MUST WATCH: July Favorites

Physicians Formula Super BB Beauty Balm Powder

For the first time ever I love a powder! Most of the time I just use powders on extremely hot days to set foundation and even then I use it very sparingly on ultra moisturized skin. The self proclaimed "Powder Balm" was confusing at first, but after application I knew that the product preformed as just that. The longer the powder stayed on my skin, the more the finish turned to a dewy, fresh, matte look. I will definitely be using this more than any other powder I've tried. I feel I must say something about the BB label however...It seems that every cosmetic company is slapping "BB" on the front of their products and it has definitely run its corse. Despite this, the packaging is adorable and comes with a mirror and small brush for on-the-go application.

MAC Mineralized Charged Water

After I found that Sephora was out of Urban Decay's De Slick I wandered to the closest MAC counter and found this charged mineral water that is similar to MAC's Fix+. After much deliberation I decided to give it a try and test its makeup setting/prolonging capabilities. Although I would not recommend this spray for this purpose, I ended up loving it for other reasons! It is SO nice for after makeup application to really finalize the look and give your skin a dewy look. I love how refreshing the mist is and it feels nice in the summer heat.

Maybelline's Mega Plush Volum' Express Mascara

This mascara is by FAR my favorite out of all high-end and drugstore mascaras I've ever tried. This mascara gives major volume as opposed to length which is something I look for in a mascara and have found this is what suits me best. The waterproof quality is amazing and stays put (rare for me), while still easily removed at the days end. The flexible brush inside allows for a natural looking application but is still very buildable for night time looks. You can't go wrong with this product and is reasonable price tag.

Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupt Shine 8-Pink in Confidence

Where can I even begin with this product? The color is amazing- a dusty rose that is flattering on most skin tones is great for and everyday pink. The application is the best i've ever experienced with a lipstick. Creamy, smooth, soft are just few of the many ways to describe this YSL lipstick experience. A hefty price tag that really pushes the limits for me made this buy hard but trust me when I say that you will not regret this splurge. After the almost glossy application the lipstick sets and become a creamy shine that is irresistible. Not to mention the packaging is pure luxury and it definitely lives up to the YSL stigma.

Dior Lipgloss-Princess

Can we all just take a moment to admire this packaging? Adorable, clean, crisp. Lured me right in and with a name like "Princess" it became all the more enticing. After swatching this on my hand in Sephora I knew I had to have it. The prefect texture comes in this little tube. Not sticky, slimy or slippery. Kissable lips are mine for the taking with this high end Dior product. Cannot wait to expand my collection!

Thats it! Thanks for checking out my July favorites and watching my video!
