It's time for my monthly favorites! These are the top 8 things that I loved in May, from beauty products to songs to movies. I hope you like!
1. O.P.I. Nail Laquer in Pink Friday: I have been searching for Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday nail polish for months! Every time I went to Ulta or any other beauty supply store, it was sold out. I finally got my hands on it a couple of weeks ago and I am in love. I'm actually wearing it right now. It's the perfect shade of bubblegum pink.
2. Maroon 5- Payphone: Currently loving this song. I probably played this song over 100 times in my iTunes during May and prayed every time I got in the car that it would be on the radio.
3. Marvel's The Avengers: Marvel's The Avengers hit theaters in the beginning of May and I had to see it. My boyfriend and I have been waiting since Captain America for this movie to come out and it did not disappoint. It was funny and exciting and full of action. Definitely a must see for anyone who hasn't gotten a chance yet.
4. Soap & Glory Hand Food: I did a product review on Hand Food in the middle of May but I had to include this in my monthly favorites. It's the perfect hand cream and keeps your hands soft, smooth and hydrated. And it smells amazing!
5. Bobbi Brown Longwear Gel Eyeliner: I had been eyeing this gel liner for a while but it's a bit pricy at $22. Finally I decided to purchase it and am in love. I don't generally like to wear eyeliner in the summer because it gets a hot and humid and I usually end up looking like a raccoon by the end of the night, but Bobbi Brown was not kidding when she called this "longwear". It does not smudge even after hours of wearing it. It's the perfect liner.
6. Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James: Fifty Shades of Grey has obviously been the talk of the town as of late as I'm sure most of you have noticed. It's racy and provocative while still remaining a great love story. I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't read it yet. I absolutely loved all three of the books and am crossing my fingers, hoping that she decides to write another one.
7. Stop & Shop Dinosaur Snacks: Silly, I know, but I could eat a whole box of this Dinosaur Fruit Snacks in one sitting. So delicious. I really need to start eating healthier but I had to share these with you cause they are my favorite. I even pack them in my suitcase when I go to Myrtle Beach because they only sell them at Stop and Shop!
8. J. Crew Garment-Dyed Ankle Zip Toothpick Jean in Neon Rose: I am a major fan of colored jeans. I think I have about 5 or 6 pairs now. I don't even like real jeans anymore. These might be my favorite purchase though. They're the perfect pop of color for summer and super comfortable. I love the zipper on the ankle too.
Sequence was obviously a major trend at this years Grammy's. I absolutely loved Katy Perry in this sky blue Elie Saab dress. The deep V in the back was stunning, as was the applique that covered the dress. Elie Saab has been having some major moments. Remember that lavender gown Mila Kunis wore to the Oscars last year? Anyways, loves it! And I didn't even mind her matching blue hair. She totally pulled it off. Kelly Osbourne looked beautiful as well in that one shouldered metallic gold sequined Tony Ward couture dress. It fits her body perfect and I think her lilac hair looks amazing with it. She looks awesome! Oh, RiRi. I usually don't have good things to say about what Rihanna wears but I think she killed it this year. The deep plunging neckline of this simple black dress could've been a little too much but I think it looked va-va-voom on her. She co-designed this one of a kind dress with Giorgio Armani and said she was going for Michelle Pfieffer in "Scarface". And the always gorgeous Carrie Underwood. I never have anything bad to say about her. She always looks like perfection. I love the white Gomez Garcia dress she wore with its cutout back. She always looks so elegant! I love her. These ladies looked fabulous and definitely rocked it.
Now onto "What the hell were they thinking?" Seriously though, what the hell were they thinking? My mom called me in from the other room to see how ridiculous Fergie was dressed. Even famous designers make mistakes. I'd love to know how this Jean Paul Gautier dress was worn on the runway. I don't know how anyone could make something bright orange and see through be attractive. Adam Levine, you can do no wrong.. but your girlfriend can! I think the difference between being sexy and slutty is the amount of skin you show. This is just overkill. Granted Anne Vyalitsyna is a Victoria Secret Angel and is gorgeous, this dress is just too much. Dislike! I was going to do all dresses that I loved and hated but then I saw Rick Ross and just had to throw him in the bunch. You couldn't get a little more dressed up? And Nicki Minaj. I love Nicki Minaj. Major fan over here. I know she's known for her crazy Gaga-esque style but I just can't deal with this. She looks like Little Red Riding Hood in this Versace gown. Maybe that's what she was going for. Hated all of these! Definitely my least favorites. C'mon guys, you can do better!
