Monthly Favorites: August

August came and went, now it's time for September!

These are the products I have used in August!

1. Aveeno Positively Nourishing in Energizing Pomegranate Grapefruit- I apply this after I take a shower and it makes my skin so soft and I love the scent. At first, when I took a quick sniff, it smelt a bit floral, but it really is pomegranate with grapefruit.

2. Dove Style+Care Strength and Shine Extra Hold Hairspray- I use this for my side bangs. Since my hair is naturally straight, the only way to keep it out of my face is to use this hairspray. Now, I am a total hair noob(meaning, I haven't really put any kind of hair product in my hair) and this thing is easy to use, not that hairspray usually isn't...

3. Mark Good Glowing Powder Blush in Golden Glo- Now this blush is definitely a bronze and it is so sheer that it has no point. Or so I thought. It is super shimmery or sparkly that I just use it as a highlighter on my cheekbones, carefully of course. It gives me a wonderful glow. 

4. Orly Nail Lacquer in Rage- Absolutely love this color! It's a metallic rose gold that is a bit bronze and I cannot live without it. Go get it now!!!!

5. Maybelline Ultra Liner Waterproof in Black- This liquid liner is really pigmented and gives me good control and generally stays in place. There is one thing I don't like: it flakes really bad when you take it off. This makes it hard to get off since the flakes go everywhere on your face and if you rub your eyes enough, it flakes quickly. Bleh!

6. NYC Smooth Skin Bronzing Face Powder in Sunny- Love this bronzer! The only other bronzer I have used is the ELF blush and bronzer duo and I did not like all that shimmer. This is perfect for me because it isn't overly orange and completely matte while still giving you that glow. 

7. Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Romantic- This has been my go to lip color. I just apply a sheer amount onto my lips and it gives me a nice flush of pink to them. If I wanted to go a bit more dramatic, I just apply more layers. 

I actually just added that ankle bracelet to the bottom because I thought it was a good accent for the picture. Ha!

PS: Tell me of a really amazing waterproof liquid liner! I really want one!

Haul: TJ Maxx, Target, Walgreens

I am going on vacation soon, so I bought a couple more things from TJ Maxx, Target, and Walgreens because I obviously need more things...right closet?

TJ Maxx:

I don't really know what provoked me to get this, but I got it. Annd love it. Annnd hopefully wear it. It has a cinched waist so it gives you an hourglass figure.

Price:16.99

Most of my tank tops are from Old Navy and I have had them for a looong time so I bought myself a new one. This is from American Eagle and glad I bought it at TJ Maxx since I am sure it costs a lot more than what I bought it for. 

Price:5.99

Target

Aren't these sunglasses cute?! They have a wire from that is painted white with gold trimmings. I personally think it is rose gold, but I wouldn't really know.

Price:16.99

This is probably the best eyeliner I have ever tried! I was not a fan of the Milani Liquify Pencil. Nice pigmentation, but horrible smearing. This eyeliner actually stays on me all day. It does fade, but no smearing in sight. 

Price:7-8.99

in bold brown

This Revlon polish is amazingly beautiful. It has these blue, finely milled glitters and silver chunky glitters. I put two coats on without a base color and look at it!

Price:3.49

in 441 radiant

I needed a new deodorant soooo I bought it? Target is having a sale this week were you buy a deodorant and get a spray free. For some reason, at the register it wouldn't ring up the spray for free, but the employees checked the advertising and the price tag so it was fine. If this happens to you, ask them to check it. It's not buy two get one free, its just buy one!

Price:3.89(for individual)

I got an EOS lip balm because I heard the strawberry was a good one. It really smells good!

Price:3-4

Walgreens

I got a new contact case at Walgreens and I think it is really cute. 

Price:3.39

That's everything. Thanks for reading!
