June 2015 Favorites
This was a month of nudes for me. And for refreshing my face and making sure my lipstick stayed put all day long. With the kids out of school and no major plans, I really was able to focus on doing my makeup in the mid-day....I know I didn't go anywhere half the time, but at least I was a diva house-mom for the day right?

May Favorites
I know my last post was a monthly favorites as well, but here we are at the end of May, and my brain hasn't been in the greatest place this month. It's been a whirlwind of a month, so I am happy it is June!
These 5 items are the ones I reached for almost every single day in May:
Too-Faced Chocolate Bar Palette - The big cream shade is my go-to brow bone color. I wish I had only that color. The only other colors in this palette that I use regularly are the 4 in the bottom left hand side.
Makeup Geek Pointed Crease Brush - I have found that this works really well for applying ColourPop's matte shades in my crease. It is stiff enough to pack on the color, but soft enough to blend the cream type shadows without rubbing them away.
Loreal Voluminous Extra-Volume Collagen Mascara - This is the most amazing mascara I have ever used. It packs a punch in the volume department and lengthens just enough for me. Bonus: there is no flaking or smudging. I will continue to repurchase this until I die because it's that awesome.
Bobbi Brown Bronzing Powder 'Medium 2' - I finally found my perfect bronzer. It's not too warm toned but is reddish...or works well with my pink undertone. It blends out wonderfully and I'm hooked. I can already see the rings from the packaging.
Loreal True Match Foundation 'N2 & C3' - I mix these together to get my perfect match. This foundation covers well, doesn't break down, and feels light on my face.

My last favorite of the month is this Origami Owl necklace I ordered from my mom's site. I have been wearing it as much as I possibly can. My favorite piece is the Big Dipper. So sparkly, and tiny enough that the necklace doesn't overpower me. These are from their Core Charms line...super cute. If you are ever interested in ordering from Origami Owl please go to jewelskerner.origamiowl.com and see what you can create! I am impressed with the quality and the ability to 'customize' a piece of jewelry just for me.
Thank you for reading this and I hope you have a wonderful June! What were some of your favorites in May?

April Favorites (A little late)
I'm going to start doing monthly favorites. Aka: my most loved items throughout the month. You know the drill.
Bobbi Brown Bronzer 'Medium 2' - A pinky undertone on this bronzer. It does not look muddy on me at all. I actually was not going to buy this because in store, under those crazy florescent lights it looked insane. As soon as I walked outside and looked in the mirror under the sunlight, I literally ran back into the store and snagged the last one on the shelf. I needed a pinky undertone because I am pink. When I "tan" I get more freckles and basically just burn. Thank you Irish background.
Bobbi Brown Bronzer brush - HELLA expensive, but oh so gloriously worth it. No words can describe this goat hair brush...it's that good.
Loreal Voluminous Collagen mascara - I wore this years ago and then forgot about it. I'm hooked. No flakes, no smudges, 2 coats equals volume and length. It reminds me of Too Faced's Better Than Sex, only better...and it's drugstore!!
Clinique Pop lip colour + primer - the name of these is ridiculous...but the top shade is Plum Pop, and the closed one is Bare Pop. Straight addicted I am. I also have Beige Pop, but it's hiding in my purse at the moment. They are not long-wearing, but that's alright. They are moisturizing, smooth, and are the best feeling on my lips lipstick I have EVER worn. Cherry Pop will be in my hands as soon as possible.
Bare Minerals Mineral Veil - I have been using this on my damp beauty blender to set my under eye concealer with. My daughter told me my eyes looked super bright, so this became an instant favorite. Once this sample runs out, I will for sure repurchase. The illuminating mineral veil is also awesome...it does have shimmer in it, but that's fine by me. I need all the illuminating I can get.
