June Favorites!

Hi everyone! I'm back with a new favorites post! June was a really great month. I don't have a lot of favorites this month but I'm always happy to share some of the products/things that I was loving and discovering for the month of June. Lets begin!



I am soooo excited to share this product. It is the Peripera's lip tint. This is a Korean lip tint. After discovering that Forever 21 was selling these lip tints I knew I had to get my hands on one of them. Korea is known for their lip tints and I have always wanted to try it out. It did not disappoint me at all. It comes in a bottle shape and an applicator brush. It can get kind of tricky when applying because the formula of this product is quite watery. I would use my finger and dab the product all around my lips. I got the cherry juice which is a very nice red color. The packaging is also extremely cute! And, it was also very affordable. I believe I got it for only 12 dollars at Forever 21.


I finally decided to try a new cleanser with my Clarisonic. This one is called the Gentle Hydro Cleanser. I have always used the Clarisonic Gel Cleanser as a combination with my Clarisonic but I had decided to try a new one to see if there will be a difference in my skin. This one was quite a hit or miss for me. I liked it because I think it really does a good job cleaning and hydrating my face. The one I used before was a gel formula but this one is more of a creamy formula. I didn't realize that it was a non-foaming cleanser so I was kind of bummed out. I am always about the foam because I feel like it is easier when using my Clarisonic. Other than that, I really liked this and was glad I tried it out.


This next one is not beauty related but since I have been crazy about it, I wanted to mention it here. I got these at Tillys and I really like it. I have never been a fan of necklaces or accessories in general but I have been wearing these nonstop. It is a gold color leaf style necklace and the other one is just a round pendant with a tree like design in the middle of it. It just adds a pop of color especially when I'm just wearing a plain black shirt. I love it and I never knew how much one necklace can change a look up so drastically. Definitely a favorite for June.



This next one is a nail polish. It is the Sinful Colors Professionals in the color Thimbleberry. This is a nice pink colored nail polish. It is not light pink but more of a darker and brighter shade of pink. It looks absolutely adorable and perfect for Summer. I totally neglected this nail polish for a while until recently I decided it was a perfect look for Summer and wore it all month long. 




And lastly I have the Nature's Republic Moist Steam Cream moisturizer. I am soooo super sad that they weren't selling my favorite moisturizer the Aqua Cream moisturizer I have always used from them. That was me and my girlfriend's holy grail for moisturizers. So we went in after using up our last one but we couldn't find the one we always used. One of the ladies who was working there asked if we needed any help. We told her we were looking for the one we always used and she said that they ran out of it. I was devastated. But she suggested we grabbed this other one instead. She told us that she had recommended this one in replacement of the one we always used. So we decided to try it out because we had no other choice.The packaging as always is creative and cute. The texture was definitely more silicony which isn't a word but I have no better word choice for it. It is also really moisturizing so it gives me the hydration I need. It is definitely also really affordable. I'm glad I had this as a replacement but I would love to have my old one back.

Unboxing-Ipsy (July 2015)

Hello everyone! Welcome to another Ipsy unboxing post. 
I am so excited for the bag this month. I love seeing this bright pink bag in my mailbox :)

  
The theme of this month is "Summer Lovin'." It is all about Summer! I'm guessing the products I get are going to be summer essentials. The bag for this month is super cute and colorful. It definitely goes well with Summer. I can't wait to see what's inside!



The first thing I see in my bag is the Tarte deluxe Amazonian Clay Waterproof Bronzer. 
I am so happy to get this! It is only a deluxe size but I know this will last me for a while. I love Tarte. It is a high quality brand that I always enjoy. I have not tried any bronzers from Tarte before so I am really happy to get a sample to try out first. The exterior design looks like any Tarte signature look with the snake skin-ish feel to it. I am really excited to try this out. 



The next thing I see is the Pur-lisse 4 in 1 gentle soy milk cleanser. I've heard so many good things about this brand. I've always wanted to try it so I am super stoked to try this. It claims to wash and cleanse away all make-up including mascara. It contains blue lotus, white tea, soy proteins, sea silk,and lupine peptides. All sorts of things that this brand claims to have inside this product. I am looking forward to this and see if it can really purify and clean my skin.



Next, I see a Be a Bombshell lip balm in the color Ruby. I've heard of this brand but I have not tried any of their products before. I get kind of picky when it comes to lip balms because I can get severe blisters if it doesn't work for my lips. It claims to keep my lips hydrated and silky smooth. It also says it leaves a hint of color which is something I like.


Next one is a perfume called Classico by Jor'el Parker. I'm not really sure how I feel about getting fragrances. I'm not a big perfume user so I'm not sure if I will be using this a lot. It is in the form of a rollerball which is something I like since I don't use it a lot. The smell is pretty strong but I might grow to like it so who knows. We'll just have to see.


Lastly I got an eyeliner called Eyetini Swizzle Stick Eyeliner in Blue Hawaiian. Like I've mentioned many times, I love getting eyeliners because I'm a sucker for them. This is a nice opaque blue color that will definitely give an extra pop of color to my eyes. I really like the blue color of this eyeliner. I am always up to trying bright bold colors. I will definitely be rocking this color for this summer. #SummerLovin'
