So apparently it’s June *stares as sheets of rain hurtle past the window and I realise I’m wearing a knitted jumper and fluffy socks*… But start of a new month can only mean one thing – it’s time for May 2016 monthly favourites! There are some old favourites and some new discoveries in here so let’s get cracking.
This month is Superdrug’s Health and Beauty Card’s 5th birthday and to celebrate they have put on some incredible offers for card holders. They challenged me to find the best deals to show you so here is my Superdrug Revlon haul!
February has been a bit of a strange month. I’ve not really bought many new products so I’ve been rediscovering some old favourites so this favourites instalment is a bit of a mixture. I hope you enjoy having a nosey into my most loved products from the past month…
Another month has rattled past with alarming speed. We are now a month into 2016. I don’t even know what to say about this. So let’s just get going into the January 2016 monthly beauty and lifestyle favourites, shall we?
This is a new favourite product of mine: a truly matte lip product that doesn’t dry out my lips.
You paint this on like a lip gloss with the sponge doe-foot applicator. The colour is ridiculously pigmented and opaque in one coat. The applicator is a little tricky to use, just because it is so pigmented so any mistakes or wobbly lines show up and you do need to be precise with this because it dries quickly and really does stay put!
When you first apply it is glossy and shiny and then before your eyes it dries to the most amazing matte finish. A PROPER matte finish. And it has great longevity – I wouldn’t say it’d last all day, but the first time I used this I applied it on the way to a work party at about 4pm. The drinks were free so this product was really put to the drinks test and it Did. Not. Budge. To the point where on the tube home at midnight I was scrubbing it off my lips with a wet wipe!
The Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipsticks contain Vitamin E and avocado oil so they don’t dry out your lips which can be a downside of matte lip products. As with anything matte, I would recommend exfoliating your lips before application as this will show up flakes like a mofo.
I am definitely going to get some of the other colours from this range as this is LOVE.
You can buy this range HERE.
