Hooked Onto : May 2017!

May gone! Whoa! Time is flying, isn't it?
Well with another month end comes a list of favourites! Here's what I have been loving all May :)
1. Skincare
I am a bit scared to change my skincare routine at the moment since my skin has been acting up again (due to weather change and stress I presume). The only new thing I used this month was the Innisfree Wine Peeling Jelly Softner.
This was purchased after trying out The Kookal Grape Scrub Smriti has (which sadly, is discontinued at the moment). I thought it would work in a similar way, which it does to a certain extent. It does manage to brighten up my face in a few minutes (will do a full review soon!)

The other thing is Help the Paw handcream by Anatomicals. How cute is the name! I am always in need of a handcream (my work gives me terribly dry hands otherwise). And I keep trying new ones. This does the job well and smells good!
2. Makeup
I loved using the Cargo Cosmetics blush in Tonga all of May. Mostly because it was a no brainer and goes with everything. Also because it is one of the softest smoothese powder blushes I have ever used. Pity it is not available in India.
Nykaa Nude Matte Nailpolish in Nutcracker Dreams was a fabulous buy and was sported a lot on my hands whenever I could that is. I also loved wearing colored eyeliners this month...strangely! Particularly this green one Vivid Envy by NYX (which I thought I would never wear!).
Will review all 3 pretty soon! Keep a lookout!
3. Munchies
These stir-it-up Hot Chocolate by Smoor was a fantastic find! All you hot chocolate lovers (who stay in Bangalore) do give this a try! I especially loved the mocha chocolate variant (coffee+cocoa = Love!). This has been my guilty pleasure off late :D
I also asked mum to send over her famous mixture of sorts. It has flattened rice, crispy onions, peanuts, curry leaves and some seasoning and tastes absolutely yum! It also makes for the perfect snack while I am studying! The best part? It has almost no oil! Win win!
4. Lifestyle and Others
I found this super cool blue reflectors at H&M Men and at approx 600 INR they were one of my best buys last month. You can see them styled in this summer outfit post. I never thought I would wear reflectors and blue ones that too, but these aren't super bright blue kinds and are super wearable!
I am also really getting into Bullet Journalling (have started Feb onwards, but getting regular and into the flow now). Do you want a detailed post on it?
Lastly, I have been loving old bollywood songs! Yes I have always been a big fan and have rediscovered them this month :) Maybe I will share a playlist soon (if you want it....let me know in the comments below)
So that is May done! What's on your favourite list?
xoxo,
