Few of my favourite things - May 2014

These are some of my favourite beauty items from last month and by the look of it I'm really drawn to bright lip and nail colours.

First up we have Prada Infusion D'Iris perfume which is my go to spring/summer perfume. I love it's fresh and crisp smell and the minimalistic packaging. I'm always on the look out for the perfect bra and this beauty from Ultimo has great support and lift.

This trio still helps keeping break-outs at bay and the originis super spot remover is by far the best spot remover I've tried (and trust me I tried a lot). As soon as I feel a break out coming on I apply this serum on clean skin and within a day everything has calmed down or has even disappeared.

 

The secret why this Le Teint Touche Éclat foundation is working so well for my combination skin is the fact that it doesn't contain opaque powders. Instead YSL uses a soft focuse gel which is not masking the skin but rather balancing it out and you don't have to worry about looking all cakey. I like to apply it with my Real Techniques face brush.

I've been applying this creme blush to my cheeks everyday for the last month. It's a fresh rose-pink colour and gives a healty flush of colour to my face. A tiny bit goes a long way and love applying it with a Real Techniques stippling brush to my cheeks. 

As I never wear much on my eyes I like wearing a bright lip and these YSL Rouge Volupte Lipstick are as good as everyone claims they are. I went for No 5, which is a bright pink. A great alternative are the L'oreal L'Extraordinaire Liquid Lipsticks, which are even more creamy (I got No 201).  

Nail polish wise I switched between Dior's Plaza and Chanel's Tapage which to me are the perfect pink and red shades and last a good week.
