My belated May favourites...

Hi lovelies!
Another monthly favourites post for you today...

Enjoy!


Elf eyeshadow palette in Brownstone: the darkest shade of this quad is a soft black that actually blends into a nice black/brown colour. I only use it to smudge my black kohl pencil to a kitten flick, so I have no issues with creasing. I do prefer this colour over the rest of matte black eyeshadows I own that blend into purple or blue hues...
Needless to say, I don't bother with the rest of the shades- they're terrible!

TBS bronze Shimmer Waves: since I rediscovered this compact, I fell in love with it all over again! I'm telling you, a generous swipe of this on your cheeks and you have an instant bronzer+contour+highlighter effect with minimum effort!

Biotherm liquid eyeshadow: this is an old an discontinued golden eyeshadow that I wore daily during past month; I'm hoping I'll finish this little tube in 2-3 months' time- cause I hate keeping old make-up in my collection as much as I hate throwing away unused products...

Erre Due nail colour: this was part of the brand's summer 2010 collection; as I desperately wanted a fun nail colour to clash with my new watermelon pink pants (!), this dark mint shade served me well for that purpose ;)

Korres lip butter stick in Peach: I won't go on and on about how much I looove the Korres lip butters... This one is a repurchase!

TBS Metallic eye pencil in Brilliant Blue: so this product won't show in my waterline on its own... But it looks gorgeous under my eye shimmers or even smudged on my lashes!

What were your May favourites?
Do share!

  2. i've been flirting with the Shimmer waves for some months now. would you say they are glittery?

    my May favourites were the radiant eyeshadow base (awesome....) and a spotaneous buy, a max factor duo eyeshadow "mystic moon" with a dark taupe grey and a lighter grey used as a base.

  9. @Blushingloves Irene Greece, oh I'm so glad you like it! I also love that each packaging has a different pattern ;)

    @evi, well it's not overly glittery, it can look ok even in daylight, IMO. Watch out for the summer 20% sales! That Radiant eyeshadow base is in my list of products to try out! After Painterly Paintpot by Mac, of course...

    @Demi, ha ha it seems I'm falling short of time to do my makeup lately, too! It must be the weather... That's it, I'm popping tomorrow at Mac to get me some Painterly!

    @λειντι ντι, oh great!!! You mean the new honey bronzer from the summer collection? What shade did they match you with? Up untill now, I only own the Moonstone, Jade and the silver/black duo from the baked eyeshadows. Which one did you get?

  10. πήρα το χάνι μπρόνζερ 01=φυσικό και διακριτικό χρωμα ιδανικό για νσ20 γιατί δεν ΄νομίζω να μαυρίσω αν και έχω και την τερακότα του γκυρλέν για πιο χαρντκορ καταστάσεις...επίσης πήρα moonstone kai sage. FANTASTIKES. χάρηκα πολύ

  11. @stella, ωωω η συσκευασία από τις bronzing πούδρες Guerlain είναι κάθε καλοκαίρι και πιο όμορφες! Ειδικά η φετινή!

    @afro, oh that's great!!! I feel exactly the same- I'm using tinted lipbalms instead of sheer lipsticks all the time!

  17. I love your picks, as usual!!!
    And I feel like we're on the same page when it comes to trying to actually finish some of our products (and trust me, anyone else doing this too knows that it's a task)!!!
    Ok, now I need to look for that TBS liner in my collection.. I remember it was nice to add some color on the lower lashline (but not much else really)!

  18. Aww thanks, doll!
    Mind you, this liner by TBS is so gorgeously vibrant and smooth, but it doesn't seem to apply pigment on the waterline :( I have to use a black kohl underneath for to show up!
