Since I haven't done a favorites post this whole year and I find monthly favorites post a little bit daunting to find enough products to collect for I decided a current favorites post would be a fun medium. These last few months I have been loving a ton of different products, so new favorites and some old favorites.
MAKEUP & SKINCARE
First Aid Beauty Face Cleanser - This cleanser has been a staple in my skin care routine for the last six months or so. After hearing Ingrid Nilsen rave about how this product worked so well for her oily and sensitive skin in her skincare and monthly favorites videos, I knew I had to pick this product up the next time I was in a Sephora. The cleanser is gentle and fragrance-free and a great product to remove excess oil and makeup. The product is also great at cleansing the skin without drying it out or irritating it, which can be surprisingly hard to find in facial cleansers. No matter what skin type you have this product is worth the checking out.
Anastasia Brow Wiz - For years now I have seen beauty bloggers and vloggers raving about this cult classic but never got around to buying the product for myself and now that I have I don't understand what was holding me back from purchasing it. This brow pencil has hands down transformed my brows for the better and become a makeup bag staple. The color is a perfect match for my brows (not to warm and not to cool) and the product is easy and QUICK to use which is always handy since I always seem to be in a rush. If you're holding back on trying this product like I was don't, it's worth the money and all the hype.
Urban Decay Naked Skin Concealer - I think awhile back I might have put this concealer into a favorites post but I can't help but put it in another one because I love it so much. The Naked concealer is one of my all time favorite concealers, it has a medium to buildable coverage but is not heavy or cakey at all. I find that I only really need to put one layer on the spots and blemishes I want to hide to get my desired coverage. I highly recommend this concealer for anyone looking for a great high coverage concealer.
Chanel CHANCE EAU FRAÎCHE Perfume - This is my favorite summertime perfume. It's a light easy to wear fragrance and lasts all day. I absolutely adore this perfume and I wrote a full review on this perfume here.
Essie's A Cut Above - This has to be hands down one of my favorite nails polishes I have ever owned. Every time I wear this color I get so many compliments on my nails from random people telling me they love the color of my nails or that the color suits my personality (*which I will take as a compliment*). If you haven't read it yet I wrote a full review about this nail polish here.
ACCESSORIES
ACCESSORIES
Fossil Virginia Rose Gold Watch - This watch was actually a birthday present from my sister and my mom. They knew I had been eyeing this rose gold fossil watches every time I got to stroll through the jewelry counters and wanted to give me something special since it was my 18th birthday. I love this crystals on the rim of the watches face because they add a little something special to an otherwise basic watch, I wear this watch almost everyday and have found that it pairs great with my overall style.
Indigo Rd. Kokko Sandal - I love these wooden soled, brown leather platform heels so FREAKING much! I found these heels at DSW when I was looking for graduation shoes. At first I was a little skeptical because they weren't the wedges I had been eyeing for months but after trying them on and thinking it over for a day I ended up going back to DSW purchasing these beauties instead of the wedges. I like the fact that you can dress these heels up or down for any look and that even though they are a heel they are still really comfortable to walk around in all day.
Maui Jim Liana sunglasses - These glasses were a graduation gift from my amazing coworkers. They knew I had been eyeing these sunglasses from MauiJim.com and surprised me by buying them for me. I love that these sunglasses are polarized because I often find people looking at themselves instead of at me when they are talking to me and I find it rather amusing. I am beyond thankful for these glasses and my super awesome coworkers.
SPECK CandyShell Grip iPhone Case - So here's the story. On my old iPhone I had a super cute marble print case that I loved so much but it didn't protect my phone when it got dropped. So when I got my new phone I decide I needed to find a case that would a.) look cute and b.) keep my phone protected. I had heard about these cases from my friends and decided to try one out. I honestly love my phone case so much, its a cute pastel pink (one of my favorite colors) and I know that my phone will actually be protected this time. If you're looking for a good strong phone case these are definitely a great option.
