May favourites 2014

This month there have been a few products that have really stood out to me, obviously I could talk about all the bronzers that I love and lipsticks etc but I'm just going to talk about the products that have specifically stood out to me this month.

The first product I'm going to talk about is umberto Giannini backcomb in a bottle, I have eyed this range up in boots for such a long time and I don't know why iv never tried them before, I got this aswel as the princess purrfect hot styler spray and plump & sexy volume conditioner they were around £6 each and I have been loving all 3 products so I will definitely be trying out more. Backcomb in a bottle stood out to me the most because whenever I usually tease my hair I could never seem to get that big back comb look maybe a little bit using loads of products making my hair feel gross and would probably go flat again straight away, so I tried this out for the first time after I baught it wich was towards the end of May but straight away it was love at first use, I actually got the big backcomb look by just following the easy instructions on the bottle so for me this is a miracle product and it smells gorgeous.

Next is Katy perry meow perfume. My boyfriend surprised me with this about a month ago because he knows I love anything to do with cats, iv been loving this perfume it smells sweet wich I love and it's it's light pink with rose gold coloured metal wich I love but you can't really see in the pic, and it's collar had an M for meow but my name is Michaela so it's my initial aswel and it doubles as a ring.

Next is dove summer glow + soft shimmer.

I used to love the origional summer glow years ago but then I stopped using it when I started using at moritz wich I also love, then when I was going on holiday to prestatyn last month for 5 days I picked this up from superdrug because I love glowy looking skin wich this one gives you, and I was using it there every other day sometimes I did it at night and sometimes I did it in the day because I love the look it gives you when you put it on, even if you put it on the night before you wake up with a light natural looking tan and glowy because of the subtle shimmers but they wash off when you take a bath so your just left with the tan, I prefer the look with the shimmer though that's why I sometimes used it in the day and I'll continue to use this through the summer.

Next is soap and glory make yourself youthful rejuvenating facial serum and Johnsons hydrating 24hr day cream with SPF15

Iv been using these 2 products together everyday through May the face serum I use after I wash my face with soap and glory peaches and clean cleanser (wich should also be in my favourites really because iv been loving that) the face serum is a gel light formula but dries really quickly it claims it's 'clinically proven SUPER-YOUTH™P3000 pentapeptides, wrinkle-depth-reducing DELINER™, a circulation-stimulating oxygen complex, and special TEWL-reducing moisture-trap matrix. It targets all the usual suspects – fine lines around the mouth, eyes and forehead – and is a fast fix when your age shows up on your face! Suitable for all skin types.' I don't know if it is doing any thing to fine lines because I don't really have that many but it does make my skin look and feel smoother. 

Then after this I use the Johnsons day cream wich I have really enjoyed and I didn't think I would and iv used it all up in a month or 2, when I ran out of my beloved lush celestial face moisturiser I bought this just to do me until I repurchased celestial but I have really loved using the Johnsons one it doesn't smell as nice as celestial and the texture is totally different but I think I'm going to repurchase the Johnsons one because the price difference, Johnsons is only around £3.99 at the most and lush celestial is around £12 and you get around the same amount of product in both I think you get 5g more in the Johnsons one, as you can see it's completely empty iv tried scraping the last bits out as much as I could.

Next is the maybelline instant anti age the eraser eye. 

Iv been loving this for under my eyes and on any blemishes it's the best conceler iv ever used, I'd heard good things about it but I didn't expect it to be as good as amazing as it is. Iv never really been a concealer girl but this has converted me I use it every day.

Next is the naked 3 palette, but mainly nooner eyeshadow it's a matte eyeshadow I usually prefer shimmer but I'm loving this one and using it alone for a simple eye I apply it all over the lid and up into the crease and on the bottom lash line and just add mascara. Here is a swatch

Iv also been loving mac woodwinked eyeshadow

It's a veluxe pearl finish looks gorgeous with a tan and Iv been wearing this the same way as nooner iv either been wearing this or nooner if I want just a simple pretty everyday eye look, or I add another eyeshadow to them for a more dramatic look.

Next is sleek blush by 3 Pumpkin

Iv been loving this blush trio it has 3 gorgeous summery blushes intensely pigmented so you only need to lightly dab your brush in so this palette will probly last me forever and there's 3 different shades in it so it's great for any look.Maybelline baby lips peach kiss.

This feels so soft on the lips, smells amazing and has a sheer peachy nude tint to it and iv been wearing it none stop.

Last but definitely not least sleek lipsticks

Barely there, peaches & cream and tangerine scream, I only recently got these the end of May but iv been loving them so much I had to include them these are the only 3 Sleek lipsticks I own but when I have more il be doing a seperate post with swatches on my lips so you can see what they look like on.

Below is a pic of me wearing tangerine scream love this colour bright orange lips are so in this summer and this is a dupe of mac morange and it's a lot cheaper.
