May Blog-A-Thon Day Thirty One – May 2014 Favourites

Hi Guys!

We have made it to the last day of May Blog-A-Thon yay!!!! I have had a lot of fun challenging myself to upload a new post for every day in the month of May as hard as it was sometimes. I hope you all enjoyed it and I may do this kind of thing again some time in the future. I have never really had a set upload routine but before May I generally tried to post 3-4 times per week so normally every second day or so. I plan to go back to uploading around 3-4 posts per week for the foreseeable future. Now onto today’s post, I thought it was only fitting to upload my favourite products for this month on the final day of May Blog-A-Thon.

All favourites

I have not been wearing makeup everyday this month as I haven’t been working as many days and don’t tend to wear makeup if I am just sitting around the house blogging. So I don’t have a lot of makeup items this month and I also noticed that two of the items I have were actually in last month’s favourites…oops! Sorry about that, I didn’t realise until after I had chosen my products and taken and uploaded photos of them. I guess if I am featuring them in two months in a row you know I truly love them.

Ok let’s get onto the products,

face masks

Arbonne SeaSource Sea Mud Face & Body Mask –

This is one of the products that I featured last month and this really is one of my favourite masks. I won’t talk too much about ti given I already have before but it is just a really great mud mask that really helps to clean out my pores and clear my skin up.

nude lips

Nude Lips –

This month I have been really loving to wear a nude lip all the time which is so unlike me. I am usually the girl rocking bright purple lipstick at work! These four products I have been really loving to get the perfect nude lips this month.

–       Essence Metal Glam Lipgloss in Glam-Me

This was limited edition a couple of months ago so I am not sure if you get still get it but it is a really nice shimmery golden nude lip gloss that is a great topper for any of the following products.

–       Milani Colour Sensational Lipstick in Nude Crème

This is a really great pinky/beige nude lipstick that smells like watermelon!

–       Bite Beauty High Pigment Lip Pencil in Madeira

This is another great pinky/beige nude that is a little paler than the Milani or Australis lipsticks and is so easy to just throw on and go. I absolutely love this lip pencil.

–       Australis Velourlips Matte Lip Cream in Pa-Ree

I cannot wear this lip product alone, I hate the feeling of it as it feels kind of dry and sticky, it’s so weird! However I do love this lip product as a base to any lipstick or gloss as it is very long lasting and does not feel uncomfortable once it has something else on top of it.

perfume

Brittney Spears Island Fantasy Eau De Toilette –

I know its Autumn in Australia so I should be going for warmer scents but I love fresh summer scents all year round! This smells like a tropical beach holiday in a bottle! It’s very fresh and fruity and I absolutely love this scent.

mascara

Covergirl Clump Crusher Mascara –

I have been enjoying this mascara a lot this month and this is the second product to be featured in my favourites two months in a row. I do plan on doing a full review on it soon so I won’t talk too much about it but I do really like it.

toner

Michael Todd True Organics Blue Green Algae Toner –

I hauled this product this month and so far I really like it. It has a very herbal/lavender scent so if you are sensitive to scents this may bother you even though the scent is from the natural products in it. I used to use the Michael Todd Cranberry toner and I have purchased another one of that to use next but I have been really liking this one to. The toner is refreshing but doesn’t dry my skin out.

body butter

Arbonne Ginger and Citrus Body Butter –

This body butter was a part of the limited edition holiday range last Christmas and I have been absolutely loving it recently. It has the best light and fresh scent that is very subtle and not offensive in any way. It is very moisturising and sinks into the skin quickly which I love.

concealer

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in Sand –

I have had this concealer in my draw unopened for ages because I thought I had picked up the wrong shade and it would be too dark for me but I opened it this month and found I actually can use it. This is a light coverage concealer so even though it is a little dark it still works under my eyes and I usually put a highlighting concealer over the top anyways. It is smooth and creamy and blends in well. Not my favourite concealer due to the low coverage but I have still been enjoying it for a basic everyday concealer.

eye pencil

Jordanna 12 Hr Made to Last Eyeshadow pencil in Continuous Almond –

I have been using this as an eyeshadow base and it is amazing! It is smooth and creamy and covers and discolouration on my eye lids and my eye shadow doesn’t budge all day! I love this!

So that sums up my favourites for this month, let me know in the comments below what you have been loving this month.
