May Favourites

Sephora waterproof eye makeup remover
I bought this when i was in Paris in March and this month I started using it and this is mainly because I have been using the Urban Decay waterproof eyeliners, which have also made it into my monthly favourites. This eye makeup remover makes it so very easy to remove your eye makeup and feels gentle on my eyes. You just shake it and the blue liquid mixes with the clear and its ready to use.

Urban 24/7 glide-on eye pencils
I have two of these eyeliners, one in the colour junkie and the other in pervision. I have loved using these this month, because they really do glide on and then they stay put all day. I have enjoyed using the turquoise shade, as its something I wouldn't usually experiment with for daily use, but i find it brightens up the eye area instantly. Junkie has a two tone effect, which makes it really interesting and it can be applied to the bottom lashes with no other eyeliners needed on top for an easy to wear look.

Tresemme heat defence styling spray
I needed to purchase a new heat protectant, as my GHD one had come to an end. I love the smell of this and I think it's good value for the money at £3.50.I prefer the spray nozzle on the GHD protector but this still has a good range. I use this even when I want to give some life to my curls and not even use any heat styling products.

Tea tree cleanser and toner
This has made it into my monthly favourites because its great to use when you feel like you might be getting bad skin or if you are going away, because it less to carry. All in one bottle, cleanser and toner, its so simple yet effective. It smells refreshing and leaves my skin feeling very clean and fresh but not striped back and tight, like I have experienced with other two in one toners and cleansers. If i feel a spot may be coming through i use this and it always stops spots from appearing. 
Tea tree and witch hazel cleansing and toning lotion from Boots. (http://www.boots.com/en/Boots-Tea-Tree-Witch-Hazel-Cleansing-Toning-Lotion-150ml_1213606/) Price £3.59

Urban Decay Naked Skin Foundation
I got this as a sample but its enough for at least two weeks of applications. I found the colour match very accurate and the finish appears very natural. I like the way it applies and it's easily buildable, depending on what coverage you want. I generally need more coverage on my cheeks because they go slightly red and sometimes I only like to apply foundation here, so its important it is a good match to my skin. I wasn't expecting it to be as good as what it was, so I was happily surprised by its finish and colour. I would definitely consider buying the full size of this, exceptit is £27 and I find my skin colour changes frequently because I tan very easily and wouldn't make full use of it.
