♡JUNE FAVORITES♡

Hey cuties!
Every month I'm going to be doing a post on my monthly favorites so this is the post for June and hope you enjoy!


Here are a few of my June favorites!


I'm gonna start off with this Maybelline Baby Lips in Cherry Me. This product made it to my June favorites because I love how it leaves a tint but doesn't completely look like lipstick. It is a lip balm with a slight tint and I can pass it off as a lip gloss sometimes. This item is just so versatile and it does moisturize my lips as well. 


This is another lip product that I love. These lip balms do seem to be pretty famous this summer and I had to get one myself I am an absolute lip balm addict because I don't really like lip gloss or sticky lip gloss. This is in the strawberry scented EOS lip balm. 


I know I just said I don't really like lip gloss but on occasion I do put on some and this one from Forever 21 is perfect for me because it does make my lips glossy. This one is in the bubble gum scent. The lip glosses from Forever 21 are also inexpensive which is great. I do have to admit the only bad part is that I always have to be reapplying this lip gloss because it does dry up pretty fast.



Moving on from lip products, the next product on my June favorites is this blush from bareMinerals. This is the READY Blush in the shade THE APHRODISIAC. I love this blush because it really is noticeable on my face but looks completely natural. This blush does come with its own personal brush.


This matte foundation is perfection. I've been using it so much and the coverage is perfect. This product is also from bareMinerals and is the MATTE Foundation in medium beige. This foundation also has SPF 15 which is good for me because here in SoFlo we do catch a lot of sun. 


This mascara is from LANCOME and is black. This mascara definitely adds length to my lashes. I am going to have to go back and buy a new one because it was a sample size but this was such a great product for me. 


Another mascara I've been using a lot this month is Maybelline's Great Lash clear mascara. This mascara is doesn't clump my lashes and makes them thick. The only thing is that this clear mascara doesn't really lengthen my lashes.



This eye shadow palette is from ESTEE LAUDER and is called the Pure Color Eyeshadow. It has eight different eye shadows included. The palette brings its own brush. Starting from left to right on the top I'm going to name the eye shadows that it includes: the  first two are both called Waves, Tranquil Moon SATIN, and Amethyst Spark SHIMMER. The bottom from left to right: Amazing Grey SHIMMER, Sugar Cube SATIN, Purple Passion SATIN, and Tempting Mocha SHIMMER. I've been using this eye shadows because they do have bright and neutral colors included which is great for summer.


I got this cute make up bag for free when I purchased a few items from Estee Lauder. I love the colors on this bag and it's able to fit everything I need.


To take off all my make up I use this face wash from Olay. I am absolutely in love with this face wash. I have tried so many different face washes and they just leave my face really dry. This face wash doesn't. 


Whenever I do need a face moisturizer I use this one from LANCOME and it's called Nutrix Royal. This is a new face moisturizer that I've been using but it has been doing the job.

  
This lotion made my favorites mainly because of the smell. I love scented lotions. This is from the Signature Vanillas line and is in the scent lemon. It's from Bath & Body Works.


Another Bath & Body Works product that I love is this fragrance mist in the scent TWILIGHT WOODS. 


I know it's weird including a conditioner but I love the smell of it and that's why I've included it in my monthly favorites. The scent is Tropical Coconut. 


These nail polishes have made it to my favorites this month because of the color. I've been wearing these colors all month long. The one on the left is from Essie and it is called To Buy or Not To Buy. The color is a very pale blue/purple with a little bit of shimmer. The nail polish in the middle is from PRONTO and is called Tosylamide and the color is a little darker than a French manicure pink but perfect for summer. The nail polish on the right is from Sally Hansen and is called Lacey Lilac. 


My last item are my heart shaped sunglasses! I've been wearing them non stop and they're so cute.

That's all for my monthly favorites I hope you found it useful or just enjoyed!

Stay Cute!

♡WHAT'S IN MY BEACH BAG♡

Yesterday I spent a beautiful day at the beach with family. I decided it would be perfect to do a 'what's in my beach bag' post.


These are just some of the essentials that I brought with me yesterday. I didn't bring much beauty products because I went inside the water and planned to stay in most of the time. 


To start off my beach bag is from Old Navy. I bought this bag a couple of years ago to use it as a regular bag but realized it was too big and I didn't have much to put it in it so I decided to use it as a bag I would use to go to the beach. I love the color and the green rope adds something to the bag. The pattern is also unique and exciting. 


Of course water is an essential for me. It's good to keep hydrated while at the beach especially if you decide to go in the salty water really makes you dehydrated. I've recently discovered how good it is to put lemons inside your water and the benefits of it. Here's a link explaining the benefits of it.



These heart-shaped glasses are adorable! I love them so much. A friend gifted me these sunglasses and I use them all the time. They're very versatile. It's easy to find these type of sunglasses at any clothing/accessory store since they are very in this summer! But I advise to buy them online on amazon because they are very cheap there unless you want quality glasses. I always end up losing or breaking mine so I don't like buying very expensive sunglasses. Here's a link to similar ones.



These are some of the beauty products I brought to the beach yesterday. I forgot to bring my lotion but that is usually a must because the salty water dries up my skin. The green bottle 'alba' is my face moisturizer because my face also becomes really dry. Of course I brought my brush. My hair gets really tangled up and right after I come out of the water and I like to brush it after. I bring my body splash everywhere I go just in case of an emergency and this particular one is from Bath & Body Works. My last item is for my deodorant. I brought this just in case as well and it is the brand Dove. 


I have another beauty product that I brought with me yesterday and it is my eos lip balm. I always have a lip balm on me and is an essential.


This cute floppy hat is from Cotton On. It's cute and it protects me from the sun as well. It was a sunny day yesterday so I brought it with me. I wear this hat whenever I go out and plan to stay out in the sun. This hat goes with any outfit because of the solid black. Here's a link to a similar one.



These flip flops are from Old Navy and are pretty cheap. I don't like bringing my pretty sandals to the beach because I'm afraid they'll get ruined unless I don't plan on going inside the water. 


Last but not least is your beach towel! I usually bring a towel with a beach type design because I am going to the beach and I like to be fun about it. 


Ahh! I forgot to add a very important item when going to the beach and it's sunblock! I brought SPF 70 since I didn't really want to tan. For me, sunblock is essential since I do tan easily.

♡OOTD♡


This is more of a future ootd since I never really got around to wearing it but hopefully I will soon! 


So this cute little crop top is from A'GACI. I know they sell similar ones at American Apparel but cost around $30.  Amazingly I got a similar one at A'GACI for only $6! Crop tops are really in this summer and are a great basic for everyday wear.


Next I also got this adorable circle skirt at A'GACI. It was originally around $20 but it was 60% off so it came out to be only like $8 which I thought was a steal. I purchased this skirt together with the crop top as well. Circle skirts are comfortable and easy to style. You can dress it up or dress it down with depending on the occasion 

My last item are these lovely sandals I got from Payless. I don't usually shop there for shoes but they were having a Memorial Day sale where almost everything was half off so I decided to look. I found these for $10 half off. I know sandals are a definite must for me since it is going to be mostly sunny down here in Miami. 

All these items are a great way to keep fresh and cool during this summer. And are also cheap and affordable. I'm in love with the whole outfit!

♡NEW FASHION BLOG♡

I'm so excited to say that I'm going to start a new blog dealing with fashion. With all these new summer trends I'm eager to share my OOTD's and hauls. I would also be doing reviews on clothing I get.

I hope you join me on this journey. I will be posting new updates once school is finally over for me (which is really soon!) so I can focus on this.

                                                                           Stay Cute!♡
