Summer Favorites

I've been able to try out a lot products this summer and various of them have become my favorites/essentials. 

• Milani Baked Bronzer in Glow: I have been loving this bronzer for an all over glow. Sometimes I even use it as a blush.
• Alba Botanica Natural Hawaiian Oil Free Moisturizer in Refining Aloe & Green Tea: This is my all time favorite moisturizer. It really sinks into my skin and it gives a refreshing feeling.
• bareMinerals Matte Foundation: I love using this to set my under eye concealer. This summer I've decided to skip out on foundation and whenever I feel oily I just dab a bit around the areas that tend to get oily.
• OGX Coconut Oil Weightless Hydrating Mist: This has become my holy grail hair product. Not only does it make my hair smell nice but it gives it volume and texture that lasts all day.
• NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Stockholm: The perfect pink nude for me. The only negative thing I have to say is that it does sink into my fine lines but I can work with it.
• Maybelline Fit Me Concealer: Perfect for my under eyes or any where else I want to highlight. 
• Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso: Recently this has been my go to blush. I love the natural sheen it gives and when I pair it with the baked bronzer in Glow it gives me the perfect finish.
• up & up Powder Brush: This brush is from the Target up & up brand. I love using this brush for applying my blush.
• e.l.f. Studio Blush Brush: The tapered end of the brush is perfect for setting my under eyes and any small areas.
• bareMinerals Flawless Application Face Brush: I love using the tapered end of the brush to apply bronzer to the hollow of my cheeks. It blends so perfectly.
• Rimmel London Scandal Eyes Waterproof Kohl Eyeliner in Nude: This eyeliner really opens up my eyes.
• eos Lip Balm in Tangerine: I like applying this lip balm right before I go to bed because it really keeps my lips moisturized until morning.
• Rimmel London Lasting Finish Matte by Kate Moss Lipstick in #109: A perfect coral lipstick. Whenever I'm feeling bold I put on this lipstick. I love that it's matte but still moisturizing.
• NYX Above and Beyond Full Coverage Concealer: This concealer is perfect for covering up any redness.

• Old Navy The Rockstar Cropped Jeans: These are the jeans for me! They are the perfect fit. I have always struggled in the jean department because they always fit me too long. Since these are cropped they fit me perfectly.
• Old Navy The Boyfriend shorts: My go to shorts recently.
• Fossil Messenger Bag
• Gold Necklace
• Rubi Jelly Sandals: Recently these are all I have been wearing.

• Bath & Body Works Cheers to Capri candle: This summer I have discovered how beautiful Italy is and have become obsessed with anything Italy based. This candle is lemon scented.
• Fabric Hair Ties
• A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway: This book has been my Summer read. I have not finished it but it definitely has been a great book.

What have you been loving this Summer?

♡ AUGUST FAVORITES♡

August went by way too fast for me. Summer ended and school started so I'm still trying to transition into school time like waking up at six a.m.

These items are what I've mostly been using this month:

Beauty:

Urban Decay Big Fatty Mascara

This mascara has been my absolute favorite this month. For a full review on it check out my post here.

Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush Bold Liquid Liner

I'm usually not that big of a fan of eyeliners but recently I've been wanting to try it out. I used this liner to practice making the perfect cat eye with it. The felt tip brush definitely helps get the look. I got it in the color brown but once I tried it on I knew should have gotten the liner in black because it's not as bold as I wanted it to be.

Victoria's Secret Ultra-Moisturizing Hand and Body Cream 'Strawberries and Champagne'

This body cream has been one of my favorites this moth mostly because of the smell. It is a very subtle smell that can also be soothing. I also love that it feels like a butter cream and doesn't feel sticky after applying.

Essie nail polish in 'Shifting Power'

This nail polish is a great transition to Autumn. 

Victoria Secret's Ultimate Look Shadow Trio in 'Most Wanted'

This eye palette has been my go to palette for this month. I mostly use the color in the center because it matched my skin tone exactly. It gives me a natural color but with a shimmer.

Forever 21 Eyelash Curler

I have noticed that curling my lashes before putting on mascara does help lengthen my lashes. The only downside to this is that it does pinch me sometimes.

Forever 21 French Bulldog Mirror Compact

I just love the design on this. It's adorable!

Old Navy

This has been my makeup bag for the past month. I love the colors and the vibrancy of it.

Fashion:

A'GACI Lennon Metal Frame Rounds

These have been my go to sunglasses this month. I love the quirkiness of them.

Old Navy Zip-Top Canvas Hobo

My go-to purse this month. I love the color and it goes with any outfit I choose to wear.

Old Navy Knit Cardigan

I've been wearing this same cardigan all month. I got mine in a large so it would fit me over sized.

Stay Cute!♡
