July Favorites

Hey guys! So July has come and gone and August is now here! So lets get started on the month by a July Favorites post! So, if you are interested, keep reading to find out what I have been enjoying this month!

Makeup&Beauty:

Buxom Lash Mascara in Blackest Black

This is one of my all time favorite all time mascaras, it significantly volumizes and lengthens my lashes! This is not the waterproof mascara, but it does really well in holding my curl!

Dior Diorshow Waterproof Mascara in Black

Once I stole this back from my sister, I remembered why I loved this mascara so much. While the wand is extremely bulky, this mascara works wonders on my puny lashes. Plus, this is waterproof, which makes it work wonders for the summer time. 

Elf Studio Blush in Candid Coral

itsJudyTime on Youtube always raves about this blush so I had to pick it up! Needless to say, this is a really good everyday blush. It is a buildable blush, one where you won't be afraid to put too much blush on like my favorite (Pink Passion). 

Elf Studio Eyebrow Kit in Medium

Reviewed this product here and I have been loving this product this month! This has been what I have been using on my brows and I absolutely adore it!

Elf Jumbo Lip Gloss Stick in Movie Star

This is a nifty product that I got around 4th of July and I have been using it for the majority of the month! This color is absolutely beautiful, its a sheer red lip color that is quite buildable! I've been wearing red lips more often in July as a result!

Inglot Eyeshadow Matte 353 (Top Left)

This is definitely my newest favorite highlight color. I adore this eyeshadow for highlighting my inner corners of my eyes and underneath my brows. Currently my most used of the Freedom palette I have made right now! Used here for my FOTD Look.

Mac Eyeshadow in Woodwinked (Veluxe Pearl)

Probably one of my best purchases I have made yet for a single eyeshadow. While I know that there are dupes for Woodwinked, I couldn't resist purchasing the color that everyone raves about several months back. Once I started wearing this eyeshadow, I am pleased to say I made a good decision. I featured this eyeshadow in a FOTD here and it looks so beautiful when it is just swept across the lid. If I am in a rush nowadays, all I do is just use this eyeshadow and run out of the door!

Maybelline Masterprecise Liquid Eyeliner in Black

To this day my favorite type of eyeliner is liquid, even though I haven't found the perfect liquid liner yet. I just love how smooth liquid liner goes on, in comparison to pencil and gel eyeliner. This is currently the only liquid eyeliner I have in my collection (shocker!) and so as such this is what I have been using for the majority of the month. 

Rimmel Scandaleyes Kohl Kajal Waterproof Eyeliner in Nude

This eyeliner is perfect for when I want to make my eyes look brighter! I have been using this on days when I want to make my makeup look more natural, and this long lasting eyeliner definitely does the job!

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in Transparent

This does increase the staying power of my makeup, but it is not the best in my collection. Nevertheless, this powder is great for travel and still very good! I have been throwing this one in my travel makeup bag because of compactness and because I do adore it!

Scarzone Scar Diminishing Cream SPF 15

It's summer which calls for short shorts and skirts! Which, then of course, leads to me being more proactive on diminishing my scars on my leg. I don't use any other products besides this one, and it has worked really well for me in the past and continues to do so. This is a long time favorite, and I always end up remembering to use this when I am wearing shorts more often..and due to it being bikini season. LOVE.

Sephora Atomizer

I forgot how much I liked having perfume on me...and then I bought this. Needless to say, this is a godsend. I can now actually use perfume (instead of forgetting to like I normally do) because I always carry the atomizer with me! 

Wet n Wild Blush in Pearlescent Pink

The flash on the camera makes this look more pink than it truly looks in real life, but this is a really nice everyday blush that you can wear. It's also really nicely pigmented! I'm really glad I picked this one up, and now I'm tempted to pick up the last Wet n Wild Blush that I don't have...

Wet n Wild Fergie Take the Day Eyeshadow Primer

Posted a review of this primer here, and I honestly can't get enough of this primer. I can barely use up my Sephora primer because I have been using this one so much! It is just more convenient, and the lasting power of this is so much better!

Wet n Wild Color Icon Trio in Silent Treatment

Talk about a versatile little trio here. I am able to create both day and night looks with this palette, even used wore it for my Girl's Night Out Collab. The pigmentation is amazing and I absolutely love how this goes on the eyes. It's like a dream!

Random Favorites!

TV Show:

The White Queen

Someone is going to kill me when I said this, but I think I prefer this TV Show to the book. For me, the book dragged...a lot.... but this TV Show is just plain awesome! Of course, it hasn't airred in the US yet, so I've been watching it online (not that I could watch it at home anyways, cause we don't have Starz in our package) but I've fallen in love with the characters. Yes, it may not be the most historically accurate but its TV, what do you really expect for TV. This is also done in a woman's point of view, so there isn't an insane amount of violence/war at all...which is probably why the ratings aren't the highest in England (sad I know right...even though this TV show is geared towards woman). I do appreciate that the sex scenes are pretty vanilla (aka pretty mild in terms of modern TV) cause as much as I love Max Irons and all of his goodness, I do not want a TV show to be vulgar (we have porn for that folks). But still, if you don't like seeing anything sexual related, don't watch.

June Favorites

Another month has past! I definitely have a lot more favorites this month then last month, so come and check it out!

Makeup Favorites:

bareMinerals Eye Brightener in Well Rested

Doesn't matter what concealer I have been using, I always use this to set my undereye area. This works wonders on concealers that aren't full coverage, and it also works fine if my concealer is just my foundation. The hype for this product is totally worth it!

Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 Foundation in Medium Beige

Whenever I have been wearing makeup, nine times out of ten I have been wearing this foundation. I have a review of this foundation here and I cannot stop obsessing over it. It applies so smoothly, and it lasts all day. I have no idea what I would do without it!

Elf Studio High Definition Powder in Sheer

I've never used setting powders before but this one works so wonderfully! I do not get a white cast when I am using this translucent powder and this helps my makeup last so much longer! Of course it helps that this is only $6, in comparison to other high end translucent powders.

NYC Bronzer in Sunny

Summer equates to bronzing! I don't typically use bronzer any type of the year besides summer! This bronzer can be used lightly to warm up my complexion, as well as lightly contour my face! You can also not beat the price on this ($2.99)! This bronzer is a bit orange though, so I have to be careful using it. After the tan I should be getting this summer... this should be a better bronzer for me :B

Physician's Formula Matte Eyeshaodw Quad in Canyon Classics

Absolutely obsessed with this quad! I've never really used Matte eyeshadows until I got this palette, but  DANG am I missing out. This is a really good, pigmented neutral palette! I'm completely addicted!

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lib Stain in Honey

Leighannsays always raves about this product on YouTube, so I finally decided to grab it. Low and behold I have been wearing this lip product obsessively. Now I'm wondering, what happened to my bright lipstick obsession? This is so moisterizing! Although it doesn't last as long as the other brighter ones in the collection, I really don't mind that much! I am probably  going to end up picking up the rest of the collection after Project 10 Pan finishes... XD

Rimmel Scandaleyes Kohl Kajal Waterproof Eyeliner in Black and Taupe 

These are the two eyeliners I have been gravitating towards the whole month of June. Long lasting, and doesn't smudge on my oily lids! LOVE!

Rimmel Show Off Lip Lacquer in Celestial

If I am not wearing Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Honey, then I am wearing this! The only reason why there are no lip glosses in my favorites is because this is a lipstick and lipgloss hybrid! For some reason, I have not been gravitating towards bright lip colors, but to natural, your lips but better lip  products!

Random Favorites!

Favorite Song: I Love It by Icona Pop

Favorite TV Show:

Breaking Bad 

Talk about a smart TV show here! This show is about an overqualified high school chemistry teacher who sells meth in order to pay for his cancer treatment...and of course things in the drug world are never simple. As far as I can tell, the chemistry info is pretty darn accurate, and the writers have a masterful way of weaving the story together. Beware though, tons of violence and gore in this TV show, so I don't recommend if you are the squemish type!

May Favorites

Welcome to My Monthly Favorites! I am a firm believer in quality over quantity. While I do not have many favorites (6 beauty and 1 non-beauty), I can assure you that these products are just plan awesome. Scroll down to see what I enjoyed in the month of May!

Beauty Favorites!

Anastasia Beverly Hills' Brow Wiz

Ever since I got this, I've been using it nonstop! This has been my go to product for my eyebrows, it photographs beautifully and it lasts a long time when used with the Brow Gel. I posted a review on this product. 

Mac Lipstick in Brave

This is my go to nude lipstick (I even have a backup of this all set to go when I am finished with it!). This is a beautiful color that is more of a pink nude rather than a true nude. I absolutely adore this lipstick and there is no doubt that this will be in my empties soon.

Maybelline Baby Lips in Peach Kiss

I've never used Maybelline Baby lips until this past month and I have top say that I'm in love! I have never had anything this moisturizing as these lip butters. This is a very nice nice color with a bit of shimmer. Whenever I am not wearing my Mac lipstick in brave I am almost always just wearing this!

Maybelline the Falsies Flared Volum' Express Waterproof Mascara in Very Black

This is the first Maybelline mascara that I've tried and I'm in love! This mascara gives my eyelashes a nice boost in volume! My lashes are pretty non-existent and this is one of the best drugstore mascaras that I've tried! Waterproof is an essential for the Florida ; this mascara does not smudge one bit!

Olay Professional ProX Facial Cleansing Brush

I use this brush daily to both remove my makeup and cleanse my face. This brush has two settings, a regular cleanse and a deep cleanse. I know a lot of people are a fan of the Clarisonic but it is just to darn expensive :/ However, for those who are wanting something similar, I recommend you try this instead! 

Wet n' Wild Take the Day Eyeshadow Primer

I can not stress how amazing this eyeshadow primer is. The longevity of this primer is absolutely insane, I wore it yesterday and my eyeshadow makeup still looked as good as when I applied it....13 hours later (9AM-10:30PM)! I'm honestly tempted to try and see how long this primer can last before my eyeshadow creases...but I have a feeling that I might have to sleep with my makeup intact in order to find out. I highly recommend this product,  now that I have discovered it I will not even think about trying out either Two Faced Shadow Insurance or Urban Decay Primer Potion...it's just that good!

Non-Beauty Favorites!

Favorite TV Show: Jang Ok Jung: Live in Love

I am a huge fan of Korean Dramas, especially Korean historical dramas (sageuks). This is a story about Korea's most famous femme fatale, Jang Ok-Jung (who is also known by her title Jang Hee-Bin). She was a concubine who gained King Sukjong's favor during the Joseon dynasty (1392-1897). Here is the wikipedia page if you want to learn more about this drama and if you want to watch the drama, you can watch it on sites such as Dramacrazy or Dramafever. Currently there are 16 episodes to this drama, but it is still airing in Korea and has another 8 episodes to go before the drama is complete. Love this drama and I highly recommend it if you like historical dramas!
