These are the products that I have been loving this month along with some random favorites! I watch alot of Youtube videos and I often come across videos where people will talk about their favorite things of the month. So I thought I'd do the same; why not?!
I am a big Bath and Body Works junkie! I recently tried out their Sensual Amber line, which I thought was a men only scent, maybe I'm going crazy??? But this is definitely for a women, I promise! Anyways, this is probably my favorite scent in the WHOLE store. IT. SMELLS. SO. GOOD. It usually takes me ages to use up a shower gel but this one is almost gone and it's been about 3-4weeks. I LOVE IT!
Speaking of smelly good things, I've been loving the fragrance mists from Victoria's Secret. My favorite thus far has to be the Pure Seduction. I'm not good at explain scents, lol. I feel like some people will either love it or hate it. If you've ever tried VS's Lovespell, this is VERY similar.
I'm starting to run out of my go-to hand lotion,
True Blue Spa - Look Ma, New Hands and I wanted to try out a something new. I've heard good things about Hand Food by Soap and Glory. I love the way it makes my hands feel. I am constantly touching and dealing with paper at work and I paint my nails often, so I really appreciate a moisturizing creamy hand lotion. This most definitely is that. Although, it took me a while to get used to the smell of this hand lotion. If you can overcome that, it's wroth it.
I got this lovely surprise in one of the VIP Bath and Body Tote bags they offered around Mother Day. It's has been my favorite body lotion. I lather it all over my legs and arms after I get out of the shower. It has so many wonderful scents all it one product. I smell fruit, cream/vanilla, spice, it makes my nose happy! BBW has advertised the heck out of this Forever Red line. It is more expensive then everything else they have to offer but I can also see how this scent can be appealing to every age.
The lighting in my room really does not do this polish justice. It is a wonderful BRIGHT neon coral/pink. It's has been my absolute favorite polish this month. Must have for summer. :)
Orly's Luxe has been another one of my favorites this month. It has served as a wonderful accent to many of my neon polishes. It helps to create a glamorous look with very little effort. The polish application is amazing. One of the best metallics I own.
I am always looking for quicker ways for my polish to dry. I came across Orly Spritz Dry and I have been very pleased with it. Just a couple sparys of this after painting your nails is all you need. It does speed up the drying process BUT it doesn't not make your polish instantly dry/hard. You will still dent your polish if you're not careful. It does have a nice scent as well. Also, you have to be careful storing this product. If left on it's side, I find that it does leak out. :( It could be my bottle, but just be weary.
This is one of those products that I've had forever and am just now re-discovered it! It's been amazing and is now a staple item in my "Good-night" rountine. What I do is apply this to my lips everynight and come mourning, my lips feel amazing! I no longer have dry, cracked, or pealing lips. My lip gloss, lip sticks, and lip stains, apply wonderfully. I couldn't be more happy with this product!!
Again, this is another item that has found it's way into my routine. It is my go-to brush to apply my foundation. It applies it so evenly and it gives that airbrushed finish. It has worked well with every foundation I've used. I just love this brush, end of story!
Eyeshadow is one of those makeup items I will always skip if I'm in a hurry. I am not a big eyeshadow person, but this shadow has really made an impact on me. Stila Kitten is a low campaign color. It goes well with my completion and is easy to work with. I just swipe it across my lids and done!
I treated myself to a NARS blush this month. They are pretty pricey products (try saying that 5 times fast). But they never dissapoint. NARS Torrid is a wonderful coral blush with shimmer. Wonderful summer blush. I love the glow it gives my checks. Blush just makes me so happy. It is my favorite make up item, ever!
I am a huge Benefit fan but when I first heard of this product I was a bit put off by the name. The sales associate encouraged me to give it a try and I was very pleased. It's a nice under eye concealer, packed with moisture and vitamins. It conceals my circles well. This product doesn't really brighten. It's meant more for repairing and concealing. It may be my eye area but I do have to be careful with how much product I use underneath my eyes; crease city! In case you were wondering, I wear the color 02 - medium.
My eyebrows have been a battle ground for me my whole life. Especially for the past month, the lady who waxed my brows last made them way too thin. :( I love sporting big natural brows, I think it looks much better on me than thin high arch brows... bleh. Anyways, this product has done a wonderful job helping me to achieve the natural big brow look without it looking crazy fake. It's so easy to work with and blend.
The next two items are my splurges of the month but I highly recommend testing out these products before purchasing. It took me weeks to figure out if I wanted to spend the month on this primer and foundation. I have tried about 5-6 primers in the last couple weeks and have been really critical. I need something to control oil, hide pores, and really help my makeup last. THIS has been my holy grail item of the month! The angels sang with I found this... no, not really but you get my point! I have not found anything better but the price tag... is scary. I went for the small bottle, which cut the price in half. I highly,
highly recommend this product if you have problems with your make up lasting.
Hourglass Immaculate Liquid to Powder Mattifying Oil Free Foundation *takes a breath* WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE?! I could make a whole blog post just dedicated to this product. It is the most amazing make up product that I own and will be forever loyal to. It definitely wroth a look at, ESPECIALLY if you have oil prone skin like myself. This will last all day with minimal to no touch ups and looks VERY natural. The foundation I was using before this was Revlon Color Stay, which was GOOD but I knew there was better out there. So started my search and find mission. I tried everything foundation on the market with words: "matte" "last all day" or "shine free" in the title. This by far was the WINNER! :) :) :) Again, I highly highly recommend trying this out before jumping on it, because of the price tag. It is very high end.
These flip flops are my favorite fashion item this month. I purchased this last year at Target. They are Rose Gold flip flops with gem detailing. It's one of those items that really goes with anything. The gems really help to dress up the flip flop. I have been wearing them constantly.

| Cinnamon Chex |
This is my random favorite of the month, Cinnamon Chex!! Omg, they are so good!! I love me some Cinnamon Toast Crunch, but sometimes it can be over whelming. This cereal is a great balance of sugar and cinnamon. Every other chex has the cinnamon/sugar coating. It has been my prefect weekend breakfast food. :) Yum~

| Black Star, Soul, Tsubaki, Maka, Patty, Liz, Blair, Death the Kid |
My favorite show of the month has been Soul Eater. It's a rather silly/fun anime about people born as "weapons" or "meisters" who attend Death Weapon Meister Academy. The minster wields the person who can transform into a weapon, both have to work together. In the show they follow 3 sets of partners, Maka/Soul, Black Star/Tsubaki, Death the Kid/Liz and Patty and all their adventures. Death the Kid is definitely my favorite. He's a little OCD because of his obsession with symmetry. It's a fun anime that has helped me to kill time while I work out. All the episodes are available on Netflix.
Last but not least, my favorite song of the month is
Icona Pop - I Love It. Everytime it comes on the radio I must BLAST IT!
Well, I guess that is all! Thank you for looking/reading~
