It seems like May has come and gone by faster then urm...*inserts really good comparison about time flying by*.
But seriously, it really has flown by we're already in June, so now is the perfect time to tell you my makeup favourites from the month of May. I was going to write this at the end of May but with exams and everything I haaaaaaaad to revise. This May I've had a few new favourites as I've discovered many new brands... well they aren't new I'm just pretty late on the band wagon!
To start off with I went to Kiko. I've seen Kiko used a lot on Youtube by many of my favourite American and European makeup artists and I didn't realise you could by it in the UK! BUT YOU CAN and have been able to for about 3 years in my local shopping centre! (Shows how much attention I pay to life really!) Anyway I went a bit Kiko crazy because well I was super excited!
- First thing I bought was an infinity eyeshadow in 213 Mat Cocoa which I've been using as a colour to define my eyes. The shade is slightly pinkish which I wasn't intentionally looking for but I ended up loving it plus the colour payoff is amazing and they blend well for only £5.90
- Next, I bought two precision lip liners in 303 Indian Red and 302 Natural Pink. I was looking for a not so nude nude, something slightly warmer then nude but still subtle. They are super easy to apply with a matte finish. The website says there waterproof which I'd have to agree with they do wear slightly but they don't budge for an affordable £4.20
- Lastly I got two Pencil Lip Glosses in 10 Dark Rose and 11 Mauve Beige unlike normal lip glosses they're aren't sticky which I LOVE because I hate the feeling of lip gloss. They have a more satin lipstick finish then lip gloss and they contain vitamin E which is anti ageing, bonus! The only problem is I haven't found a sharper big enough to sharpen them with yet but for £3.90 I don't really mind.
My next favourite is an eyeshadow palette from BeautyUK called No. 4 - Earth Child. I hadn't heard of BeautyUK before and I accidentally came across the brand in Superdrug, the stand was tucked right at the back and I have NO IDEA why because I love it and its sooooooo cheap, the most expensive item is £5.99, I mean you cant go wrong.
- I absolutely love this palette especially for £3.99, my favourite colours are the 4 golden toned colours which I use on an everyday basis. I use the bronze, copper, gold colour (great use of adjectives Kayla) to contour my eyes, I then put the gold in middle and outer third of my eye, I apply the cream colour on the inner third of my eye to open them up. If I'm looking for more depth I add the purple gold on the outer third of my eye aswell. That may seem quite confusing but if you close your eyes and place three fingers on your eyelid you'll understand what I mean when I split my eyelids into thirds.
- Honesty is a light pinkish bronze colour with bronze gold glitter and chunky silver glitter. It has a lovely colour pay off and despite the chunky glitter it is very subtle and suitable for everyday wear. Cork on the other had is a warm toned soft matte brown perfect for contouring both the eyes and cheekbones. Both shades are buildable and extremely easy to blend and despite the heavy price they are worth the money.
You could say I've tried quite a few makeup products this month. Lips, eyes and bronze seem to be the theme for this month. I couldn't be happier with the things I've bought and they'll probably still be my favourites in June. I hope you enjoyed reading about my makeup favourites as much as I've enjoyed using them and maybe inspired you to try out some new products.
See ya in my next post! Byeeeeeeeee xo
*Disclaimer: In no way am I trying to show off with any of the products I talk about. Some people collect stamps, well I buy makeup and as I want to have a career in the fashion and beauty industry I like to try different products and expand my own personal knowledge. love you xo*
