June Favorites

June for me was a month of concerts, having lunch with friends, a family trip, and lots of working out!  Most of the products I loved (both mentioned in this post and not) were all about keeping my face in place and looking nice through a sweaty summer night.

 

I'll Start off with my makeup favorites.

1. Maybelline's The Falsies.  Need I say more?  This mascara is amazing, and it's super cheap!

2. Essie's The More The Merrier. Such a happy summer nail polish! (I talked more about it here.)

3. Topshop's Ooh La La.  Literally my new favorite lip product.  I wore it to all three concerts I attended as well as a slew of parties and dinners etc. (I reviewed it here and wore it here and here.)

4. Rimmel London's Stay Matte Powder.  It keeps my oil-prone skin matte.  What's not to love? (I talked about it more here.)

1. Kiehl's Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque.  It has kept my face refreshed and feeling amazing.  (review coming)

2. Urban Decay's De-Slick Makeup Setting Spray.  I ADORE this.  It keeps my makeup in place and helps prevent oilyness!

3. Biotera Dry Shampoo.  This dry shampoo works like a dream.  (review coming)

So there's my June favorites!  Leave me a comment telling me yours.

NOTD

Hello!  After an eventful trip to the lake with my family, I'm back!  I painted my nails, and I really liked how they turned out, so I decided to do a "Nails of the Day" post.

 Pardon the mess; I haven't had time to clean up around the sides yet.  I used Essie's Mint Candy Apple, my absolute favorite nail polish ever (reviewed here).  I have been using this color a lot, so I decided to spice it up.  I layered Sephora by OPI's Celibacy Club on top.  I absolutely love this glitter!

Also, my aunt gave me this ring last week while I was at the lake.  I think its so gorgeous!  It is a Chantilly silver spoon ring.  I took a couple fun pics while at the lake, so I decided to share them with you!

My brother caught this fish!  (We threw it back--don't worry!)

I have the cutest dog ever!

Rainbow Cake from the local bakery is a new fave!

I went shopping while I was there and picked up a bunch of new clothes.  Let me know if you want me to do a haul post!

Product Review | Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil

Eyeliner has always been one of my favorite types of makeup.  I'm constantly on the quest for the perfect cat eye, and I love the way eyeliner can completely transform a makeup look.  A few months ago, I went into Sephora with the mission of buying a great pencil eyeliner.  I swatched every one in the store, and I decided that I liked Urban Decay's 24/7 Glide On Pencil in Bourbon best.

 First off, the texture of these pencils is AH-mazing!  They really do glide on, which is so nice.  I don't think I've ever used a pencil eyeliner that has slid onto my eye so easily.  This makes it really easy to control.  It also stays put very well.  It doesn't transfer to the lid midway through the day.  It's even lasted through a workout in which I got very sweaty.  This eyeliner lives up to its name!

 Take a look at that color!  I love, love, love soft brown eyeliners, as they suit my fair skin and light blue eyes really nicely.  There is some shimmer in the liner, too.  It is so gorgeous paired with a really light eye shadow.  I especially love it with a baby pink.  This eyeliner has been a staple in my makeup recently!  I have been loving a light eye with this liner and lots of mascara, a bright face with a matte pink blush, and pink lips of varying brightness this summer.  That has been my go-to look, and this eyeliner completes it perfectly!
