Hey Guys! O My Gosh!! I cannot believe that another month is over and we are heading into the middle of the year already! I am looking forward to summer evenings and better weather! Well May was the month that I became 26! I'm on the way to 30 and that is scary! This month I have a lot of favourites so I am going to jump straight in and let you guys know what I have been loving and also what didn't work for me. Favourites First on my favourites should come as no surprise! Clinique's Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm. 125 ml for £23. The price point for the amount of product you get it is amazing. I have used this to remove my make up every time I have worn make up, it melts it off which such ease! It is kinder to my skin, it leaves it cleansed, hydrated and so smooth. This product is a full 10/10 for me. I absolute love it and can't recommend it enough. Check out my full review here. Next up we have a product from one of my favourite brands - Anatomicals! I have been using their cruisin' for a snoozin' sleep balm for a few months, I purchased it from Superdrug for £2.49 for 20g and it has lasted ages! I have real trouble with sleeping because of illness and medication. This isn't a miracle worker where it makes you magically fall asleep but it does relax you. It has a gentle scent of lavender which is known for relaxing. I just gently rub the balm into my temples and other pulse points, in small circular movements. The next product isn't strictly make up but it is make up related! The Real Techniques Brush Cleanser. This brush shampoo is hands down the best I have ever tried! The gel is easy to work with and a little goes a long way, It cleans even the densest of brushes, it takes no time to work in and clean away all make up, My brushes feel so soft, the product doesn't dry them out and the fragrance is a gentle aroma and really does leave them smelling and looking brand new! I purchased this from Superdrug for £7.49 for 150 ml of product, because you don't need a lot it is going to go a long way! Next we have Tarte's Rainforest Of The Sea Skin Twinkle Lighting Palette Vol 2 purchased from QVC at L32.50, I was lucky enough to receive this as one of my birthday presents from my amazing other half. ( He's fairly good at listening to my hints!) This palette is absolutely gorgeous. It has 4 beautiful highlighters incased in gorgeous packaging. The formula is so buttery and full of pigment. You can really get a blinding glow, that you can customize by dipping into all shades. I have a full review on this product, click here to view. May must be the month for highlighters because the next product is Jouer's limited edition Skinny Dip powder highlighter bought from Cultbeauty at £19 for 4.5g of product. This product is absolutely beautiful. I love the formula and how you can really build this product up to be absolutely blinding. I love the peachy gold tone that this product gives you. The packaging for this product was amazing, I loved the holographic print on the front of the outer packaging. For my full review click here, My last favourite is another birthday present again from my other half. The GHD Aura hairdryer for £145. My last hairdryer blew up after 4 years of solid use. I was in desperate need of a new hairdryer and this one was an upgrade from my last model. This hairdryer is so powerful and dries my long hair so quickly. The new motor in this hairdryer is so quiet you can barely here it. The hairdryer is lightweight and has a 4m cord so perfect for using anywhere in the bedroom. This model gives you such better control of the air flow and allows you to style your hair while drying. My hair has less static with this hairdryer and I just love how quickly my hair dries. If your after a new hairdryer then definitely check the GHD website out because they are brilliant hairdryers! Fails So unfortunately not all products that I purchase work for me, that doesn't mean they wont work for you but they're just ones I wouldn't recommend. First fail of the month is Barry M Illuminating Highlighter Palette which I purchased from Superdrug for £6.49, This palette is so chalky, as soon as you run your brush against the product all of the powder blows up and goes everywhere. When applied to the check it just looks like you have white powder or pink powder. There is no glow what so ever. It is a really disappointing product, it doesn't illuminate or highlight and it creates such a mess! My last fail is a product from Holland & Barrett called Ecodental Extra Black Whitening Toothpaste for £4,49. Charcoal is an active ingredient in this toothpaste so not only is this meant to clean your teeth, remove plaque and everything normal toothpastes do but it's meant to help to whiten your teeth, Now my teeth are fairly white anyway as I have always looked after them, But I see no difference from when I started 6 weeks ago! I still have some left so I will continue use to take an after photo and see it there will be any difference, I will keep you updated on social media! This toothpaste does make my teeth feel clean but no more than any normal tooth paste. It also leaves an awful taste in my mouth! That's all for this months favourites and fails. I hope you've enjoyed seeing the products I am loving and those that didn't work for me.

GHD Straighteners are amazing. You only need to go down your hair once at a medium speed and it falls perfectly straight x
