May Favourites

May was filled with lots of studying, and the early mornings meant I leant on my favourite products to work their magic rather than changing it up for uni. I tended to go for wine shades or neutrals for the eyes and lips. Here is what I reached for most fin the cold month of May:
 *
Face of Australia Translucent Powder 
This stuff is seriously amazing, love it so much.
*
Essence Return to Paradise powder in Flamingo Pink 
a review of this is coming up, for now I will just swoon and tell you it pretty much owns my heart. Cute and cheap as chips!
*
NYX powder blush in Peach 
A pretty pink shade (not peach...) this is buildable and natural, my never fail shade.
*
Savvy lip crayon in Cafe 
This is wine-shaded goodness, have bought so many back-ups. A look is coming up in which I wear this, I'm also wearing it on the blog is the 'About Me' section <<
*
 Clinique Chubby Stick in Whole Lotta Honey 
I'm sure you've all read reviews, these new releases are gorgeous and I won this colour from Clinique on Twitter. Not a shade I would've chosen myself, and wouldn't you know it's perfect for me!
*
Bvlgari Rose Essentielle EDT
A simple, everyday fragrance that lets me indulge in my love of anything rose-scented.
*
MAC Eyeshadow in French Cuff
I've been loving wine shade on lips and eyes, and this fits the bill completely.
*
MAC eyeshadow in Retrospeck
I am planning on buying this in pan form soon, but for now I am using it out of the Holiday palette I purchased from Stef's blog sale. It's my two second lift, I literally just sweep it over my eyes and voila! I'm complete.
I have marked Retrospeck to show you the shade, which is housed in the MAC Holiday palette
I hope you have enjoyed taking a peek into my favourites for the month of May, just as much as I enjoyed using them all! emmabovary xx

  1. I do love a well-loved eyeshadow palette :) Thanks for the post! I'm always looking for ways to add radiance when I've been studying a lot. Thank goodness for makeup!

  2. It's always the random, least-researched palettes that I fall in love with. I adore this one, such a stunner. And I agree, I need as much radiance as I can get. Next find will hopefully be a great illuminator!

  3. What type of brush do you use to apply the FOA translucent powder? I rarely use loose powder as I seem to make such a mess!

  4. julesmond-I use a big fluffy brush to dust it over my face, the container has a sifter at the top and I tip the whole thing over once and that amount of powder lasts me ages, you just have to dip your brush lightly in it so you don't overload it. I'm yet to make a mess,touch wood!

  5. I've heard a lot of good things about the Nyx brand but haven't purchased anything from them...have you tried their eyeshadows? :)

  6. Melissa-I own a palette and two single shades, but I'm yet to put them past the actual wearing test.. I've played around with them a bit, gorgeous colours, but I will use them more and let you know x
