June Favorites 2013
After doing an "empties" post, I realized that I also like watching monthly favorites videos/hits and misses videos on YouTube as well. Sooo I thought, why not incorporate them into my blog too? Haha
So here's my first favorites post! (Plus some disappointing products at the end.)
Favorites:
1. Buxom lip glosses - I bought my first one and then I just could not wait to get my hands on more. I have three in total now and I've used them religiously over this past month. They give you a tingly feeling, a light sweet minty scent and great color and shine. The price is a little expensive ($19) but its worth trying out. *warning* If you don't like the plumping glosses, you probably won't like these. I will definitely do a separate blog post on these!

#2. I.d. bare minerals blush in horizon - I also bought this product this month, and I've been using this a lot this month too. I usually drift toward orange colors for cheeks and lips for the summer and this has been my go-to blush. I already did a separate review on this blush: here
#3. Benefit Sun Beam - I got a sample size of this that came in a pack of 3 at Sephora, and I had originally gotten the pack for Benefit's Cha Cha Tint...but sun beam is amazing!! I think it matches my skin more than moon beam since it has a golden sheen to it. I usually use this to highlight the bridge of my nose and cheek bones and I love the subtle shimmer it gives. I might end up buying the full size when I run out.
Not so favorites:
#1. Rimmel Stay Matte Powder - I don't know if this caused me to break out, but I had a pretty bad skin reaction/break out around the time I started to use this....which scared me off, and I haven't pulled it out to use it again. My skin is relatively back to normal and I keep hearing good things about this powder, so I might retry sometime, but as for now it's going to be in my "not so favorites" I do hear a lot of people talking about how they like this product though, maybe my skin was just too sensitive?
2. Hard Candy Glamoflauge - this is the thickest concealer I've ever used and I just can't make it look un-cakey on my face. It is really heavy duty so it hides imperfections but I just don't like how heavy it feels. I intended to use this for under-eye concealing so the color is a little too light on me as well for covering up blemishes. I think I'm going to stick to my Bobbi Brown and MUFE concealers.
I wanted to do a hits and misses on just the items I bought in the month of June but I couldn't remember all of them....
so this month's favorites/misses are just in general but I've started to keep track of the items I've bought so for July Favorites I'll have a list of items that I've newly tried out :D
