Hello lovelies!
Here we are at the end of May and I know everyone says this but, my gosh, this month has flown by. I’m finally settled back in at home now that I’m home for the summer so now that I have more time on my hands I’m trying to get back to regularly posting. I've compiled a few favorites for you all so without further adieu, here are my favorites for the month of May!

Beauty
Nars Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer: I’m in love with this stuff. I’ve never been one to wear foundation or anything because, thankfully, I have pretty nice skin. This tinted moisturizer is just awesome. It’s creamy, it goes on smooth and just gives the skin a nice glow which I nice this time of year. It has SPF so it just gives me skin another layer of protection while I’m out in the sun. It’s pretty pricey, but it was definitely worth it.

Nyx blush in “Mocha”: This is a nice, baby pink blush that’s perfect for day to day use. Now, I don’t really wear makeup every day but when I do this has been my go-to. It’s natural and gives the face a little rosy tint.

Maybelline Hi-Lite in “Nude”: I’ve mentioned this on my blog before, I just adore this highlighter. It gives the face just a nice natural glow that looks stunning in the sunlight. It’s a nice blend of pink and nude and it definitely has some shimmer but it’s not chunky or noticeable, it just a nice sheen. I usually use this as a cheek highlight and sometimes as a brow bone or inner corner highlight.

Maybelline The Rocket Mascara: This stuff is seriously awesome, it’s worth all the hype. This mascara doesn’t budge and I use the regular formula, not the waterproof. It stays all day until I want to take it off. It gives my lashes volume and separates. It makes me lashes look fabulous.

NYC City Proof lip crayons in “South Ferry Berry” and “Fulton Street Fushia” : I’m obsessed with lip crayons and these are really good. The color pay off is great, it gives your lips a nice wash of color without feeling too heavy. They’re really lightweight and pigmented. They run about $2.

Maybelline Color Elixir in “Blush Essence”: You know the drill; these babies have been mentioned on my blog before. They’re pigmented, moisturizing, and creamy. These are definitely a Holy Grail product for me.
EOS Shaving Cream in “Pomegranate Raspberry”: I usually just use my soap or conditioner to shave my legs but now that I’ve tried this I don’t think I’ll ever go back to my old ways. It’s moisturizing, it keeps my legs smooth for a really long time and it smells amazing.

Beauty Essentials “Honey Almond” body scrub: I found this little gem at Ross a while back and it’s a really nice scrub. It’s a cheaper alternative to my normal favorite from Tree Hut. It has a lotion-like texture with small beads to exfoliate the skin. I put this on my legs after I shave and I also rub it on my arms. It has a light scent. At $4 you can’t really go wrong.

Vaseline Total Moisture Lotion: This stuff is amazing. I moisturize by body right after I get out of the shower and it go one smooth and makes my skin feel light and moisturized for a really long time. It has oat extract in it so it has a nice oatmeal-like scent which I really love. It was also really affordable and this stuff lasts you a while.

Vo5 Shampoo & Conditioner in “Passion Fruit Smoothie”: I seriously can’t say anything but good things about this stuff. It’s affordable, it does its job and it smells AMAZING. My hair smelled like passion fruits for like a week and I’m obsessed.

Music
My music favorites for the month are definitely everything I put on two playlists that I recently created on Spotify. One is a Alt Rock workout playlist that has all of my favorites from The Used, Blink-182, Green Day and more. Another is a Girl Power playlist and I can’t get enough. It has everything from No Doubt, Paramore, Madonna, Britney, Spice Girls and more.

Television & Movies
So I’m obsessed with Supernatural and let me just say that season finale killed me. I cried so hard and I’m still not ever it- at all. The Vampire Diaries also just had a season finale and that killed me as well, I was a sobbing wreck by the end. It was rough. The new Mtv series, Faking It, is my new love. The characters are awesome and I’m in love with Amy and Karma, they’re so cute and I seriously recommend this show to everyone!

Movies: I finally saw The Amazing Spider-Man 2- it was EPIC. I’m in love with Marvel movies and this one did not disappoint. I’m excited to see how they continue the Spider-Man series and what’s next for Peter Parker. Next on my list- X-Men: Days of Future Past and The Fault in Our Stars…I’m not even prepared.

All of these mentioned above will be featured in my Luvocracy collection, named “May Favorites” If you’re interesting in finding out where to get these products. Luvocracy is a great site to follow people and discover new products and fashion and find where to buy them. It’s available in the App Store. Follow me there! Also, I'm getting a new camera soon and I might start doing beauty videos on YouTube to make these things go more smoothly, so stay tuned for that!




May Style Spotlight:

Jaclyn Hill

So sorry I've been absent. The last two months have been so hectic with cheer competitions and finals but I’m finally back and I couldn't be happier! Now- onto my pick for my May Style Spotlight!

Jaclyn Hill has been one of my favorite beauty gurus for a long time now. Whenever people ask me how to blend their eye makeup correctly I always direct them to Jaclyn who is the queen of blending! Her tutorials are always easy to follow and she creates looks that are perfect for all skin tones and that’s something that a lot of people look for when finding makeup tutorials. The looks she creates are all wearable and achievable and of course, in the words of Jaclyn you have to “blend, blend, and BLEND!” Also, you know you’re a fan of Jaclyn when you describe your shadows as “buttery.”

Jaclyn has partnered with Sigma Beauty and created her own kit of her Holy Grail brushes that she considers to be her beauty essentials to help you achieve a flawless look. Jaclyn’s kit is always sold out but she keeps her subscribers updated whenever they restock it. You can find her bundle here. Viewers of Jaclyn’s YouTube channel all know she’s a big fan of the Whitening Lighting lip glosses, and she recently partnered with them to create her very own gloss called “Rose Hill.” It’s a gorgeous rosy pink and I’ll be putting in my order soon enough. You can order her gloss here. They currently have a special trio sale where you can pick up “rose hill” and two other choices for a discounted price.

Here’s her latest video:
