My Late Favorites 2013

Hey everyone! Sorry for these late favorites. I don't know why these just slipped my mind. Usually I am a few days late with my favorites post but I am never this much late. I have been so busy lately and with all my spotted posts that I have been trying to get up, I guess I just put my favorites posts on my back burner and just forgot about it. I wasn't sure if I was even going to be posting this favorites up but since I already took the pictures and edited them, I am definitely going to be sure to use them otherwise it would have been a waste of time. I am not going to be naming this favorites my June Favorites but these are actually my May 2013 Favorites. I think I am just going to skip my June Favorites or maybe combine them with my July Favorites. Let me know what you guys think. Would you guys still want me to do my June 2013 Favorites or just skip or combine it with my July 2013 Favorites post? Definitely let me know by commenting below!

FOUNDATIONS & CONCEALERS:
◊ Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse Foundation "150 Classic Ivory" & "255 Natural Buff"
I have really been liking this foundation, especially with the Beauty Blender. I actually bought two because one was way too light for me so I bought one a bit darker to mix together to get my actual skin tone color. I like wearing this foundation but not during those hot days because it will definitely not stay on that long, especially for those with oily skin.
◊ The Original Beauty Blender
I love this and now definitely see what all the hype is all about! If you haven't tried this, definitely go out and get one (or two) for yourself. I have tried dupes in the past and the original is definitely where its all at. Its so soft and applies foundation on like a dream. I love using this with my Revlon ColorStay Whipped foundation and with my Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse foundation as well. I just wish that it didn't stain so quickly with foundation.
◊ Maybelline Dream Mousse Concealer "Light"
This is unfortunately my last back-up. I wish that Maybelline didn't discontinue this concealer because I love it for my under eye areas. It just brightens up my under ere area and makes me look more awake on those tired days where I just want to go back to sleep.

BLUSHES:
◊ Maybelline ExpertWear Blush "20 Pinch O' Pink
I love blushes and if its a pink blush, I am going to love it more. This is actually one of my favorite pink shades and actually my second repurchase of this blush.
◊ Philosophy The Color Of Grace "Beauty Is Art"
This is a light pink blush. Its actually blush with a highlighter or luminizer surrounding the pink blush but what I like to do is just use my brush and swirl it all around the compact. It just gives my cheeks this perfect pink shade and I always get compliments whenever I wear this blush.
◊ NYC Blushable Creme Stick "645U Big Apple Blush"
I don't really use creme blushes that often but if I had to chose only one creme blush from my entire collection, this one would be it. Its the most pigmented creme blush in my entire collection, that I have tried so far. I love using this underneath my powder blushes to give my blushes that extra staying power. I am sad to say that these NYC blushable creme sticks are discontinued but I have heard that some have been spotting them off and on at the Dollar Tree.

EYES:
◊ Revlon ColorStay Brow Enhancer "Light Brown"
I bought this at CVS from their clearance sale. There was only this shade and a blonde shade. Although this is a bit light for my brows, I love the concept of this and how easy it is to apply onto the brows. I would definitely love it more if they had a dark brown. Light Brown does have a bit of a red undertone to it so its not the perfect color for me but it does last all day on my brows.
◊ Physicians Formula Eye Booster 2-in-1 Lash Boosting Felt-Tip Eyeliner + Serum "Deep Brown"
I love this eyeliner and use it pretty much everyday. I don't really like using black eyeliner that much (unless I am wearing false lashes) but for everyday, natural eye looks I love this. I am still a liquid eyeliner beginner so this felt-tip applicator is great and easy for me to use. I don't know if it really helps my lashes grow but they do look a teeny bit longer when I have this eyeliner on.
◊ Physicians Formula Eye Shadow Matte Collection "Canyon Classics"
This is one of my favorite quads. It contains all matte shadows. I have a review with swatches already so I am not going to go into detail about this. LOL If you want to see my review with swatches, please click here: http://lisalovesmakeup87.blogspot.com/2012/08/reviewswatches-physicians-formula-matte.html
◊ Revlon ColorStay Eye Shadow Quad "505 Decadent"
I remember when I first got this and didn't really like it but now this quad has been growing on me. Its not the most pigmented quad that I have tried but the reason why I have been liking this is because I like using it for creating soft neutral eye looks. Plus I think once you get past the top layer, the eye shadows are more soft to the touch and more pigmented. I just love the two shadows on the left because they are great all over the lid colors.

LIPS:
◊ Nivea Lip Butter "Raspberry Rose Kiss"
This was actually my first lip butter and as you can see, I am almost done with it. Time for me to buy some more! LOL This just smells so good and is very moisturizing on the lips. I also have a review on this, if you want to check it out, you can click here: http://lisalovesmakeup87.blogspot.com/2013/02/review-swatches-nivea-lip-butter.html
◊ Tarte LipSurgence Natural Lip Tint "Perky"
This is actually my favorite shade out of all the Tarte jumbo lip pencils that I own. Its just a natural pink shade. I like the smell of these and the minty feeling that it gives my lips whenever I apply it. This is a great pink that goes with pretty much any eye look and is great for any day. Its very pigmented and isn't drying on the lips.
◊ Wet N Wild MegaLast Lipstick "909D Coral-ine"
This was actually my first Wet N Wild MegaLast lipstick and because of it, I have already bought about 4-5 more from this line. I was never a fan of matte lipsticks because they are always so drying on my lips and I am a person who needs to apply lip balm every couple of hours. This is a matte that isn't drying on the lips and I love how long it lasts on my lips as well. If you are looking for a drugstore matte lipstick that isn't too drying, you should definitely give this line a try!

So that is all for my May 2013 favorites!! Like I said earlier, I am sorry that I am posting this up so late since it is already July 2013 but I wanted to get it up anyways since I had already edited the pictures and watermarked them. LOL Hopefully it was still helpful and I will try not to let this happen again. If you have any questions about any of these products, definitely leave a comment below and I will definitely try to answer them to the best of my knowledge. Plus don't forget to check out my YouTube channel. I only have 2 videos right now but hopefully I will have some time to be able to post more since I had a fun time filming my second video because I was more comfortable. Also if you have any ideas on what my next video should be, leave a comment below as well. Thanks for reading!

The Beauty Box Haul (Feat. Beauty Blenders)

Hey everyone! If you didn't know, a website called The Beauty Box is having a sale where everything sitewide is 40% off. They sell a lot of high-end brands and have products ranging from makeup, skincare, to hair care. They just have a ton of products. They also have a store in Studio City, CA but the sale only applies to their online store. While browsing through their website, http://thebeautybox.com I was in awe at all the products that they carried. One particular product that I was most excited to buy was the Beauty Blenders.

I bought the Beauty Blender set, which comes with two beauty blenders. The set was regular priced at $28.95 but with the 40% off sale, they ended up being around $41 with tax and shipping included. Shipping was $5.95 but it was super fast. I guess because the store (or warehouse) is in CA too since it only took about 2 days to get to me. I was so excited when I got them in the mail and instantly took one out to try. I can actually say now I know what all the hype is because these are fantastic, way better than the dupes that I have bought and tried. The only con that I can say, so far, is that I hate how dirty it gets so fast. My foundation already stained it right from the first use and I couldn't get it all clean no matter how hard I tried to wash it off. I just wish that it could stay pink and clean after each use. If you would like to see a review on these and maybe a comparison against the Essence of Beauty one, please let me know.

I bought two sets because I bought one for a friend as a gift, which she has already started using and loving as well. Aren't I just the nicest friend? LOL The package also came with two samples, which were the Orlane Paris Extreme Line-Reducing Re-Plumping Cream. I was surprised that they gave samples but am happy that they do! I kept one for myself and gave the other sample to my friend along with the other Beauty Blender set.

I was actually shocked that they sold products like the Clarisonic, Beauty Blenders, Anatasia, Kevyn Aucoin, Butter London, Deborah Lippman, and so many other brands! All for 40% off retail price right now for a limited time. If you guys are interested, I highly suggest you go and check out the site now, especially since things are starting to sell out quickly. Also, the code to get 40% off sitewide is "luckybreaks2". I don't know how long the sale is going to last before, so make sure to buy before its over.
