May Favorites





Well June is already here, finally!!!! Because May wasn't a particular warm month here and that was strange, because every year May is really warm. Anyway these are some of the products I really enjoyed using this month:




For make up items, two of the eyeshadows that I used a lot this month and not only this month but they're generally my favourites eyeshadows are Mac Arena and Time & Space, Arena is a satin light peachy shade great for all over the lids and Time & Space is a medium bronze brown shade, it was realeased with Neo Sci Fi collection back in 2008 but is very similar to Woodwinked from the regular line.

Mac Springsheen is a blush that I used a lot in May, and I don't know why because is a shade that when I first got it I didn't really like, but I decided to give it a second chance and I changed my mind, I think it's a pretty peachy pink blush, I only wish it had less golden shimmers but that's OK for summertime.

And a very plain but useful product that really helped me this month is Korres white soft eye pencil for my waterline. The whole May and still now I suffer from eye allergies and redness and the white pencil make my eyes look more bright.




And something for my lips, is the classic blue Liposan, or Nivea or Labello in other countries. I use it every single day but I wanted to include it in my monthly favorites not just for May but for every month. I've tried lots of lip balms but this one works the best for my lips.





For hair care items, and it's the first time that I mention hair products in my monthly favorites, are two of the products that completely changed my hair routine, John Frieda Frizz Ease Extra Strength Hair Serum and Dove Intense Repair hair mask-conditioner. The John Frieda serum is an amazing product to use just before blow dry your hair, it straightens my hair really quick with no frizz at all, this is the second tube I use from this stuff and it's almost over, I'm going to buy a new one very soon. The Dove Intense Repair mask-conditioner is a treatment and a conditoner in one. I've tried lots and lots of hair conditioners but this one is by far the best one that I've tried. It makes my hair so soft and for some reason it works amazingly good when it's combined with the John Frieda serum.

For skincare, La Roche Posay Cicaplast was a savior this past month! I didn't use any moisturizer on my face besides the Cicaplast on certain areas, it really helped with dry areas on my face, especially on my cheekbones and nose, which peeled like crazy.





And for my most used fragance this month is Escada Taj Sunset. I just love this fragrance so much. I bought it last summer, it was limited edition as is every summer Escada fragrance, and I was using it every single day, it's the perfect fruity summer fragrance, too bad it's almost over and this year Escada decided to re-promote old summer fragrances but not this one!


So tell me, have you tried any of these products? Do you like them?

  1. The korres eye pencil Is stark white or softer? I have Fascinating by Mac but it's very white and I'm looking for a softer substitute. Love Springsheen!

    1. It's a soft white, it took me a while to find a pencil that isn't too white.

  3. Πολύ ωραία όλα τα αγαπημένα σου!! Είχα και γω την ίδια σχέση αγάπης μίσους με το Springsheen αλλά με τη σωστή εφαρμογή δείχνει τέλειο!!! Τα καλοκαιρινά αρώματα της Escada πάντα εντυπωσιάζουν!!!

  4. Το μπλε Liposan είναι πλέον τόσο cult που δε γίνεται να μη σου αρέσει! Για τη σκιά Arena, έχω ακούσει να μιλάνε και κανά δυο Youtubers, ότι δηλαδή δεν είναι και πολύ διάσημη όπως άλλες της Mac αλλά είναι τέλεια. Noted!
