July Favorites

Hey Butterflies! Yep butterflies I think will be my new greeting for you all! I will test it out and see if anyone likes it or not. As you can see I will be telling you all about my July favorites, whoop whoop! I have nine favorites and two downfalls for this past month. Let's get down and favorited and downfalling.

My first favorite is my ULTA Mesmer Eyes palette. I got this palette from ULTA and I absolutely love it!! It is soooo gorgeous especially if you like brown, blue and green eyeshadows. The colors are so pigmented and the best part it is only $5.95. My next favorite is NYX Soft Matte lip cream in Buenos Aries. I just love this color and the feel of it. The only downfall is that it takes several layers in order to get the color. I got the product at ULTA and I think it is $5.95 as well but do not quote me on it. Pixi Tinted Brilliance Balm in Unique Pink is an item that I got from my July Ipsy bag and it is so moisturizing and minty. I am not sure what the price is for it, and I think you could probably get it at ULTA or some other makeup store. My other favorite item I got from Ipsy is my Be Fine Moisturizer. I love this moisturizer it has really cleared up the red spots on my face and with it being combined with my facial wash it has really helped my acne, I still have some spots but not as much. I am not sure of the price or where you can buy it though. Sad face D: My next two favorites are makeup brushes one is just a regular eye shadow brush by Ecotools and the other brush is a Eye shadow crease that I got at Icing by Claire's. The brush by Ecotools is so soft and really packs on the eye shadow well, I got the product at ULTA for $3.95, but when I went back the next time it was $5.95. The eye shadow crease brush from Icing I paid $1.29 because it was marked down and I ended up getting two of them. I just use this brush to highlight under my eyebrows. My last favorite product is my Coppertone Sport Sunscreen with SPF of 75. This sunscreen has really helped me from getting burned this summer, and since I am a red head sunscreen is really important! I got the product at Walmart I do not remember how much it was I am assuming it was anywhere from 5 dollars on up.

The two downfalls this month is Makeup Wipes from Hot Topic and nail polish by Whet that I got from Ipsy. The makeup wipes I got from Hot Topic is just called Makeup Wipes and it has little anchors on the package. The reason I do not like the wipes is because it is really hard to get my makeup off since the wipes are not at all hardly wet and you have to add water to it. I only made $2.00 for them, so I guess I cannot complain to much right?! Whet nail polish is an okay brand, the color is beautiful once you had several layers but it is just really wet (haha pun much) it's just really liquidy and kind of mess I thought.

Well butterflies this is the end of my favorites and downfalls! I hope you guys have liked this post and I am planning on doing a blog in a few weeks to talk about College and what I have gotten for my supplies and everything else. Posted below is a picture of the items I talked about (except for the nail polish I forgot to include it in the picture) and a link to the video on Youtube where I talked about the items. Also I will leave links below for my photography page on Facebook, Instagram name and my Youtube channel! Have a good weekend and I will type later!

Last Day of July! Where did the summer go?!?

        Seriously where have the summer gone?!? Can we just like back track to May and slow down the summer this time? Please! I start to school August 25th and I am sooo not ready to go back. How about you guys are you ready for school? Do not get me wrong I like school but since I am transferring to complete my degree, I am starting at a new school and I am just a tiny bit nervous.

         This summer has been amazing, no I did not have a summer love unless you count my friendship love with my friends. Normally I do not hang with friends during the summer but this year was totally different. There has only been like 2-3 weeks out of the whole summer that I have not seen my best friend. I cannot wait until August 6th though a town an hour away from us is throwing a free concert and are bringing back Trick Pony! I am totally rambling now, but that is okay right! Ha! :)

         I will post again in a few days to tell you guys some of my July favorites! Read soon!
