My Monthly Faves: July



Here are my top favorites for the month of July!

There were so many products that I loved this month! Most of these are almost gone! 
If you haven't seen any of these products reviewed yet, you will soon! 

Self Tanner: Banana Boat Summer Color Self Tanning Lotion, "Deep Dark Color"
This is my favorite drugstore self tanner. It's very cheap and delivers immediate, olive-undertone color that doesn't look orange, even on fair skin. It doesn't have a strong self-tanner smell and is easily blendable. Definitely a must-have product if you can't afford higher-end self tanners. 
$6.47 at Wal-Mart 

Cleanser: Origins Checks and Balances Frothy Face Wash
This cleanser is perfect for combination skin and works to moisturize skin's dry areas while keeping oily areas at bay. Contains no chemicals/parabens/purfumes..etc. It has a fresh minty smell and leaves my skin feeling refreshed. A little goes a long way with this product and it lathers into a frothy gel. 
$20.00 at Origins

Eye Cream: Origins GinZing Refreshing Eye Cream
This eye-cream is said to "brighten and depuff" and it does just that! It's a pearly salmon color, and definitely illuminates the under eye area and brightens dark circles. It makes my eyes look alive, even on the night I got no sleep! It's the caffeine for my eyes.
$29.50 at Origins

Eyeliner: Maybelline Color Tattoo by EyeStudio, "Bad to the Bronze"
Even though it's made to be an eyeshadow, it's the perfect bronzey shade for light, natural eyeliner and stays put all day long. I reach for this product as eyeliner just about every day.

$5.84 at Wal-Mart 

Blush: Sonia Kashuk Beautifying Blush, #97, "Flamingo" 
I can't get enough of baby pink shades of blush and I seem to have a million of them. This light powder blush stays true to color on my skin and gives a perfect summer pink glow to my cheeks. 
$8.99 at Target 


Moisturizer: Arbonne RE9 Night Repair Crème
This chemical and paraben free all natural anti-aging moisturier is what I use after cleansing my face before bed. It has a delicious doughy smell and blends really well into my skin, leaving my face and neck moisturized all night long... not to mention the gentle all-natural anti-aging benefits!
$85 at Arbonne
 
Bronzer: Arbonne Bronzer 
Useful as a body bronzer and to add some color to my pasty white skin. It does contain shimmer and only comes in one shade...but when used sparingly, delivers a perfect summer glow! 
$36.00 At Arbonne
 
Powder: Arbonne FC5 Mattifying Powder 
I already have dry skin, however I love this powder so much, I use it to set my foundation every day. aIt helps to combat the oil on my t-zone and  it camouflages the redness in my cheeks with it's slight green tint. I pat it on with a fluffy brush and instantly hides large pores and makes my foundation look airbrushed. 
$26.00 at Arbonne

Lip Balm: Elf Cosmetics Lip Balm with SPF 15, "Pink"
I just picked this up last week and I've reached for it nearly every day since then. It's the perfect baby pink shade that offers moisture, sheer color, and sun protection... the trifecta for lip balms! 
$3.00 at Elf

Mascara: Maybelline Volume Express Colossal Mascara, "Classic Black"
A much-needed beauty product for those who have short, stubby lashes like I do. I've tried tons of drugstore mascaras and this one, I'm happy to say, has been my favorite and my go-to for every day. It does a great job of lengthening and separating my lashes without extra clumping. 
$5.94 at Wal-Mart
