Hi Everyone!
This is my first post on my Beauty Blog, and I am so excited to get started! Over the past couple of months I have been getting more and more obsessed with make-up. I have watched YouTube videos and really started to learn about good products, bad products, tutorials, and more! My favorite videos to watch on YouTube are hauls, reviews, and monthly favorites. This is what my blog is going to be devoted to! For my first blog, I wanted to do a really easy blog to show every what I have been loving in June!
Enjoy :)
It is the end of June, and it is time for June favorites! I can't believe it is almost July already. Where is summer going? Anyway . . . I went around and picked out 5 products I have been LOVING in June.
1. Smashbox Iconic Eyes Palette
Limited Edition and Online Only
sephora.com
$12
This product is phenomenal! I was very curious about Smashbox products; I hadn't heard too much about them. I thought that these were really great colors for every day looks. They have excellent pigmentation and blend extremely well. The palette includes a pink champagne color, a peachy color, an ocean blue color, and dark brown color. A little goes a long way with this palette. I have been so satisfied with this palette that when I hit pan on the peach and dark brown, I will definitely be purchasing another.
Would I buy it again? In a hearbeat! Buy it now!
2. Sonia Kashuk 5 Piece Brush Set
Foundation Brush, Smudge Brush, Crease Brush,
Shadow Brush, and Blush/Bronzer Brush
Target
$15
I have been using these brushes every single day since I picked them up. They are excellent quality brushes, especially for the price. I use the shadow brush every day on my lid, and I use the crease brush to buff color into my crease. The brushes help blend beautifully and they are really soft! I fell in love with the handle design after seeing them in a YouTube beauty video (www.amarixe.com).
Would I buy it again? Absolutely!
3. Essie Nail Polish -Sand Tropez
Ulta
$8
I looked EVERYWHERE for this color. I saw this color in Amarixe's Spring Nail Polish Picks video on YouTube, and I knew I had to have it! I discovered recently that my local Meijer actually carries Essie Nail Polish, however they were always sold out of Sand Tropez. I finally found it at Ulta and have had it on my nails ever since. This is a beautiful spring and summer color, and would even go great with some fall looks.
Would I buy it again? Yes!
4. Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush
20 Peach Satin
Drug Stores (I found mine at Ulta)
$5-7
This product was recommended to me by a friend as a great summer blush! I have owned Maybelline Dream Matte products in the past and have been very satisfied with them. I have fair skin with red undertones, so I have never really found a need to wear blush in the past. However, as my face tans in the summer, this blush adds just enough shimmer to give it a nice glow. Word of warning: if you have oily skin, this is probably not the blush for you. It definitely has a shimmer to it, which may make your skin appear more saturated than it really is. I have fairly dry skin, and this blush actually adds the perfect amount of shimmer for summer.
Would I buy it again? Probably!
5. L'OREAL Voluminous Million Lashes Mascara
Drug Store or Ulta
$5-7
This is the PERFECT going-out mascara. You only need about 1 coat for full coverage. This mascara gives lashes a dramatic look. I noticed a little bit of lengthening after 1 coat, but I definitely saw thickening! This is not my favorite mascara for everyday use, however, for going out, it is excellent for a sexy, dramatic look.
Would I buy it again? Definitely!
