Favorites of the past months

Hello! I know is almost August and I am just posting my May and June favorites, you know the drill, I do not rotate or try new products often so my favorites will be from the past two months.

On a daily basis, I use a little bit of makeup, concealer, powder, blush, bronzer, and mascara. Well and a little of eyebrow products.

So let's get started.

*Skincare*

Let's start with face products.

Nivea Men Post Shave Balm.

Okay, before you laugh, if you watch youtube videos you know Nikki Tutorial made this one viral because she claimed it was a good primer. I do not use it just for that purpose but it does help with the staying power of my makeup. 
My face is really sensitive so in summer time it gets really red because of the heat, and because the balm helps to calm irritated face it has really help me with my red face haha! Be aware that this is supposed to be used by men so it has a men cologne scent, but after minutes the smell goes away.

NYX Angel Veil Primer


I think this primer is supposed to be a dupe of the Hourglass Veil Primer, I haven't tried that one I just felt the texture at Sephora, the Hourglass one is thicker and leaves the skin with a more velvety finish.
I love the NYX one because It doesn't feel heavy on the skin but it helps to keep my makeup in place, in the summer months I tend to use more light weight products so my face doesn't feel like is going to melt.

ORIGINS High-Potency Night-A-Mins.

I have used many little samples of this cream and it never fails me, even on the warm weather when my face tends to be more oily, this face cream is never too heavy for me. I used it as a night cream because when you go to sleep is when your face needs more moisture to prevent any wrinkles. I love it.

Algenist Complete Eye Renewal Balm.

I had to wrinkles on my under eyes from smiling, so I noticed that when I started using this eye cream the line started fading and now they are almost gone! It's awesome!

Mario Badescu Facial Spray With Aloe, Cucumber and Green Tea.

You know those aisles that Ulta and Sephora have when you are ready to check out where they have travel size stuff they are dangerous because they make you buy stuff you do not need. Well I saw this little guy I thought this could help to refresh my face thought out the day, it is really refreshing and it smells really good.

UD Meltdown Makeup Remover.


I have been using this one to remove my makeup, I spray it onto a cotton round and then remove my eye makeup. It really melts down waterproof mascara like a boss.


*MAKEUP*

Urban Decay Naked Heat Eyeshadow Palette. 
Is no surprise I have been loving this palette. If you want to know more about it I have already a blog post.



Anastasia Beverly Hills & Nicole Guerriero Glow Kit.

This palette is a steal, what I love about this palette is the variety of colors that can work on many skin tones. I use Forever Lit & Kitty Kat and it looks so amazing, they do not emphasize my texture and they do not look patchy.

 ELF Total Face Palette.

This has been my go-to palette from the past months because, is practical, has everything I need and the colors are really pretty. They are not that pigmented they give a more natural look, I like it because I normally do my makeup in a hurry so if I use something that is too pigmented I can easily ruin my makeup, this is foolproof, if you are scared of blushes or bronzer and you have light to medium skin tone try this palette is $6 at target, it gives you the liberty to build color without looking like a clown.

 Benefit Erase Paste No.2
This concealer has a peachy tone that is supposed correct dark circles, and it does, it brightens the under-eye area, I have some dark circles because I stay up late watching Netflix haha.

Maybelline the Rocket Mascara.

My all time favorite mascara, it gives my lashes volume and length, and it survives to this sweaty weather. 

*Tools*

Royal & Langnickel Multi-Purpose Powder Brush.
I love this little blush for, bronzer, powder, blush, is really soft and it applies product really good.

Sigma Large Shader- E60

I use this brush to set my eye primer and to put eyeshadow all over my eye lid. I love it.

Face Secrets Eye Shadow Blender Brush.
If you are trying to find a dupe for the Sigma E40 this one is a pretty good one.

Flower Beauty Sponge.

God! this is a dupe for the famous Beauty Blender, is so soft and it blends my foundation so good.

Bye! Hope this post helps in anyway :) have a great weekend.

JULY'S IPSY GLAM BAG

July's Ipsy Bag Unboxing.

Hey! Hey! Hey! So Ipsy decided to come early this month, and before I forget to make a post about it, I am going to show you what I got this month.

The bag this month is pretty cute,  Gutetama is a Sanrio character introduced in 2013 based on an egg lacking "spunk". Guedetama stands for "gude" lazy and "tama" egg in Japanese.

Very odd but this month Ipsy bag came in a gold package.

 What I got?

Tarte Rainforest Of The Sea Deep Dive Cleansing Gel.

Is a 0.25 Fl.Oz bottle so maybe it can last up to 3 uses, depending on how much you apply I am not excited about this product because I already have a cleanser I swear by, so I am going to give this one to my sister.

Buy Here 

111 Skin Harley St. London Space Defense Bright Eye Lift Gel.

I am really excited to try this one, this is a very very luxury brand for the full size you pay $126 dollars :O crazy right, but it has amazing reviews, all the people rave about this eye gel it claims to reduce dark circles, puffiness and fine lines. 

Buy Here

So Susan Cosmetics Brush

  

I couldn't any price or link to this product, is a simple eyeshadow brush, I have lots of brushes so I will be giving this one to my sister. The brush is cruelty-free.

TreStique Mini Concealer in Porcelain.

Ipsy features a lot of TreStique product almost every month. I am not a really big fan of their products I always end up giving them away.

$10.00 Buy Here.

Trifle Cosmetics Rasperry Riffle Ombre Radiance Blush Palette.

This ain't no palette lmao, this is tiny! .3 grams my eyeshadows are bigger than this! Well since I can use this one as a blush palette, I can use it as eyeshadows, but I know my sister can make a better use out of them.

$17.95 Buy Here. 

To be honest I didn't like this month's Ipsy bag except for the expensive eye gel haha.

Ride or Die Tag!

Holy Grail Products I Can't Live Without. 

Hello, Beauties! Have you ever thought "What if all my makeup disappeared? What would I repurchase?" Well, this is what this tag is about! The products I will repurchase if something happened to all of my makeup.

We will start in the order of what goes on the face first.

PRIMER

Without a doubt these two. They both perform beautifully on top of any moisturizer and they make my foundation look better.

The Cover Fx one helps with the longevity of my makeup and to treat any blemish I may have. The Smashbox one gives me a better canvas to apply my foundation so it gets rid of some texture and it blurs out my pores.

FOUNDATION

I do not wear foundation every day, I want so say I wear it 2 to 3 times per month, so I do not buy and collect a lot of foundations because I do not use them really often. When I bought this one after watching tons of reviews on YT I decided to get mine, I gotta say It is one of my favorites because it gives the coverage I need, it doesn't make my face look cakey or heavy and paired with a good primer it can last for a long time.

POWDERS 

Let's start with the MAC Studio Finish Powder Foundation like I told you already I don't use liquid foundation every day, I use a powder foundation, this one gives me the coverage I need, it helps control the oiliness on my face and it does not feel heavy for everyday use.

NYC Smooth Skin Loose Face Powder, sadly this is discontinued, when I do a full face makeup look I bake my face and this powder really helps and do a really great job, it doesn't feel heavy.

CONCEALER

Because I do not wear foundation every day I use a concealer that gives me a good coverage, the Benefit Boi-ing concealer is the one I use the most, it covers my imperfections really good, is not heavy or cakey.

The Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer in the shade neutralizer is the bomb for the under eyes. It has the perfect yellow undertone to conceal but a the same time cover my under eyes, is not a thick formula it just glides on so good I love it!

BRONZER 

+

Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer

I know, I know maybe you are already tired of people raving about this bronzer but, let me tell you is amazing! like the name says it feels like butter and it just glides on the skin, it doesn't get patchy, it has the perfect tone to bronze but for us light skin girls it doesn't give us an orange look. Girl trust me, plus it smells like vacation ahh I LOVE IT!

BLUSH

Too Faced Papa Don't Peach Blush.

If you are a fan of NARS Orgasm blush, you are going to love this one, is a coral with a gold shine blush that gives the cheeks the most healthy glow, I used this one for two months straight without using another blush.

TARTE Amazonian Clay 12-hour Blush in Exposed.

If you don't mess with blush a lot and you are looking for a blush that can go with any eye makeup or a natural blush, in general, this  is the one, is a pinky-mauve color that gives a settle color to the cheeks, I reach for this blush when I do my eye makeup more dramatic and I don't want my blush to be too much.

ELF Studio Blush in Tickled Pink.

This is a coral blush with a satin finish, it has some shimmer but it doesn't transfer to the skin if you are looking for a settle coral blush that gives your cheeks, well go check this one out is only $3 bucks, and it is amazing for the price point.

HIGHLIGHTER 

MAC Mineralize SkinFinish in Soft & Gentle.

If you read my blog often you already know about my love for MAC'S Soft and Gentle, with this highlighter I discovered the magic world of glow! I will never get tired of this highlighter.

BECCA Shimmering SKin Perfector Pressed in Champagne Pop.

Ahhh, this highlighter gives me life, is so perfect and it gives the most amazing glow to the skin!

EYES

Eyeshadow

TOO FACED Chocolate Bar Palette.

No need to talk much about this one, love it, has everything I need to do many many makeup looks, and it has all I ask in an eyeshadow palette, you NEED IT the end.

MASCARA

Covergirl LashBlast Mascara.

This was my first mascara back in the days when I was 16 and I started wearing makeup, this mascara holds my curl, ya girl has to curl her eyelashes every day because my lashes are straight, so this mascara helps with that, plus is waterproof so it won't anywhere.

Setting Spray/ Setting Powder.

You need both! that's all I can say. Plus the elf one is like $3 dollars it sets my under eyes so good my concealer never creases.

Hope you enjoyed this post :)

Remember my recommendation on this products are based on my experience, skin type, and personal preferences.
