Nars Sheer Glow Foundation
The first of my May Favorites is the Nars Sheer Glow Foundation, this one is probably not a surprise you if you have read my last post. I love this foundation that much that I dedicated an entire blog post for this foundation here
The Nars Sheer Glow Foundation has a silky texture and a satin matte natural-looking finish. Despite being called ‘Sheer Glow’, this foundation is not dewy and it doesn’t leave your skin looking extra glowy, it leaves a subtle glow and has a good medium that is build-able.
The Nars Sheer Glow is truly a beautiful foundation and has most definitely made it into my top 5 foundations. I can see now why it is a “Holy Grail” foundation for so many.
I bought mine from feel Unique here , it can also be picked up from Brown Thomas here
Clinique Take the Day Off
Best cleanser ever! It breaks down everything on my face, even thick layers of mascara without any problem. Does not irritate, break out or dry out my skin. Leaves the skin glowing, but not greasy afterwards. I really love this stuff.
There is no residue after rinsing which I can find with some oil based cleansers, just clean, soft skin. It is perfect for sensitive and dry skin types like mine. Incredible!

Penneys Havana Complete Face Palette
I have really been loving this palette over the past couple of weeks. It is definitely my favorite Penneys palette to date. I am very impressed with all the shades, all are very pigmented and blendable. The highlight shade is absolutely stunning and is super pigmented. It transfers as a very pretty champagne shade that is ridiculously flattering on top of the cheekbones.
Can be picked up from Penneys for €6
Nars Laguna
When I first got this and seen the shade I though it looked like a mucky/grey colour however, this is not the case on the skin. The Laguna bronze gives a gorgeous natural bronzed glow to the skin. It is a light – medium tone and is said to have a matte finish however, it does have the teeny, tinniest bit of shimmer, but it leaves a beautiful glow to the skin.
The bronzer is very easy it is to blend out and also makes for a good contour shade.
I’ve worn this everyday for the past few weeks..love it!
Can be bought here for €39
NYX Micro Brow Pencil
I am a huge fan of the Benefit Precisely My Brow Pencil and The Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz , nothing I have tried before compares to them …until now!!! I love this Brow Pencil and it is almost a third of the price. This brow pencil is very thin and it isn’t intensely pigmented, making it a perfect choice for creating a natural, yet defined brow.
I really like the texture of the pencil, and the formulation is achieved with the perfect balance of soft and firm. It draws on with ease and really grips on for long wear hold. The super fine nip allows you to imitate brow-like strokes while also giving a sculpted and defined look.
You can buy it here from Boots for €10.50
And my final favorite for the month is…..
My Lovely Lash Extensions!!!
I could not have talked about my favorites this month without mentioning my Lash Extensions.
I got my lashes done for the first time this month from Wild Beauty in Tallaght and they did a fantastic job, highly recommend!
My natural lashes are short and sparse, so the lash extensions really open up my small eyes and most importantly, you do not need to apply mascara with them, so it’s saves me a very valuable 3 minutes in the morning 😉 I can see now why people say they are addictive! 🙂
Thanks for reading guys!
