July Favorites

Monthly favorites, yay!

There are some things that I wanted to include but didn't because I don't feel that I've used them enough to really consider it a 'favorite'.

Just going to jump right into the products!

L.A Colors Art Deco Nail Art Lacquer in Silver Glitter and Black

These are the first nail art stripers I've tried and so far I'm really liking them. They're so easy to use for just doing a quick design or even help with something more detailed. 

Urban Decay Naked 2 Eyeshadow Palette

As I'm pretty sure all of you know, my boyfriend bought me the Naked palette last month and I'm extremely in love with it. It's so versatile and the colors are gorgeous. It has great blending, crease, highlight, and all over lid colors. So in love!

NYC Smooth Skin Translucent Pressed Powder

This is the main powder I use right now and I meant to include it in my June favorites and forgot. Bottom line, it helps to set my makeup and it helps to keep oil under control. I wouldn't consider it anything spectacular as it doesn't have any coverage (it's translucent) but it does do a good job keeping me "matte".

Renuzit Air Freshener in After The Rain

This is kind of random but I've always loved these things, especially the After The Rain scent. It smells so nice and fresh and all you have to do is twist the top up.

Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Deep Conditioner

I'm really loving this deep conditioner since I got it. I've used it before but I wasn't really that into hair care so I didn't really think about how it affected my hair I just kind of used it. I haven't noticed that it weighs my hair down and it leaves it so soft. I also really like the smell, kind of coconut-y.

Milani Liquif'eye Metallic Eyeliner Pencil in Black

I looove pairing this eyeliner with my Physician's formula eye booster eyeliner and it makes such a deep black. I did notice the first time I used it I started to get smudges which never happens with my physician's formula, so I knew it wasn't that, but I was also kind of greedy with the amount of primer I used and the second time I tried it everything was fine. (Also, I don't think my concealer was set in enough under my eyes.)

OPI Cuticle Oil Pen

I really like this cuticle oil pen because it's so convenient and quick. This is another thing I meant to include in my June Favorites. It gets rid of the dryness I can get around my nails and makes everything look soft and pretty. All I have to do is swipe and be done, so it's really great.

China Glaze Nail Polish in For Audrey and First Mate

I've really been liking these two colors and their formulas. First mate is pretty much opaque with one coat and is such a gorgeous dark blue. I've really been liking For Audrey, it's kind of reminds me of a more dull blue-toned version of my Revlon 'Minted'.

China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat

This base coat was definitely a step up from my last. It's thinner and not goopy and much easier to apply. However, it's not the best at preventing stains it does an OK job. If I apply two coats I can probably get away with no or minimum staining. I do feel like it makes my polish last longer though, with the help of OTD top coat,  of course.

Thanks for reading!
