May favourites 2012 !!!!

I haven't loved too many new things this month but there are a few little gems that I want to share with you. Here is an overview of the products.


St Moriz
Firstly I have been loving my St moriz to give me a lovely summers glow. If you want to see a full review then click here.Getting ready for summer!!!
Garnier BB cream
Now when the Garnier BB cream first came out there was a lot of hype about it. So I went and picked it up and tried it and I must say I hated it and I still do (on it's own). Now you're probably thinking well why then did you put it in you're monthly favourites. Well, because I have been fake tanning I have been a little bit darker and I didn't have a foundation that matched. So I mixed my foundation with this and I works wonderfully. So I wouldn't say go out and buy this but if you have it and want a use for it, then if it is a natural or fake tan then you can make you foundation the right shade for you.
Batiste dry shampoo
I absolutely love batiste dry shampoo's and recently I picked up the coconut and exotic one. It works exactly the same as every other Batiste dry shampoo but the reason why this is my favourite is because it smells amazing.
Chanel vitalumiere aqua
I won't say too much about my Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua foundation because I am still loving it and if you want to see a full review then just click here Chanel vitalumiere aqua review
elf twinkle nail polish
I have just posted a blog post of Barry M's 309 with this elf nail polish in twinkle and it reminded me of how much I love sparkly nail varnish, this one especially.
Marc Jacobs daisy
I love Marc Jacobs daisy perfume but because I fell in love with the Boots Natural Collection body sprays. I kind of forgot about it. But I have fallen in love again.
Accesorize eyeshadow
This is the only Accesorize eyeshadow I have but I will definitely be buying more.Mine is in shade 7 golden caramel. This one is just a lovely shimmery everyday natural, sweep over the lid kind of colour. LOVE IT.


Maybelline color sensational lip tint
Then finally sometimes this month I just haven't been in the mood for lipgloss or lipstick. Then I found my Maybeline color sensational lip pen in 105 Tender rose. It is very pretty and it lasts for ages.

So these are my may favourites I hope you liked it. Hopefully the sun will stay a little longer for June.

Chanel vitalumiere aqua foundation review

I am always on the hunt for the perfect foundation. The foundation that will look natural, glowing, good coverage, good colour match and won't break me out. So after reading many mixed review, I finally splurged and bought the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua foundation for £31. My shade is B10 which is the lightest shade (as always.)


The bottle does look quite small compared to the average foundation bottle but I checked and it is 30ml like most foundations.The bottle is plastic which in my opinion is great because it means that I won't have to worry if I accidentally drop it.Even though a glass bottle does have that expensive feeling about it.




I have dry to normal skin and the foundation is great because it doesn't stick to any dry patches and make them more noticeable. I would say though that if you have oily skin you will have to set it with a powder or setting spray to make sure it lasts as long as you want it to. I don't use powder often but when I do I use Rimmel Stay Matte Powder. The staying power lasts for about 7 hours on me looking perfect but I can get away with 8 and that is without a powder or setting spray (with a primer.)


The consistency is very light and easy to blend. Chanel advertises it as a second skin effect, now if I had clearer skin I think i might even agree.Which brings me onto my other point, the coverage is light to medium coverage and it is buildable. But really after paying £31 I don't want to waste the product by building up the coverage. But this is a very nice everyday foundation, but if you have any blemishes I would say that you will probably need to use your concealer to fully cover the blemishes.

So basically the foundation is a great everyday foundation with spf 15 and it is my favourite foundation at the moment. But if you like a full coverage foundation and don't like feeling like your not wearing any makeup. Then I wouldn't really recommend this to you. But if you are looking for a light coverage foundation, that looks natural, that gives you a nice healthy glow and that covers minor imperfections then this is definitely the foundation for you. So I am still in search for that  perfect foundation but this just missed the mark. If only the coverage was a little higher then it would in my opinion be the perfect foundation.
