Beauty Tuesday | May Favourites!

by

I really like that piece of music yesterday – I need to listen to more classical music again, I miss having it in my life. I also miss playing my flute 😦

Anyway, today I am hopping on the beauty bloggers bandwagon, I’m going to share yet another list with you today, of lots of different things I’ve been loving in the month of May.

Where the hell is this year going by the way? It’s already June.

So my skincare favourite this month has definitely the Ginger Sparkle Body Butter by The Body Shop. Unfortunately, this came out at Christmas, and is no longer available, but it is absolutely stunning. It absorbs beautifully into the skin without being really greasy, and is smells divine, and it lingers aswell. When I was tucked up in bed last night I got a lovely waft of gingerbread. I also have a mini of the Clementine Body Butter, and a very long time ago I had the Pink Grapefruit version – these will always be a staple in my bathroom.

My makeup favourite is an oldie but a goodie – Urban Decay’s Naked palette. I bought this about a year and a half ago, I use it nearly every day, and I’ve barely even scratched the surface. It’s so worth shelling out the *cough 37 quid cough* because the eyeshadows are high quality, extremely blendable, and great everyday shades, and the brush that comes with it is a really lovely brush, although I wish it came with a blending brush. Definitely worth the investment.

I’m not overly into hair products, I find that if I use product in my hair it just makes it really greasy really quickly, and I have pretty oily hair to begin with, so it just turns into a bit of a nightmare. Products also knot my hair into dreadlocks, which is a whole other nightmare, but  I’ve really been liking the Dove Hair Therapy Dry Shampoo. Now, I absolutely detest dry shampoos, they just make my hair feeling really heavy and oily, but this one is quite lovely. It smells really nice, and it works really effectively as a texturising/volumizing spray. A fab little product, and really cheap too. Their Heat Defense spray is also really lovely.

Onto some more random favourites now, starting with TV shows.

There are only three words.

GAME.

OF.

THRONES.

Just watch it. Power through the first couple of episodes and the boobs will ease off. It is such a great show, and the books are even better. Just  do it. You won’t regret it.

I’ve almost finished Breaking Bad aswell – I know I was super late to that party, but it is really a very compelling show. And seeing Malcolm in the Middle’s dad cooking meth is just hilar.

Food fave? Sweet Potatoes and Halloumi. Obsessed. Sweet Potato fries. Sweet Potato brownies. Jacket Sweet Potatoes. SWEET POTATO ERRYTHANG. They are just so much tastier than normal potatoes, and a lot healthier for you. Fried halloumi is also an obsession, and I’ve even got my boyfriend obsessed. Love it.

And as my final favourite, it is Twining’s Gingerbread Green Tea. It is so delicious, and I look forward to my cup of it every morning with breakfast. It tastes like cake. Delish.

So those are some of the things I’ve been loving this month! See you tomorrow 😀
