Evening folks, it is once again the time for a monthly favourites, and although I've been horribly inconsistent on the blog this month, I do have a few favourites to talk about today!
False Nails
I have had hideously short nails since I was a little girl, and with the tendency to chew them when I'm preoccupied or nervous, I've never been able to grow them longer than the ends of my fingers. Couple this with the fact that long nails and a job waitressing don't tend to suit each other well (do you want to spend your evenings picking other people's food out from under your nails? I thought not.) and you have the reason why having falsies on hand is a blessing for me. I adore having long, elegantly painted nails, and the faff of putting them on/taking them off is nothing compared to how nice they look when they bring an outfit together. It's the little things!
L'Oreal Infallible Matte Foundation
This is the foundation I've been using for the past six weeks or so, and I've actually used up a whole tube of it. L'oreal's latest foundation offering is designed to last for ages and dry totally matte on your face, which it does- and manages to do so without looking cakey or picking up the dry skin on your face. This stuff is fairly mid-range for drug store in terms of pricing, at something like £9.99, and I often felt as though I was wasting loads by assuming I'd need more than I did. A great new offering and definitely something I'll look at repurchasing.
Una Brennan SuperFacialist Mask
My skin has very much not been behaving this month, and since I had a wedding a couple of weeks ago, and with prom coming up in the next fortnight too I needed something that would sort out my skin. I've spoken about this mask before on the blog which I'll link here, but it's pretty fabulous at clearing out your skin and removing any impurities. I do find I tend to breakout the day after using it but with regular usage it evens out and keeps my skin clear most of the time!
Mac Lipstick in 'All Fired Up'
The latest edition to my Mac lipstick collection, All Fired Up is a bright matte pink that is very very summery. It is definitely a bright pink, but it manages to not be totally girly or sickly looking. Mac lipsticks are my favourites and I adore how creamy the matte line is, despite staying on your lips for hours and hours. Another excellent purchase.
The Wombats
I have been absolutely obsessed with the Wombats this month, both their latest album, 'Glitterbug' and their first two albums. They've always been one of the bands that I appreciated but never really got into, but that all changed after I became entirely obsessed with Glitterbug. They're playing T in the Park in July and I cannot wait to see them!
The 100
This month's 'Shows Rachel is Marathon-ing' is The 100, the dystopian sci-fi show that is based about 100 years in the future on a space station, 'the Ark' outwith planet Earth's atmosphere, inhabited by the descendents of those who escaped the Earth when a radiation war made it uninhabitable. All crime in the Ark is punishable with death for adults, so only minors are imprisoned, therefore these 100 prisoners are the first to be sent to Earth to determine whether or not it is inhabitable after the Ark begins to run out of oxygen. Long story short, its exciting, both terrifying and hilarious in equal parts and despite having a fairly large cast, you really get to know the backstories of each character.
There we go, just a small favourites for the month but hey, least there's something! I promise I'll be better in terms of uploading this month, so I'll be back on Tuesday!
