I'm doing a hybrid favorites post since I totally skipped the month of May and we are already well over June. I tried not repeating items from previous monthly favorites but honestly I didn't check older posts so there might be so repeats! It's hard not to include HG products every month!
Clinique Brow Shaper
Probably the one makeup item I inherited from my mom. Not literally, as I got my own product in my own shade, but she's had her for almost 20 years now and there's still product remaining on her compact. This brow shaper is the best thing that has ever happened to my brows. It fills them in and it looks incredibly natural. It lasts all day and the compact itself I know will last me for years to come!
MAC studio fix fluid
Best liquid foundation I've ever tried, and best color match I've ever gotten. It's probably the yellowest foundation I've tried and I love it because I'm as yellow as they come. (I use this foundation in NC25 btw). Every other foundation I've tried, even those I've loved because of their texture/finish, I've never been able to match my undertone so perfectly. It doesn't break me out that I've noticed, but I might still have to test it more.
Maybelline Age Rewind Dlouble Face Perfector
This is one of those two-in-one products, it has a concealer in one side and and highlighter in the other. I've used this product every day for the past months to conceal my undereye area and I love it! It has replaced my MAC select moisturecover concealer that I used under my eyes. This Maybelline concealer is very pink based so it's PERFECT for the under eye area but too pink for the rest of my face. This cover the darkest under eye circles, stays on ALL DAY and it doesn't crease at all. Even my MAC concealer creased everyday! This dries very fast and absolutely does not crease. The highlighter end I don't use often but it reminds me a lot of Benefit's High Beam, except a little more liquidly, a little less pink and little less shimmery.
MAC Hipness Blush
I have it in the Fafi compact instead of the more recent To the Beach green compact, but yeah, this is my absolute favorite blush from MAC! Most blushes from MAC I have a hard time getting them to show up on my skin but this one is pure pigmentation. It looks almost like a shocking coral pink in the pan but on the cheeks it gives the most amazing subtle flush. You CAN overdo this blush if you are not careful. It is really pigmented!
NARS Deep Throat blush
I got this in April for my bday from my mom and I was kinda disappointed with the pigmentation because people rave about NARS blushes being the big shit in terms of pigmentation. After having a hard time getting orgasm to show up, I wanted Deep Throat to prove my suspicions wrong. At first it didn't and the only NARS blush that showed up on my was Torrid. When I read that Deep Throat was close to the MAC Marine Life highlight powder (that I couldn't get!), I couldn't believe it because ML was crazy in-yo-face coral and DT was invisible on me. I gave it another try and it seems like I was being to light-handed the first time around. I made DT work. And I can't believe the gorgeous color I was missing out! I've used it a lot these past months and I love it!
Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Hidden Treasure
I got this after seeing swatches online, and then searching every drugstore I could reach to buy it. This is one hard to find item in my area! The search was totally worth it because this nail polish / glitter top coat it amazing. It has irregularly shaped glitter chunks of different sizes submerged in a whitish / clear glaze. This doesn't show up so great on the nail by itself but over some other colors it is AMAZING. It looks especially breath-taking over dark colors like black, navy blue or deep purple.
Wet n' Wild Color Icon single eyeshadow in Nutty
These days everyone knows that the new WnW Color Icon eyeshadows are DA DOMB. I picked up this particular color because I don't have any taupe eyeshadow color, and this looked like a nice one. Plus, I already have one Color Icon Palette and absolutely love it, so I knew this shadow wouldn't be the exception. So. I picked this up and found it to be a great color either for an all-over lid color with a darked color in the crease, or my favorite combination, using a lighter color all over the lid (like MAC Shroom) and using the WnW Nutty in the crease. I use this last combination almost everyday I wear makeup :)
That's all for my monthly favorites! Hope it was interesting for you and not too long and boring :) Anything in my list you own and love? Or maybe it didn't work for you? Comment and let me know! What products did you absolutely love in June?
