August Favorites

Hellooo! Yes, we are a few days into September, but I thought that I would write a post on my August favorites! This is my first "favorites" post so I'll explain what they will usually include: beauty, hair, nail, and random products normally in no particular order. Let's get into them!

Beauty:

• eos lip balm in summer fruit. This smells AMAZING! It is so fruity and I literally want to eat it. It is also good at making my lips feel nice and soft.
• Revlon Lip Butter in Tutti Frutti. First off, the product is aaamazing. It is so creamy and moisturizing to the lips and the colors that I have tried out are all really pretty and pigmented, especially for a lip butter. This shade has been my favorite this month because it is a bright orange and perfect for summer and into the fall even. They aren't super long lasting (middle ground between a lipstick and a gloss), but I don't mind it at all.
• Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Loose Powder in Natural Beige. I don't like wearing a lot of makeup on my face ever, but especially in the summer. I only wore this when I went out this month and it evened out my face and looked natural. It absorbed any oils or sweat which is a plus.
• Elf Contouring Blush & Bronzer Powder in St. Lucia. They used to only have this in one color, but they recently added 2 new shades so the original one is now called St. Lucia. I love both of these colors and this is the only blush and bronzer that I used this month. The bronzer is neither orangey or muddy. Great for contouring. The blush gives your cheeks a nice peachy golden flush.
• Urban Decay 24/7 Electric eyeliner set. This came out in the later months of 2011 and was limited edition. I did buy this set around June or July in my local Nordstrom Rack and I recently saw that they still have them so yours might as well! My favorite colors this month have been Woodstock (hot pink), Ransom (purple), and Radium (aqua). I have been wearing these on my upper lash line for a pop of color. Check out my Daytime Colored Eyeliner tutorial to see how I like to wear them.
• Maybelline Color Tattoo in Too Cool. This is a frosty white color that I use all over my eyelid as a base to brighten up shadows. Stays on all day without creasing.

Hair:

• In the summer I mainly only scrunch my hair. This month I have been using Suave Mousse Max Hold. It defines my curls without making them crunchy. It gets the job done and I like how it makes my hair look.

Nails:

• Sadly, I do not know the name of this nail polish, but it is an electric blue color from Forever 21. It came in a 4-pack with the blue, a purple, a red, and a hot pink, but the individual colors did not have names and I don't think that the pack is sold anymore. That color has been my favorite this month, though. Looks great on the toes.

Random:

• Archer Farms Simply Balanced Freeze Dried Strawberries are delicious. I have been eating them all month either out of the bag or I put it into my cereal. Healthy, yummy snack.
• Lay's Kettle Cooked Jalapeno chips. I love spicy foods and these are sooooo good! I am not big on chips, but I can't resist these once in a while especially when they sell them at work. :/
• Keurig <3 My parents bought one a few weeks ago and lets just say that I am addicted to it. I am saving so much money by not buying coffee at work anymore which is a MAJOR plus. The coffee is also delicious and I can mix up the flavors and brands and everyone can make a cup of whatever coffee, tea, etc they want one after another. I have become a huge fan!

I hope you enjoyed reading about my favorite products and I hope that you comment and let me know if any of these are also your favorites. Also, let me know some of your favorite. I love discovering new products!
