May favourites!

Hey everyone,

I now have 2 days left of official school before 4 days of "study leave" so I'm really, really excited to leave. Ahhhh!!

Now, as promised, here are my favourite products of May.

I tried a lot of new beauty products last month, so here they are...

First up is the Real Techniques setting brush. I LOVE Real Techniques a lot and this brush is so versatile. I use it to contour the hollows of my cheeks as it is so small and useful for not going too bronzed. I then blend the bronzer out with a bigger powder brush. I also use it to set and blend concealer; it is so good just to pat onto blemishes and under-eye circles. Real Techniques brushes are also so easy to clean and there are no "malting" hairs which is great.

Next, we have Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser. I must say, I was never a fan of using primer but recently my skin has gotten more oily and my make up was slipping off easily throughout the day, even with face powder. I wanted to try a new primer which was light yet made my makeup stay on for a long time and I can say this is definitely working. I use it after moisturising then let it set into my skin before applying foundation. It makes the process so much easier and my makeup looks so much better. I still get a bit of shine after about 7 hours of wear but I've only been at school recently and I care way more about exams than what I look like at the moment!

Let's just say, I straighten my hair A LOT. I wanted to try a new heat protector as the one I was using before only went up to 180 degrees, whereas this Mark Hill Extreme Heat Protection Spray protected against a high 230 degrees which is what my GHD hair straighteners reach. After using this, I can feel the difference in my hair greatly. The breakage and split ends have dropped dramatically, which is what I was paranoid about because my hair is not growing at all. This has changed the condition and I can't wait to keep using it!

I love this Carmex Moisture Plus Beauty Balm soooo much! Dry lips are my worst enemy and this has helped defeat them so well. The added colour (Berry I think?) makes my lips look so nice and the taste/smell is gorgeous. Love love loveeee!

And to finish, here's the Paco Rabanne Lady Million Perfume. I always have to add a spray of perfume before I leave the house in the morning and this is so perfect just to wear everyday. The smell is really sophisticated and quite spicy but girly at the same time. The gold diamond shaped bottle is beautiful and adds to that sense of sophistication. 

Have any of you tried any of these? How have you got on?
