Eek
- how are we halfway through the year already? Pinch punch, I'll begin the
first day of the month with my May Favourites.
I've
been meaning to blog about the Charlotte
Tilbury Miracle Eye Wand* for absolutely ages now - so what better way to introduce
it than a favourites post? It really is a miracle and one I've been using every
day for the past five or so weeks. It works wonders on tired eyes, covering
dark circles with ease. On first use, it was difficult to apply the product, as
it took quite a few turns and ended up releasing too much cream and concealer -
but after a couple of uses, it's so easy and you really don't need many clicks,
or much product. I'll admit, the eye cream is no better than the Espa one I use
at night, but I absolutely adore the concealer, which also easily blends into
my foundation. I'd certainly buy this, or a CT concealer, again.
This
month I was forced to use a new brow product, when my pencil unexpectedly ran
out on a WORK day and Boots by work (Tollgate) DID NOT stock my usual. But it
does mean I have a new favourite - step forward Soap & Glory Archery 2-in-1 Sculpting Crayon & Setting Gel.
I've used Soap & Glory pencils before, but definitely prefer the consistency
and application of the crayon. I was also previously using a setting gel
(Benefit's Ready Set Brow) so glad
this combines two of the necessary products for perfect brows. I bought the
shade Blonde Ambition, which is
actually their lightest shade, but surprisingly matches my natural brows. I
could not be happier with my replacement - soz, not soz Collection.
Another
product I've been loving is the L'Occitane
Almond Shower Oil, which previously appeared on my blog in a review post (read more: Iris de Mouy pour L’Occitane).
As mentioned in that post, I've been using it as a bath oil once a week. I love
that it leaves my skin so smooth and thoroughly moisturised - particularly when
bathing in summer can leave my skin dry and irritated.
I'm
ending the post with two very random additions, which will make you ask
"where the hell have you been lately?!" I am currently reading The Girl on the Train and refuse to
watch the film until I've read it all. It's coming with me to Sicily, so I
should get a bit of plane reading in - and pray I finish it by the time I'm
back so I can finally watch the film. I won't lie, it took me a few pages to
get into, because I wasn't completely following - but I am now genuinely hooked
and cannot put it down.
Something
else I'm currently totally hooked on is Thirteen
Reasons Why, the popular Netflix series. I don't actually have Netflix,
which is why it's taken me so long to find out about it. But I started watching
it last weekend with Ashley and we managed to get about eight episodes in. I
guess it's still a monthly favourite, right? We are trying to predict who the
final eps are about and I can't help but think one of the former 'suspects'
will return (largely because I don't think I could name five new characters).
Apparently, there will also be a second series, which I'm super excited about -
although without watching the end, I don't know how it'd work? Don't spoil it
for me, guys! We also need something to watch afterwards, so please leave your
recommendations below.
What
were your May favourites?
Love,
Lucy xx
