June 2011 Favorite's

Ok everyone, here are my June 2011 Beauty Favorites! I compiled a list of several of the products i have used constantly and with a lot of frequency this past month and i'll quickly explain why i love each of them. Click the red links for information on the products and a lengthier review on my Luuux page.

1. Victoria's Secret Bombshell Summer Body Mist

I have been wearing this everyday since i bought it in early June. I really wanted the perfume but it was sold out so i bought the body mist instead. The scent is very floral & fruity and just heavenly! Perfect for summer.

2. CG Aqua Smoothers Tinted Moisturizer

I just reviewed this yesterday but ive had it for a few weeks. I use it a couple different ways: 1) As a base under my foundation, and 2) By itself for sheer coverage that evens out skin tone.

3. Mixed Foundation

I am soo glad i did this! It ended up being the PERFECT shade for me. This is a mixed foudnation i personally did for myself when i couldn't find the right foundation shade and had 1 that was light, and 1 that was too dark. This is ½ Maybelline Fit Me Foundation in Ivory, and ½ L'Oreal TrueMatch in Porcelaine.

4. E.L.F. Makeup Mist & Set

I use this stuff a few different ways. 1) To set my makeup and control oil, 2) Sprayed lightly onto a sponge or brush prior to applying foundation to give that "dewey" effect, and 3) To apply shadows wet by spraying this onto my finger or a brush then swiping into the eyeshadow.

5. LUSH 9 to 5 Cleanser

Holy wow i love this for removing makeup! Its creamy, gentle, and effective. It removers even the most stubborn waterproof eye makeup and leaves skin feeling soft and supple. Definitely a must-have from now on.

6. Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel

Im always leery about trying new face moisturizers because i have combination-oily skin which is acne prone and sometimes new products can really irritate me. However, this does wonderful at balancing my dry & oily spots at the same time, while moisturizing, and controlling oil and shine too.

7. Physicians Formula Solar Powder Bronzer SPF 15

This is the most subtle/light bronzer i have found lately. Because i'm so fair its hard to get a bronzer that doesn't look fake, but this definitely gives a natural bronzey-tan look to fair skin like mine. Its not too dark and it has SPF 15 for added protection. Love it!

8. CoverGirl Pressed Powder in Buff Beige

I haven't done a review on this yet because it's basically just your typical pressed powder. I use my Ecotools Duo-Fibre Finishing Kabuki brush to apply this powder over top of my foundation to set it and buff out any lines or unevenness.

9. Wet N Wild The Gilded Age Eyeshadow Trio

OMG i absolutely adore this palette! I have used it nearly every day since buying it. Its literally perfect for that summer bronzed goddess eye look and it goes with many skin tones. I have created 3 different looks so far with this and im just obsessed with this palette.

10. Physicians Formula Conceal Rx Concealers

Best concealers i have ever used!! They dry super fast, don't budge, and give 100% full opaque coverage all day long. The soft green is perfect for covering redness and/or blemishes, and the skin tone is great for under eyes and everything else.

11. My Favorite Lip Combo - WnW Bare it All -&- NYC Nude York City

This is like the perfect nude lip combo for me. I used Wet N Wild Bare It All lipstick which has a matte finish, and apply NYC Liquid Lipshine in Nude York City very sheer ontop of it. It gives me a beautiful nude lip that goes with any look.

12. Lip Smackers Coca Cola Lip Gloss

This lip gloss is soooooo moisturizing! It immediately makes my lips super smooth and silky plus it smells/tastes exactly like the soda Coca Cola. Very yummy.

13. Rimmel Extra WOW Lash Mascara

This mascara is amazing. It lengthens, separates, AND volumes really well. It's new to drugstores and isn't too pricey. Definitely a mascara i have used ALOT since purchasing, its great.

Thats it! I hope you enjoyed my post and my favorites for this past month. I use a lot of these on a daily basis and they are definitely staples for me now, especially for Summer. Thanks for reading. Please comment, like and follow! Photos are mine, do not use :)
