May Favorites

So these are my May Favorites!!! Some of these products are just stuff I have had that I fell in love with all over again. Don't you love it when that happens???

Excuse the messy eyebrows. Also my camera couldn't capture the SHIMMER in my eyes but trust it was SHIMMERING!!

I absolutely love this sparkling shadow. This is one of the old favorites I was talking to you about. I don't know if you can still get it but it is from the Beauty Rush collection from Victoria Secret in the color 'Goldblinger'. This shadow is perfect for summer cause on those SUNNY days, it hits this eye shadow perfectly and you have a natural sparkle to your eye ;)

With Flash: more true to color

This blush gives you that perfect flush to your cheeks. It looks like you have been outside for a while (but with the bonus of not looking sweaty). The highlight part also adds a bit of sparkle to your cheeks. I like this blush duo because you can also use them individually or you can layer them or add one on top of the other (as you would when applying bronzer & blush). This also from VS in the color 'Fresh'

This concealer works wonders. Its Covergirl smoothers in the color 'Light' in the # 710. It does have a bit of a pink undertone. I bought it at my local drugstore (CVS, Walmart, etc) for about USD$7. It is a bargain and obviously does not compare to high end concealers but this does do the job for me. It hides blemishes and bags under the eyes.

What would summer be without any moisturizer? What I love most about this moisturizer is that it already has SPF 15 which is beneficial against those harmful UV rays. It does smell like sunblock, which I like because it reminds me of the beach :). I usually apply this right before I put on any type of makeup onto my face so I can have a nice, clean, and protected base/face. This is from Olay for Normal skin types

 

This is my ALL time favorite lip moisturizer. It has SPF 15 too and I feel like it stays on for HOURS! I usually put it on in the morning before going to class and by the time I come home, I still don't feel the need to remoisturize (unless I ate on campus that day).  Blistex medicate lip balm

Last but not least, powder! I usually don't like using any type of liquid applications on my face during the summer because it has the tendency to look streaky if you are outside for a long time. I say this because I don't know if you are like me, but in a hot summer day if I am outside for about half hour you can see the sweat running down my face (I know, I know... not a pretty sight). I usually apply this last and it gives a bit of polished look. My camera wasn't focusing right (poor thing was probably exhausted) but this is in the color NC30 from MAC - Select Sheer/Pressed

HAVE A GREAT DAY BEAUTIFUL!
