June Favorites
Hello my little loves! This month I didn't have a lot of physical favorites but still I put a few things together that I wanted to talk about so let's get started!
Carli Bybel pallete with BH Cosmetics. I got this a few months back because the price was relatively cheap (under $15) it had eye shadows and highlighters and from what I had read/seen, it had pretty good reviews. This was when I was shopping around and trying to figure out what to build my collection with as I was just starting. So I ordered it, got it and finally now have I started to use it and let me tell you, I love it. I feel as though everything is pretty pigmented, I love throwing on a highlighter, a shade or two on my eyelid and then going about my day and just feeling done up lol. I haven't really started to play around with my eyes because I feel like that's a whole field on it's own but the few times I have used the eye shadows I feel like they're easy to apply, not a scary amount gets on the brush, they blend well and like I said, I just feel nice when I am wearing them. I will say, maybe it's my brushes, but I do experience some fall out on the palette, like the little dust that gets around but I just easily take a napkin or my hand and will wipe it off. But on my face I haven't experienced any fallout. So as for me now, I have loved this palette and would recommend it, for beginners, for experts, just buy it! lol
My new Starbucks cup haha. I know, I have a problem, I have too many tumblers but am I harming anyone really? No lol. This beautiful little mint metal cup is from Starbucks, it is a grande and it's just so cute, I have been using it mainly for shakes but maybe I will use it for other things, we'll see. The thing with me is, which I learned the hard way, if you use a cup a few times for something, it starts to leave the taste behind. This is mainly an issue for water, which is why I designated my big tumblers for just water. But yeah, just be warned, if you want to use your cup for water but use it a few times to order some passion tea lemonade, your water might start to taste like VERY diluted PTL. But as for my cup it's super cute, super summery and unintentionally matches my gel nails right now.
NYX angel veil primer, this again is something I got a few months back and I have used it a few times and I personally really like it. I feel as thought it definitely helps keep my make up on longer because somehow I once forgot that step and I feel like it kind of just melted off. I did do some research, I saw some beauty gurus use it in their tutorials so I went with it, I like it, I recommend and if you don't like it let me know why or what you think is better! I would say, since sometimes this info is important to note, I would say I have dry skin, I get oily so maybe I am combo but I have eczema and so sometimes from that or just my skin on it's own will become really dry and flaky and I will get little dry patches. So maybe if you have super oily skin this primer won't be the best? But I could be wrong.
Vaseline. OMG maybe because I have been using this stuff for years but I can not live without this stuff. I honestly keep one in every bag I use, so my purse, my backpack and I have a big tub that I keep with my like daily essentials and apply it mainly before bed and after I shower. There are different like "flavors" or scents, whatever it is haha, the big one and this little one are both cocoa butter, the one in my purse is rosy lips which has a light pink tint to it and there are other ones like creme brulee. But this is my chapstick, they have lasted me a long time, I have somehow managed to never lose one so hopefully I get to fully finish one. It really helps keep my lips moisturized and soft and helps from getting those little wrinkly lines from when they're all dry and shriveled up lol. HIGHLY recommend this stuff, go pick one up NOW! You will NOT regret it!
Sunnies! These are the first pair of sunnies I own in a LONG time and idk why but that's just how it happened. I ordered these in the beginning of June, they are the rose gold gemini sunglasses from the Quay x Chrisspy collab which they are no longer selling on their site but they might still have a few at other retail stores? I got them on their site on one of the last restocks they had and I set up the alert, got on and just ordered them. They are super cute and I just feel like a bad-ass when I have them on. I will say, I don't know if they were modeled differently or maybe how they were styled but I didn't realize that they were a bit oversized, at least they are for me, so I am still trying to figure out how to place them on my face so they aren't overpowering but nonetheless, I LOVE them.
Shoes, I have two pairs this time. Both from Forever21 that I bought last summer. A pair of sandals with a black and nude strap and these I feel like are just cute little sandals that are a little more dressy and presentable than flip flops. They aren't the most comfortable for serious walking around but they are cute, which is all that really matters. And then color block espadrilles. I thought these looked somewhat like the Chanel shoes which I obviously love but could not currently buy so I settled for these and they are pretty comfortable! Not only that but I wear these without socks and my feet never smell after I wear them. There are some Tory Burch ones that look almost identical to these that I just saw and so you can pick which you want and how much you want to spent to get them lol.
And that's it for this month! Over the summer, just want to quickly touch on something, I am working with my dad at the office/company he works at and they offered me a seasonal position. This is my first time working in an office, answering phones and just getting the whole office feel and this job has probably been my number one favorite! I have been working there for like 2 weeks now? 2.5, something along those lines and I just, I now can confirm that having my own little office and just working on my own excel sheets is what I want to do with my life, which was nice to be reassured.
Now that's actually it haha. I will see you all Tuesday, I hope everyone has a great 4th of July and I can't wait to show you all my spread for next week.
Love,
Bee
