>> Hi ya'll and welcome or welcome back to my channel
it's time for a new monthly favorites video, so let's get started!
If you watched my Spring/Summer haul you'll know that recently I've been shopping quite a lot
so it won't be a surprise to see that some of my favorite clothes from May were featured in that video
in case you missed it you can watch it by clicking here, right above my head
I'll start with the pieces you already saw, that I'll quickly share with you
Unexpectedly one of the pieces I wore the most from my haul is
this Forever 21 top
a cropped top with puffy 3/4 sleeves, it ties around the waist
as you can see I'm quite into red stripes at the moment
and I've been wearing it a lot because it's an easy to pair piece
I mainly paired it with skirts and a plain t-shirt/tank top underneath
but it adds something even to the most casual and boring outfits
it's a cute piece and the price is affordable too, as it's from Forever 21
and you can buy it online which is always a plus for me
still speaking about the pieces from my haul
I'm still a lot into t-shirts and these are the ones I wore the most
this is the first one, the grey Blondie t-shirt that I bought on Modcloth and the other second one
is the And other stories white t-shirt with a velvet graphic saying you are living in a fantasy
which I really love.
now let's move to the pieces that I already owned and I rediscovered
I've fallen back in love with pencil skirts
for quite a long time pencil skirts were not my thing at all
they looked awful on me, but now
as I lost some weight, I know I keep talking about that, I swear it's not to brag
it's just to say that I can now fit again in some of my old pencil skirts
so among my May favorites I decided to feature some pencil skirts
the one I wore the most is this basic black one that I bought years ago from Zara
I don't think this exact one is still available, but you'll easily find some similar ones
I love to wear it with a white t-shirt, like the one from And other stories and a leather jacket
so thumbs up for pencil skirts
the other skirt I'd like to show you it's not exactely a pencil skirt, here it is
it's a cotton skirt with a cute embroidery
it's not a pencil skirt because it has an A-line shape, but it's quite tight on the hips
so once again I couldn't fit in it for a very long time
I bought it many years ago in London, at Camden market I think
but it's still available on sale online in a different color
and it's a cute and unique piece, perfect for Summer
so of course I'm in love with it
so A-line/kind of pencil skirt
and last but not least...gosh I dropped something...no, everything is ok
a great Spring/Summer classic in my wardrobe are leather jackets
especially the cropped biker style ones
like this one that I bought from Zara a few years ago
it has 3/4 sleeves which makes it even cuter
this exact same model is not available anymore, but you can easily find some similar ones
and I love to wear it witha pencil skirt, or a maxi dress, because a lovely leather/pleather jacket
adds something to every kind of outfits
I'm trying to be quick, I don't know if you can tell
because I have a ton of stuff to talk about, anyway these were my May favorite clothes
Now let's move to the next cathegory which is going to be shoes,
so we'll somehow keep talking about fashion
I say straight away that both my May favorite shoes were featured in my haul video
so they won't be a surprise
The first pair is, without a doubt, my beloved white Converse Chuck Taylor
they are super versatile
I've been wearing them in many different ways, with jeans, with pleated trousers
with skirts, maxi dresses because they add a casual and fun touch even to the most basic outfits
they are comfy and easy to find and white is the perfect color for Spring and Summer
and I know I'll be wearing them a lot
The second pair, I'll be back in a second
here I am, the second pair was in my haul video too and they are these cute grey mules
they are very comfy, when in the morning I'm in a rush I put them on quickly and I'm ready
I love the big bow, I bought them on Asos, but the brand is Office
I hope they are still available, anyway
If I haven't said it yet I'll do it now, on my blog you'll find
the list of all the featured products with links to buy them online when available
and the link to my blogpost is in the downbar, you can go wrong
click on show more and you'll find a ton of infos waiting for you
so these are my second favorite shoes from May
Let's keep talking about accessories in the next cathegory, which is going to be bags
My May favorite bag was an unplanned purchase that I made a few weeks ago at a vintage market
I'll show it even if being a vintage piece you can't get it anywhere
but just like you do with friends, when you find something cool you wish to share it
and look at this beauty
it's a bag from the 50ies/60ies, it's kind of a satchel/basket shape
it's yellow, one of my favorite color for this Season
I don't know which material it's made of, but it looks like enamel coated
with these cute...how are they called? Gosh I can't remember
anyway with these adorable things, with metal fastenings and studs all around
it opens by twisting this part and the inside is in yellow plastic with white details
it's super pop, super 50ies/60ies and I had to buy it, because I fell in love at first sight
even if I promised to myself that I was not going to buy anything else in May
So this is my favorite bag from May
Brilliant, I'm still trying to be quick, so let's move to make up!
Once again I have to say that if you watched my beauty haul video
some of my May favorites, both in the make up and skincare cathegories, won't be a surprise
because they have been featured in that video
but this is a confirm that I've been actaully loving them
in case you missed that video you can watch it by clicking here
Brilliant, let's start with the make up faves and it won't be a suprise to see that
the Anastasia Beverly Hill Soft Glam palette landed straight in this video
I loved the Modern renaissance one too and this is just as good
the shades are all amazing and allow to create many different looks,
they are all very pigmented, I particularly love the metallic ones
which have a great pay off especially if you wet the brushes
the downside is that the matt shades are a bit powdery and they have a some fall out
but nothing too annoying otherwise I wouldn't have featured it in this video
and another downside is that, as far as I know,
Anastasia Beverly Hills is not available in Italy
if you know how you can easily buy it online
leave a comment as I would really like to know that.
and while we're talking about palettes here is another one I used a lot, even this morning
to do my eye make up
and it's the Huda Beauty Mauve Obsessions palette
Once again the shades are lovely, they are more on the pink/burgundy side
with some amazing metallics and in general I love Huda Beauty palettes
I own another one from the Obsessions line, but this is my favorite
and it's also handy to bring on a travel, I highly recommend it
the Obsessions line is made of 3 or 4 different shade ranges, I hope I'm correct with this
if you are in sephora check them out and swatch them because these eyeshaowds are super pigmented and easy to blend too
I may have already featured this palette in a past favorite video
if so I apologize, but I really do like it a lot
Changing topic let's talk about concealers
with the Naked Skin concealer
I bought it because I heard good things about it
and I have to confirm the good reviews because I love it
it's lightweight, but it offers a good coverage
it's brightening, I went for the lighter shade, the fair neutral one
it's perfect to cover dark circles, to brighten the areas on our face
that we wish to brighten and to hide imperfections
it's longlasting and it doesn't crease, which is a great plus.
I like it as much as some of my all times favorites concealers
such as the Collections one, which sadly is not available in Italy,
or...was it the Rimmel one?
Well, anyway it's an amazing, amazing, shall I say it once more? Amazing concealer
an now, changing topic again, I have some make up sponges
I bought this Real techniques set a long time ago
and I kind of forgot about it until I found it in my drawer
I just dropped a sponge, I'll pick it up later
and I started to use them in May, I put back some dirty ones, which I'll remove because they are gross
the beauty of this set is that you get 3 different kind of sponges
this big one which is perfect to apply foundation or even powder
it has this flat side which allows to reach even the sharpest corners
this cute little ones
I had never used such tiny ones before and I'm loving them
because they are amazing to add concealer in the under eye area or around the nose
or everywhere you can't reach with a bigger sponge
they are super soft, maybe a bit denser than the Beauty blender
and I'm loving them
then you have this one which is the contour sponge
which I mainly use with cream contour products
and it has this weird shape that allows you to use it in many diferent ways
if you want you can find this on sale on Amazon, so they are easy to get your hands on
I think the set costs around 29 euro, I recommend it because
since I started to use them I left my Beauty blenders aside and this big one in particular
in my opinion works even better than a Beauty blender to get a higher coverage with your foundation
and this concludes the make up cathegory, let's move to the skincare
I have 2 skincare favorites and the first one is kind of unexpected
as I'm talking about the Caudalie Eau de beauté which I bought
out of curiosity, with the idea of using it to wet my beauty blenders
well I couldn't be more wrong as I soon found out that the best way to use it is as it should be
by spraying it onto the face to add moisture, it smells like ...
mint, I was looking for a more poetic way to describe it, but it actually smells minty
it's very refreshing on the face, very hydrating and very smoothing
which I wasn't expecting, even if it's written on the product
but I didn't believe it, while it's trurly amazing
I mainly use it in the morning when I exercize, because twice a week I wake up at 6 a.m.
and I exercize for an hour
and on those days, as I shower right after,
I prefer to simply spray some eau de beauté on my face to add some moisture
and leave my full routine for after my shower
so I fell in love with it, I recommend it and in Summertime
I think it would be perfect to have on the beach to refresh and add extra hydration
it's a lovely product!
my second favorite is the Filorga serum that I featured in my beauty haul
One of you recommended me to try a serum and after some researches I bought this one
I tried it and I'm loving it, I didn't notice any major improvements
but I guess it takes time to make a difference
but I love it because it's lightweight,easy to apply, it soaks in quickly, it refreshing
it also smells nice
which makes it lovely to apply and it gets along with all my creams
I've been using it twice a day for the past weeks
and the price/quality ratio is quite good
it's still expensive, but I assure you that there are some much more expensive anti age serum on the market
so this is a great choice.
I think that NCTF is a formula patented by Filorga
and it should include vitamin C and hyaluronic acid and all the anti age ingredients you would expect
if you're looking for a serum to try I recommend it
it's a good one.
brilliant, ooohh, I'm almost out of breath, c'mon, let's move to the nails cathegory
In May I bought some new nailpolishes
and I've got my favorite one on my nails right now
as it's in a shade I love in Spring and Summer
it's Essie turquoise and Caicos one
a turquoise shade and Essie's nailpolishes in general
are easy to apply, they offer a good coverage without having to add too many layers
and they last well, this is from the classic line by the way
so if you are looking for a bright and fun nailpolish for Spring and Summer
I recommend Turquoise and Caicos
Muy bien, now let's move to the tv series cathegory
In May I've been obsessed with Netflix again
basically it's the only thing I watched
I'm Netflix addicted
After I finished the series I was watching in April ....
Pretty Little Liars, I couldn't remember what I was watching last month, LOL
I became obsessed with 2 new series
If you watch Netflix you'll know the first one, Casa de papel
a spanish series which was recommended to me by some friends
and I actually loved it
and thankfully my husband loved it too which made watching it a lot easier
It's about a robbery in the style of Ocean 11 or Ocean 13
but as it's not an american serie it has a different vibe
it's very captivating, I loved all the characters, even the more negative ones
the season's finale is a bomb, but to be honest all the serie is a bomb
if you like this kind of series I recommend it
there are 2 seasons available on Netflix
and it's definitely worth watching.
the second favorite series is 3%, which if I'm not wrong it's a...
brasilian serie
I watched it in portuguese with italian subtitles
and I loved it
it's set in a distopic future, like Hunger Games or Divergent
it's set in Brasil and the society is divided between the mainland
which is very poor, like a brasilian slum
and the off shore or Mare alto in portuguese
this island where there's wealth, advanced medical care, food ect
the series is called 3% because every year all the 20 years old kids from the mainland have to go under a process,
that's how it's called in the series, an exam to be allowed to move to the Offshore
and only 3% of the kids will manage to pass
after taking some more and more disturbing tests
there's a lot more to the story, there's the resistence that fights this process, there are the good ones and the bad ones
even if they often switch sides
if you're into this kind of stories you can't miss it
Last, but not least something which is not a tv series
Will Smith Youtube channel! And you'll be wondering who cares?
I just say go check it out, I'll link it on my blog
I love his videos because he is not simply a celebrity who pretends to be a youtuber
but he actually turned into a youtuber, which means that the videos, inspite of being peculiar, are very relatable too
and he is a true motivational speaker, follow him in Instagram too
because everytime I hear him talk I find myself reflecting on my life
I highly recommend it, kudos to Will Smith as often celebrities on Youtube aren't very relatbale while
he is amazing
et voilà we made it to the end of this favorites video which I know has lasted
a century , bear with me, when I start to talk about the things I like I loose track of time
I hope you're still with me, if you are leave a comment saying I did it
let me also know in the comments which was your favorite item from this video
and if you have anything to recommend as I'm always on the hunt for new products
If you liked this video don't forget to give it a thumbs up so that I will know it
