Super late.
I'm sorry.
Speaking of July being half over, where the fuck has the time gone???? I've been going out of town and working a lot, and I've actually been sick for the past week :(
But I digress.
For the month of June, I really wanted to concentrate on bronzed and glowing skin. I don't spend a lot of time out in the sun (it's terrible for your skin.... too bad I didn't have that mentality like 10 years ago), so I need to pretend that I bask in the sun every so often. For the bronzed and glowy days, I really enjoyed using the Covergirl Tru Blend Bronzer and I doubled up with the L'Oreal True Match Lumi Liquid Glow Illuminator in C301 Ice, and the L'Oreal True Match Lumi Powder Glow Illuminator in N202 Rose.
My favourite moisturizer has been this Sephora brand Instant moisture + cream for quite some time. I do change up the moisturizer I use every so often, but I always come back to this one. It's fairly inexpensive, but there's 1.69 fl. oz (50mL) in there, and that's a huge amount for $25. I love the scent, and I really enjoy the fact that it has hyaluronic acid in it (which helps maintain moisture in your skin).
For setting my undereye concealer, I've reacquainted myself with my Maybelline Fit Me Powder Matte + Poreless in 100 Translucent. I find that it sets my concealer without being too cakey and it doesn't deposit any colour, so it's perfect for setting.
Foundation is a funny thing. I have a very difficult time finding one that matches both my undertone and my neck, as well as looks as natural as possible and doesn't break up on my face in a matter of hours. I should really invest in a high end foundation, but I'm pretty bad when it comes to overusing foundation, so I'm hesitant to throw money in garbage, so to speak. Anyways, I've really been loving the Rimmel Lasting Finish 25 Hour with Comfort Serum Foundation in the shade 010 Light Porcelain. My favourite on that matches me is in 091 Light Ivory, but I ran out of that at the beginning of June, so I went for the 010 shade, and have been bronzing a lot because it's slightly lighter than the 091 shade. I love the finish it has on my skin and it lasts most of the day. And you can get it on sale for like $6 at Walmart. So win win!
Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs & Rosewater has been a long time favourite of mine, and I'm pretty sure it's made a monthly faves once or twice. I really enjoy using this to give my skin a nice mist of hydration at any point during the day without compromising whatever else I have on my face. The scent and feeling are both very refreshing.
For my eyeshadow, I've been mainly using my Makeup Geek shadows and keeping it mostly minimal. These eyeshadows offer the quality (some would say even better) of a MAC eyeshadow with being 1/3 of the price. Since there has been such competition with eyeshadows being so affordable from brands other than MAC, they have actually dropped in price dramatically for their pans to be able to compare against the less expensive brands of eyeshadows. My favourite shadows are Peach Smoothie, Creme Brulee, Cocoa Bear, and In The Spotlight. I love how nicely they all fit in my Small Z Palette. I'd really love to get more one day, but it's so hard to choose what shades I want because I WANT THEM ALL.
MAC Costa Riche eyeliner is the BEST warm brown for green eyes. Enough said.
For extra sun protection for my eyes, and to look chic, I've been loving these sunglasses from Ricki's. I got them a few months ago in anticipation of wearing them in the Summer. I really love the ombre effect from animal print to teal on the rims and arms. And I like how the lenses are kind of ombre'd as well, but they're also cool toned, so I still see mostly true to colour when I'm wearing them.
And those are the products I couldn't live without for the month of June.
I hope you enjoyed, and I'll talk to you soon!!
Bye Bye :)
