My May favourites! In the month of May I have been loving the products below - as you can see I've been loving coral.

1. The first product is the Ecotools blush brush from Priceline for $14.44 AUD. I've been looking for a good blush brush for a very long time now and up until now had not found something i'd LOVED. This brush isn't too soft or fluffy and I find it deposits the perfect amount of product onto my skin.

2. The second product is Benefit's long wear powder eyeshadow in 'It's complicated' for $20 USD. This eyeshadow is a beautiful peach colour with a gold sheen, it is a light colour perfect to wear during the day and evening. I love how it instantly brightens the eyes. I haven't noticed if it lasts longer than other 'non' long wear eyeshadows but will have to test it sometime in the future. I think one of the reasons I have reached for it so much this month is because I have been loving the 'fresh' faced look and I find this eyeshadow definitely helps me achieve it.

3. The third product is Benefit's box powder blush in 'Coralista' for $28 USD. I've had this blush since March now and found myself constantly reaching for it this month. Described as a pinky-coral with subtle sheen it gives your face a lovely glow although I prefer to wear it during the day because of the sheen it gives. 

4. The fourth product is MAC's prep + prime base visage. I've had this primer for such a long time...possibly a year. When I first purchased this product I didn't like it, I could never notice if it made my make up last longer and I just felt it was an unecassary step. For the past few months now I have been using Benefit's porefessional until just recently when I realised my skin hasn't been as oily as usual. So I decided to give this primer a go again and have fallen in love! I find that it really moisturises my skin but not to the extent that my face ends up being oily and I look like a disco ball. 

5. Onto the eyes...my fifth product is Tarte's emphasEYES inner rim brightener in 'Nude soft-beige'. Before this I would use a white eye pencil to line my inner rim and my mum would always comment on how unatural it looked, i'm not going to say I didn't agree but I liked how it brightened my eyes and made them look slightly bigger. After doing a bit of research online I started to see beige coloured inner rim liners that promised to give a more 'natural' look. This is what prompted me to purchase this particular product. Since purchasing I have worn it almost every day even in the evening. It is creamy and glides on so easily without feeling like i'm scratching my eye. I don't think it's longelivity is great as I do notice it fades throughout the day but this isn't a major problem for me as I knew it wasn't waterproof prior to purchasing.

6. Last but not least my mini Tarte mascara Lights, Camera, Lashes in black. I watch Shaaanxo on youtube and have heard her rave about this product for a very long time. When I saw Tarte was selling this product in a mini version with a limited edition eyelash curler for $16 USD I thought it was the perfect opportunity to give it a try. Needless to say I quickly fell in love with the natural volume and length this mascara delivered. Prior to using this product I thought I preferred the 'spider lash' look but not anymore. This mascara makes lashes look full and feathery. So beautifully natural I have now purchased the full size ($19 USD) and am happy to announce this is my holy grail mascara.
