I feel like I start off every monthly favourites with the same thing... I can't believe another month has passed. This year is going way to fast for my liking. How are we already hitting May, that means I only have a month and a bit left of this semester and there one semester done and one left till I graduate. Scary stuff.
Anyway let's get down to business shall we?
I wanted to start with some music favourite first this month, now these songs are not 'newly released' but I'm just really into them at the moment.
One is Hailee Steinfeld's Love Myself. I know this has been around for a bit and I have listened to it many times but I finally downloaded it and am so obsessed with this song. It's a great pump up song, I am currently using it as my alarm song to wake me up in the morning as well as in the gym. Every time I hear this song, I just want to dance!
The other song I'm really into at the moment is Ellie King's Ex's & Oh's. This song is so catchy, I didn't even know what it was called for ages but I knew most of the words when I heard it playing when I was out, so I had to research and find it. It just another great pump up song that makes me want to dance. Definitely going to have to listen to the rest of Ellie King's songs.
Snapchat Filters
Okay, so I was like extremely late to the party when it came to Snapchat filters like I couldn't even work out how they worked until February. But now that I do know how to use them, it like one of my favourite things to do. Bored on the bus play with Snapchat filters, want to entertain the kid I'm babysitting open up my Snapchat filters, wanna send a silly picture to a friend use a Snapchat filter. I mean these things are great. My favourite one is definitely the rainbow vomiting one (with or without unicorn) and that amazing lighting filter ( Don't know what it's called but I'm sure all of you know which one I'm talking about)
Fake Tanning
I've been embracing my European roots recently and tanning myself up. I don't tan well. that's an understatement I burn, not tan. There are very rare occasions where if I am in the sun for a bit I actually tan. I normally am applied sunblock every hour to prevent myself from going lobster red :p. So I normally turn to fake tanning to make it look as though I have actually seen the sun while on summer holiday. I usually use the Dove Summer Glow moisturiser but it was always slightly inconsistent and took ages to get a good shade. So after some research, I stumbled across Le Tan Express Tanning Mousse. Let me tell you this stuff is amazing! Because it's actually tinted you can see the spots you missed (no awkward white spots) and it develops super quickly. you can leave it on between 30 mins to 2 hours depending on how dark you want it. I average between an hour and a half to two hours to get my skin look perfectly tan. Just make sure you use a mitt with it cause it pretty potent but go forth and be tan all year long!
Rose Gold Eyes
We all know my love for rose gold, well this month I've really been utilising the rose goldy shades in my makeup collection. I've been combining my Rimmel Kate Moss Eyeshadow Crayon in Rose Gold with my L A Girl Nudes Eyeshadow Palette to get these gorgeous pink gold eyes. I just smudge out a little black eyeshadow on my top lid, add some mascara and I'm ready to go.
Zootopia
Yup, this is a kids movie and yes it's in my favourites. Mid-April marked school holidays which meant I was nannying. I had seen the trailer for Zootopia and thought it looked great and what a better excuse to go to a kid movie than the fact that you are getting paid to go :) I meant it was a great film, clever and witty for both children and adults alike. Also, there is a great Breaking Bad reference in there so if you find it 10 points to you! If your up for a good light-hearted laugh and love animated movies as much as I do, go check it out. (ps. there were plenty of adults in the cinema I was in that didn't have children with them. No shame in revisiting your childhood once in a while)
There we go another month of favourites... This is just crazy. I also found this month's favourites really hard to think about as this month has been pretty hectic but I've made it to the end and am so ready for May.
Hope April treated you well and that May is even better.
