May Favourites

Hi guys! Welcome to my second ever monthly favourites post - if you didn't catch my April favourites you can read it HERE.

First up are Barry M Gelly Hi Shine in Papaya - a beautiful orange shade that's all over the blogsophere, and the Maybelline Color Show Polka Dots in black and white. I only bought the Maybelline top coat a couple of weeks ago but I love it already, it creates such a special and unique look!

My fashion favourite for the month is this monochrome 3/4 sleeve blazer, which I bought from New Look a couple of months ago and posted about HERE. It's a really easy jacket to throw on and keep off a chill on those colder Spring days (of which we've had a few!)

My go-to lipstick throughout may has been this Gosh Velvet Touch one in Exotic. It was part of my combined haul which I posted about HERE, and I will be posting a full review soon. It's a perfect orange Spring shade and so easy to wear without drying out the lips!

My Primark watercolour sunglasses have only been needed in the past week or so but qualify for my May favourites simply because I love them. They are so pretty and perfect for sunny days and picnicking in the park! I posted about them in a haul HERE.

Jewellery-wise I have been wearing this little whale pendant a lot - it's a subtle but quirky way to add personality to any outfit, including work wear! If you didn't read my post about it, this was part of my first haul from Cheap Frills (HERE).

Finally, a skincare favourite. I had never used micellar water until I picked up this one from the B. range at Superdrug (post HERE). It's really changed the way I remove my make up on an evening, and I can already see the difference in my skin! I know there are plenty of other drugstore brands offering micellar water, but B. is the only one I am aware of that is guaranteed cruelty free.

What do you think of my May favourites? Which is your 'favourite' of my picks?

Mini Primark Spring Haul

I popped into the Stratford City Primark with my sister when she came to visit a couple of weekends ago. Somehow she always manages to visit at this time of year and without fail we always shop and spend quite substantial amounts of money - it's becoming something of an annual tradition! Although I'm not going on holiday this year, I did pick up a few pretty Spring/Summer buys from Primark that I hope you'll like!

This green & yellow striped dress was something I spotted in the TCR Primark and lusted after, but unfortunately they didn't have my size. I was hoping that they'd have it at Stratford City and literally ran to grab one as soon as I saw it! I think it's a beautiful shape, really well made and something just a little bit different to the average summer dress you often find in Primark. It was a touch pricey (for Primark!) at £15 but I would have paid £15 for it at any other high street shop as it's so gorge!

These huge round sunnies were such a bargain at £2! I used to buy a new pair of Primark sunglasses each summer but I think in the past couple of years the standards have slipped... but I always check out the new stock when it comes in! I tried these on (along with a million other pairs - me and my sister can't be the only sillies who do that for fun?!) and it was instant love. The watercolour frames are cute but not OTT and I will be popping these on as soon as the weather picks up.

Finally (and least interestingly) these cute grey frill top socks! These were only a pound or two but I think it's worth sharing them as Topshop sell the same thing but for double the price. Make sure you don't get ripped off and pick the cheap ones up from Primark!

Have you bought anything for Spring lately? What did you get?
