May Favourites 2016

Hi everyone!

I haven't been posting much lately because I've been gearing up to go to Japan in a few days, so I thought before I left I would put up my May Favourites! May went so fast, one minute it was my birthday, the next I was in Melbourne with my boyfriend (and he got his first tattoo!) and now it's June and I'm about to leave! So scary how fast this year is going. Anyway, let's jump into my favourites.

1. Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Lolita II

I'd never tried any Kat Von D products, but I added this last minute to my Sephora basket, and I love this colour. I like that the applicator is quite small so it's easy to apply, it does get a little dry eventually but it's not too bad, and it seriously does last. I wore this a few times on my trip and it lasted pretty much all day, and I'm in love and so impressed. At some point I'll grab some more colours, but I find this browny mauve shade goes with a lot of eye looks I wear and outfits.

2. Kat Von D Lock-It Foundation

I looked at a few reviews on this online both on youtube and blogs, and a lot of people said it's heavy duty stuff. I like that about it though, it doesn't feel that heavy on my skin, and I find it really covers up my acne scarring which I'm self conscious about. I got the shade Light 42 which is the fairest colour, and it is a little too light for me, which is something I can say I've never experienced, but once I add bronzer and blush it's not a bad match. It lasted really well throughout the day too. I'm taking this to Japan because I'm hoping it's not going to just come off my skin in the heat. Also, may I add, I wish Kat Von D was my friend, she is so cool, and some of her products are named after my favourite authors etc. She's amazing.

3. OFRA x Manny MUA Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick in Charmed

I absolutely adore Manny, I think he's hilarious, sweet and talented so of course I wanted to grab one of these. I chose Charmed because I felt like I would wear it the most, and I definitely have worn the crap out of this product. I like the formula a tiny bit more than the Kat Von D liquid lipstick, because it's more moussey, moisturising and it smells like cake or something delicious. This product also lasts a really long time and is easy to apply. I think Manny has done an amazing job. I just bought his collaboration palette with Makeup Geek, so I'm excited to show it to you guys.

4.Colourpop Kaepop Super Shock Shadow in Sunset Blvd

I splashed out for my birthday and got a bunch of Colourpop stuff, and I'm so impressed with the formula for eyeshadow and cheek products. This colour is in collaboration with Karrueche, and it's stunning. I've seen a few photos online and it looks lighter online than in person, it is a bit sheer too, but it's not a bad thing.  It's a really pretty bronzey gold, and I wore this on my birthday and it added some fun to my eye look. I love how buttery it is, very impressed! 

5. Colourpop Super Shock Cheek in Lunch Money

This is another super buttery Colourpop product, and it's so gorgeous. It creates an amazing sheen on my cheeks, and I just apply it with my finger because I find that it's easiest to blend that way. I did try it as an eyeshadow by applying with a brush and it weirdly didn't work and was patchy, but was amazing on my cheeks, nose and cupids bow. I would recommend giving the Colourpop cheek and eye products a try if you have the money to spend (cough cough.. waste) on the extortionate shipping cost. There are so many shades to choose from.

So there you guys go! Hope you have a wonderful May and you have a happy June!

Au Revoir!
