July was a pretty low-maintenance makeup month. I did, however find a few favorites to include for this month. Enjoy!
The first product that I have been loving is a primer. This is the NYX Angel Veil Primer. I know, I’m late to the hype on this one. I usually prefer pore-reducing primers, but this one minimizes pores while also smoothing out the rest of the face. I notice that my makeup sticks nicely to this as well.
I also found myself having to buy a new foundation this month because I ran out. This never happens, I just usually find another foundation I like better before I finish one. So, of course, I had to go foundation shopping. I ended up loving what I picked out. I have the Maybelline Superstay Better Skin Foundation. I use the shade 20 warm ivory. Not only is this foundation supposed to look good when you wear it, it’s also supposed to improve your skin over time. I actually have noticed this! When I use this every day (along with my skin care routine) my skin looks better at the end of the week. Try this out and let me know if you think so too!
I’ve been loving this palette from Lorac that I got myself as a treat when I had an Ulta gift card. This is the California Dreaming Palette and the packaging and colors are so pretty! I love creating both a muted summery look as well as a darker more intense look with this palette. I feel like the colors are different from any other palette that I own.
The lip color that I’ve been wearing a lot this month is the Wet n Wild megalast Liquid Catsuit Matte Lipstick. I think the drugstores are finally getting the hang of matte liquid lipsticks! I’ve been wearing the shade Nudist Peach and at first I really did not this shade on my lips. However, now that I have a tan, I feel like this shade complements my skin nicely. I bought another shade and can’t wait to try that one out too!
Last in the makeup department, I’ve been loving the Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Hers and Rosewater. I’ve used this as a primer before makeup, a setting spray, and a spray to freshen up throughout the day. It smells delicious and since it’s made of all-natural ingredients, I don’t feel bad really dousing my skin in this. I only have a travel bottle for now, but I will definitely be getting the full size soon.
I was on the hunt for some really dark sunglasses to wear while I was on vacation in Florida. I found these completely black ones at a Gap Factory store for super cheap. I bought them and haven’t put them down since! I have a small head, but these fit my face pretty well and I love how dark they are!
That’s it for my favorites for the month of July! Leave a comment about what you have been loving this month so I can check it out!
I love the Maybelline SuperStay Better Skin foundation (I included it in my July Favs as well). I use Mario Badescu aloe and cucumber water and I love it. That Lorac palette looks beautiful; I’ve never owned any Lorac shadows but I have always wanted to! I tried the Wet N’ Wild liquid lippies and they were really streaky on me, maybe I just got a dud, but they didn’t work too well for me. However, I have been enjoying the new(ish) Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink Liquid Lippies, they are great! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for commenting! I actually have a post scheduled for today all about the Maybelline liquid lips haha! I have a few Lorac palettes and they continue to be one of my favorite high end eyeshadow palettes
I need to try some out! My cousin really wants one of their unzipped palettes. Maybe I’ll get it for her and then play with it a bit to see if I should order myself one! xoxo
