JULY BEAUTY FAVORITES 2012

Its that time of month again, no not that time. ITS MONTHLY FAVORITES TIME!!!! Its the end of July already boy did it go by pretty fast then pretty slow..but most times fast.I have quite a bit of favorites from this month that I have been using, so brace yourself.

Tend Skin- for Razor bumps & burn and ingrown hair. I use this for my underarms and sometimes my legs.

Blistex- Cold & Allergy Lip Soother This stuff is amazing! It kind of has a taste to it, a nice one of course, a faint sweet smell and i can feel the soothing effect!

Clearasil- Rapid Action Seal-To-Clear Gel- I use this for those random breakouts I get every once in awhile I love these types of things for my breakouts they work great!

Simple Exfoliating Facial Wipes- I usually use Olay Sensitive Wipes, but I decided to try something new and I came across these exfoliating facial wipes. I like them, I use them on the go when I'm in a rush or after a workout. The exfoliating part is a bit rough but not bad.

Simple Eye Make-up Remover: I ran out of my MAC makeup remover so I needed something fast and just picked this up from my local drugstore. I like it a lot it does take a bit longer then i would like to remover my waterproof mascara but other then that I really like it.

Jason Purifying Tea Tree Pure Natural Deodorant Stick: THIS STUFF SUCKS FOR YOU UNDERARMS!!! It is terrible, its really slick, and when you sweat in the hot weather it intensifies it, and it doesn't help block odor or anything. BUT I have been using it to stop razor burns/bumps for my lady bit.

Summer's Eve Simply Sensitive Cleansing Cloths- I love these wipes, I love using them after a workout or when I'm on that special time of month.(not so special HA) and when its really hot out to freshen up. I'm not embarrassed, you have to stay clean and fresh! 

Dickinson's Original Witch Hazel Pore Perfecting Toner- I use this everyday and night after I wash my face to help control Oils, and to minimize my pores on my nose. I love it! it also helps with the redness I sometimes get on my face.

L'oreal Paris Youth Code- SPF 30 Day Cream- My favorite skincare line EVER. Enough said.

 MAC Cosmetics Lipstick in PleasureSeeker, I love this color its from MACS Heavenly Creature Collection and Neo SCI-FI  collection. Perfect lipstick for any occasion!

Jouer Cosmetics- These are two seperate eyeshadows but you can connect them together ITS SO COOL!

The colors from left to right is: Bordeaux & Amaretto I love these colors and have been using them alot!

Urban Decay's Naked Palette- I feel like this is always on EVERY ONES Monthly favorites. BECAUSE its so amazing, the colors are gorgeous, the pigmentation is fantastic and you can create so many looks and do so many things with one palette! 

MAC COSMETICS Eye Shadow x2- Baby, Its Cold.. & Woodsmoke. Its from MAC's Ice Parade Collection from last year 2011, Gold Iced Delights.

 Mac's Carbon Eyeshadow I have literally had this since high school! My first ever MAC eyeshadow and I love it so much I mainly use this for Eyeliner purposes! for a softer look.Makes my eyes pop!

Mac Paint Pot in Morning Frost- I use to use nothing but Urban Decay Primer Potion but I don't think I'll ever go back. I have just fallen in complete love with this paint pot its perfect!

Chanel's Illusion D'Ombre in Illusoire- I LOVE THIS! its so soft and buttery and perfect! I like to use this when I only have a short time to do my make up. Sometimes I will also put Naked Lunch all over my lid and then smudge this into the outer corner of my eye and also on my bottom lashes.

Maybelline MasterShape Eyebrow Pencil in Soft Brown- Best Eye Pencil EVER!

 MAC Mineralize Skinfinish From the Semi Precious Collection in Semi Precious Goldstone, I use this as a bronzer and a blush its perfect for summer and gives you an amazing nice natural glow!

Jennifer Aniston's Perfume- This seriously makes me smell so good, I am a big fan of Jen Aniston she is gorgeous and makes a damn phenomenal perfume! I just constantly catch myself sniffing myself when I wear this perfume!

What are your month favorites for July??

MAC Black Friday Lipstick

The Black Knight yes this isn't exactly your every day wear kind of lipstick. It won't work with everything, it would be great for Halloween, Theatrical Make Up etc. But this lipstick is LIMITED EDITION and only comes out for Black Friday. So I really couldn't let this pass by, even though I don't yet have a good use for it.. It still will be a great edition to my make up collection. This Lipstick is 14.50$ and it is no longer being sold you can check out MAC Cosmetics here.

With this lipstick You are definitively One of A Kind

  One of a Kind is one of the lipsticks from the MAC Semi Precious line, It is a Fall 2011 collection, so you can see that it is based on fall colors or fall looks that are in for this years season. One of a Kind is a Midtone Rosy Neutral and it is a Lustre finish and costs 14.50 US$. As soon as I saw the product photo for this I instantly wanted it, its such a gorgeous color.

Semi Precious- Gem Of Roses

I'm more then 100% absolutely positive that this was one of the most sought after and wanted product from this collection. The color is gorgeous for any season (summer,winter,fall, & spring). When I wear this lipstick I feel cute, sexy and glamorous all at the same time, especially the name Gem of Roses adds to that.
Gem of Roses is a Midtone Strawberry Pink with a Lustre finish. It cost 14.50 US$ when this collection first came out this instantly SOLD OUT. The products from this collection have been restocked you can find them Mac Semi Precious or at Nordstrom.com in the beauty section.
For me this lipstick lasts about 4-6 hours with eating and all that jazzz! It's a great color for anything imaginable. So if you like it I'd get your hands on it before it sells out again.

MAC Surf Baby - Hibiscus Lipstick- Coral Vacation.

This lipstick was also one of The MOST wanted items from the Mac Surf Baby Collection. Hibiscus Lipstick is a Cremesheen finish, and is a bright orange coral. This color is so beautiful, it applies very smooth and wear time for me is about 4-6 hours. It costs $15.50 for .1 oz. The packaging is just so fun & cute for summer, this lipstick sold out extremely fast. There are still some products online at the MAC site, but more then likely the item you want is gone :( you may also find this lipstick on Ebay(again the price will be a bit more then MAC sells it for but it is Limited Edition) 


I'll just make this very simple I LOVE anything and mainly everything coral, when i see colors that look the slightest bit coral, I go kookoo for coral! 

Very gorgeous color

Did you get anything from the MAC Surf Baby Collection? Do you think you would wear this shade? I love opinions & I'd enjoy hearing your thoughts!
