July 2012 Favorites

I don't really like much makeup for the summer, so these are the products that I have been grabbing the most throughout July.

Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua

My holy grail foundation. I'm not pretending like I wear makeup everyday, most days it's just a little concealer, but when I do- it's always this. I always get compliments on my skin when I wear it. Perfect lightweight coverage and makes your skin look dewy and flawless. 

Benefit creaseless cream shadow in Birthday Suit

This is a perfect base for shadows, but most of the time for daytime I just use this by itself. Really pretty color, and definitely doesn't crease. 

Tarte emphaseyes brightener

Brightening eyeliner for your waterline- skin toned color that takes away the redness and makes your eyes look bigger. I do like this- but I think I like the Paula Dorf doll eyes better.

Benefit They're Real Mascara

This does it all... volume. separation. length. Makes my lashes look amazing.

YSL Rouge Volupte in #30 Faumburg Peach

Nothing beats the creaminess of these lipsticks, so luxurious. Lasting power sucks- but it looks so pretty when you reapply so who cares. This color is the perfect peachy color for summer. 

Dior Addict Ultragloss in Sari Pink

Perfect bright pink color- not sticky- great paired with lipsticks or worn alone-- I paired this with MAC cut a caper and it looked really pretty.

Nars Joie de Vivre Palette

A Nordstrom exclusive that came out with their anniversary sale this month!! AMAZEBALLS! i like it much better than the Danmari palette. It has Laguna Bronzer, Albatross Highlight, Orgasm blush, Gaeity blush, Luster blush, and Angelika blush. So nice to have all of these in one place-- again for that vacation I'm never taking this on (Debbi Downer).

MAC mineralized Skinfinish in Light Year

This just came out with the Heavenly Creatures Collection- such a pretty pink and gold highlight and can also be worn alone as a blush.

Sephora cream blush in Coral Flush

I have been wearing this as a base for other blushes and on it's own. LOVE THE COLOR! perfect coral with gold shimmer- so pretty- very blendable. First purchase by the Sephora brand, and I really love this product.
