May Favourites | 2015

Hi guys,

I would first off like to make a formal apology for the lack of blog posts in May. Actually I don't think I did one at all... I don't really have an excuse except that I just wasn't inspired. May was a crazy month for me as a university student because of how many hardcore assignments I had to do, all within like, 3 days of each other. Also, my style of writing doesn't aid well with just writing for the hell of it, just to put some content out there. I'd rather write when I'm inspired and excited to write than just because I 'probably should'.

Okay, so today I thought a May Favourites would be apt because, well, it's the end of May! And I liked quite a lot of new things last month. They're a bit random and I don't really plan on giving this post a strict structure but here we go!

Clothing: Okay, I don't usually include any clothing items in my blog posts purely because I pretty much wear the same things; I mean I live in leggings and oversized t-shirts however this month I saw loads of people wearing high neck tops, or turtle neck tops I guess they're called? I dunno but I found two on ASOS and I've pretty much been wearing them all month. I have a plain black one and a black and white stripey one and I LOVE them. They're so easy to style and they look so timeless. I'm planning on wearing the black one with leggings and leopard print peep toe ballet pumps when I go to see Ariana Grande on Thursday with my bestie.

Do shoes go under the clothing category? I'm gonna throw them in anyway. My converse have been a staple this month because it's kinda warm enough to wear them now. I tend to avoid them during the winter because I get cold feet easily and they're kinda slippy in the ice but this month I have been looooooving them! Also, a girl can't go wrong with some ballet pumps. They are usually my go to footwear in the summer so I stocked up during May. I go to ASDA George for my ballet pumps because they're cheap but pretty - I got the leopard print peep toe ones I previously mentioned and some really cute, normal light blue ones with pretty flowers on them. Both at £6 a piece.

Make-Up: I don't really have any major make-up favourites this month because I pretty much use the exact same products, I just mix 'em up a little bit but this month I discovered a Beauty Blender. Overpriced? Yes. Worth it? YES. I got mine from BeautyBay.com and I can't believe I've been using brushes before this. It's so flawless, there's no brush strokes, it's really gentle so you're not pulling your skin like you do when you blend out with a brush, I just can't get enough of it!

I also just recently got the Soul palette from Stila's Eyes Are The Window collection which is now my primary eye palette for sure. It's just so pretty! And the packaging helps. It's kinda pricey but I think it's worth it, if you're a makeup enthusiast anyway!

I'm just gonna throw in this polish from Barry M's 'Glitterati' collection in VIP because I'm wearing it on my toes right now and I feel like a majestic mermaid. It's so beautiful! I have a picture of what it looks like on my fingers on my instagram (katemetcalfee) so have a peek if you wanna see the full effect (ps it's so magical omg)

I'm gonna copy my bestie Soph here and do her weird 'Randoms' at the bottom of this post!

Songs of the Month: So this month I've been OBSESSED over 5 Seconds Of Summer (don't judge) so all of my fave songs have been from their album...

English Love Affair

Voodoo Doll

What I Like About You

Movie of the Month: BIG HERO 6! I watched this when I was in Wales at the beginning of the year but I found it again on demand on the tv and I'm actually watching it as I'm writing this blog post... Ehehehe.

The Avengers: Age of Ultron - I saw this twice, once with my dad and then with Jack and I legit died laughing both times. It just doesn't get old!

Skin Care of the Month: I recently got the Liz Earl Hot Cloth Cleanser (the original one in the blue bottle) on their website when it was on a major sale for £9.99 and it's so GOOD! I use it to take my makeup off and as a second cleanse afterwards and it's just so gentle and effective. I want more!

Piercing of the Month: So I got my nose re-pierced for the third time this month and I love it! I got it pierced with a ring this time because the other two times before I've let it close up from where I've tried to get a ring in and it hasn't gone through. I'm so obsessed with it.

I think that's about it!

What are your favourites from May? 

Toodles,
