This month has been a stressful one to say the least as is May, as with every month I am always in shock with how fast it is going. Time is of the essence and this months living in the moment goal and helped me a huge deal. The motto is now 'if it doesn't get done today there's always tomorrow'. Here is what I have been loving this past month..
Shampoo is one thing I hate buying, there is just so much choice out there and I never know what one is best for me. L'Oréal realised there new clay range late last month I think and I had to get my hands on it. The Elvive Extraordinary Clay shampoo (£3.99) is something I grabbed on a whim in Boots as it was on offer and since then I have bought 3 bottles. The formula of this shampoo has been designed for oily roots and dry ends - me to a t! Using this shampoo for the past few weeks has improved the condition of my hair and made it easier for me to go 3 days without washing. I got the dry shampoo from the range the other and wasn't that impressed first time round, maybe a few more tries!
My skin is slowly but surely getting to a stage where I am happy with it, taking time in the evenings to treat it correctly has made a huge impact. The product of the moment has to be the Pixi Glow Tonic (£18)! I fell for the hype and the hype is correct - this stuff is amazing. I don't know the science behind it other than it contains magical ingredients to give your skin a boost! My complexion looks healthier and brighter.
My makeup this month has been pretty much the same thing, very simple and easy going. I have discovered an old favourite, the L'Oreal Infallible Matte Foundation (£7.99) . I forgot how good this is at covering my blemishes, evening out my skin tone and lasting all day. I am becoming a BIG fan of their base products, the primer, foundation and fixing mist make the perfect trio! (full review here)
To apply this foundation I have also rediscovered another old favourite, the real techniques miracle complexion sponge. using this damp with the matte foundation makes a perfect match. It is however, very dirty so apologies - still figuring out how to clean it effectively. Any ideas?
My lip options this month have been narrowed down to two things, the first is the Rimmel Eastend Snob Lipliner (£3.99), this is also another product that I fell into they hype for. On a day to day basis this has been what I have opted for, on its own too! Looks amazing. The other lip option is NARS Cruella (£20), I wore this for about a week in April because it is just so god damn beautiful. It sits nicely on the lips and is very long lasting.
For more non-beauty favourites, I have been loving my Lidl perfume (full post), it is now its last legs and ready for a new bottle but all in all amazing value for money. I have been loving Empire and Made in Chelsea, which both come back to back on a Monday night - truly spectacular! Lastly food, this month I have been 'clean eating' with the occasional treat day. Sweet potatoes are my newest obsession, they taste so good!
What have you been loving this month?
