These Are A Few Of My Favourite Things... May '12

Good evening my beauts, I hope you're all well!

I know I'm a few days late to the party with my May favourites but I had such a busy Jubilee weekend I didn't have time to get the post up *slaps wrist.*

Here is what I was loving in the month of May '12...

1 - Nars Laguna | 2 - Origins A Perfect World | 3 - Bioderma Sensibo | 4 - Loreal Lumi Magique | 5 - Sure Maximum Protection | 6 - Loreal Rouge Caresse Lipstick | 7 - Clarins Liquid Bronze For Face & Decollete

Nars Laguna - With the warmer weather I've been adding a touch of bronzer to my make up & Laguna is perfect for giving a sun kissed glow.

Origins A Perfect World Moisturiser -  I got this when Origins were hosting their trade in day & I've used it every day since! It leaves my skin feeling lovely & it smells amazing. I'll certainly be purchasing this when I run out.

Bioderma Sensibo - I really don't need to say too much about this as it's all been said 1000 times! I love using this to remove my make up at night & to refresh my skin in the morning, I recently posted a full review of this so if you want to read more click here.

Loreal Lumi Magique - I was on the hunt for a new foundation that I could take away on holiday with me & I think I've found the one! This foundation provides medium coverage and leaves a beautiful dewy glow, i'll be posting a full review soon!

Sure Maximum Protection -  I've already talked about this product in great length here so I won't ramble on but this is my number one deodorant and it will certainly be coming away to Turkey with me! Click here to read my full review. 

Loreal Rouge Caresse Lipstick 'Dating Coral' - This is my perfect summer lipstick, a gorgeous coral shade with a balmy sheer finish. This is so easy to apply you don't even need a mirror so it's perfect for on the go touch ups. I've since picked up a couple of more shades from the range but this is still my favourite.

Clarins Liquid Bronze For Face & Decollete - I picked this up after Anna raved about it in a YT video & I've loved it ever since. I use it every few days and it leaves my skin looking tanned and glowing. Once again I will be posting a full review on this soon so keeps your eyes peeled!

Other than that I've just been loving the sunshine, celebrating the Diamond Jubilee & flat hunting with my boyfriend for our first pad together!

Lifting The Lid: Glossybox 1st Anniversary Edition...

Good evening my lovelies, It's finally Friday, Yay!!

May marks the first Anniversary of Glossybox and to celebrate this the May Glossybox is a special Anniversary edition.

I personally can't believe Glossybox has been around for a year, it feels like only yesterday I was ripping open my first box, How time flies!

 Here is what I received in this months Glossybox...

 How pretty is this tissue paper?! I managed to save it & will be using it to wrap a present in the future =]

My box contained:

♥ Noble Isle Summer Rising Bath & Shower Gel - I know these shower gels can come in handy for traveling purposes but I'm getting bored of receiving one every month. I haven't tried this particular shower gel yet but it smells really masculine to me, I might give it to my boyfriend for our holiday.

♥ Lolita Lempicka Perfume Samples - I know some people don't like receiving perfume samples but I personally don't mind them for slipping in my clutch on a night out. I probably wouldn't choose these perfumes myself or purchase the full sizes but they're not bad & I will use them.

♥ Weleda Face Cream & Body Milk - I haven't tried this yet so I can't say too much but I'm always happy to try new skincare and look forward to giving this a go. 

♥ Collection Lasting Colour Gel Liner - I was quite surprised to see this in my box & it was black, a colour I will actually use! I saw that a few people received the brown liner and I'm so glad I received the black. I'm a big gel liner fan & look forward to trying this out. 

♥ HD Brows Brow Beater - I was SO happy when I saw this! I missed out on the first HD brows product that came with a Glossybox last year and have never lived it down. I'm a big fan of filling in my brows and it's an important part of my daily routine so this product is right up my street. I tried it this morning & I really liked it. I don't want to say too much yet but I will be posting a full review soon. 

♥ Mirror & Balloon - With this being the Anniversary edition Glossybox included a mirror & balloon as bonus products. I'm really happy with the mirror, it's doubled sided with one side being a magnified mirror and it will be perfect for slipping in my handbag. The balloon was a really sweet touch and my nephew has enjoyed playing with it =]

Overall this box wasn't bad. It's certainly not my favourite box and I probably won't use all of the products but the HD brows product certainly made up for it.

What are yours thoughts on this months box?
