May favourites

Hey everyone,

It's that time of the month again, favourites time! I thought I was going to struggle with this but once I started looking for things I found it so easy. So without further a do here are my May favourites. 

First of all is my L'Occitane apricot flower 95% shea butter - 30ml. I've had a squiz on the L'Occitane website and they only seem to be selling the orange and honey scent. It retails at £10. It can be used according to the packaging on face, lips, hair and body. I put this on my lips at night and it is still there in the morning having moisturised my lips like no other. However I won't be repurchasing because I do not like the smell of pure honey so I wouldn't be able to stomach the other scented version of this. I might buy the 100% shea butter pot instead though. 

Next is my Body Shop coconut shimmer body lotion - 250ml for £8. I loved this is the sunny 2 weeks we had to add a light shimmer to my skin. It states on the packaging that this is for normal/dry skin and I definitely wouldn't recommend this for sensitive skinned people as I got a slight burn when I put this on for the first few seconds. Nevertheless I love this and no doubt I'll be wearing this all thorough the summer (if we get one in england!). 

Real Techniques stippling brush - £11.99. I LOVE this brush! It applies my foundation like no other and I use less product when using this brush. I was sceptical about the size of the brush as I'm used to big stippling brushes but I can safely say I like it even better then any other sized brush. 

Next is my Body shop honey and oat 3-in-1 scrub mask for normal/dry skin. I've always had trouble with face masks breaking me out but I've had no trouble with this one. I got a sample of this from my local Body Shop before buying the big size just to test in on my skin. I loved it from first use and bought the full size when my sample was all gone. Don't let the word scrub in the name put you off as it doesn't scrub but it does VERY gently exfoliate. The only downside to this is the price. It's £9 for 100ml which pains me but I got mine on offer. I would recommend waiting for an offer because they do have them alot and it's miles better value. 

I've never been a fan of watches. I love the idea of not having to get your phone out of your handbag every 10 minutes but I just couldn't stand the feeling of having something tight around my wrist. Cue my Next black rubber watch. It's really thin and because it's made of rubber I barely notice it's there. I take it off when I shower and go to bed but other then that I haven't taken it off all month. It comes in white and black but I thought the white one would get dirty really easily. My favourite thing about this is the glittery background of the watch face which makes it very feminine. I also can not fault the price either, £7.50! BARGAIN!

Allow me to introduce my favourite perfume of the year - The Body Shop White musk sun glow limited edition eau de toilette. It is described on the box as having a blend of "peony, soft peach notes and a shot of zesty lemon". I can't really say much more then that other then it lasts brilliantly on the skin and for 60ml at £15 is fantastic value! 

Last but certainly not least is the Bourjois magic nail polish remover. I'm planning on doing a full review on this soon which is why I haven't included any pictures of its removable powers! Let's just say it is truly magic and certainly worth £4.99 which seems expensive for a nail polish remover but it is definitely worth it. 

I know my blog is quite Body Shop heavy but I strongly believe in the no testing on animals policy that they have and support them fully. 

Now for a few personal favourites! My favourite song of the month is Florence and the machine - shake it out. My favourite TV programme of the month has to be Game of Thrones without a doubt (needless to say I can't wait for the final on monday!). 

See you for the next post,

Sophie <3
