July Favorites.

Nars Light Reflecting Loose Powder- I've been on a hunt to find a good translucent setting powder since my all time favorite one (smashbox photo op finishing powder) was discontinued. Though that setting powder will always be my favorite the nars one is the best alternative I have found so far. I was really hesitant to try this but I am so glad I did. I keeps my face matte through most of the day and doesn't settle into my pores as much as other powders. 

Bliss Fabulips- when I first got this product I through it aside after one use and never really gave it a chance until about a month ago. I think what through me off most was that it was weightless and it's greasy texture. I soon realized I just wasn't used to the texture of a non sticky lip balm. I apply this numerous times a day and before I go to bed. It leaves my lips baby soft. 

Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara- this mascara is great for getting your tiny little lower lashes. I feel like it's often overlooked. It has a tiny brush and doesn't smudge throughout the day. 

Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray- since my face gets really oily through the day I tend to go a little powder crazy when initially applying my makeup. This is a great product to not only make your makeup dewy and more natural looking but to also keep oil at bay for a bit longer.

NYX Mineral Stick Foundation- this is my new favorite product to contour with. I have the shade caramel and it blends so effortlessly where I put it. 

Smashbox Liquid Halo Foundation- this product was a game changer for me! I bought it on a whim thinking I was going to hate it because I only wore matte, full coverage foundations - I was so wrong! This foundation is like a photo filter in a bottle. It blurs most of the acne I have, is light weight and makes my skin look dewy and healthy. The ONLY downfall I have had so far (I've been using this foundation religiously for about 2-3 months, in summer none the less!) is that I don't like it with my beauty blender. I feel the beauty blender sucks up too much product (it almost has a serum texture to it) so I have been using the sedona lace 928 which is a flat top kabuki and it blends it like a dream. I am so surprised at the staying power of this foundation on my oily skin as well. It has totally changed the way I shop for foundation, no more matte full coverage foundation for this girl!
