May has been a SUPER busy month. Dillon's little brother graduated, my 23rd birthday, Dillon started a new job....just ugh! So much! It has gone by so fast. But I obviously didn't let that stop me from loving things beauty, fashion, books, movies and all that jazz!
So, here are all the things I have been loving this month:
Makeup:
1. Naked Basics by Urban Decay
2. NARS Loves NY by Nars
3. Juicy Papaya Lip Butter by Revlon
4. Sexy Mother Pucker by Soap and Glory
5. Real Techniques Brushes
Naked Basics is this great matte palette with six great neutral shades. Simple as that.
The Nars palette was actually a Birthday present from Dillon (Thanks love!). Its my go-to when I need to travel. Four great shadows that compliment each other. I can do a day and night look quick and easy. And a blusher and bronzer! You basically get a whole face in one palette. Its so pretty. Ugh.
Juicy Papaya is my "my lips but better" lip color. I found it this month and it has not left my bag since. For those natural days where I just want something moisturizing and easy, this is it. Don't need a mirror, just pop it on and I am good to go. Looks great. And you cannot beat the price!
Sexy Mother Pucker (how clever is that name!?)
is so so so pretty for the summer time! Bright pink, but more balmy then a regular lipstick. And when it applies it adds its own gloss. No need to bring a separate gloss with you! Its the semi-sheer glossy wonderful stick of pretty! And its smells AMAZING!
And for the brushes. I picked these up at the end of April and haven't used anything else since. They are the nicest brushes I have ever used. They apply like a dream! No shedding, applies evenly and flawlessly. And they are SO affordable! I cannot get enough of them! I own almost all of them and would rather have these then some of my high-end ones. Just can't say enough wonderful things about them. And they were created by a beauty guru on youtube...how great is that!?
Hair Products:
1. Beauty Protector Heat Spray
2. Moroccan Argan Oil
3. Loreal Magenta Hair Dye
The Heat Protector in question is like a saving grace. Not only does it protect from heat..and for me its amazing since I heat style almost everyday. But it's also a leave in conditioner and detangler. Amazingly it doesn't make my hair greasy either, which most things like this do. So it's a winner for sure.
The moroccan oil, does the same as all moroccan oils, I just really happen to like this brand because it matches my shampoo and conditioner. haha. But I just put it on my ends, which are so dry and limp. It makes them nice and shiny and not look as fried as they usually do.
Recently I decided to ombre my hair. I didn't want to do the blond thing since my hair is not that long, didn't want something so drastic. So, I got this Magenta hair dye...looks more maroon. I love it. So cute and fun!
Bag/Accessory:
City Bag from Zara
You can literally put everything in this bag. Its got so many compartments. There is a padded section for your laptop and ipad. With plenty of room for the rest of your junk. I carry my life in my purse so this bag is like my favorite thing ever!
Scent:
Paris Amour by Bath and Body Works
I wear this almost every single day. So nice and florally! Give it a spritz next time your at your Bath and Body Works.
Nail Polish:
Glow Stick by Orly
The color is exactly how it's named...a glow stick! It is highlighter yellow, and so bright that it seems to glow in the dark. But perfect for summer!
And now for some random favorites!
Snack:
Ants on a log! Yummmm
Or, to people who don't think they are still 5, celery with peanut butter and raisins. So good! And healthy... and I don't usually do heathy!
Creative Outlet:
Wreck This Journal
Still have more "wrecking" to do, but I take this sucker with me everywhere! You an open to any page, follow the instructions and have a blast. It keeps me creative and my mind going. which is nice since I am no longer in school and have no creative outlet along those lines.
Game:
Lego Harry Potter Years 1-4 and 5-7. Beat 100% woot woot!
Dillon and I usually don't play video games together, but I got mono this month and spent a lot of time just being a couch potato. So we spent most this month beating one of the few games that is mine, Lego Harry Potter. I have never played a game with someone else and it was so fun. We laughed a lot, stayed up far too late and acted like we were 16 again. Not to mention Harry Potter is pretty much our favorite thing ever next to Disney, so this just made it a thousand times better!
Movie:
Anonymous (Side Note: Jamie Campbell Bower...Swoon!)
This movie is about the theory that William Shakespeare did not write his plays. I wont go into too much detail since I am planning on doing a review, but as a someone with a theatre degree, this was such a good watch. I found it so interesting, and Jamie Campbell Bower is not hard to look at!
Arrested Development
It is no secret that this show FINALLY came back to Netflix. AND ON MY BIRTHDAY! So, we have been watching, and laughing ever since. We are so excited its back even if it is only just for this season.
Random:
The Mortal Instruments: Parallel Worlds Box by NYX.
Cute little makeup box set in anticipation of the upcoming City of Bones movie. I am totally obsessed with all the Mortal Instruments...don't judge me! The makeup is super cute and I have been using it ever since I got it. Just a fun little thing for the movie where you can recreate the looks from two of the females in the movie.
Book:
The Mortal Instruments Series
Ugh. I cannot in a little blurb explain these books and how much I love them. They are teen novels...I am going to go ahead and throw that out there. But I have read them all in less then two months. I will be doing a full review on them soon, but I had to include them in my May favorites!
So, these are all my May favorites! I will be doing reviews and such on some of these things in the future. But I wanted to give you a quick run down of all the things I am loving this month!!
What have you been enjoying this month? I love knowing, I am so nosey and love trying new things =]
