August favs

I didn't really purchase anything new in june or july except for clothes, but I have a lot of favorites now. 

I am going to start with hair products. 

I used to use Pantene but I have super curly hair and I feel it doesn't work well with my hair. It doesn't make my curls have their natural shape, its like the shampoo mats it at the top. Plus, I don't feel like I am really cleaning my hair and I have noticed build up. Yuck. So I changed shampoos and I have the John Frieda Frizz Ease Dream Curls Shampoo and I also recently bought the conditioner for it. 

You can never organize your make up too many ways right?

I love the 3 drawer organizers and I got mine for like $4 from Target. I already have one but I needed one more lol. 

I was recently stopped at the benefit counter and I was asked to sample their new gel eyeliner. However, I practically got my make up done. I ended up getting the Hervana blush instead, but I do plan on buying another mascara and the gel eyeliner. I asked the lady doing my make up what blush would look good on me, considering I wear foundation to cover up the redness in my t-zone, and then she applied Hervana and I fell in love. My best friend got the gel eyeliner and I got a blush for my birthday (September 21st) so thank you mammal for that. You know the way to my heart. 

Since I have gone back to my normal foundation routine, most of my powders made my face look like I caked on a ton of make up. The cool thing about the amount of make up I have is if I look hard enough I'll find another powder. And I did. The Maybelline Dream Matte Powder looks great on the skin after applying liquid foundation. 

Next are two potted eyeshadows I think I have mentioned on my blog before. They are the NYX Hot Singles Eyeshadow in Damage Control (which is a light purple with hints of grey) and the other one is Lace. Which is just a nude. 

I also have two lip colors to talk about. The NYX butter glosses used to look weird on me. I don't know why I have been wearing them for so long and then all of the sudden the formula seemed to change. I fell back in love with it and Creme Brûlée is still my favorite. 

My next nude is from Forever 21 and is the High Pigment Gloss in nude. 

Last lip color is from Bite Beauty and it is in the color Shiraz, nice dark color and enhances my lip color more. 

As most of my readers know my holy grail mascara is the voluminous million lashes. My only side note about this product is, its definitely going to look natural, so you will need a mascara to coat the black on and make them look thicker. My newest obsession is Rimmel Scandal eyes Retro Glam mascara in black. Best mascara if you want a dramatic look.
