June/July Favsies



    It's summer favorites time! My first favorite of the month is the Kat von D tattoo liner in Trooper. This liner is amazing if you want smudge-proof, all day stay power. It's a super hyped up product, and you know what? It definitely lives up to that hype.
    For my under eyes the Tarte CC Under Eye Corrector  in the shade light/medium. I love this cream for canceling out the blue/purple underneath my eyes from lack of sleep and super early mornings at work. 
    I haven't been wearing as much foundation so I use liquid/cream/gel blushes. I've really been liking the Josie Maran Coconut Watercolor Cheek Jelly in Pink Escape. The cheek jellies are very blend-able and give a really nice wash of color to the cheeks. If you want just a bit of color use a little, if you want a darker cheek then you use more product and do multiple layers. Same goes for the Stila Convertible colors. I have the shades Petunia and Hibiscus. 
    Another cheek product that has been awesome for the summer is the Temptu liquid highlighter in Pink Pearl. I just dab a little bit on my fingers and swipe it across my cheekbones and it gives a lovely highlight. 
    My lip gloss/lipstick obsession continues with two more items for this month, the first one being the Victorias Secret Beauty Rush  gloss in Royal. I picked this lippie up on a whim when I was doing some bra shopping and it landed up being only $2.50! Can't beat that awesomeness. The gloss looks like a bright purple in the tube, but it looks so lovely on the lips! I'd say it does keep its purple tinge, but it also looks pink at the same time.  Overall when I run out of this one I'd buy it again and maybe try other colors as well. I have yet to try a gloss that has amazing staying power and this one is no exception. After about a half hour, I have to reapply, so if you don't like non long lasting glosses this isn't for you. 
The Ulta Matte Lip Cream is so freaking amazing. Beautiful color in Striking stays matte and it actually stays on the lips for a decent amount of time. If you do land up eating it will come off on the inner part of your lips which I'm not a fan of. I also recommend putting on chapstick a bit before you put it on so your lips stay moisturized long after the matte cream goes on. 
   For my scent this month I've been all about the sample I received in my Ipsy bag called Classico by Jor'el Parker. It's a beautiful scent for summer and fall. The scent is a mix of musk and floral while being romantic and sexy.
