June Favorites!

It's July!!!! I cant take it...I cant take how fast the months are going. Seriously, where did June go? Since this month truly zoomed by, not a lot changed in my beauty/skincare routine. This has to be my shortest favorites yet, and without further delay let's chat about these products!

OLAY Fresh Effects Swirled Mattifier

Can we have a moment of silence out of respect?

THIS STUFF IS AMAZING! So I first tried this product out when I received a sample in the March issue of seventeen magazine. I held on to the sample and tried it out last month and instantly fell in love so I went out and purchased the full size product. The claims on the packaging is that this is suppose to reduce redness and the appearance of pores. I cant say much about redness because I don't have a lot of redness. But I do have an issue with my pores and this does such a great job at blurring them out. I have such an oily t-zone which is a huge issue for me during the summer and this really does mattify my face. It makes for a great base for makeup, or if you want to wear it on its own that is fine as well. And it smells like mints & citrus, so refreshing!

Go pick one up...now! Only $9.99 at Target

NYC BB Radiance Perfecting Powder in "Warm Beige"

I've heard of BB creams before, but never BB powders. I was so intrigued when I saw images of this product floating around on the Internet that I had to go try it out. There are only 2 color options for this powder; Natural beige and Warm beige. I wanted natural beige because it seemed to match my skin color perfectly, but unfortunately the CVS that I went to only had one natural beige that was opened and messed around with. So since I have no patience, I bought the warm beige thinking I could wear it after I catch a slight tan this summer. To my surprise, there wasn't a huge difference once I applied it. I think this is one of those products that's suppose to adjust to the tone of your face and make it look all one color. I really love the texture of this powder, its velvety smooth and not flaky like other powders. It wears really well on the skin and makes my face feel so soft. I really love this product and I hope this isn't a limited edition item.

Check out your local CVS or any other store that sells NYC cosmetics. Walmart sells it for less that $4! Get your hands on these quick before they disappear.

Wet n Wild Max Volume Plus mascara

Considering that this is my first ever mascara from Wet n Wild, I am blown away. I do believe this is their latest mascara, and it probably is the best. From the wand to the formula, my lashes have been blessed. This mascara is also infused with Pathenol, which is suppose to help condition and strengthen the lashes. Sounds like a win win to me!

A closer look at the wand

The wand is so sleek and the bristles get in between every single lash and ensure that each and every one of the lashes are coated. The shape of the want also helps application easy since it narrows down the end, making it easy to coat the lashes by the inner corner of the eye. Works great for top and bottom lashes. Ive bee obsessed with this mascara and haven't even touched my other ones!

Best $5 you'll ever spend on mascara, get yours from Walgreens and take advantage of the BOGO 50% on all Wet n Wild cosmetics sale

NYX Tinted Brow Mascara in "Black"

I had to start filling in my eyebrows this month because when I went to get them cleaned up at the threading salon, I left with 1/3 of  my eyebrows. I don't want to discuss that tragedy because I will just get angry all over again lol

This "tinted brow mascara" is basically a brow gel. I really like it because it has a tint that covers any light eyebrow hairs. I like to sweep this on top of my brows once I fill them in with a pencil, or if I'm feeling lazy I just use this on its own and it looks fine. I like that it keeps my brows in place all day and doesn't have a harsh color.

Get yours at Ulta and grab one quick while they still have their 40% all NYX cosmetics!

E.L.F Mineral Blush in "Wanderlust"

Look familiar? Haha yes this is the blush I featured in my mini E.L.F. haul and I apologize for using the same pic from that post. I forgot to take a pic of this separately!!

So of course I have been in love with this blush from the first time I swatched it til now and probably all summer. Its so pigmented, and you only really need to pick up a little bit product. It gives such a beautiful flush to the cheek, it looks like your crush has been flirting with you all day long. Lol I'm such a cheesehead.

Check out E.L.F. to see the other shades they have.

CoverGirl Outlast All Day Lip Color in "Wine to Five"

#538 Wine to Five

Shoutout to IG personality @bae.doe for sharing her beautiful matte lips combo. She uses this CoverGirl lipcolor, which is basically like a liquid lipstick. It comes with a moisturizing balm that I tossed to the side because I wanted the matte look that @bae.doe gets and she said not to use the balm on top. This product could be a bit dry, so I suggest using a balm BEFORE you apply this, just wipe off the excess moisture and apply this muted pink gorgeousness. I really love how this lip color can be manipulated depending on what lip pencil you pair it with.

Here's a pic of me wearing the lip color on its own without any lip liner

I love how it suits every makeup look and is also just fine for everyday wear. Ive been wearing it non stop.

So that concludes my June favorites. I stuck around with my previous favorites for most of this month too, that's why this favorites wasn't as lengthy. but not to worry, Ive purchased some new goodies which I am so excited to try and I also have a skincare samples review coming soon. As always, I hope this was helpful to you lovelies and happy reading! xoxo
