May Favourites ☼

May has to be my favourite month of the year and that may have to do something with my birthday on the 16th. I went out with a couple of my closest friends but I didn't do anything special this year as I 'just' turned 17. Nevertheless I had a great day and I am very very thankful for everything I got and for the amazing family and friends that I have. Well enough about that. May has been an eventful month for me and I discovered some new products that I fell in love with or rediscovered some old loves of mine.

w7 in the buff natural nudes eye colour palette is my first favourite of the month. My lovely friends gifted it to me on my birthday and I have been using it ever since. There is a lovely selection of nude colours. Shimmery and matte from light to dark. The eyeshadow applies very smooth and buttery and I love the finish that they give. The only thing is that I have to wear it with a primer because otherwise it will smudge but that's all right.
If you want a full review on this with swatches and all that jazz please let me know!

My tanlge teazer is an all time favourite but I have been especially loving it this month because I started to let my hair dry naturally which caused a major tanlge and my normal brushes couldn't tame my hair. The Tanlge Teazer is great for everyone and I couldn't recommend it more.

Next up is a combination of two things. My Hoola Bronzer by Benefit and the Zoeva brush 128. Before buying this brush I always used a fluffy face brush for contouring and as you can imagine it didn't quite work out. More towards the end of this month I finally decided to buy a real countouring brush and went for the Zoeva brush as I am majorly in love with my concealer buffer (142) by Zoeva. Those brushes are beyond soft and blend everthing perfectly.
And because the weather has been great lately I am really into the "bronzed and tanned" look and the Hoola Bronzer is perfect for that because it isn't too orange or looks fake on my fair skin it just looks natural.

My last favourite of the month is the Super Liner Perfect Slim by Loréal. I am a big fan of the slim black liner and this is the best liner for that that I have tried. It is fairly easy to apply and gives a wonderful deep black line that doesn't smudge throughout the day. Even after using it for a month now the tip is still perfectly pointy.

What have you been loving this month and is there anything that I have to try in June? I hope you are having a great day. xx

Birthday Wishlist

I am turning 17 in a little less then two weeks and I thought that it would be interesting for you to see what I want for my birthday as I am always struggeling to actually come up with stuff that I could wish for.
This is a very random selection of stuff and I will update you with what I got if you are interested. Please let me know and I will do a birthday "haul".

Let's start of with the, for some boring, but for me most exciting things. Books. I am a huge bookworm and I read a lot. And by a lot I mean way too much and way too fast. You can give me a book with 700 pages and I will be done with it in the evening if I want to. So I have to stock up from time to time.

Lone Wolf by Jodi Picoult is on the top of my wishlist. I started reading it a little in a bookshop today and I completly fell in love. It was recommended to me by a woman standing next to me that saw that I was eyeing the John Green books to see if there was anything I hadn't read yet (there wasn't). She told me that if I liked John Green I would love Jodi Picoult and so I started reading the beginning of two books.
The Storyteller is another book by Jodi Picoult that also sound really interesting and I will give it a try but I want to read Lone Wolf first.

The girl who saved the king of Sweden by Jonas Jonasson is another book that caught my I first of all because of the amazing cover that attracted me and because of the title because it is rather odd. I don't know if you have heard of Jonasson but he also wrote the book the 100-year-old man who climbed out the window and went missing. I haven't read that book but my mother told me that it was a little weird but kind of good. The story of this book is interesting and I want to get into it.

Well there you have my few book choices. Three isn't a lot but maybe my family will come up with some other ideas.
(I was going to wish for Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn but then I realized that we already own that book and I will start reading it now.)

There are also a few beauty products that I am very interested in but I wouldn't buy them myself because they are a bit more on the expensive side.

The first one is the Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray. I have heard great things about it and I would love to try it myself but the price is a little over 20€ and that is kind of a lot.

Another thing that I would love to try is the Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer because I heard a lot of good things about it but it is very expensive.

Because Estée (Essiebutton) always raves about the Honey Bronzer from Body Shop I want to try it myself but I am too lazy to buy it myself as I already own two amazing bronzers.

I also would like to try the Body Shop Peach sented stuff because it smells great but I don't want to buy it for  myself because stuff like that is always more like a gift kind of thing.

The final beauty thing I am wishing for is the MAC Minerelized Skinfinish in Soft and Gentle. I am not a huge highlighter and I don't own any highlighter or blush, as I blush a lot naturally so I really don't need anything to enhance that. But I have heard such great things about this Highlighter that I have to give it a try.

Well this got longer than I expected it to be. If you want to hear a review to any of those products(If I should get them) please let me know. I would also love to do like little reading posts where I update you on what I am currently reading, what I am going to read and what I read and what I thought about it.
Have a lovely day. xx
