My Lord, I haven't written a blog post in over a month and I'm very sorry for that, not that anyone really cares but ah well. It is now the month of June meaning May is over, duh! My March Favourites post seemed to go down well so I've decided to do another one. Just like my March Favourites, this will be everything I've been loving thought May including music, movies, ect.
So the first product that I loved throughout May is the Bourjois 123 Perfect Foundation. When I first started using this foundation I didn't really like it but now I just love how it makes my skin look and how it feels on my skin. It has quite a good coverage and it has a matte finished, which I like but it does have it's down sides. It clings to dry skin and if your skin is very oily it will come off after a while. It also smells a bit weird but you can only smell it when you first put it on so that's not too bad. Another thing I love about this foundation is that it had SPF 10 in it which is very handy because it is now summer and the sun has actually been out, even though it's Ireland and I hate using sun cream so that's a bonus.
Another product I've been loving is a hair product, it's the Pantene Pro V Mousse. I have quite long hair and it's not incredibly thick but there is a lot of it so the weight of all the hair drags so I never had volume in my hair until I started using this mousse. I put it in my hair after I've washed my hair and it's still damp. It doesn't put loads of volume in my hair but it definitely makes a difference, if I don't use it my hair is just limp and lifeless so I've really been loving this product.
The next thing is something that I got for Christmas that I just hadn't used yet. It's Lush Shower Gel in Ponche, but I'm pretty sure it's limited edition and you can only get it around Christmas time which sucks. It contains orange juice and a shot of tequila, and it smells absolutally amazing and the smells stays, so even after a while you can still smell it! I got a small bottle, but it lasts a surprisingly long time which is always good. So if you happen to be in a Lush shop near Christmas I highly recommend you pick up a bottle and just smell it!
This next thing I've been loving is a curling iron. It's the Remington Pro Big Curl Tong, which is just a big, wide barrel curling iron. It heats up quite fast and it has a clasp to close the hair under which I find really handy. It does take a few tries to get the hang of using it if you're not used to using curling irons, which I'm not and I have burnt my neck with it because I'm so skilled... It just gives my hair a nice, bouncy wave and it gives my hair volume which I just love.
Music I've been loving is the new Paramore album. I love Paramore and I have for years, and I'm going to see them when they come to Dublin in September and I'm really looking forward to it. Their new album is just such a feel good album, the songs are all so catchy. It's just a really good album that I will be listening to all through summer.
A movie I've been loving is "That's My Boy" which was released last year but I only watched it recently. Adam Sandler and Andy Samberg star in this movie and it's just such a funny movie and it's on Sky Demand at the moment, so I recommend you check it out.
So there is all the things I've been loving throughout the month of May, and I hope you've, maybe, found some things that you will enjoy just as much as I have. If you have any products that you think I should try out, you can always leave suggestions and recommendations in the comment to the blog posts, and if you have any questions about any products or about anything, you can leave them in the comments and I'd be more then happy to answer them. As always, thanks to all the support from everyone and I will not leave it a month until my next blog post. And good luck to anyone doing exams, you'll do great! Thanks for reading :)

Lush
Hi there. So today I went to Lush, it wasn't my first time being in Lush but I had never bought anything before. If you've never been to Lush before drop everything you're doing and get yourself to one straight away! It the most friendly, beautifully scented shop I've ever been in.
When we walked in we wanted to have a quick look at everything first so we walked down to the back of the shop so we could work our way up and all of the workers were just so nice. There were ''How are yous?'' and ''Are you alright?'' flying in from every angle and it was great, compared to MAC, where we had been previously, where they just give you rotten looks because you don't look like you know anything about makeup at the age of 15. While making our way to the back of Lush one of the men working there just turned to me and said ''Oh my God, I love your hair!'' which made me instantly fall in love with the shop.
As we were looking at all the products at the back of the shop one of the people working there came up and just started describing the products to us and saying what they like, which is always handy as they can't put personal opinions on labels. As we worked our way up the shop, one of the men working there played this little game thing with a girl I went in with and he was asking us stuff and he truly seemed interested in our lives. While the girls talked to the guy, I walked on a little and then suddenly I'm getting a hand massage off one of the girls working there and it was amazing, my hand still smells like jasmine.
It was hard to choose something to buy as everything is so amazing but I finally decided on ''Space Girl'' and ''The Enchanter''. They're both bath bombs but they are very different. Space Girl is light blue/purple coloured space shuttle thing with pink and silver glitter sprinkled onto it and it smells like Parma Violets which are one of my favourite kinds of sweets. The Enchanter, on the other hand, is a big orange sphere which, apparently, turns your bath to Halloween colours so I obviously bought it as it's only a few days from Halloween. It's very hard to describe the smell of The Enchanter, the thing I think of when I smell it is when you hug a person and their clothes smell lovely and clean which may put you of it but please don't let it. Go into Lush and give it a whiff for yourself.

Over all, Lush is definitely a shop you should go into even if you just want to look at the products because they look amazing and it's all homemade. I'll leave a link to the Lush website at the end so you can go and look at everything to see what I'm going on about if you'd like and I'll put a picture of what I bought if you're interested. Thanks for reading :)
