July 2012 Favorites

This month I fell in LOVE with Real Techniques brushes, especially the Expert face brush.

Can be easily used for liquid foundations, cream blushes, powder...

OH MY, it spreads out my cream blush like no other! 

You absolutely NEED it if you're a cream blush person.

I was also amazed by Kiko brushes 202 and 209 which are really nice for packing on eyeshadows and fine gel line. I had no expectations for their brushes but I was really surprised by their quality and operation.

Lush Charisma Skin tint (gel-cream bronzer) was also a highlight this month.

It blends out flawlessly- also thanks to Expert face brush- and it gives a lovely sculpted effect.

Worth trying out the formula in the Lush store.

I've been hating Revlon lip butters but Cotton candy surprised me after million attempts to like it.

I actually got to like them...not to mention I had to remove it from my handbag since I've been using only this guy. I still don't like the poor color pay-off though.

Soap&Glory Sexy Mother Pucker lipgloss- nice neutral shade with golden shimmer.

The thing that makes me like it- effective plumping effect.

Nyx Round lipstick in Power is in a nice medium mauve-purple color.

Color looks absolutely gorgeous on the lips- even though it's a bit vampy in the tube.

I tried my first real coral blushes (excluding Coralista) and they actually don't look horrible on my pale skin.

Catrice Apricot smoothie is a light peach-pink shade and it's currently on sale since it's discountiued.

Essence Dates on skates is a bright coral-pink ombre with the most beautiful brightening effect.

I use both with stippling brush since they are quite pigmented.

Essence My skin Cleansing gel replaced my good old Bebe foam.

It's perfect for sensitive skin and cleans the rest of the make-up really good.

Did I mention it doesn't irritate my eyes?

Essence Get BIG lashes Waterproof mascara- AMAZING! Deserves a whole separate review.

Catrice Oh, It's toffeeful! - Unique medium taupe gold with rose gold sheen

Catrice Grey's Philosophy- Rebuy of my favorite eyeshadow since it's discountinued and on sale
