May/June Favorites

Monday, July 7, 2014

Hello, sweeties! Today, I'm doing a favorites post for May AND June. I didn't do a favorites post last month because I didn't have a lot of new favorites to show you. There was only 1 product I really loved that month (more about that later). Same for June, but I was able to find some products to write this post. I just don't want to show you guys the same blush/concealer/mascara/shampoo each month. So these are the products that really stood out to me the last two months.


1) Garnier Ambre Solaire 1 week Natural Bronzer for the face
Although this is a self tanning gel for the face, I use this on my legs. I never used a self tanning product before, so I wanted to try out something very natural. This had a very suble effect, but I put it on 2 days in a row and in gave my leg a nice, natural sunkissed tint. It's very easy to work with, it left no streaks or weird stains. It also smells VERY good, not like typical fake tanner, it smells very fruity. I like it!

2) Yves Rocher Eye Serum Vegetal
I got this as a free gift with purchase a few weeks ago. It's a nice eye serum that really wakes up the eye area, when you massage it in. I like using this in the morning, to look a bit more awake. It's smells a tiny bit like play-do, but it's not very strong and it doesn't bother me.

3) Essie 'Fiji"
I'll try to keep it short, because this is just one of the best products I've ever used. If I had to go to a deserted island and they would allow me to bring along 1 nailpolish, it will be this one. Without a doubt. It's worth the hype. It's that kind of amazing, "almost white but with that little hint of pink" colored polish. It matches EVERYTHING you wear. Oh, I'm just in love with this polish. I would recommend it to everyone! 

4) M.A.C. Mineralize Skinfinish in 'Stereo Rose'
You guys know I love this one. It's a glowy, coral pink. This color embodies 'summer' to me. It's so beautiful. I did a review on this blush a while ago, if you want to read more about it.

5) The Body Shop 'Born Lippy' Strawberry
A nice moisturizing lip balm that smells and tastes like strawberry candy? Yes, please! It gives the lips a nice, sheer red tint that I like a lot. I usually keep this in my purse and take it with me all the time.   

6) Essence All About Matt Fixing Compact Powder
My skin has been very oily lately (Hello, summer) and this has been a life saver! It's just a translucent matte powder but it works really well and is ever affordable. A few of my friends use this as well and love it!

7) Essence Maximum Definition Volume Mascara
This mascara used to be my favorite a few years ago! When I repurchased it, it was a different formula. It was suddenly much more wet and clumpy. But now, it has dried up a bit and it works fine for me. It really lengthens each and every lash and makes them look ah-mazing! 

What are your favorite products at the moment?
