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

Recent Reads #1

Wow. Introducing a new series is exciting. This is going to be something I will do maybe once a month or every two months, depending on the amount of books I am reading. Right now I have a lot but I go through phases with that.
So here we go. My first 'Recent Reads'

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn is the last book I finished and I am in love. When you start the book you have no clue how it ends and even close to the end you are suprised by how it actually ends.
Normally I'm not a crime lover but this was really really good and I couldn't put it down while I read it.

The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon is not something for everyone but I personally loved it. It's a fantasy book and a little abstract like fantasy is. The plot is capturing and the storyline is really good. I am not sure if there is a second part to this but if so, I would definitly buy it!

Allegiant by Veronica Roth  is the third and final part of the Divergent series. After I read the first book( which is my fabourite out of all three), I read the second and third book within a few days. Divergent is probably one of my favourite books and it is worth a read. Allegiant on the other hand wasn't that great. Coming from Divergent you expect great things form this book and I was a little disappointed and reafused to read the ending for  a few weeks because I couldn't believe that it was ending that way. All in all I liked this book but it isn't my favourite from this trilogy.


What are your last reads and did you like them? Have you read any of my recent reads? let me know!
