the best formula of eyeliner I have ever tried. It lasts forever, I have cried while wearing this, and it all stayed on, as good as new. It is very pigmented and gives a much more neutral effect than a black eye liner. Great both for everyday neutral eyes, and with heavy and dramatic eye makeup. GROW LUSCIOUS LASHLINER 002 ESPRESSO = PIGMENTED + NEUTRAL EFFECT + LONGLASTING = PERFECT The other eye liner is Catrice Precision Eye Pencil in 030, Silver Stallone. I use it for the inner corner of my eyes, to add shine and make my eyes look more awake. Just a little touch makes a huge difference. |
 |
| I have been using constantly this Catrice very pretty natural grey,
with lilac undertones, eyeshadow colour. It is in the shade 270, Grey's Philosophy. The Maybelline Eyestudio eye shadow is 62, Mocha Mirage, which is a combination of two colours, a bronze, and a light pink. The bronze is the perfect colour for a smoky brown eyeshadow look. It it is very pigmented, and very long lasting. It's not very powdery, and I think it's the trick for it's great formula. The light pink acts as a great highlight. I would love to collect the whole range of colours of the Maybelline Eye Studio. I am really impressed with the quality.
