August Beauty Favorites

Here are my favorite beauty products for the month!! These are the things I've used pretty much on a daily in August!!

#1 NYX When Leopard Gets a Tan Bronzer!

Mackenzie (my lil mini me) Got into all my expensive bronzers and did WORK!! So needless to say I haven't restocked and this has been my go to for the time being! Its a really great bronzer, just the perfect color for my fair complexion! I love NXY products ... they are high quality cosmetics but with  drug store prices!

#3 Another NYX product.... NYX Wonder Pencil

School starting means early mornings and extra late nights for me! This pencil helps me brighten my eyes and hide all the exhaustion!! This pencil also helps your eyes appear beautifully large!

#4 NYX yet again...{ can you tell I've been loving me some NYX lately} NYX eyebrow cake powder

If you don't fill in your eye brows you need to get with it ASAP!!! Filling in your eyebrows frames  your faces and really can polish off an entire look! This little kit comes with two shades,wax ( to keep your brows in place all day),application brush, and eyebrow brush.

#4 Pop Pouty Pop Lip Crayon 

I love this stuff!! It goes on nice and smooth plus *bonus* its not really a pencil so NO SHARPENER... All you have to do is twist the bottom and out it comes!! This is in the shade of Coral Crush.

#5 Last but not least, Maybelline Classic Volume Express Waterproof Mascara

I'm very picky when it comes to mascara and this one has the Redhead's stamp of approval!! It lengthens your eyelash perfectly without the clumping nightmare! I prefer using waterproof mascara because my eyelashes stay nice and curled all day long. 

It was nice chatting with Y'all! What are your go to beauty products I'd Love to know, leave me a comment below!!!

Are you melting away this summer?????

It's hot and humid in my parts... So I need something to keep my make-up in place all day not just until I get to the front door!! 

Right now I've been using Urban Decay all nighter setting spray.I just spray my face before I put anything on my face and I apply after I've applied my make-up.

Using primers is another way to help your make-up stay put!! I use an all over face primer from NXY 

As well as a face primer... I take it a step further and use and eyelid primer.( I also apply it underneath my eyes so those pesky fine lines aren't has visible! I love the eyelid primer from Two Faced

Don't forget to set your makeup with powder or translucent powder and apply water proof mascara!!!

It was nice chatting with y'all!!!

What are you doing this summer to avoid your face from melting away?! I'd love to know leave me a comment below!!

Lets get goooorrrgeOUS!!!

I'm addicted to trying to look my best!! I love finding new secrets  or attempting new and exciting looks!!! Here's just a tad of my favorite pinterest finds here lately!!!................. and if your nice I might post my makeup routine with y'all fabulous peeps!!!

THIS ONE IS IMPORTANT!!!

I  agree that having a nice sun kissed glow can do 10 million things for a gal.... It makes you look skinner and  more tone....(that should sell it's self lets be for real) It makes you look healthy and not so washed out and it really completes an outfit!!!! Cara does an absolutely  amazing job at walking you through how to self tan!!! 

Check it out here .....How to apply self tanner!

*** tip of the day she mentions using baking soda to remove self tanner from your hands... but if you add a little lime juice it works a trillion times better!! I always keep a bottle of the pre-squeezed lemon juice on hand!!*****

My favorite thing right now when it comes to make up is highlighting and contouring!!! Cara again does a fabulous job walking you through how to apply your bronzer and highlighter!!I can't go a day without doing these steps anymore! It really defines your face and leaves you looking like a super model...which who doesn't want to look like a Victoria secrets model on the daily!! Check it out here!!!

I've tried this countless times.... and it always ends with me busting out the make-up remover cause I look ridiculous!!!! Cat eyes are just so sexy and sophisticated!! They also have a timeless look about them that I'm in love with!!! This tutorial looks easy breeeeezy and I must try tonight!!!! Check out this lovely how to !!!

                                                                    Cat eyes!!!!

Its summer time... time for wedges, cute strappy sandals, and heels!!! Lets face it the cuter the shoe the worse it hurts for the most part at least.The theory we have lived by for so long "Beauty is Pain" might not have to be so true anymore!!This is suppose to prevent blisters!! Just rub Band-Aid friction block on the parts of your feet that stick to your shoe !!! I haven't tried this one out yet but interested to see if it truly works or not!!

Products I'm loving...

Some of my favorites right now are.......

I've recently switch to Mario Badescu products and just after a few days I can tell my skin looks a lot better... I was starting to get concerned... I mean I love a good cheetah print but def not on my face!! Make sure you have a good cleanser depending on your skin type, toner, and moisturizer that has a SPF to protect you from the summer sun!!

I love this lip gloss!!! I've never heard of juice Beauty before until I got a tube of this in my monthly glam bag!! Its a very light and natural color! It smells fruity and is not sticky at all!!!

I love this bronzer and it smell like coco...  double plus!! What I love about this bronzer is that its not to harsh for me ( I'm pretty fair skin) and is great for contouring!! A little goes along way .. which is always nice! ( I swear I can't leave ulta without spending a bill.. ughghghgh)

Well I hope these tips and tricks have helped you!!!!
