July Favorites!

I can't believe that it's already August! This summer flew by so quickly, I hope you all did some amazing things this summer. I have been feeling really unproductive for some reason, and i'm trying to definitely snap out of that since my college classes are starting back up in about a month! I have decided that I want to major in business because I believe it will benefit me in the long run in starting my own makeup company one day. I am excited to start this new journey and I would love to hear what you all are doing in the fall!

I worked A LOT in the month of July and beginning of August, so this month's favorite products are mostly things I was able to wear together to keep my makeup locked down through hours of humidity and sweating.  Let's get into the list!

1. Garnier BB Cream - this has been a life saver because I put it on before I apply my powder foundation and it keeps it in place and helps to keep my face looking flawless because it's tinted.

2. Pur Minerals Foundation - this powder has amazing coverage and definitely helps to absorb oil and sweat to keep my face looking less oily.

3. Urban Decay Primer Potion - I have been using this everyday to keep my eye shadow in place and it has been doing an amazing job. I know my eye makeup would be all over my face from sweating if I didn't use this.

4. Urban Decay Naked Palette - This has been my go-to for eye shadows this month. The colors are really natural looking and bright, so they open up my eyes and they definitely stay put when combined with the Primer Potion.

5. Kat Von D Setting Mist - I spray this on my entire face when my makeup is completed and it really locks down my makeup for the entire night. I honestly could not live without this product.

6. Bare Minerals Mineral Veil - This is also a last step product like the setting mist. I apply this to my whole face after my makeup is completed and it helps to keep the oil down on my face and give me a flawless look.

7. Elf Blotting Sheets - Of course in the heat, your face still gets a little oily. I use these blotting sheets to soak up the oil and they leave my face looking less oily and like I just applied my makeup.

8. MAC Lipsticks - I can't get over how long these lipsticks truly last. I can apply this before work and it literally stays on my lips for hours of working, talking, and eating. People always ask me what type of lipstick I use because it stays on FOREVER.

Well beauties, that is all of my favorites for now! I hope you enjoyed reading this and will try some of them. I would love to hear what your favorite products are and what you think of these products if you try or have tried any of them. Please send me requests for posts or tutorials that you want to see! I hope you all have an amazing rest of the week. Try to stay cool :)



Peace, Love, and Glitter
