May 2016 Favorites

It’s time again for monthly favorites! My travel schedule and skin drama did anything but slow down last month, and I think that’s setting the pace for summer to come. Overall, I’ve been loving sunkissed, glowy skin and juicy lips because it’s always a winner.

Watch the video below and scroll ahead to read more of my thoughts on the products mentioned.

Dior Addict Lip Maximizer Collagen Activ Gloss (c/o)
This is my newest gloss obsession! If you love plump lips, this is a gloss for you. It has a very wet look, which pops in photos. If you like the bareMinerals Marvelous Moxie glosses, the scent is quite similar.

Lancôme Juicy Shaker in Mangoes Wild (c/o)
These things are popping up everywhere because of the innovative packing and practical concept. The color selection is vast, but I most recommend the shade Mangoes Wild for a sheer pinky red lip. They won’t wear for an extended time, however they are a pleasure to reapply. I’m addicted to the hydrating oil texture and the mango scent of this particular shade.

Nuxe Rêve de Miel Lip Balm
Another night time lip balm favorite! The formula takes some getting used to since it’s a tad gritty, but it provides an incredible moisture barrier to renew your lips.

It Cosmetics Sunshine In A Compact Bronzer (c/o)
My favorite bronzer at the moment. The compact is huge and the color is perfect. It Cosmetics is really killing it this year!

Lancôme Glow Subtil Highlighter in Buff Lights (c/o)
The perfect purse highlight. The formula is silky and light as air, so it applies easily over powder which you can apply and reapply anytime as needed. The color is a true light champagne, a match made in heaven for my pale skin.

NYX Eye Shadow Base in Skin Tone (c/o)
It’s been a while since I’ve used a drugstore eyeshadow base, and this is a pretty good one. It’s slicker than MAC Paint Pots, so I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone with oily eyelids. My eyelids have been severely dry lately, so the NYX base has come in handy for helping my eyeshadows stay put.

Tata Harper Boosted Contouring Eye Mask
If your eye area is sore, tired, and needing help, this product works wonders. I had sticker shock at first, but now I can’t imagine anything healing my eye area quite like it.

Borghese Fango Active Radiance Oil (c/o)
Not typically an oil user during the day, this oil is light enough to apply over my dry patches. This product helps my CC cream not cling to dry patches or eczema as much. If you’re new to face oils, this would be an ideal one to start out with.

Sinful Colors x Kylie Jenner “Taupe Is Chic” Nail Polish
This polish is my new essie Fiji. It’s obviously more on the taupey nude side, which is even more wearable on both the fingers and toes. Of course this is limited edition, so get it before it sells out!
