July Favorites-Beauty Edition

Hello lovelies!

I thought I'd talk a little bit about some of the beauty products that I have loved during the month of July. 

LIPSTICK:


For the last month I have really been getting into wearing more and more lipstick. These have been the two that I have been absolutely loving. The first is a Lasting Finish by Kate in the color "Kiss of Life". While this appears to be a deeper red, it comes off fairly bright and gives an amazing pop of color. I usually wear it when I got out swing dancing to give myself more of a 50's style look. This lipstick is very pigmented and has a slight amount of shimmer to it and I find it lasts for my whole night out on the town! The second lipstick, more of a coral color, is a Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in the color "Siren". This lipstick has been more of an every day color, whether I am going to work or running into the grocery store. It is a little less pigmented than the Lasting Finish lipstick, so it leaves room to go a little more dramatic with your eyes. You do have to reapply this lipstick several times throughout the day as well. 


                                                                                                       FACE:


During the last month I have been wearing less make up on my face in terms of foundations, bronzers, etc. During the summer I am constantly getting tanner on my face and it's hard to keep up with products that match my skin tone. My staple products have been Revlon Colorstay Concealer in medium deep, paired with Rimmel London's Stay Matte pressed powder. These two products are enough to cover up any unevenness, blemishes or redness that I have happening on my skin. The pressed powder is transparent so it simply takes away any shine on your face without dealing with any color or tints. It's also nice in the summer time to keep your skin a little more bear and breathable on those 100 degree days.











For my eyes I have been enjoying Maybelline Eyestudio gel eyeliner. I find it very easy to control the thickness and placement when using gel liners. It really allows me to get an amazing cat eye that I am super pleased with. You get a ton of product as well so it will last you ages. For mascara I have been using Maybelline The Colossal Volum' Express cat eyes. This mascara gives you such a natural looking effect on your lashes. You get the length and volume all while everyone is thinking you aren't wearing mascara at all. These two combined together will give you the perfect cat eye that every girl needs.








                                                                                                       HAIR:


The final products that I wanted in my July favorites are a few that I have used on my hair. I have posted a few pictures on here, but if you haven't seen them, I have my hair done in an hombre. Because the bottom is bleached every 3 or 4 days I have been using BLEAch BLondes shampoo to keep it from looking unnatural and brassy. This product works amazingly and I receive many compliments on the color of the blonde in my hair. The product can be a little intimidating as it is a deep purple color, but it will work wonders on the color of your bleached blond hair. The other product is Tigi Catwalk sea salt spray. This product has saved me on so many days where I wake up late for work. After jumping out of the shower I scrunch some of that sea salt spray into my hair and it gives my hair great wave and bounce for the day. I also have applied it to dry hair that is just falling a little flat on the top layers. It also smells delicious in my opinion! 


I hope you enjoyed seeing some of my favorites for the month! Leave me your favorites in the comments or let me know if you have tried any of the same ones as me! 

This is a glimpse into my Wonderful Reality
