Gerard Cosmetics – Serenity

Gerard Cosmetics

Hydra-Matte Liquid Lipstick

Serenity

Purchase here!

One of my favorite YouTubers Manny created a beautiful shade with Gerard Cosmetics called Serenity. Not only is this a beautiful shade, the formula of this product is absolute perfection. It applies on the lips very easy and creamy, thick and opaque. Then it takes a second to dry and then it looks perfect, and stay on the lips for a very long time. I will definitely be getting this product in different colors.

Below is when first applied and then 30 seconds after.

Make Up Forever – Step 1 Mattifying Primer

Make Up Forever

Step 1 Skin Equalizer

Mattifying Primer

Purchase here!

Make Up Forever came out with 10 primers, some of them are for the texture of the skin and some are for the tone. The one that I decided to try out is the mattifying primer. This stuff feels like glue on the face. It is so mattifying. I do like this product for under my foundation, but I like it more by itself. I have oily skin, so when I don’t put on makeup I like to put this on for a flawless look.

MAC – Crystal Glaze Gloss

MAC

Crystal Glaze Gloss

Purchase here!

This product was part of MAC’s Giambattista Valli Collection. The lipsticks in this collection sold out very fast, but that was okay because I was more interested in this product. MAC’s website said that is was a gloss that can transform any lip color to have a pearlescent finish. This is such a unique product and I am very glad that I picked it up.

Patentpolish Collection

Innocent

Purchase here!

I love this MAC product! It is very moisturizing and easy to apply. This color that I purchased is very neutral and doesn’t show up much on the lips, I would have gotten a different color if I would have know this. But, my mom has many of these in deeper shades and they are visible on the lips. I recommend this product, just maybe not this shade.

July Favorties

July Favorites

July was surprisingly such a good month for me. First off, I started trying to get a blog post out every weekday. It is hard, but I am loving it so much! The next big thing that has been happening in July is that since I am on summer vacation I came up with a very strict schedule for the day that I have been trying to stay on and I absolutely love it! I might write a blog post on how to come up with a strict schedule that fits your lifestyle. It completely changed my summer. I have quite a lot to talk about because a lot of my favorites of the month are events, so let’t get to it!

Makeup

Gerard Cosmetics – Serenity Hydra-Matte Liquid Lipstick

This is one of my favorite YouTubers Manny’s collaboration with Gerard Cosmetics. Love love love this!! Not only is it the perfect shade, it applies so easily, dries matte and actually stays on your lips for a long time.

Becca – Becca x Jaclyn Hill Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed / Champagne Pop

Another one of my favorite YouTubers Jaclyn Hill collaborated with Becca and created Champaign Pop. I am obsessed with this hilighter, I have not used anything else since. I wrote a blog post about it here!

Apparel

Moschino Loungewear

I got this on sale from one of my favorite online shopping sites ASOS. I wrote a blog post about it here!

Music

Hozier

Obsessed with this album, it is perfect! I don’t know why it took me so long to actually buy the album and listen to it.

One Direction – Drag Me Down

This song came out last night at like 1AM and I didn’t sleep thanks to One Direction.

Events

Okay, so most of my favorites this month are events. I enjoyed them all so much!

– Taylor Swift’s 1989 World Tour

– Warped Tour

– Hedwig and the Angry Inch on Broadway with Darren Criss

– Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett Cheek to Cheek Tour

MAC – The Best Summer Foundations

MAC

The Best Summer Foundations

From one extreme to another, here are two foundations that are perfect for the summer. One is extremely lightweight and one is full coverage and will not move off your face.

Studio Face and Body Foundation

This is a completely lightweight foundation, it reminds me of my tinted moisturizers. It is water based giving you a very natural satin finish. It feels like nothing is on your face at all. I have been wearing it all summer.

Pro Longwear Nourishing Waterproof Foundation

This is the complete opposite, this is a very full coverage. I wore this for a few sunny outdoor long day sweaty concerts and it did not move off my face. It really is waterproof and very full coverage. It says it lasts for 24 hours, I did’t wear it quite that long but I could easily believe that.

MAC – Le Disko Collection

MAC

Le Disko Collection

MAC’s new collection is all about glitter. They came out with 12 eyeshadows, 5 lip colors and 2 eyeliners (one silver and one gold). At first I was not too interested in this collection, but when I went to the store to look at them I fell in love. The shadow can look different in different lighting (as you can see below).

Get them here!

Becca x Jaclyn Hill – Champagne Pop

BECCA

Becca x Jaclyn Hill Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed

Champagne Pop

One of my favorite YouTubers Jaclyn Hill collaborated with Becca Cosmetics and just released a highlighter called Champagne Pop. I ordered it on sephora.com the second it was released. The package finally came today and I have to say I was so excited I may have shed a tear. The color is perfect for my skin tone, and I usually have a hard time with highlighters because I am so pale. I am obsessed with it and I will be repurchasing because I know I will go through it real quick.

Definitely go check it out, I think it will work on so many skin tones.

Burberry Makeup

Burberry is my favorite brand, I love the style and everything about it. So I figured that I would try some of their makeup. For the lips I tried a classic red. I love the way the lipstick feels on the lips and the lip gloss is so pigmented and smells so good. I also wanted to try the fresh glow. I love this for the summer because it gives your face a perfect glow. You can either put it on before your foundation or mix it in with your foundation, and it comes in two colors.

Lip Glow – Ruby No. 16

Fresh Glow – Nude Radiance No. 01

Lip Velvet – Military Red No. 310
