May Favourites 2013

Beauty

1. Sleek Face Form Palette £10 superdrug: click here

It comes with the much loved contour kit, and the much loved rose gold blush all coming to £10, if bought separately the blush (same size) would be £4.50 and the contour kit (bigger bronzer but same sized highlighter) would be £6.50, meaning it would come to £11

I prefer the face form kit as it is more compact and has everything you need in a set!

Left-right: Bronzer, highlighter, blush.

Sorry the bronzer has come out much more orange on camera than in person.

I think the blush is really similar to benefits CORALista, but many people think its similar to Nars Orgasm

Swatches blended out a little.

2. Mua Undress me too eyeshadow palette £4 superdrug click here

I really loved the undressed palette but I dropped it on my tiled bathroom floor and the two darkest colours broke, the rest stayed in tact but each are lightly dusted with a bit of black cracked eyeshadow, so I went to buy a replacement but there wasn't one at my superdrug so I decided to pick up the undress me too palette which is basically the naked 2 palette dupe. And I'm in love! The naked 2 palette consists of cooler tones for darker eyes, thats me. Honestly I still prefer the undressed palette but I still love it!! Great bargain!

3. Revlon Colorstay Ultimate suede lipstick £9 super drug: click here

or right now £2 off at boots, £7: click here

I am in love!! New favourite drugstore lip product. Really moisturising and silky, the colour I have is no. 20 Front Row but I also quite like is called socialite.

The colour really did stay on my lips for ages! Through drinking and eating.

4. Burt's bees Lip balm with Pomegranate £3.70 at boots: click here

I've also been loving this for a more natural look.

5. Benefit creaseless cream shadow in Samba-dy loves me.

This was a limited edition colour but I love these all round, I also really like birthday suit which is really natural. This is a really good base for the MUA palette as they need a good base.

Super creamy, super pretty and soooo effortless!

6. Real techniques blusher brush Superdrug £10: click here
boots £10: click here

I use this for powder, bronzer and blush.

(I know sounds weird to use it with bronzer, but it gives a really gentle, natural finish)

I love these brushes they are amazingly soft and this one is so fluffy!
Really recommend these brushes over any other brushes.

7. Essie Meet me at Sunset £8 boots: click here

Love this colour its a bright red that sometimes looks orange. Really fun but not to bright summer colour.

8. Taylor Swift Wonderstruck Enchanted Perfume £30 at boots: click here

Taylor Swift Wonderstruck Enchanted pictures & review.

I bought the Taylor Swift Wonderstuck Enchanted perfume as I felt my perfume collection was looking a little run down due to three perfumes running out on me in the last couple of months.

I haven't tried this perfume nor the original T-swift one before so I was excited to give them a sniff, when I did I thought they smelt very similar, but the Enchanted has sweet raspberry/sherbet top note that the other one didn't have. Its a more evening scent than an everyday scent (like the original one is) but I honestly bought this one because it had a prettier bottle....

The original has weaker top notes, that are less sugary and I thought it had tones of vanilla, but sweet vanilla that to me smelt a little too sweet, although that sounds a bit stupid as I did go for the sweeter perfume, I just prefered the enchanted's sweet scents to the originals sweet scents.

The smell is quite similar to my Pink (victoria's secret) [pictures right] Warm and Cozy, which is Peony and Vanilla
I like the base notes of musky vanilla, I also think its a quite woody smell. They contrast smoothly with the sugary berry scents.

I really recommend it, also as its not too expensive.
