June Favorites

Rock & Republic Blush in Call Me: I bought this blush long time ago. It's sad they don't make this anymore. In all honesty, it's my everyday blush. It's a gorgeous, neutral peachy pink blush that looks good on light to medium skin. Not only is the color gorgeous, it lasts all day. With all these years, I hardly made a dent. This will last a lifetime.

The Body Shop Shower Gel in Frosted Cranberry: I received this from a friend as a gift. It's actually my first shower gel that I've used from The Body Shop. I don't know why it took me this long! I only need a little amount to foam up and lather my whole body. It's quick and it makes me feel clean afterwards. Not only that, it smells good!

OPI Nail Envy Nail Strengthener in Original: I bought this and it's one of those products that I repurchase all the time. It's one of the best nail treatment products I have ever used! I have weak nails that break easily and I use to let it naturally get strong. Since I bought this, I haven't stopped painting my nails. Not only that, I've been getting little cracks recently at the tips. After I use this product, it disappears.

Mario Badescu Seaweed Night Cream: I bought this in a set at ULTA on Black Friday several years ago. At first, I didn't know what to think because it looks like green paste. Once I apply it onto the face, it's spread easily and my skin absorbs this product quickly. It keeps me hydrated and last all day long.

Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Bow N Arrow: I bought this lip product and loving the color. It's a great color for fall/winter season. I can see people wearing it all year round but I personally prefer for fall/winter. Not only is the color gorgeous, it's long lasting.

June Finished Products

Belif The True Cream Moisturizing Bomb: I received this sample. It's easy to use. I just apply it onto the face and it quickly absorbs into the skin. It doesn't leave a greasy texture and it hydrates the dry patches. With that said, I cannot see myself using this product during the winter. I don't think it will hydrate my really dry skin.

Would repurchase: Maybe.

Person & Covey SolBar Shield: A friend from church gave me this sample. I have never heard of this brand until I just Googled it. It seems like it's a popular brand. My skin absorbed the product instead of laying on top of the skin. That's a huge plus! I don't want a product that only protects the outer layer. I need something that's absorbed internally to protect from inside out. With that said, it felt like a moisturizer more so than a sunscreen. It didn't leave a greasy feel or a chemical smell. It did leave a slight white skin. It isn't as bad as I've seen.

Would repurchase: Maybe.

Model in a Bottle Eye Make Up Remover: I received this product. When it came to removing eye makeup, it was gentle on the eyeshadow but it took an effort to remove the eyeliner. For that reason, I used it to remove the face makeup. It worked really well since it was gentle on the skin. There were no tugging involved.

Would repurchase: No.

Pacifica Purify Coconut Water Cleansing Wipes: I received this product in a goody bag. It did do it's job. It cleaned and wiped away the makeup. I just wasn't keen on the smell but that's personal preference. I also was not a fan of the size. It was half the size of the original wipes, and I would use two at a time.

Would repurchase: No.

Maybelline EyeStudio Lasting Gel Eyeliner in Blackest Black: I purchased this product long time ago. I'm impressed it never dried out and was able to get to the bottom! From my experience, most eyeliners dry out before I get to the last drop. Not only did it not dry out, I enjoyed this product. It was dark, bold, and matte. I'm not a fan of shiny eyeliners, as well as, non-black. The only thing is it doesn't dry quickly enough. When I use an eyelash curler, the color comes off. For that reason, I would curl my eyes before I apply the eyeliner. Once it's set and dried, it lasts all day.

Would repurchase: Yes.

Aveeno Positively Nourishing 24-Hour Body Moisturizer in Refreshing: I received this product. This is great for the summer season. I cannot see myself wearing this during the winter weather. It won't be hydrating enough. For the summer, it's a light lotion that absorbs quickly and hydrates enough.

Would repurchase: No, I believe it's discontinued.
