Beauty | May Favourites 2015

Hello my lovelies I'm back today with a beauty post and this is my May Favourites, I use most of the same products practically every month, so just a heads up, you may of already seen some of these products but if your a first time reader of Street Or Chic then thats great because you would of never seen these products. I hope you enjoy this post and let me know what you think and also let me know your May favourites and maybe I can give them a try for next month.

1. Radox *Feel Enchanted* Shower Gel - I love a good shower gel, usually I just stick to a Simple branded one and others that just had no scents and no crap that will cause allergy because I can tend to be quite sensitive to certain body washes. But this month I decided to branch out a little and go for this Radox one which smells so beautiful it is Oriental Lotus and Orange Blossom. I'm never to keen on orange scented products so I was quite happy when the Oriental Lotus scent kind of took over. This wash doesn't bring me up in any type of rashes so I'm happy about that and will carry on using it, and maybe even try a different scent next time. 

2. Chanel *Perfection Lumiere Velvet* - This foundation has always been a favourite of mine since the day I brought it at the airport which was last August I believe, so quite a while ago and I used practically every little drop but kept it just incase I ran out of a new foundation I bought which is just a Rimmel drug store foundation, it was really good but when you go back to using this Chanel foundation you notice it so much. I prefer a lot more lighter consistency to a foundation and also medium coverage and although my Rimmel one gave me great coverage it was just too thick in consistency which I wasn't keen on. But over all I absolutely love this foundation. 

3. Nivea Cleansing Cream Wash - I've been using this face wash for quite a while now, it's quite a cheap product but it does the job of just cleaning and taking the crap off my face, morning and night, and whats great about this wash, is that it has tiny little exfoliant particles thats great for doing a good clean, but not too many that your constantly taking layers of skin off, because that would be bad. I only properly exfoliate about once or twice a week depending on how dehydrated my skin is. 

4. NAKED 3 Eye Palette - I haven't always been that type of person who applies eyeshadow everyday, just because most of the time I couldn't be bothered to apply it because it was one extra step in my everyday beauty regime and one more finger lift, I know lazy right. But I got this Naked palette as a Christmas gift last year and I never used it much to be honest only if I went on big nights out on the town. However more recently it's like I can't go out the house without wearing any eyeshadow. I don't know whats changed I just think it completes a look completely even if it's just a nude shadow. But this palette in particular is great because I'm more into nude shadows than bright vibrant colours and so these shadows are great and there even good for making a night time look as well as day, so I'd definitely recommend this.

Hello my lovelies, I've decided to do another personal style post as I love doing these but it's just finding the right time, especially because you can never predict the weather in London and as I have a  close to full time job it's hard to find the time, but i'm going to try my best to do at least one a week, even possibly two depending on time. But I'd really like to know whether you want to see these, the photo's are pretty shitty at the moment but i'm looking for a photographer to take some shots in snazzy locations so look out for those.

Billboard Music Awards Best & Worst

Best

Kylie Jenner - Kylie has always been a style inspiration for me as I love absolutely everything she wears and although I wouldn't particularly wear this outfit myself because it isn't my type of dress I definitely think she looks beautiful and pulls it off. I also love how simple and sophisticated Kylie's hair and makeup has been done, otherwise if she would of had a bold eye and lip the outfit could of turn't out a lot more tacky. 

Taylor Swift - How beautiful does Taylor look?! Similarly to Kylie I love everything Taylor wears and this no exception, her amazing slim, tall body is elongated in this seventies style jumpsuit. Also what's pretty cool about this outfit is her clutch bag which doesn't entirely go with the jumpsuit but for this reason it stands out. And I'm not too sure what it says on the bag but I'm guess it says 'bad blood' which is the name of her new single which can I just say, the music video is pretty damn cool. 

Celine Dion - All hale to this fine beauty. Come on who looks this damn good at 47! She looks absolutely beautiful and this dress which a lot of people would probably say is a little young for her to be wearing, well no it definitely isn't, well not in this case when you have a body like that to be rocking, and I love the colour of this dress, I have a leather skirt in this shade of green and i love it so much. 

Chrissy Teigen - I never knew of Chrissy before she was in John Legends "All Of Me" music video and since then she has been rocking the style stakes. Literally I think she's my new favourite style inspiration, she also pulls everything off. On to the actual outfit though, I'm loving this seventies inspired jumpsuit, similarly to Taylor Swift's jumpsuit as well. The seventies trend is definitely a biggen.  

Worst 

Mariah Carey - I've realised I think over the past year Mariah Carey has put on some weight, which in no way am I trying critise I think she stills look beautiful but I just think that this dress doesn't particularly suit her figure. I think the skirt is way to short and if I'm totally honest I don't actually like the dress I think it looks really cheap and thought she could of done a lot better. 

Dencia - I've never heard of Dencia before this red carpet appearance but now I do she definitely loves to experiment with her style thats for sure. I don't understand it though, obviously you may think I dislike this because it's not my style but I just think it's horrible. Obviously I think everyone should be unique in their own way and so I put my hands up to her for that but everyone has an opinion and mine is that this is a very horrible outfit. However I do like her hair and makeup, so points for that. 

Cannes Film Festival '15 Best & Worst Dressed

It's that time again where we can feast our eyes on some beautiful dresses and dreamy looking woman, where they dress up for the international Cannes Film Festival. I love these type of events, because my favourite type of posts to write what are my best and worst dressed. I've got three good and two bad for you today which is good because it's better to have more bests that worsts, right? Good, well lets get on with it, and I hope you enjoy this post. Let me know down in the comments your thought's on who was best and worst dressed. 

Best 

Naomi Watts - As soon as I see Naomi Watt's wearing this gown I knew that it was designed by my favourite dress designer Elie Saab, it's just incredible you can never miss one of these designs. They are always so glamorous and sexy but elegant and I think she wore this beautifully with her hair in an simple up do with natural makeup and a jewel necklace absolutely beautiful 10 out of 10. 

Lupita Nyong - Lupita always seems to pull it out of the bag and she did not disappoint this time round, I think the shade of green complimented her so well and the style of dress with the super low V cleavage and the soft, flowy chiffon material laid so beautifully and again the hair in and up do really showed off the amazing detailing and the neck of the dress. 

Karlie Kloss - Karlie went for something a little more daring and provocative but she did it in such a classy way and come on with a body like that why not show off a little midriff and those toned arms.

Worst 

Natalie Portman - It would be bad of me to say I totally disliked this dress because I don't, I do actually really like the dress I just think for such a big occasion and being on the red carpet, the dress clashed with the carpet and she just didn't really stand out which is a shame. Obviously that is only my opinion and you may all think I'm ridiculous , but I do like the dress it's just I think she could of maybe had it in a different colour. 

Julianne Moore - I wasn't too keen on Julianne's choice of attire on this occasion, I didn't really like the pairing of the top style and bottom style of the dress. I think if maybe the dress was fully like the bottom part, it could of looked a lot nicer, but I just wasn't keen on the top. 

Current Likes & Dislikes

Hello everyone, I think it's time for another post and I haven't done a particular post like this in a while and I thought that it would be a great time to do one. A Likes and Dislikes post. I haven't got too many products to show you just because I don't have a big enough beauty/skincare routine or interest to buy too many products to figure out whether I like them or not so I've just picked out a few. I hope you enjoy this post, if you do then comment your likes and dislikes too and whether you've tried any of the following. And before I start very sorry about the distracting, loud and vibrant bed cover, as much as I love it maybe a different background could of been used, let me know your thoughts.

1.  Garnier Body Repair Restoring Lotion Ok so I decided it was getting to the point where summer is round the corner and I want to get my legs out yet I haven't moisturised in like months, seriously since last summer, that is legit about nearly a year! And so I talk a walk to Boots and saw this one on promotion and obviously it says for extra dry skin, which to be honest i don't suffer with dry skin but because I haven't moisturised it only seemed right. So since i've been using this my skin has been beautifully moisturised, I wouldn't go as far as saying it's amazingly glowing because it's not but it just get's some moisture in there.

2. Aussie Take the Heat 2 Minute Miracle Deep Treatment I think I may have spoken about this in a previous favourites post, but it really does do a good job. It's not the most expensive and so obviously it's not going to all of a sudden get rid of 5 inches of dead hair but it does soften it and it's good a precaution to use, especially if your someone who uses heat daily or fairly most of the time then something is better than nothing. 

3. Rimmel Rita Ora Nail Polish in *Rain Rain Go Away* I always usually wear a dark colour on my nails, practically all the time, but I thought why not buy something completely different. Now I brought this nail polish a good few months ago and to be honest I never used it until about a week ago, my mums actually be using it but because I been going to some interviews I didn't want to gory nails, but something a little more sutle and then I fell in love with this. You can't really see the colour properly in this picture but it's a super light, grey and slightly lilac coloured, really pleasant. 

4. One Direction You & I Perfume I believe I've also mentioned this perfume as well. I have a good few perfumes and I tend to pick and choose between them usually using one of them for atlas a month and then moving on but this months I've been into the lovely one directioner boys perfume, did a bloody good job didn't they.  

Dislikes

5. KIKI Night Balm I purchased this night lip balm while in Rome a couple of months ago and I practically never used it, I feel like it's not bad but it's not good. When my lips are super dry in the evenings and I use this nothing really happens, it just seems to disappear and then I'm left with dry lips still. So it's just not worth it. 

6. Aussie Miracle Dry Shampoo *Aussume Volume* I was really excited to try this hair product out because I really wanted a dry shampoo as I haven't used some for about five years since being in school and I thought maybe it'll take some of the stress off of me washing my hair so often because it's just too long to wash more than once or twice a week. I thought this would be good because I use the Aussie range for my shampoo and conditioner and also treatment as you can see from the first picture and I also brought the one which gives you that extra bit of volume that we lack a good few days after washing our hair. First time I used this I  knew I hated it I had no volume and my hair on the roots felt really heavy and tacky and to be honest more horrible and dirty than before I put it on which isn't the point of dry shampoo, so I am quite disappointed and wouldn't recommend it.
