This month, most things I've used have been somewhat so-so; not overly great, but not horrible either. I was also trying to use up several things that were just OK before moving on, so that limited my selection. However, here were a few that stood out...
Favorites
Lips: NYX Lip Primer in Nude – For being a relatively
inexpensive product, this has totally changed my lip routine. I had been having a real problem with
bleeding and feathering, sometimes with lipsticks but especially with
glosses. I don’t typically use lip
liner, though I’m starting to try more of them.
This goes onto my lips very sheer, but I can definitely tell I have
something on. My glosses then stay
really well, even really pigmented ones.
I must say, I’m impressed! Do you use lip primers? Are you a lip liner fan?
Eyes: Pixi Mesmerizing Mineral Duo Eyeshadow in Apricot Glow – I have been thoroughly impressed with this eyeshadow. Good color and NO fallout! While I haven’t used this a ton (more due to
how the colors look on me than anything else), I am so impressed with the
formula of these shadows. What is you go-to eyeshadow?
Face: Benefit Rockateur – Since picking up the small magnetic needle cases, I have been
carrying this with me non-stop. It gives
me a nice pink slush, but it’s really hard for me to go overboard even though I’m
not overly comfortable with powder blushes.
Right now, when I use a powder blush, this is it. Do you prefer powder or cream blushes?
Fragrance: Harvey
Prince Hello – I picked up a purse spray in a travel set from Birchbox
(separate post to come), and have already used up probably a quarter of it over
the past month. I have really enjoyed
all of the Harvey Prince scents I’ve tried, so adding more than just a sample of
this has been quite fun.
Hair: It’s A 10 Miracle Leave-In Product – This has
been great while trying to sort out hair issues this month. A light spritz of this on shampooed hair let
me get a brush through almost as well as an in-shower conditioner.
Book: Eragon series by Christopher Paolini – I know I’m
late to the party on this one, but I have really been enjoying listening to
this series this month. I finished
Eragon and immediately downloaded the second book, Eldest. I am glad that I listened to these with how
complex the story is, and the reader is excellent. Have you read any good books lately? Do you listen to books at all?
Movie: Pitch Perfect 2 – I saw several really good
movies this month, but this one came out on top because of the amazing
singing. There were plenty of laughs and
an OK story, but I don’t think it was as good as the first. However, there were plenty of points when I
laughed out loud, and the ending made me cry.
TV: Lip Sync Battle – If you have not seen this Spike
show yet, you are seriously missing out.
This has become the highlight of our Thursday nights, and we watch the
reruns constantly. My favorite episodes
are the Anne Hathaway vs. Emily Blunt and the Jimmy Fallon vs. The Rock. Go pull up some YouTube videos, then tune in
Thursdays at 10pm.
On to the disappointments...
Supergoop Eye Cream (not moisturizing at all); Shea Moisture 10-in-1 Renewal System Shampoo (left my hair feeling greasy no matter what I did); Caress Adore Forever Body Wash (don't love the smell and doesn't refresh like it says it should)Shout out some of your May favorites in the comments below, and subscribe or follow so you don't miss a post!
