For once I will upload my Monthly Favorites
post on time. That has to be a first and there is one proud blogger right here *waving* haha! That’s probably because May
was a total blast on the beauty field and I barely contained my excitement for
this post. I’ve found some brilliant beauty bits that left me completely
smitten. Foundation and bronzer for flawless face, stunning purple lippy and
beaut eye shadow to make my eyes pop and gorgeous turquoise nail polish to make
me dream about summer vacation. Dream
team.
Finding a new favorite foundation doesn’t
happen very often but when it does it usually deserves to be banged about a lot. Meet the new love of my beauty
loving heart – the incredible L’Oreal
True Match foundation (here). This
supposed-to-be drugstore version of Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk ticks all the
boxes and left me completely smitten. It offers beautiful medium-full coverage,
which covers all imperfections and leaves my complexion look flawless. True
Match blends so seamlessly into the skin for an oh-so-natural look, which I
adore. It wears for hours and hours and the gorgeous semi-matte, yet dewy
finish is to die for. Love. It.
Gorgeous non-orange bronzer, which smells of
cocoa? Yes please! I confessed my love for the incredible Too Faced Milk Chocolate Soleil Bronzer (here) last summer and this year it is back on. It’s the best
bronzer for pale gals I’ve found and I swear by it! It’s matte, which makes it
perfect both for contouring and for dusting all over the face and I adore that
it’s not muddy or orange. The pigmentation of Chocolate Soleil is spot on and it
applies like breeze. The bronzer feels almost hydrating and doesn’t look
powdery or cake-y as well. And if you are a chocolate lover – the divine scent
will capture your heart in no time. Full review here.
I’ve been into the whole ‘make your eyes
pop’ thing this past month and to help me with that I dug out my first ever MAC product – the Vanilla eye shadow (here).
This muted white with very subtle sheen is the perfect brow bone highlighter but
I cheated a bit and have been using it all over the lid instead. It adds such
beautiful light into the look and I love how it illuminates my eye area. The
shadow could also be used as base color and the pigmentation is pretty decent
and is not chalky. Score.
The most exciting product discovery for the
month of May has been this absolutely gorgeous Revlon Colorboost Crayon Matte Balm in Shameless (here). It’s
the most unique deep purple lippy I’ve found and I am obsessed with it. I know
that I should probably be rocking more vibrant and brighter colors this time of
the year but I couldn't help it – it’s just too beautiful. I know it’s not
everyone’s cup of tea but I adore intense shades like this. Plus purple lips and
green eyes is quite the combo, don’t you think? The formula is far from ideal
as it does cling to dry patches and fine lines but after a good scrub and under
lip balm it’s all good. Review is coming your way veeeery soon.
For the majority of May I have been sporting
Essie Mezmerised on my nails but since I raved about it enough here, I thought I’d talk about number
two in my May most-loved-lacquers list. The ever so gorgeous Barry M Gelly in Greenberry (review here) has been keeping me a great
company and I fell in love with it all over again. It is this beautiful turquoise
polish with perfect blend of green and blue, which reminds me of nothing but
summer and beaches. Greenberry is bright and bold and the faff-free formula allows
easy application and days of wear without chipping. Get involved!
Have you tried any of these
products before? Which is the one product that you have been loving during May?
Love love love! That purple lip colour looks gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI used to love the True Match foundation, although my skin type has been changing recently and now my skin hates it. I'm devastated!

The Too Faced bronzer sounds amazing. I can't make my mind up with the L'Oreal True Match foundation though, I seem to love it one minute then hate it the next hmm. A great selection of products.

Yes to the Revlon Matte Balm in Shameless! It is by far one of my favorite purple lip colors I own. I actually think it goes on pretty smooth for a matte lip product and can be easily worn. I also just love how wonderfully pigmented in it!! Plus, I do like the mint in it. I did a review of this about half a year ago here!

I've been using Vanilla all over the lid recently too - it's so easy for making your eyes look more awake!

You are right ... the true match foundation is really great. It's one of my favorite foundations I've ever used, because it has full coverage (in my case) and is inexpensive.
ReplyDeleteWhoaa Shameless looks like a beauty!
