June Beauty Favorites


Mac Impassioned(Amplified Cream) - This little lippy is just such a perfect summer color! I can’t get enough of it!! It can look pretty intimidating in the tube but once you get it on it is super wearable and gorgeous. I get compliments  on this lip color every time I wear it. I also haven’t found another quite like this one, which makes me like it even more. (The pictures are not even close to doing it justice. I’m going to have to get some better pictures.)
 
Stila One Step CorrectPrimer - I have been using this little wonder for a few months now and I love it more and more every time I use it. I have never really been impressed by a primer before. Somehow this little magic wonder knows exactly which areas of my face need what and adjust accordingly. This not only evens out a lot of my redness, brightens, and handles any other discoloration but it really makes my foundation go on so smoothly and stay in place. It feels hydrating and nourishing without being oily or heavy feeling.  I even wear this sometimes if I’m not wearing foundation just to even out my skin. I LOVE IT!
Cover Girl LashExact Mascarain Very Black - I am thinking they are discontinuing this wonder product! It started getting hard to find in store so I have been stocking up whenever I come across it. It looks like I can still get it on Amazon though.. chalk up another win for Amazon!  I have been using this mascara for years and years and it never fails me. It is so much nicer than even high end mascaras and I don’t know how I’m going to find a replacement for it. The only mascara I’ve found that I even sort of like (drugstore and high end) is the Benefit They’re Real! Mascara. If you have any suggestions leave them in the comments below. 
Laura Mercier Smooth Finish Foundation Powder - This powder makes everything else I’ve used look like child’s play. I use it to set my foundation and it is amazing. It goes on so smoothly and you can build it up without getting any cakeyness whatsoever. My foundation shade is really difficult to match and this somehow balances most of my foundations perfectly so the color is on point. It adds just enough coverage and a beautiful finish to the skin. My other face products blend so smoothly over it. I can’t say enough good things about this little gem!
Johnson’s Baby CreamyOil Cocoa & Shea Butter - This lotion is inexpensive and it works wonders on my sensitive dry skin. I didn’t use this during my pregnancy with Alaeyna and even though I was 10 pounds smaller I got some pretty intense stretch marks. I really attribute that to the products I was using. I used so many other lotions for my belly this time around and none of them even compared. This and the mommy oil do wonders for my skin and I refuse to be without them ever again.
GlamGlow PowerMudDualCleanse Treatment - GlamGlow is my favorite when it comes to masks! As soon as this came out I had to get my hands on it.. or it on my face! Haha sorry too much? Glam Glow did not disappoint with this addition to their impressive line. I just can’t even say enough good things. My skin hasn’t felt so deeply cleaned and yet refreshed and hydrated at the same time since.. well I can’t remember when it has felt so wonderful. Sign up for their email list or follow me on Instagram for coupon codes. I usually try and post them when I get them or find one. These masks are worth every pretty penny. You can read all about it’s amazing wonderfulness on their site.
First Aid Beauty (FAB)Face Cleanser - I have very sensitive skin and have rosacea which is usually mild but can flare up in an instant. Not only does this face wash do its job well but I have noticed a huge difference in my redness and healing spots on my face. This keeps my skin clean and wonderfully calm at the same time. Bonus is that it removes eye makeup easily and thoroughly as well.
OPI I Just Can’t Cope-Acabana - So fun and summery without being the typical pink or coral color. It lasts quite a while and goes on beautifully. I love painting this color on my toes and so does Jocalyn. It seriously looks so cute on her little feet!
MAC Lipstick in Pure Heroin - Go check out the Lorde collection at MAC right now! It is only online and consists of a lipstick and eyeliner. I really like both products but especially the lip color. It is called Pure Heroin and I have only worn it once since it is summer right now but once fall rolls around I know that it is going to get a lot of use! If you want to see swatches and a comparison of Pure Heroin and Heroin check out my post here.
