1. Wet n Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow palette trios in "Walking on Eggshells" and "Silent Treatment" - This month has been all about wearing eyeshadow for me, especially after the past few months where I only wore mascara on my eyes and then nothing at all. I have been loving it. I wear the eyelid color in "Walking on Eggshells" very often. That and some mascara and you are set! It is very nice. I also wore the eyelid color in "Silent Treatment" when I went out with some of my friends and I loved the look. It was subtly smokey, which is perfect because sometimes I am not a very confident makeup wearer. You have to be a pretty confident makeup wearer to pull off a smokey eye. One day I'll be that person. The formula of these eyeshadows are great, very nice pigmentation with limited fall-out (if you are careful, this pretty much goes for every eyeshadow I find)! They are also about $3 so you can't beat the price.
2. & 3. Formula 10.0.6 Pores Be Pure Skin-Clarifying Mud Mask with Strawberry + Yarrow AND Freeman Feeling Beautiful Facial Polishing Mask with Charcoal and Black Sugar - Wow, what long titles those two have! I love the combination of these two face masks. I do this about once a week where I'll use the Strawberry mask then afterwards use the Charcoal mask. It might seem a little backwards but I find the Charcoal mask to be a little more moisturizing than the other one. Well, after wearing these two masks together I feel amazing. My skin is soft and looks clean while feeling so unbelievably clean. Afterwards, I will go in with my facial spray and my night moisturizer as I do everynight. I might be crazy but I think it has helped out my skin a little bit. You can get both at Ulta. I highly recommend!
4. NYC Sunny Bronzer - I have definitely put this in a favorites post before. This is such old news but I love this bronzer. I actually use it more as an eyeshadow than a bronzer and it is the perfect color (remember, this has been the month of loving eyeshadow??). I put it all over the lid with a little more in the crease and it gives my eyes nice definition AND if you also pat on some of the brow bone color from the "Walking on Eggshells" palette with your finger on the middle of the lid it looks beautiful. Stick on some mascara after that and you've got another winning look.
5. Sponges - I only started doing this recently but I am very impressed. My mom gave me a few sponges to apply my foundation with since I had told her I only use a brush to do it. She pretty much only uses a sponge so I thought I would try it out. It is a lovely finish! Looks very natural and I love that. I have only two gripes; 1. I feel like I have to use more product to evenly apply it all over my face and 2. I'm not sure how cleaning will go. I'll give cleaning a go soon and report back. Besides those two gripes I am very much enjoying the sponge.
6. Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in "As You Want, Victoria" - I think saved the best for last. This is amazing. I saw it in Target a few weeks ago and could not stop thinking about it. I finally bought it and immediately wore it to the grocery store with my friend just to try it out and I was first amazed by the pigmentation and also amazed by the color. It is a pretty bright pink fuchsia color. In fact, it is the color of bright pink fuchsia roses! I have a picture as evidence. I told you it is amazing! I want to try out more colors from this line. One day when I have a paying job I will!
Wow, I didn't think I would write so much but last month was a fun one for beauty products. Again, mostly because for the duration of art camp I was wearing little-to-no makeup. It is awfully refreshing to not wear makeup but it is just too much fun to look at and apply and try out new things to never wear it! I will forever love it.
Until next time,
Caroline
