July 2015 Beauty Favorites

Hey guys!

So recently I've really been into beauty products. Okay, I've always been into them but I've just gotten even more into them recently so I thought at the end of the month I'd have a little round up of specifically beauty products that I loved. :)

So for face products this month, I've been using the Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse Airbrush Finish Foundation in the shade Porcelain Ivory. This is an old product and it's actually a little too light for my skin now, but I don't think it's that noticeable so... I actually cannot find this product on their website for some reason. There is a Dream Liquid Mousse Foundation there but not the Airbrush Finish one, however it is still available on Amazon. I've been using my beauty blender to put that on. And to set the foundation, I've been using the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in the shade Nude Beige. And for highlighting I've been using the YvesSaintLaurent Touche Eclat in the shade Radiant Touch. I also use this as an under eye concealer sometimes. Finally for bronzing, I've using the Rimmel Natural Bronzer in the shade Sun Dance and I've been using the E.L.F Bronzing Brush to apply it.

For eye make up, I've been using the MAC Haute & Naughty Too Black Lash Mascara, Milani Shadow Eyez 12 Hr Wear Eyeshadow in the shade Champagne Toast and 2 different eyeliners. I've really been loving the look of golden eyeliner and green eyeliner on my waterline. The green eyeliner really brings out the green in my eyes and makes them pop whereas the golden is really subtle against my skin but it's still noticeable and I just really like it. So for my eyeliners, I've been wearing the Colorbar Glide Eye Pencils in the shades Golden Glam and Jaded.

 

For my lips this month, I've really been loving MAC's New York Apple. It's a dark muted red with a pink shimmer in it. It's quite smooth and has a glossy effect as well.

What were your favorite beauty products this summer?

Double Eyeliner

Hey guys!

So this has been sort of a new, fun trend this summer. In case you don't know what it is, it's when you put two layers of eyeliner on your eyelid. They'll be of different colors of course. I've seen and heard of it but never did it before and so this morning I decided to try it out! I used gold and black. Here's out mine ended out:

Haha my eyes look kinda creepy in that second picture. Oh well...

Anyways what to do if you wanna try this out:

1. Pick two colors (I suggest black and another lighter color)

2. Apply the darker eyeliner on your eyelid like you would normally do.

3. Apply the lighter eyeliner directly above or slightly overlapping the previous eyeliner.

That's it! It may not look perfect at your first try, but practice makes perfect right? :P Anyways, let me know what you think of mine and show me if you try it out yourself.

Quote of the Day #4 - Yesterday's

Hey guys!

Here is yesterday's quote of the day. It's really frustrating because I had it all typed up and all, but it didn't post for some reason, so now I have gone back and edited everything. Anyways here's the post!

In honor of Audrey Hepburn's birthday, yesterday's quote was a quote by her! :)

I think that's a good quote because it's so true. I mean, maybe not for everyone, but if you really want those things just listen to her. Though, everyone's eyes and lips are already gorgeous. Though to be gorgeous inside and out, listen to her! You understand? Or am I just confusing everyone and making no sense whatsoever?

Baby Lips

Hey guys!

I decided to write a review on Maybelline's Baby Lips . Here you go.

I adore Maybelline's Baby Lips. They're absolutely amazing. I never go anywhere without them. They're my favorite lip balm.  It makes my lips super soft. All my friends use Baby Lips as well. I don't know a single person who doesn't like Baby Lips. They're just that fabulous. Each have they're own scent and color. None of the colors are that strong that it's like you're putting on lip stick which I really like. They add some color to your lips but they're very subtle. They keep your lips moisturized for a long time as well.
There's only one problem that I can think of and that's the fact that I lose them very easily. But that's probably just me. I lose all my other lip balms as well so that's not for Baby Lips only.
For my friends' birthdays and going away presents I have bought them entire collections of Baby Lips. And each and everyone of my friends where super excited.
If you haven't tried Baby Lips before you should definitely go and buy some, you'll love it!
