SEPTEMBER?!
I can't believe how fast August has flown by. It's been a crazy summer and I'm sure it'll turn out to be just as crazy this month.
So without further ado...my August favs.
NIVEA Lip Balm - Raspberry Rose
This stuff smells heavenly. It seriously smells good enough to eat. It's also very moisturizing so it serves it's purpose well.
NYX Soft Matte Lip Creme - Copenhagen & Cannes
I am LOVING the formula of these soft matte lip cremes. They're smooth, non-sticky, and extremely pigmented. The formula is buildable and doesn't tend to stick to dry areas on the lips. Plus the colors are great for transitioning to Fall!
BareMinerals Matte Foundation - Golden Fair (applied with the Expert Face Brush by Real Techniques)
This stuff was my go-to foundation for any given day. Going to the beach? Slap some of it one. Going to work? Slap it on. It's got fair coverage without caking up. Another reason to buy it? It doesn't clog pores.
Anastasia Dip Brow Pomade - Chocolate
There are not enough words to describe how absolutely wonderful this product is. You will use the TINIEST amount for your brows. This stuff is long wearing, pigmented, and acts like a wax. They'll hold your brows in place all. day. long.
Lorac Pro 2
Although I wasn't a fan of the original palette, this version has hit it out of the park for me. I'm loving the cool toned colors and the quality of the shadows. They are smooth, pack a pigmented punch, and most of all - blendable. The palette itself is versatile; it allows you to create a deep and dark smoky eye or go with a day-time appropriate neutral eye.
BH Cosmetics Glamorous Blush Palette
I picked up this palette on a whim since their site had a sale going on. Turns out, I like it more than I thought I would! It works best when mixed with other colors in the palette and allows for easy use for when you're doing other people's make up. The range is incredible and the colors are ALL wearable - yes, even that deep red.
Pomelo Lime Soy Candle
I'm terrible at describing scents...so just take my word for it: this candle is AMAZING. It's fresh and bright. It's citrus smell is sweet but not overly so. It's light. It brings memories of spring and summer. It's that good.
FitBit Flex
I never thought I would be one to buy and use a fitness bracelet...but here I am! It's a great tool for motivation and helps you keep track of your fitness goals. I've been finding that I'm more inclined to park farther away or take that extra set of stairs to get to where I'm going. If you're looking for something that will give you a little more incentive to be active - this might do it for you! The bracelet itself if comfortable and it's many colors make it easy for you to style with outfits.
7 Minute Workout App
Who thought that 7 minutes could be so long? This app makes use of HIIT (high intensity interval training) and has you go through 12 different "workouts" to target different parts of your body - all within 7 minutes. If you do it daily you can unlock other workouts and gain badges!
That's it for this month!
Love,
jane
