The May Favorites Thread 2019!

BrendaBT — Thu, 09 Jul 2020 23:22:07 GMT

Can you all believe it’s already time for another monthly favorites thread?! It feels like just yesterday we were sharing our April must-haves. We love learning about the products other beauty lovers have been enjoying to most each month and we’re so excited to see which hair, skincare, fragrance, and makeup products you used the most during the month of May. As always, whether the products are new, a faithful holy-grail, or maybe just a favorite you rediscovered, we are here for it and want to know about it!

I’ll get the party started. Here are my May favorites:

Which products were your May faves? Show & tell!

@BrendaBT I FINALLY tried

and it is amazing. I must own at least half a dozen hair oils, but this one is my favorite. It makes my ends so smooth - for days and days. I didn't know a hair oil could be this great! I can't believe I waited for so long.

i have quite a few favorites this month i feel particularly enthused about !! skincare & hair heavy 🙂

-- i adore using this in conjunction with PIXI retinol tonic (which i'll also picture here, you can get it at target) at night. i noticed a difference very quickly with pretty consistent use (every 10 days or so i take a couple days off from it), such as a reduction in fine lines as well as less congestion in my problem areas. both of these retinol products are entry level and gentle. i don't peel, but can feel a little sensitive overtime so i know when to take a day or two off.

-- so soothing, particularly after the retinol regimen mentioned above. my skin can be breakout prone, but there's nothing in this my skin doesn't like, much to my relief. i repurchased my second tub of it this month, only to have my love for it reinforced.

SUPERGOOP! - Unseen Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 40-- good god have i finally found a sunscreen that doesn't break me out ?! i have !! not for those who can't tolerate silicones, but it's brilliant. super thin, primer-like, no smell, not greasy.

-- i've been growing out my hair since i joined these boards in 2014, and really haven't been getting my hair trimmed as i should (or ever, except for a little at-home maintenance). this stuff, though, i swear, makes my hair look like i HAVE been trimming my ends. i apply to damp hair as well as to dry hair as needed, and find my hair is far more manageable.

-- i've never used a dry shampoo i felt lived up to its promises until i found this stuff about 5 weeks ago. it doesn't have the best reviews which blows my mind, because it's been a game changer for me. refreshes hair, smells A DREAM, gives a bit of lived in texture, while not drying out my dryish wavy/curly hair too much. if you need more cleansing you can always go up one to the 'first class' one; i love this brand has such options.

-- i had the flu, it destroyed my lips, got this stuff in the sale, it saved my lips virtually overnight. i prefer it to the laneige.

NARS - Sun Wash Diffusing Bronzer - Laguna-- (not pictured, whoops. there's always something i forget) i'm pale as can be and like it that way, but i like the dimension bronzer can give me, and i adore this formula. i use it as a proper bronzer and as an eyeshadow on easy days where i can't otherwise be bothered. i use it with a stiff flat top kabuki brush since the matte formula is a bit stiff compared to some other bronzers out there, but with this method i have no issues with getting enough product on my brush nor with blending.

SERGE LUTENS la fille de berlin -- simply, what i think is the most beautiful rose perfume of them all.

cheers !may 2019 faves

May favorites

3 are from Volition I absolutely love the

and

The strawberry serum has replaced DE C-Firma and B-Hydra. The turmeric polish replaced OH walnut scrub and the luminizing shield replaced DE umbra. I am really impressed with Volition and love that it is a bit cheaper than DE.

I love

in gardenia. It is my favorite of the 3 Kopari deodorants I have.

My new favorite face oil is

It smells amazing and is so hydrating!

@SportyGirly125 I am soooo loving your favorites! I am going to pop in later with mine! I think I am going to buy the Laneige lip balm today. You know I love lip balm and I keep hearing such great things! 🙂 xoxo

@jen143xo for the Laneige lip balm they all have a tint to it except the pear one. Just a heads up.

I have a lot of favorites this months due to all sales!! Most are new favorites I picked up and a couple of old favorites I revisited this month. Sorry I can’t tag any of them cause I’m on mobile and tagging in mobile hasn’t been working...

-Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40: This seems to be a collective community favorite this month, I’m not the only one who has mentioned it! As a primer, it seems to play well with every foundation I wear and I haven’t had any issues with sun damage. I may give the matte version a try when I use up this bottle though, only for the warmer weather. During the cooler months this guy is perfection.

-Urban Decay Born To Run: After wanting this palette so bad but felt unable to justify it, I finally picked it up for $7 after an Ulta coupon and redeeming points. Wow what a great palette! I love UD shadows anyway, but the shade variety is really great. It’s an all-in-one palette with neutrals for everyday, blacks, grays, and purples for a smoky look, and pops of pinks, blues, and greens for interest. If I hadn’t of gotten it earlier I would have grabbed it on sale now. I can’t speak highly enough of BTR, go get it!!

-Too Faced Natural Lust Bronzer: Another $7 pick up from Ulta. A couple things I love about this bronzer are the shades are beautiful for a summer glow, the bronzer is a nice shade for both contouring and warmth, and the highlight is the perfect soft gold to compliment it. Finally, the size! It’s so big and the same cost as any other compact bronzer. Value + quality can’t be beat.

-Charlotte Tilbury Glowgasm Palette is Lovegasm: The 20% off plus an eBates rebate allowed me to grab this bad boy for less than $40. I just really wanted it because it’s just so pretty. I chose Lovegasm over Lightgasm for the shades, I wanted something a little darker and warmer for summer. I’ve been reaching for it a lot since I got it!

-IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream: I used this for a long time but found myself fall out of love with it for a bit. I decided to give it another try and it’s been placed back in the ol foundation rotation. I don’t know if it’s the new primer or my skin due to a new routine but it’s never performed this well for me, even when I obsessed and sang it’s praises to everyone. It’s the exact same bottle too! So I’m not sure what the deal is but I’m not mad about it.

-Clinique Take Off The Day Cleansing Cloths: Of all the TOTD formulas this is my favorite. I’ve used them before, tried other cloths, different brands, etc, and these one just work. I find cleansing cloths either irritate my skin or leave a greasy film and these do neither. They also do a great job of removing all of my makeup, including liquid lipstick. My skin feels comfortable and cleansed, and I don’t feel like I need to do more on nights I’m just too tired or lazy to devote more time to my skin.

@faeriegirl I’m really interested in trying the Strawberry-C Serum! I’ve been using Ole’s for a while and while I enjoy it I find I go through it fairly quickly... Were you using DE’s C-Firma and B-Hydra together as they suggest? I use B-Hydra with the A-Passioni and on it’s own, and I love it!! But you find the Strawberry-C works well enough to brighten and hydrate?

Re: The May Favorites Thread 2019!

faeriegirl — Sat, 25 May 2019 16:50:33 GMT

@alexasteph Yes I used to mix 1 pump of C-Firma and 1 pump of B-Hydra. The Volition definitely feels like it is more hydrating so I started using the b-hydra at night with my a-passioni too. The only thing I don’t like is the smell I wish it smelled more like strawberry but it smells like cucumber. I do seem to be going through it faster since I’m not mixing it though.

Re: The May Favorites Thread 2019!

alexasteph — Sat, 25 May 2019 17:02:32 GMT

@faeriegirl Cucumber? Interesting, cucumber isn’t mentioned in the description at all. I do like cucumber a lot though. It’s a little less than Ole’s for the same amount, so it definitely might be worth giving it a try! I’ll need to stock up on some skincare within the next month or so so I might just add that too!

@jemlyI don't tend to like rose scents, but LFDB is one I really enjoy wearing ❤️

Yaaay! Thanks for starting this thread @BrendaBT! I'll have to think about my faves this month. That Dior primer looks great - I've been eyeing it since it came out. 🙂

SUPERGOOP! - Unseen Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 40

Some of my favs this month. I’m looking for a mineral sunscreen that works well under makeup. Loving the CC cream for more natural days with the besame setting powder.
