10 reasons to get excited for May

If you thought you had nothing to look forward to in May, think again. There are a heap of beauty releases about to hit shelves - so many, in fact, that you’ll start loving these rainy weekends as they’re an excuse to stay inside and play around with products! Now it’s just a matter of saving up those pennies, because we guarantee you’re going to want at least half of these - if not all.
#1 Clinique Chubby Stick Sculpting Contour & Highlight
The Chubby family continues to grow with these two goodies launching in May. You can use them in conjunction with brushes for precise and defined lines, or glide them straight onto skin for a super-fast and subtle effect.
#2 La Roche-Posay Lipikar Gel Lavant
The cooler the weather gets, the hotter your shower becomes - which unfortunately isn’t so good for your skin. Thankfully, La Roche Posay is releasing this unique shower gel to protect your skin from the damaging effects of hot water, while keeping it nourished and hydrated.
#3 Shu Uemura i love my shu shu palette
This palette is sure to brighten up any gloomy autumn day. With seven eyeshadows of all different finishes, you’ll be able to experiment with a new eye look every Friday night.
#4 Clarins Body Shaping Cream
If you weren’t overly happy with your bikini body last season, now’s the time to start doing something about it. Apply this to your problem areas to reduce fatty deposits and tone up.
#5 Lancome Advanced Génifique Yeux Light-Pearl Eye Illuminator Youth Activating Concentrate
Dark circles and eye bags aren’t going to disappear overnight. If you want your eyes to appear bigger and more youthful, you need to add an eye cream or serum to your routine. This one from Lancome is a great pick.
#6 Batiste Strength & Shine Dry Shampoo
Hands up if you really hate the whole hair washing thing sometimes? Us too. Besides instantly refreshing oily locks, this new Batiste dry shampoo also strengthens strands AND increases shine. Talk about a multi-tasker.
#7 Physicians Formula Argan Wear Ultra-Nourishing Argan Oil Blush
Somebody call the pretty police! Physicians Formula has done it again with this stunning packaging. The blush inside will give the perfect winter skin flush, too.
#8 Natio Apricot & Orange 10 Minute Brightening Mask
Dull weather and dull skin makes for a dull overall beauty look. No, thanks. Add this new brightening mask to your Sunday night pamper session to keep your skin glowing and fresh.
#9 John Frieda Colour Refreshing Gloss
You know how your hair looks super shiny when you leave the salon? Well, this product is formulated to do exactly that for you, only at home in the warmth of your own shower. YAASSSSSSS.
#10 Valentino Valentina Pink
($115, 50ml, myer.com.au)
Speaking of pink, this matte pink bottle is TO DIE FOR. Even though it’s super sweet, the fragrance inside is actually a pleasant blend of fruits and florals. We’re in love.

I like any hair serums, but never tried John Frieda Colour Refreshing Gloss. Will check the reviews first :P Lancome Pearl Eye Youth Activating Concentrate is new to me, since I'm looking for something to prevent crows feet from coming, I am willing to give it a shot

Love that perfume bottle! I'm guilty of hot showers in the colder months so I'll be looking into the La Roche Posay shower gel.

Definitely want to get the Physician's formula blush - so gorgeous! and the John Frieda Colour Conditioning Gloss - what a great idea! I am so loving my John Frieda Intense After-Colour Conditioner so that would be a nice complement to my haircare regime. It would be nice to be able to prolong my haircolour a little longer.

Don't like john Frieda products for mry hair so will give that a miss. Fudge products are more impressive then you think. Got enough oils here though for now
