May Favourites

Everyone says it but it’s true, where on earth are the months going? I can’t even get over the fact May is now done and dusted and we’re in June. Scotland is also brightening and warming up so I’ve even more confused. While I sit and ponder the weather and the time you can read my monthly favourites. How excited are you?

1. Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish

Where on earth has this been all my life? Hyped up products usually don’t agree with me but the Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish is the one exception to that. This blows my usual cleanser out of the water! Just in case you don’t know what the Cleanse and Polish is like it’s a cream that you apply all over your face that you then remove with the muslin cloth provided. It’s easy to rub in to the skin and removes every trace of make up left on your face. My skin has been so much clearer since using the Cleanse and Polish and I honestly can’t fault it. It’s well worth the hype and the amount of awards it’s won.

I think it's about time I sharpened this.
2. Rimmel London Eyebrow Pencil in Black Brown:

Up until a few months ago I was using a black eyeshadow to fill in my eyebrows but as of recently I wanted something a bit more natural. I had this eyebrow pencil lying around in my collection for a while and decided it was about time I used it. I don’t have the steadiest of hands so it took a bit of practice but this pencil is incredible and very forgiving. The colour is only a smidge darker than my natural eyebrow colour so it’s perfect for me. It’s soft and subtle and everything I want in an eyebrow pencil.

3. Marc Jacobs Honey:

Guess who’s back, back again. Honey’s back, tell a friend. Ok that doesn’t work as well as the beginning of Eminem - Without Me but roll with it. Marc Jacobs Honey featured in my January Favourites but I just couldn’t resist talking about it again. I know, I know it’s not the most unique of scents but I can’t get enough of it. It’s citrusy and sweet yet somewhat floral and it lasts all day. If I could marry a perfume I think this would be the one. Do I have to buy the ring here or…?

4. Shearer Candle in Black Vanilla:

Look at the blogger talking about candles, like you’ve never seen that before!

I like the idea of candles but my inability to use a match without burning myself put me off them. It also didn’t help that I was confined to a small, cramped space that would probably catch fire should I have ever used one. I’m now in a much bigger bedroom (more on that in another post) so I can light candles and not have to worry about flames. The Shearer candle in Black Vanilla is a good wee scent. It’s not an overpowering vanilla and is actually rather relaxing. I’ve barely used any of it but I am going to be quite gutted when it’s finished. It is my first candle after all.

5. Netflix:

It’s official, I have turned into a binge watcher. I’ve watched the first 2 season of 90210 in 2 weeks and I’m about to move on to Orange is the New Black. I’m also going to squeeze some Ugly Betty in there and, after being forced into it, I’m going to watch Breaking Bad. Netflix is the greatest yet most distracting thing ever invented. If it had every season of 90210 (aside from maybe season 4 as that was just awful) it would be perfect. You got that Netflix?

So there you have my May Favourites. Now if you don't mind I'm going to start another Netflix binge.
