June 2012 Favorites.

Hello Beauties! Here's a few products that I showed a lot of love to in June. I was in the process of moving and traveling quite a bit so I only had a portion of my collection with me. I can say it was fun trying to create looks and only using what I had with me. Of the things I had, these are the things I used the most.

1. Make Up For Ever empty magnetic palette 

This was by far my favorite thing. Before I packed up my palettes I took out shades I thought I'd reach for the most. This is eye shadows and blushes compiled from 8 different palettes. I have MAC, Coastal Scents, MUFE, Inglot, and La Femme. My only gripe is the MAC magnets are terrible and the move around when placed in my suitcase. I need to pick up a lining for the inside.

2. MAC MSF - Red Head

This was a life saver because I did not really have an inner corner highlight packed in my palette so I used this quite a bit for that reason and to highlight my cheek bones as well.

3. MAC EDSF - Glorify

I think this is the prettiest thing I've bought this year so far. I absolutely love pairing it with my coral/orange blushes.

4. NARS Blush - Liberté  

 I really like the color of this blush. It is very unique to my collection and I found myself using it a lot this past month.

1. L'Oreal Paris Rouge Caress Lipstick - Violet Chiffon

I bought this at the beginning of June and used almost daily. It's a gorgeous color that reminds me of a toned down version of MAC's Up the Amp.

2. MAC Cremesheen Glass - Star Quality

This is a nice grab and go color for me. It's pigmented enough to wear by itself.

3. MAC Lipstick - Quick Sizzle

Love, Love, Love this pink lipstick. I need MAC to make it permanent! LOL

I also was loving Essie's Shine of the Times top coat (forgot to upload the pic). I really like the effect and how it give the nail polish a whole new look. I was hesitant at 1st because of the price but I'm glad I got it.

What were some of your June favorites? 

Thanks so much for viewing!

April Favorites.

Hello Beauties! I feel like these months are flying by so fast! My favorites rarely change from month to month so I tried reaching for things I would not normally use and here are a few products I loved in April.

April Favorites

Eyes

1. Sleek Makeup iDivine Eye shadow Palette - Curacao 

I reached for this a lot when doing my fun/bright eye shadow looks. The colors are really fun and pigmented.

2, 3, 4. Maybelline Color Tattoo Eye shadow - Fierce & Tangy, Bold Gold, and Tenacious Teal

I don't see how I forgot to mention these in last months favorites. I really love using these as a base to make my eye shadows pop. Of the shades I own these are my favorites.

5. MAC Extra Dimension Skinfinish - Glorify

Out of all the makeup I've purchased in April this is my single favorite item. I love, love, love the glow this gives. It goes perfect with all my blushes that I'm loving right now. I think it's safe to say it's my favorite highlighter surpassing Sleek's Rose Gold blush.  

Lips

6. MAC Cremesheen Glass - Delight

I recently discovered a pinky-nude lip combo that I actually really like and this is 1/2 to that combo.

7. MAC Kissable Lipcolour - So Vain

This was in last months favorites and I'm still loving it this month. 

8. NYX Xtreme Lip Cream - Strawberry Jam

I'm still loving this as well. I picked up more shades during that 40% off NYX sale Ulta had in April so stay tuned for that post

9. MAC Sheen Supreme Lipstick - Korean Candy

I really like this color, it's bold, bright and I really like the feel of the Sheen Supreme lipsticks. They are very smooth and creamy.

10. MAC Lipstick - Pink Pigeon

This is like my favorite pink lipstick ever. I love this like I love Russian Red (my favorite red lipstick ever). Just sucks that it's LE. *inserts sad face here*

11. Rimmel's Lasting Finish By Kate Lipstick - 08

This is the other half to the pink-nude combo that I really like.

12. MAC 109 Brush

Lately I've been more into contouring and highlighting and this brush is perfect for that.

March Favorites.

Hello Beauties! I have a real quick post here to show some of the products I used quite a bit during the month of March.

March Favorites

Face

1. MAC Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Powder/Pressed

I typically have normal/dry skin but with the humidity where I live my face (especially my t-zone) can get really oily and this keeps me dry all day. I actually carry this with me on days I'm going to be out for a while.

2. MAC  Mineralize Skin Finish - Redhead

This was my go-to highlighter this month. I love the subtle glow it gives my skin paired with Fresh Honey mineralize blush.

Eyes

3. MAC Eye Shadow - Arena

I love using this as a brow bone high light. 

4. MAC Pigment - Naked

This is my favorite pigment ever! I got it in one of the holiday sets with the small tubes that were a pain to use but ever since I put it in this jar from Michael's I use it in my inner corner daily.

5. Wet n Wild Color Icon Single Eye Shadow - Stage Drive

This is a beautiful blue eye shadow and it's really pigmented!

Blush

6. MAC Mineralize Blush - Fresh Honey

I really love this blush! It gives my skin a really nice warm glow. I wore this blush almost everyday and that's why it's only one blush this month, believe me I'm really surprised.

Lips

7. MAC Kissable Lip Colour - So Vain

This is more of an everyday color without having to wear actual lipstick and I stayed away from gloss a lot in March because the wind and my hair don't mix well with lip gloss.

8. Wet n Wild Mega Shine Lipstick - 24 Carrot Gold

This is a must have orange shade for Summer!  

9. NYX Xtreme Lip Cream - Strawberry Jam

This is a gorgeous, highly pigmented raspberry pink color and I love the formula of these way better than the matte lip creams. I need to pick up more shades.

10. Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter - Pink Truffle

This was perfect for me on days when I was not wearing any makeup. It's a "my lips but better" color and I love how these feel on the lips, just like butter.  

What were some of your favorites in March?
