June Favorites



It's that time again for my monthly faves for June. This is when I discuss items I've most frequently used this month.

Beauty products: Revlon Custom Creations foundation, Revlon Colorstay in Brighten and in Sunkiss, BH Cosmetics 28 Neutral palette, L'oreal Voluminous Million Lashes mascara, Maybelline Falsies mascara, Maybelline Eye Studio gel liner, Mac pigment in Push the Edge, Sally Hansen Crackle Overcoat in Ink Splatter, L'oreal Youth Code Day lotion and eye cream, Garnier Ultra-Lift eyeroller, Montagne Jeunesse Peel-off Masque, Victoria's Secret Pure Seduction lotion, and Gucci's Flora.

Food: Don't mess with me and my hot-sauce popcorn and diet coke!! And I've been killing these $1 smoothies from Mcdonalds...I tried wild berry and mango pineapple. Yummy!

Shopping: I've been going to TJ Maxx and Target at an almost weekly basis...sometimes a couple times a week. This is because I have been shopping for all the things I need for my upcoming vacation next week to Phoenix, AZ and Las Vegas.

P.S. Feel free to let me know some of your June Faves.

Revlon Cosmetics Review


CVS has a 50-75% off sale on cosmetics about twice a year I think...and I was lucky enough to pick up a ton of makeup for very inexpensive. I bought stuff from various brands like, Wet n Wild, Covergirl, Rimmel, Maybelline, and Revlon. But the three things that I find myself using almost daily are from Revlon. I picked up Revlon Custom Creations foundation in Deep 060, Revlon Colorstay Mineral Finishing Powder in Sunkiss 030, and Revlon Colorstay Mineral Finishing Powder in Brighten 010. The foundation was 75% off and I got it for around $3 or $4, and both the Colorstays were 75% off at about $3 or $4 as well.

The Custom Creations foundation is a bottle separated into two compartments, one holding a lighter foundation, and the other holding a darker. There's a dial that you can adjust to customize your own perfect shade. There's five adjustments, 1 being the lightest while 5 is the darkest. I'm at a 3. I like this foundation for one because its perfect for spring-summer-fall transitions. I can customize my foundation for when I'm at the lightest to when I'm the darkest during the summer. It's about medium coverage, applies flawlessly, and would work for oily or dry skin. One con is that there's a possibility that this has broken me out. I've changed so many things in my makeup and skin regimen that I'm not sure what it is actually. All and all it was definitely worth trying out.

The Colorstay in Deep I use as a powder to set my foundation and its a perfect finish to my makeup, leaving my face looking sunkissed with a hint of shimmer. This would work well with lighter complexions as a beautiful bronzer or as a contour. I use the Colorstay in Brighten as a highlighter. This is gorgeous on top of my blush or bronzer, leaving my face glowy. This would flatter any skin tone.

MY MAY FAVORITES


Going to try something different on my blog this time, and add my favorite things of the month of May. So the things I’ve been loving and using almost daily is my L’oreal youth code. I’m getting older, so I’m trying to be preventative. I use the under eye cream every night and then I use the day/night cream all over my face. And in the morning I use the day/night cream and then I add the daily moisturizer after that. I also love my Olay Pro-X Advanced Cleansing System…and I use it every night to cleanse my face. If you are interested in the Clarisonic, I suggest you purchase this one for $30, instead of $150 for Clarisonic. My favorite lotions for May have been Suave’s Wild Cherry Blossom and Victoria Secret’s Pure Seduction. My favorite perfume last month was Kim Kardashian’s fragrance. I’ve been using my Physician’s Formula Happy Booster Blush in Rose almost daily, as well as my NYC bronzer powder in terracotta tan. I love my Maybelline Fit Me foundation in color 355. Another favorite is my BH Cosmetics 120 eye shadow palette. I can create endless looks with this palette. I’m absolutely obsessed with my L’Oreal Volume Million Lashes mascara. Last but not least for makeup faves is my Revlon Super Lustrous lip gloss in Firecracker.

My fave item of jewelry is my gold watch from Target (looks just like the new Michael Kor’s watches) for only $9! My fave song that I’ve had on repeat in my car is “Beautiful People” by Chris Brown. And the month of May has had me fiending over HOTSAUCE! I’ve been putting it on EVERYTHING lol. Well that’s my list of faves for May. Any questions about some of the items I listed above please let me know :)
