May favourites!

As we are approaching the end of  May now I thought it was about time I did another favourites post! Here are five items that I have been loving throughout May!

The first item is a perfume that I've had for quite a few years now, but have been wearing more often recently. This is the DKNY be delicious perfume, I am not too keen on overpowering smelling perfumes, and this one is defiantly not that, it is light and suitable to be worn not only in the day but on a night out too!

£34.99 Boots
The next item is a trio of Body shop lip balms that I received for Christmas from my brother. They came in a cracker shaped packaging that twisted at either end. Obviously it's not Christmas any more (sigh), which means that they do not currently sell these exact same lip balms any more. However, they do have similar ones such as the Honeymania lip balm, which is £4, or a similar collection called Born Lippy pot lip balms which come in Satsuma, Raspberry, Strawberry, Passionberry and Watermelon which are £2 each. I have been loving these lip balms as they smell amazing, they are not too thick and make your lips look healthy and shiny.


The third item I have been loving not only throughout May but since December 2013 is a No7 eyeshadow. I received this eye shadow in a gift set from No7 when buying multiple items from them and cannot find it on their website, but this is defiantly worth looking out for if they have similar offers in the future. It is a brownie purple colour with a slight shimmer. I've found that works nicely on top of a lighter base eyeshadow, in the outer corner and in the crease of your eyelid. I have loved this eyeshadow throughout May as it is not too dark and can be worn everyday or on a night out. 


 Another Item I have been loving in May are lip crayons. I have two, one from Revlon which is a dark red ,and the other is from No7 which is a light pink. I love wearing these under my Kate Moss red Lipstick from Revlon (£5.49), and my Brighton Rock lipstick from Topshop (£8). They are easy to apply and help the lipstick last longer, as I apply one of these as a base coat.


The last item is a top I was bought recently from River Island. I found that as the days were getting warmer I did not have much clothing suitable for the summer, or for festivals (as festival season is approaching). The top was £20 and has detailed cutouts at the front and buttons up the back.




I hope you like some of these items I have been loving throughout May!

The Originals and The Vampire Diaries!!

WARNING: Do not read this post if you have not seen the finale episodes of The Originals or The Vampire Diaries... MAJOR spoilers ahead.


So, today I thought I would do a slightly different post to my usual and do a kind of review on the season finales of The Originals, season one and The Vampire Diaries, season five.

Finally, the baby has arrived and is healthy and happy....well kind of. The Witches plan to sacrifice the baby to bring back the final harvest girl, did come with a few to many shocks...Klaus being strapped to the wall and poor Hayley being killed! Who was expecting that! But not to worry she did come back alive to Elija's delight...like most characters that die in The Vampire diaries. Now I'm not going to ramble on about the details of the episode but lets just say it was pretty awesome for a season finale, with Rebekah making an appearance at the end in a scene that lets face it we all cried a little at.

I have been a fan of The Vampire Diaries since 2012 and have (of course) chosen a side to ship...Stelena (Obviously). So when Stefan was killed in the penultimate episode of season five, you could imaging my shock and despair. However, Stelena fans are pleased to see Stefan welcomed back in the finale...but not without a few shocks along the way. The list kept getting longer and longer, we just knew that something was going to go wrong. There was a little part of me that did want Lexi to get a second chance, but as Marco tried to escape the other side I'm sure glad she didn't! I was quite upset to see that the beloved Aunt Jenna did not make an appearance though...I guess the writers have forgotten all about her! I have to admit though, the final scene when Elena is distraught over losing Damon and his little speech to her even though she couldn't hear did get me a bit emotional. However, we were left on a MAJOR cliff hanger whether or not Damon and Bonnie will ever return, I'm sure everyone is asking, did they find peace? what's happened to the other side? Is there a hidden meaning in Gram's message? or has the other side completely collapsed? Well I'm hoping all my questions will be revealed in season 6...but we'll have to wait till October to find out!


I hope you enjoyed the season finale's as much as I did and that I didn't bore anyone with this post :S
