OMG it's May... I cannot believe it. This month has been super busy at school and I am super tired but tests are still to come (harder when your Italian teacher expects 100% from everyone and is giving us 13 year-olds GCSE papers - ie for Americans, BIG tests for 16 year-olds). PS: Sorry they're late - I've had trouble uploading pictures.
Anyway, I am here to share my favourites...so let's begin!
Make-Up
Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation - £8.99
This gives my skin an amazing glow and good coverage whilst still looking natural - it's a love!
Miss Sporty 'Morning Baby' BB Cream - £3.49
This gives next-to-no coverage but is great for a glow for school or a lazy day.
e.l.f shimmering facial whip in Lilac Petal - £1.50
OMG - if you want an amazing glow (noticing a pattern - I am) mix this into your foundation and then dot it onto your cheekbones and centre of the face. I makes you look amazing!!!
e.l.f blush in candid coral - £3.75
My least favourite e.l.f blush made my new spring fave - I like the berry colours for winter and now I'm breaking out my corals, peaches and pinks - yay x!
benefit 'it' stick - discontinued (sorry!)
My mum found this in a box of bits for 50p at her work and thought of me - and I love it! It works well all over and under the eyes too - I'm so sad that it's discontinued (then again that stops me spending money on high-end makeup)
Maybelline Colour Tattoo in On and On Bronze - £4.99
I cannot believe that I have almost every colour tattoo and I didn't have this one! This is so gorgey on its own or with shadow over the top. Colour Tattoos always help my eyeshadow to last as even with a high end primer nothing lasts on my lids.
Revlon Lip Butter in Juicy Papaya - £7.99
One of the new shades - and defo my favourite. It is a sort of orange/coral/peach with no shimmer - it looks quite glossy and sheer on the lips and is my new fave colour.
MUA Lipgloss in Shade 3 - discontinued (sorry... again)
I love the smell of this - vanilla - my favourite scent. And the colour's pretty and natural with a non-sticky formula.
Skin and Body Care
Soap and Glory Smoothie Star Body Lotion - £10.00
One pump per leg and 1/2 a pump per arm for this lotion. It is super moisturizing and makes my skin really smooth.
L'Oreal Micellar Water - £4.99
Although this doesn't remove waterproof mascara as it claims it removes all my other makeup and even if I was to pour it into my eyes it would not sting (trust me, large amounts of this has gotten into my eyes). Amazeballs.
Clean and Clear Dual Action Moisturiser - £3.49
Holy. Grail. Product. It's really thin so it's easy to blend in, contains no SPF so it doesn't lower my other SPF and keeps my skin clear all the time I wear it. Seriously - no blemishes whatsoever! It also works as a spot treatment and is good for all skintypes - I have dry skin and it works for me and I could easily see it working for oilier skins too.
Others
Beautiful Creatures Book
I loved this book so much - sort of like Twilight but with different magical themes. I fell in love with the characters and cried when death occured (spoiler!). A definite recommendation!
Vanilla Coke
YESSSS! It's back and I am over the moon - I've been making my own for the past few years and now I don't have to. My favourite drink and I love it!
So those are my favourites! Tell me in the comments of you have any favourites and if you've tried any of mine.
May's going to be a really amazing month - my relatives from Japan are in town and it's great to see them and May is my favouite month of the year because of... EUROVISION! I am a complete Eurovision obsessee and I cannot wait for it... the singing, the performers, the cheese!

After a morning spent at school in a Tudor costume (don't ask), running eight year-olds to the loo, I needed some retail therapy. So I headed to the shops and bought a few new bits.
Before I get into the things I purchased today, I thought I'd mention my new hairdryer. It's from Tresemme and was bought for me by my father with our Nectar points - did you know that good-for-nothing nectar points can now be exchanged for vouchers worth double the amount of points (I'm not sure if this is still the case, but it was about a week ago!). It's this one.
Okay, now onto the fun stuff (unless you like electrical appliances).
I didn't do my usual hour in Primark - I only picked up a few bits. I needed some short leggings as I hate wearing dresses without something underneath - these were £3 a pair and come in a variety of colours - I chose white and navy blue. During summer I live in flip flops and so I bought a couple of new pairs - at a pound per pair you really can't go wrong. One pair is floral and the other a teal stripe.
In New Look I chose two bandeau tops to wear under racer-back vests in purple and orange - these cost £2.99 each. Then I found this gorgeous mint green vest with a cute collar that's classy but can still look fun and girly for £6.99.
In Boots there were bargains to be had - a ghostparties recommended Dove Leave in Conditioner for only £1.79 and a £2 off coupon made this 17 lipstick in Belle only £2.79. In Superdrug I repurchased my beloved Clean and Clear Blackhead Clearing Cleanser for 1/3 off at only £2.29 and a new top coat from MUA for a pound.
Poundland was also a treasure-trove as I found these two Milani quads and this nail polish remover sponge thing (sorry - I have no idea what their real name is x).
Then in Debenhams there was this gorgeous dress from Henry Holland in the sale with a pretty cat print for only £10! Then I found two Burt's Bees tinted lipbalms in Red Dahlia and Hibiscus for £4.99 and this cat necklace (theme... I think so) for just £2.
So that's my haul - I hope you enjoyed and please leave me a comment if you'd like me to review any of the products mentioned!
Speak soon x
Firstly, I am so sad that these lipglosses are not part of the Rimmel UK line (why not - it is Rimmel LONDON, is is not?) and so, I have found them for you here priced at only £1.50 each in every shade. Secondly, this is my second lipgloss post - I hope you don't mind.
So, why have a fought to find these? Why, because they are amazing! The cream formula lasts for ages on my lips and they really are moisturising!
My shades are Rose Cocoon (found in Poundland) and SOS Red (found on Xtras).
Rose Cocoon (left) is a baby pink with a lot of shimmer in it however it looks very girly and cute on.
SOS Red (right) is a bright red shade but is extremely wearable and is my go-to nighttime lip.
These are non-sticky and contain and SPF of 15 so why not?
Especially if you live in the States and so can buy these in your local drugstores!
As soon as I heard about these I was obsessed with finding them. On the day they were released (10th April) I skipped into Superdrug only to be really disappointed with the shade range - similar to the Revlon ones, the shade range is quite cool-toned and the shades I had seen online and loved were not up to my expectation.
However, the shades I found and did like are really amazing.
As you can probably see, Broken Hearted (bottom) is a pinky red with silver shimmer in it (not noticeable on the lips). I have worn this so much and love it.
Justify (top) is an orange that is brilliant and quite red/orange on the lips.
Pros - The twisty thing at the bottom feels a lot stronger and tighter than the Revlon one and the colours are a lot brighter on the lips than Revlon. They're also a bargain at only £3 each.
Cons - The bullets are slightly smaller than the hole that they are in so they wiggle about and squish against the sides when you use them. Also, the lids are too big so they fall off in your bag and the bullets get dirty.
Overall, I like these products but the packaging lets them down so I will not be buying any more.
I love these lipglosses so much and I can't believe I only own two!!!
Firstly, these are only £3.99 each and there's always some kind of offer on (e.g. 3 for 2, BOGO 1/2). Secondly, the colours are phenomenal and they are so pigmented - they look like lipstick on the lips. Last, they are really creamy and not sticky at all.
Very Berry (left) is a beautiful plum red with slight shimmer but nothing too vibrant. It is a perfect Autumn shade.
In the Nude is a gorgeous tan/bronze nude that looks incredible with a tan and a simple outfit.
I give these 5/5 and recommend them to everyone along with 17/Seventeen makeup in general as it's not praised enough.
