August 2017 Monthly Beauty Favorites


August Monthly Beauty Favorites: 




FACE:

I received this First Aid Beauty Mattifying Gel in my August Ipsy Bag and I've been loving it  ever since. I'm almost out of this sample because I've been using it just about everyday as my face Moisturizer. I love the gel consistency and that there isn't an overpowering scent to it. 




My August Ipsy bag was a hit because I'm now mentioning another item I received in it. My skin redness has been ridiculous lately, so I've really been getting a lot of use out of the Aurora Pro Color Corrector in  the shade Pistachio. This is a light green corrector which is great for redness. I mentioned all of that in my previous Ipsy Glam Bag "unboxing" that I will link below. I love this product! 






My two go-to foundations that I've been reaching for this past month is the (once again) L'oreal Infalliable Pro-Matte & Maybelline Dream BB Pure. 

L'oreal: I love this one on days when I want more of a coverage on my skin and a more matte look. It really does have great coverage and is one of my favorite formulas of foundation. 
Shade: 101 Classic Ivory 


Maybelline: This one is actually just a BB cream and not an actual "foundation",  but I wear as a foundation over my moisturizer and primer. It is a sheer to light coverage which is normal for BB creams. The fact that it is a BB cream means it helps clear up some of my acne while giving me a slight glow/coverage. I love this for the summer time.
Shade: 110 Light/Medium Sheer Tint 











I've had this Nude Rose Sculpt & Glow Palette by Bh Cosmetics for months now, but I just now got it out to try it out. I will have a little "mini Review" on this item soon so I don't want to give too much away, but it did make my monthly favorites! 



Tarte has done it again for me. I swear there hasn't been a product by them yet that I haven't enjoyed. This is their highlight in Exposed. This is definitely a buildable highlight, but if lightly used it can be just a natural glow look. 














EYES:


These two have been what I've been reaching for a lot this summer. I actually have a "palette review" on one of them and a "tutorial" using the other. I'll link both of those below. I say enough in both blogs about these gorgeous palettes, but I really enjoyed using these this summer and experimenting with more pops of colors in my looks. 



I also wanted to start mentioning brushes that I love using in my monthly favorites. This is probably "hands down" my favorite eye brush. This is the Vegan Crease Blender by XO Beauty. It is such good quality and I really have no complaints with any of the brushes I've ordered from this brand. This has just been one of my top favorites for awhile! It blends shadows like a dream. I really recommend XO Beauty brushes. 











I've actually sat aside my ABH Brow Definer and have been using this old favorite of mine. This is the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Powder Duo in Taupe. This used to be the only thing I would use for  my brows until I finally stepped out of my comfort zone to try more of a pencil brow product. I want to branch out more with other brands brow items, but I've been really content with my ABH products. 



I haven't been wearing a lot of eyeliner this summer, but for those few days here and there I've been using this Ciate London Fierce Flicks. This is a felt tip liquid liner in a black shade. I really like this one because it goes on smoothly and is really easy to use with the felt tip. This is a good one for "winging" out your liner! 









LIPS: 

I've had more of a variety of lip products to share. I've used liquid lipstick, gloss, and regular lipstick a lot this past month. These are all great quality and brands I like using. These are a few of the ones I have been wearing most.

Tarte [Make Believe in Yourself] Mystical Dreamy Blues Tutorial

 Tarte [Make Believe in Yourself] Mystical Dreamy Blues Tutorial  I recently did a review the Tarte Make Believe in Yourself   eyeshadow palette. In that review I shared some looks that I created with it and will be sharing each of those tutorials with you. First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream. I started this look by prepping my skin with First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream. I used this because my skin was so dry! I followed that up with Physicians Formula Primer Argan Wear (with coconut and argan oil). I used that as my primer today.  I also used some color corrector concealer from the brand Aurora in the shade Pistachio. This is a new favorite of mine! I love how well it covers up any redness or blemishes. This was mentioned in my last Ipsy blog (I'll link below).  Physicians Formula Primer Argan Wear Aurora Pro Color Corrector (Pistachio).  EOS lip balm I moisturized my lips with some  EOS lip balm and ...

Makeup Monday // JSC Jawbreaker + Mini Breaker

Makeup Monday // JSC Jawbreaker + Mini Breaker I wasn't sure if I'd bring palettes back to my blog or not since they're discussed so much on my channel , but for sake of a pretty photo-op moment, I'm doing this. Ha!  I'm usually over the moon for every Jeffree Star Cosmetics launch and this one wasn't any different. I feel like only Jeffree could make a palette this full of insane colors and get away with it. With that being said when opening the Jawbreaker palette I can honestly say I did feel a little overwhelmed which is weird because I'm not one to shy away from color. I think it can still be challenging finding the right shades to put together to complement each other, but I can say once you dip into the shades that feeling goes away quickly. It's not as intimidating as you think it is. I created four colorful while still bring wearable looks with the Jawbreaker and had fun each day picking the palette up. I love being excited to do ...

Skincare Reviews // Coola, Vasanti, Clinique, Avatara, & I Dew Care

Skincare Reviews // Coola, Vasanti, Clinique, Avatara, & I Dew Care Coola Sport White Tea Moisturizer SPF 50   $32 I took this gem with me on vacation and it did amazing! With an SPF 50 I didn’t have to worry about getting my face burnt. Who wants dry, red, and peeling skin when you have videos to film and blogs to get done? Not me! I took my skincare very seriously and this item made it super easy! Although, this has SPF is was just a moisturizer. It also felt just like a moisturizer, not oily, greasy, or film-like at all! It sank right into my skin and kept me protected. I can also say this worked with my sensitive skin well and didn't break me out at all! If you're fair, burn easily, and have sensitive skin I really recommend this product. Even if you don't, I recommend this as a great SPF moisturizer that everyone could benefit from.  Vasanti Brighten Up! Enzymatic Face Rejuvenator $29 I tried this product sometime last yea...
