august favorites

I was like.. I don't have any favorites this month... I was wrong! 

 

1. Mistress Hydrating Hair Balm by IGK: I love the hydration deposit when I use this after washing my hair in the shower! Liked it so much that I went back to Sephora to learn more about the products and grabbed a few other things. 

2. MicroSmooth Baked Foundation Powder by Sephora (Deep Ebony 60): I think I finally found my powder to set! Feels light. I like it. The end.

3. Happy Hippy Shower Gel by LUSH Cosmetics: The grapefruit scent is so lovely first thing in the morning yet soothing. (I turned the package as I was writing and there is Bergamot in it which is "thought to clear the mind of anxiety and help to give mental clarity.")

4. Monsieur Big Mascara by Lancôme: I was just OVER the fallout from Better Than Sex.  The more you stroke this the more powerful the lashes...a single wiggle + swipe is amazeballs for day-to-day wear. Lasts so long ) really long) and doesn't flake on you.

5. Smoke & Mirrors Conditioning Cleansing Oil by IGK: After success with Mistress I went back for this stuff. My hair felt so soft afterward and was easy to detangle during the cleansing session! Surprised that it works so well and I actually look forward to using it on wash day. 

6. Instant Magic Facial Dry Sheet Masks by Charlotte Tilbury: Ummmmmm... This is the best sheet mask out.  I saw it on the Charlotte Tilbury/Huda Beauty vid months ago and finally grabbed it when I found myself in a Nordstrom for the first time in months. It did not disappoint and is worth every penny! I've been sending pics of it to all my friends to grab!  I love that it's dry. Those gel ones are BS to me and so gooey. *bleh* (These can also be used up to three times per mask!)

7. Rouge Dior Lipstick by Dior (Chocolate Matte): It's everything that I hope for in a neutral lip color.  (I'm thinking of doing a post on my favorite nude shades on my skin color.) 

8. Everlasting Liquid Lipstick by Kat Von D (Hawkwind): I believe the formula on this is changed cause it definitely lasts longer and stands alone without adding liner!  Such a beautiful nude color for me. :) 

Yay!  Happy September, y'all.
