My Monthly Favourites | May

I cant believe that the month of May just flew by! Omg time is something that never waits for anyone! So end of the month means....time to write down about my favourite products for May.



Beginning with Bioderma.. Now what can I say more about this wonderful product..it is so good that I had a previous blog post just about it! Its is so water like and so light that it is not harsh at all. It does not feel like Omg I am using so much of product on my face to remove my make up, because it is not oily at all like other make up removing products. Since I don't wear make up everyday, I still do use it in like daily basis like one a day to cleanse my face before applying the toner. It is definitely worth the hype and I love it!!



Bourjois Bronzing powder has been a massive hit among all beauty gurus and make up lovers...Its just that I never had the courage to pick one up and try! You see the thing with Asians..well I believe, we prefer to stay away from tanning, bronzing and spending hours under the sun! I don't know if its for everybody but it sure is for me! However living in London for more than 2 years has made me pale enough to think that maybe...a bronzer would help me get a healthy glow...and this bronzing powder exactly does that!



Now I have always hated the idea of using dry shampoos. I just couldn't deal with the fact that why not just get a shower rather than spend time using dry shampoos! But since I have had a fringe a dry shampoo has been necessity. Firstly I cannot wash my hair everyday as it is so thin and I do have quite a hair fall problem. and since getting genetically super fine hair, the fringe gets limp so fast. So the Batiste Dry Shampoo has become my friend in need! This does the trick! I get instant refreshed hair though I do get some white bits first most probably because I have dark hair, but which can be easily blended. The smell is also quite refreshing however, its starts smelling like coconut oil later on which I am not much fan of!



Now believe it or not but this is my first make up product from TOPSHOP. It is the Topshop Glow, which is a bronzy golden highlighter. It is very creamy and comes in a tiny glass pot. It is very pigmented and thus a little is enough to highlight parts of the face like cheek bones, nose area or under the eyebrows. I got it in the shade Polished, but I do think that they have it in another shade as well!



Where do I even begin with Lush's Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter ! Omg this product is soooooooo good! When I went to Lush asking for a hand cream, I ended up not liking any of their hand cream products until this one grabbed my attention! Though it says cuticle, I use it for my hands ad even my lips! As the name suggests it is so citrus-y that I just love it! Honestly if you are a fan of the Soap & Glory lime body wash then you can imagine this as the solid cream! Its is just fabulous! Its think and leaves my hands feeling soft and nourished!!



The compact powder from Body Shop has been so useful all this month because as the temperature is rising this is just perfect to hide away all the oily bits on my face! I really like the packaging and it really blends well! I carry it all the time and when I dont have any makeup on, I just dab this on and  I am good to go! I have it in the shade 06.



Now who does not like fruity, citrus-y smells right! In summer they are just perfect! Now Body Shop's Body Mists are to die for! They are so good that I always have to have one in my handbag, especially the Strawberry one, and if you are not fan of strawberries then there is always another option for you...! They come in different flavours/ scents and a little spritz is enough to refresh your senses and give you the perfect scent for summer!


I know that everybody loves Primark, including me, and why wouldn't we right! They have things that one can buy so cheap and still use it in everyday routine! Like for me, their headband is just perfect to protect my fringe from getting wet or to avoid any creams and make up! Its is like I think £1.50-£3.00, which is like next to nothing! Its from their Love to Lounge section! It is so useful, big and chunky enough to hold my hair. Its pink as well... which  I think every girl needs to have one!


Have I told you guys that I love love love lipsticks?? Well if I haven't then let me tell it one more time..I love lipsticks! And this month its Revlon's Fire and Ice! The name it self suggest some sultry gorgeous red right! Well it is! This one however is an orange or yellow tone based which I believe suits more like brown skin tones like mine! But if you are looking to try some red lipstick then do give this one a try since its rich pigmented and very moisturising!




Last but not the least how can I not mention my favourite moisturiser from Origins.If you don't know it yet then let me tell you that it is the Origins Make a Difference+ Rejuvenating Moisturiser. This just absolutely fabulous. I have done a previous blog post on it but I will day it again this is the best moisturiser ever and I just love it. It is so hydrating that I don't have any dry patches any more and the smell...its just brilliant. Its light and smells like peaches and fruits that just brings a big smile on my face!


I just enjoys using all the products mentioned above and I have tried my best to give my honest opinion about them. I do highly recommend each one of them and I hope you guys give them a try as well!

Well what are you favourites for May??
