May Favorites 

Hello Lovelies. I'm Jordan Nicole :) May has been a great month for me. Something about those summer vibes. Even though it rained here almost the entire month, there were still some really beautiful days. I am looking forward to what the rest of the summer has in store for me. Here are a few the things I was really loving for the last month! 

Fashion

High Waisted Adjustable Bikini Bottom 

I ordered this bottom online from American Eagle a few weeks ago. I have been looking for a high waisted black bottom for a long time and was very excited to find this. I really like the adjustable element. I even got my best friend Amanda to go out and buy a pair after she saw mine :) 

Accessories

New Cartilage Earring 

After my last final I wanted to do something spontaneous. I thought about all of my options and very quickly landed on finally getting my cartilage pierced. I left my apartment, got in the car, and went straight to Claire's. Fifteen minutes later I am walking out with my brand new piercing. I already had my cartilage done on my left side but I got this one lower down on my ear. I have a few friends who have it there and just thought it was so cute. I love it so far. It is still healing but I think it is going to be so cute with another earring :)

Beauty

Maybelline Fit Me Matte & Poreless in 112 Natural Ivory 

I had been hearing about this foundation nonstop lately and when Kathleen even mentioned it on her channel, I knew I needed to give it a chance. I was very pleasantly surprised by it when I finally did. The coverage of this foundation is a good medium without feeling as if it is. It is light on the skin and feels very breathable. The claim of giving a matte affect is not false either. It does add a matte look to your skin, which I appreciate, though in the summer I tend to go for more of a dewy look with me skin. I think this will be my perfect fall/winter foundation. My favorite element of it is that as you blend it with your brush it almost starts to feel more like a power and dries to easily. I don't have to let it dry before I put of my powder. It is such a cool formula. For any of you with really dry skin, I'd be sure to use a moisturizer or a primer before using it, but I think it would work for you even. Plus another bonus in this line is that is offers shades that are very light. Sometimes when you are really pale it is hard to find a good shade, that isn't too dark. This range is considerate of that.

Urban Decay Half Baked Eyeshadow

Half Baked has always been my favorite Urban Decay eyeshadow. It is in my Naked 2 palette, which I purchased a very long time ago, and it is in my Naked palette. It is my most used shade from the two, but in the past month it has been my most used shade from all of my palettes. My favorite Youtuber, Zoe Sugg, has been rocking a lot of gold eyeshadow and it has just rubbed off on me. It is such a pretty look in the summer time :) She even did a great tutorial on a gold eye and coral lip look. You should head to her channel and watch it if you haven't yet. This gold is perfect for any eye color and will make them stand out, guaranteed. 

Entertainment

Castle

My cousin Ellie has recommended Castle to me for years. I love Law & Order and Bones so it just seemed like a show I should have been watching. Well this month I decided I wanted to start but it isn't on Netflix or Hulu. I checked how much the first season was on iTunes. It ended up being $15 and so I bought it, figuring that if I didn't like it then it wasn't to much money wasted. It turned out to be a great purchase. I am now on season 5 in just a few weeks. School has been done so I've been taking some down time. It's a great show. Funny, witty, quick. The chemistry between Beckett and Castle is just phenomenal too. 

Girl Online by Zoe Sugg 

I have had this book since it was released but I just hadn't gotten around to reading it. I finally started it this month just before I went on vacation to Washington DC. I brought it with me and finished it on the trip. It is such a cute story and a great read. I am really looking forward to the second book coming out later this year. I love Zoe Sugg, she was the first person who really hooked me on Youtube a few years ago. I think she is immensely talented and that shows in her book. The paperback is coming out later this year as well, so if you don't want to spend the money on the hard cover then you could wait for that :) 

Amber Fillerup's Instagram 

Amber is a Youtuber & Blogger who has a wonderful talent with braids. She has the cutest little family and I follow her on Instagram. She travels the world with her husband and little boy. She posts so many gorgeous pictures of her adventures. Her Instagram isn't the only thing worth checking out though, head over to her channel too. She has amazing hair tutorials!

The May list of favorites isn't very extensive but that's just how it goes some months. I have been very busy with school ending and then going on vacation to Washington DC. I fell behind on here a bit but I will be catching up all summer long. I hope that if you graduated in May that you got to celebrate your accomplishments. You should be proud! If summer has started for you then I hope you are enjoying the sun shine and summertime :)
