June Favorites!

So a lot of beauty vloggers on the tube of you, do a monthly video outlining their favorite things. for the sake of my two readers, i'm going to be doing the same.

there will be some avon stuff in here, not only because i'm a representative, but because i'm discovering a lot of new products because i am a representative. but they have not asked me to review anything, and everything i am putting on this blog has been purchased by me (AVON or not)

Number Eight: e.l.f. blush brush.

it looks like this:

and basically it is perfect for contouring, which i don't like to do heavily because bronzers look funny on me. but this brush provides the perfect touch and angle to contour lightly and without streaks. plus, it's $3.

Number Seven: clean & clear skin brightening facial cleanser

i purchased this cleanser on a whim while in my first few months at school, and it literally cleared my skin up. i guess because i had been drying it out with acne washes for so long it could actually remain balance with this wash. plus it makes your skin feel all cold. but if you don't like beady things on your face, i'd skip this wash. $5-7. (i stock up when they're on sale because i don't know if it will be discontinued or anything.)

Number Six: avon supershock liquid lip shine with spf 15 in melon madness

here it is in the tube and on my mouth. this lipgloss comes out in the current campaign, and i ordered an advanced demo to see if i liked it. the wear time is good. the color is not too sheer and not too pigmented. ever since MAC released wonder woman, i've been seeing a lot more of these larger tubes/wands. this, like my MAC lipglass in wonder woman have huge applicators, but unlike my wonder woman it doesn't splash out of the tube when you yank it open (and you do have to do a little yanking) $5 (this campaign)

Number Five: ALDO verch.

Verch is a handbag that i literally got yesterday. so i cannot verify if the quality will lead to breaking quickly. i can only say that i love this bag. it is the perfect size, and shape and color and print. it is great for city life because it have a zipper and a flap that snaps closed. it fits all the things my previous cross body bag was too small to fit, plus it looks more mature.

it retails for $40.

Number Four: avon moisture therapy intense hand cream

my uncle's girlfriend put this into my christmas present. and my first thought was oh nice, i need some hand cream right now. so i put it on as soon as it was out of the bag. my life has literally changed. the same way lemony flutter (which will always be the best cuticle cream ever) changed me, this hand cream became the best hand cream i've ever used, and now everyone in my family uses it. it's probably the main reason i decided to become an avon representative. to spread the love of this hand cream. since christmas, i've used three tubes. i use it nightly on my hands and feet. the thing about this cream is, it's really weird. it feels almost like vaseline when you apply it, but after like 45 seconds, it's absorbed into your skin leaving you free to touch things, which some former hand creams or salves leave it impossible to do. everyone in my family has also started to use the body lotion from the same collection, and in otherwise super amazing news for me, the body lotion now comes in an SPF 15 version which was really lacking for me. cause i wear sunscreen everyday in summer. 3 for $5, during this campaign.

Number Three: e.l.f. eyelid primer.

this primer takes a little more work than say, urban decay's potion primer, because in order for this one to work the same as udpp it has to be set with powder before you apply eyeshadow. BUT the reason it's on my favorites list is because it is $1. ONE DOLLAR. UNO DINERO! at target, this little puppy is constantly sold out, so i like to get honey bunches of eye primer when i see they're in stock. for that little extra effort, it's worth the $17 dollar difference between e.l.f. eyelid primer and udpp. end.of.story.

Number Two: essie borrowed and blue

such a big photo, yo. that's cause i imported it via tumblr. basically i bought this polish for $4.5 at woodbridge mall, essie's are usually closer to $8, so i was pumped, and this color is kind of hard to find, so i was really pumped actually. i love the way it looks on me and on other people (i put it on my very tan friend the same day i painted mine) i have used this nail polish at least four times since i bought it two weeks ago. that's a large amount of times for someone who has nail polishes in her collex she hasn't even ever tried.

Number One: wet n wild mega liner liquid eyeliner in 861 or black.

i cannot use felt tip liners, sam i am, i cannot use them in a box, i cannot use them on an ox. wet n wild liners have a brush tip. which i firmly am in favor of. and i appreciate it so much. basically since i have purchased this, about two months ago, i have used it everyday i wore makeup. it is literally the find of the century to me. because it's $3-$4. for something i use so hardcore, that's cheap.

this is my attempt to show you the liner in the bottle and on my eye. it goes on smooth and it has a lot of staying power. it packs a lot of black into the color. it is the best liquid liner i've ever tried ever. i rec it to everyone ever. that's why it's my number one june favorite.
