May Favourites

Hello lovelies!

It's that time of the month again where everybody, included myself, talks about what they have been loving for the past weeks! I missed out on an April Favourites post simply because nothing really stood out to me that much. But because of that I've got lots of things to talk about in this post! So let's get on with it!



Firstly I have to express my love for the Bourjois 123 Perfect Colour Correcting Cream! Now I know that almost every blogger in the blogosphere has already raved about this but that's because it's actually that good! I've never tried any BB or CC creams before so I can't compare it but this has become a firm essential in my make up bag for the last one and a half months! I might do a full review on this in the near future - so keep your eyes peeled!



On a splurge in Boots I also bought my first ever essie nail laquers! One of them has been on my tips throughout April and most of May and that's why it has to be included in this: "A Splash Of Grenadine"It's a gorgeous magenta pink which is a perfect summer shade for me!

Near the end of the May (on another splurge) I also discoverd essies "Peach Daiquri" which is a perfect peachy coral hue with a lovely name!

Another nail varnish has made it into this favourites list and it's another "first time ever" product: Sally Hansen "Pedal To The Metal". I picked this up for half the price at ASDA and even though it's not a summer hue, I've worn it multiple times.



My lip product of the month has to be the "Natural Lip Roll-On" by The Body Shop. It's moisturizing, doesn't leave the lips greasy and has a lovely mint taste. It also feels cooling applied to the lips and helps my (apparently always) chapped lips!


My non-beauty favourite and new obsession is the series "Breaking Bad"! I've finished season 1 to 3 and I need to get my hands on the DVD set of series 4 and 5! I really don't know why I haven't started watching this earlier, especially since nearly everybody was praising it so much! But I finally started and it's sooo good. If you follow me on twitter (@annxkathrin) you might have seen a tweet or two about this. And just to let you know how severe my obsession is: yep I watched the whole first series in one day. Nothing more to add to this I guess haha


Music-wise I've also had some new discoveries! I love finding "new" music and expanding my horizon. This month I've loved the album "xx" by "The XX". I know this came out a long time ago but can I just tell you how great this is? It's so relaxing and beautiful.

Another album I've been listening to a lot is "If You Wait" from "London Grammar". I have to say I didn't like it too much the first time I've listened to it, but after several times I really got into it. Like The XX this is really relaxing and calming.


And that's pretty much everything I have for you today! I hope you enjoyed reading. Please let me know what your favourites this month were!

  6. I love the Essie nail polishes. I've never tried a CC cream because I'm not sure it improves BB creams. But this Bourjois CC cream looks great.
