August Favorites!

I've decided, that if I find I use something enough in a month that I'm noticing I'm using it often, I will do a monthly favorites post.  When I did wear makeup this month, I found that I used a few things more than once!

  • theBalm Down Boy blush--I know I've talked about this a lot, but I LOVE this stuff! Literally gives me the perfect natural blush and it's sooo pretty.  I love it.
  • The combination of:
    • Clinique Acne Solutions Concealer--This is the lightest color, I'm not sure of the the shade number.  I got this a while ago, and it's usually my go-to concealer. However, it's really not easy to blend and it dries really quickly.  It is also the slightest bit light.  However, I am putting it on acne, so I wanted something that (hopefully) won't break me out.
    • Hard Candy Glamoflauge in Medium Light--This is a tad bit too dark, so when I layer it on top of the Clinique concealer, it matches my skin much more.  Also, this stuff is creamy and a total dream to blend!  The combo of these two is really great, and doesn't make me feel like I'm going to break out like crazy after.
  • NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Yogurt--I bought this on a whim.  I had been looking for the Shadow Stick in Milk, but then I saw this and thought it was really pretty! And it is.  It's a shimmery champagne color that is soo nice.  I have used it both under other shadows as well as just by itself.  When I wear it by myself, after a little bit of wearing it, it melds with my skin color and is such a pretty color. It's creamy and blends well, too!

  • The Urban Decay Ammo palette--Especially the colors Sin, Chopper, and Smog.  I love using these with the NYX Yogurt shadow, and doing so gives me a glowing, coppery eye look. I haven't raised the courage yet to really use any of the colors in this palette, but they are all really nice and the consistency is so buttery and smooth.



  • The combination of:
    • theBalm Staniac in Beauty Queen--this is a really nice gel stain.  It goes on sheer, but you can build it to a darker color.  
    • Korres Quince Lip Balm--this on top of the Staniac is sooo pretty! It's a my lips, but more refined look, and it's good for everyday wear!  



So that's what I used often this month!

Bollywood and Hollywood! I'm outskies.
