May 2014 Favourites!

It's time for my May Favourites! I've got some real crackers to share with you this month, and no repeated products from the last couple of months either. I felt like I discovered and re-discovered some new things over May.

 

Simple Vital Vitamin Day Cream (review)

 

I have been trying to use up my old tub of this Day Cream for a while, and by the time I finished it I realised how much I like it. So much so that I went out and got another one and i've been loving it a lot this month. I have been having a mad eczema flare up over May and still suffering now and this Simple cream, as well as the second one have been helping somewhat and are what I turn to when other things are making me react at the moment. A gorgeous light moisturiser for day time.
 

Simple Vital Vitamin Night Cream (review)

 

Linking on from the Day Cream, I have also been using the Simple Night Cream at night time. It is thicker than the Day Cream as you would expect, but it soaks in quickly and in the morning my skin isn't dry at all. My first ever night cream that i've tried and i'm loving it.

 

Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick Shade '16' (review)

 

I've been going through a bit of a coral pink lipstick phase at the moment. And I realised I have a lot of lipsticks that are a similar colour, and I felt I had been neglecting this one a lot since I got it, which is a shame as it is a gorgeous colour! Perfect pink coral colour, very moisturising and lasts ages on the lips. Also cheap as chips to buy too. I've been wearing it a lot in May, and will continue to for the rest of the summer.

Sleek 'Rose Gold' Blush (review)

Oh man how I adore this blush! It is still one of my ultimate favourites in my makeup collection. I've not reached for it at all over the autumn and winter months but as the seasons are now changing, i'm using this a lot once again. A dupe for Nars Orgasm aswell, for anyone who didn't know and want a cheaper alternative.

Nails Inc 'Mayfair Lane' Gel Effect Nail Polish (review)

If you saw my review of this nail polish (along with the other 4 that came in the set) you will know how much I love them. And this colour in particular has been my favourite over the month, i've worn it the most out of them all. It's a gorgeous white based baby pink, almost like Essie Figi I would say. I love Nails Inc nail polishes in general, but the Gel Effect ones are even better, even if they are a bit on the expensive side.

 

 

Random Favourites

 

 

Yankee Candle Sun and Sand

 

Since I finished my Yankee Candle White Chocolate Bunnies Large Jar candle over Easter time, I decided to burn my Yankee Candle Medium Pillar candle in Sun and Sand, which is a lovely fresh, citrus sort of sun cream smell. Just gorgeous! As you can see I completely used it all up in May. Sadly it is now a discontinued scent, I was just lucky enough to pick it up at a Yankee Candle outlet shop in the discount section.

 

 

TV Show - 2 Broke Girls

 

 I watched this when it first premiered on E4, and kind of just went off it for some reason. But I watched a few episodes one night and got hooked back on it again. So much so that I watched all three seasons back to back in the space of about two weeks, I was hooked! Love the show and technically it could have been classed as an April favourite as I watched half of them in the last week of April, but I had enough favourites there so I thought i'd put it in this one.

Simple Day Cream

Simple Kind to Skin Vital Vitamin Day Cream - £5.60

 

I think I remember buying this quite a long time ago as part of a 3 for 2 offer that Boots were offering in Superdrug or Boots at one time or another, you know you have those products that you buy just to get the offer then just chuck them in your stash of beauty products and forget about them? Well that's the case with this product.

 

I don't know why I neglected this product for so long as I am a big fan of Simple products, they were the only skin products I would use for my eczema for a long time until I discovered other things, and their Simple Wipes were my favourite for many years until I grew out of that phase of using wipes.

 

I am now about halfway through this tub of moisturiser and I can honestly say I wish I had started using it sooner.

 

 

It is labelled as a Day Cream so it is a very thin and light cream, it's almost like it's been whipped or something it is so smooth and has the distinct Simple smell to it, not that is has any fragrance in it at all of course with it being a Simple product.

 

I use this on my face, on areas that aren't my eczema as it makes my eczema flare up if I use this cream on it, but it works great for the rest of my normal to dry skin on the rest of my face. I have even used this on dry patches like my elbows and on the rare occassions on my feet and it works great. It sinks in nice and quickly and my face feels and looks much more healthy and moisturised.

 

Since i've bought this cream they seem to have added sun protection into it, which I think is a great addition especially for the summer. I will definitely be picking up another one of these tubs of this day cream when this runs out, especially for the summer too.

 

If you have normal or dry skin I think this moisturiser will work great for you, if you have very dry skin I don't think the cream is thick enough to do the job. Maybe the Simple Rich Moisturiser would suit better.
