                                                          Monthly Favorites:
Favorite tinted moisturizer:
Physicians Formula Healthy Wear tinted moisturizer in Fair to Light. I love this for the summer time because it doesn't feel heavy on my skin and I know it won't melt off my face in the heat and it actually gives coverage which is awesome! Plus it has SPF 50 in it which seems like a lot for a tinted moisturizer.

Favorite concealer:
Hard Candy's Glamoflauge Heavy Duty Concealer in  Light. When they say heavy duty they aren't kidding! This stuff covers everything and it doesn't look cakey under my eyes.
Favorite powder:
Covergirl Clean Pressed Powder for oil control in Buff Beige. I especially love this in the summer since my skin tends to be more oily in the summer and it really does help minimize my oil and it doesn't make me look cakey.

Favorite highlighter:
Hard Candy's Blush Crush Baked Blush in Honeymoon. Yes this is actually a blush but it is way too sheer to come off as a blush so I use it as a highlighter and I LOVE it! I love the glow it gives and I love that glowy look for the summer.

Favorite blush:
MAC sheer-tone blush in Dollymix. I love the color of this blush and the way it looks on my skin tone. It is one of the perfect shades for summer!

Another favorite blush:
Mark blush in Sunlove Glow. I love the color of this blush too, I love how natural it looks and the glow that it gives.

Favorite make-up setting spray:
ELF make-up mist and set. I love this for the summer especially because it helps my make-up stay on all day.

Favorite facial cleanser:
Aveeno Smart Essentials Daily Detoxifying Scrub with Southernwood. I love love love this scrub! It smells amazing and makes my skin feel cleaner and it doesn't dry out my skin.

Favorite liquid eyeliner:
Almay Intense I-Color in Black Pearl. I love this because it is so easy to use, the color is gorgeous, and  it has a felt tip.

Favorite cream eye-shadow:
Maybeline 24 hour Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze. Clearly this has gotten MUCH love from me! I adore this color, I love wearing it by itself because it doesn't crease, and I love wearing it under eye-shadow. It's just perfect all around.

Favorite eye-shadow primer:
Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden. I love the consistency of this stuff, I love how it looks on my eyelids, I love how it makes my eye-shadows look, I love how it doesn't crease at all. Basically it's amazing!
Favorite colored eyeliner for summer:
ELF Shimmer Eyeliner Pencil in Purple. I love this color for summer instead of using just plain black, it really adds fun to your look!

Another favorite eyeliner for summer:
Sephora eyeliner in Lagoon. I love how pigmented this is, it is a beautiful blue that really gives a pop of color to any look.

Favorite mascara:
Covergirl Lash Blast Volume in Black. This is pretty much my absolute favorite mascara. I love the length, definition, and volume it gives my eyelashes!

Favorite brow pencil:
ELF Eyebrow Lifter and Filler in Ivory/Light. I love using this to fill in my eyebrows. It matches my eyebrows really well. And I love using the lift side as a brow highlight sometimes.

Favorite palette for summer looks:
Wet n Wild palette in Blue Had Me at Hello. I love these colors, they are so gorgeous and pigmented! And the looks that you can come up with are endless!

Favorite quad for summer:
Maybeline Stylish Smokes quad in Amethyst Smokes. These colors are gorgeous and my absolute favorite to use for purple smokey looks. 

Favorite moisturizing lip product:
Revlon Lipbutter in Cupcake. This stuff is amazing, it really moisturizes your lips and the color isn't sheer, it is so pretty!

Favorite fun lipstick for summer:
NYC lipstick in Blossom. This is so cheap yet so awesome! The color is beautiful and so fun for summer!

Another fun lipstick for summer:
Rimmel Moisture Renew lipstick in Pink Chic. This is the perfect Barbie pink for summer, I love how it looks on me and it has SPF 15 in it.


Favorite nail polish:
Spoiled by Wet n Wild in Deeper Dive. I love this color so much! It's blue with subtle sparkles and perfect for summer!

Another favorite nail polish:
China Glaze nail polish in Bahamian Escape. I love this blue, it looks so pretty with a tan and I have been wearing it on  my toes for the whole month and still am!

Favorite brush:
ELF blush brush. I don't use this for its intended purpose instead I use it for my highlighter because it works perfectly for that!

Favorite perfume:
La Vida Loca. Yes this is a knock off version of Juicy Couture's Viva La Juicy but it smells almost exactly the same and is sooooooo much cheaper! I actually prefer the smell of this to Viva La Juicy.

Random favorite:
Jergens Shea Butter lotion. I love the smell of this stuff, it doesn't feel greasy or take forever to  dry and it really moisturizes my skin.
