October Beauty Wishlist




My never-ending beauty wishlist is back at it again with more products that I've had my eye on. I'd have the say the star of this month's wishlist is the Anastasia Beverly Hills brand, as I have two palettes featured below. I also am really loving the look of the Gerard Cosmetics lipstick in the shade 1995 and want to try it for myself! Keep on scrolling to see what other beauty items that made it on my wishlist!

I have had my eye on this contour kit by Anastasia Beverly Hills for a while now. Use the darker shades to sculpt out your cheekbones, and the lighter shades highlight and set your under-eye concealer!



This is another Anastasia Beverly Hills product that I've heard great things about. The Maya Mia palette has the perfect matte shades for fall with a tiny pop of color.




I think I may just need this 1995 lipstick by Gerard Cosmetics. Not only does it come in gold packaging, but the color is the perfect representation of the 90s lip.



I know this Nars blush in Deep Throat has been around for a while, but I feel like it is the color I have been searching for. It has a deeper peach tone than anything I already own with subtle shimmers.




This Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer not only is supposed to smell delicious, I've also heard this is a great overall bronzer to have in your makeup collection. Definitely want to try this one out!




I am not familiar with too many face primers, but am looking for one to fall in love with. I need one that can smooth out my skin and keep my makeup lasting all day. I have heard great things about this  Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer and the way it makes your skin feel.

July Beauty Favorites



If you've been following my blog since the beginning, you've probably noticed that at the end of every month there is a beauty favorites post. What qualifies a product to be considered a monthly favorite to me? It doesn't necessarily have to be a brand new product or something that I've never used before. Although, there may be a few newbies here and there, the products that make it into this post are the ones I find myself using most often during that particular month and would also recommend to others. The below six items definitely fall under that category and have been a part of my everyday beauty routine.

1. I've had my Neutrogena Visibly Even BB Cream - Light to Medium for a few weeks now and have been using it everyday. I love the finish it gives to my skin and that it contains an SPF of 30. I will definitely continue to use this throughout the rest of the summer.


2. Although I've had my Benefit Fake-up Concealer - Light for months now, it has been so easy to use during my summer makeup routine. I apply it in a small triangle shape under my eyes and quickly blend it out with a brush. 


3. I've also had my Naked Basics Palette by Urban Decay for a while now, but have been using it all throughout July on the days when I've been putting eye makeup on. I've mixing the lighter shades for a bright lid color, and then adding some dimension in my crease with the shade Naked 2.


4. My most used brush of the month has been the Real Techniques Blush Brush. I have been mainly using this with my Milani Glow bronzer, which I like to apply pretty generously. When I'm on the go and don't have a lot of time to do my makeup, this has been the only brush I've been using.


5. When I first received my Anastasia Beverly Hills Brown Wiz in the shade Soft Brown I was not really a fan. I've been so used to filling in my eyebrows with powder or a pomade so switching to a pencil was a little different. However, after trying it a few more times it quickly became one of my favorites. I just applied with a little lighter pressure and then used the spooly side to blend it out. I've been loving it because it allows me to fill in my brows real fast without looking sloppy. 


6. The Hourglass Femme Nude Lip Stylo in the shade Nude #2 has become one of my favorite nude lip products. It's a little expensive for a lip product, but the packaging is beautiful and the actual lip color has been the perfect beige nude for me.

July Beauty Wish List


I hope everyone is either nice and relaxed or hungover from their holiday weekend. Either way, that's how I know you had a nice weekend! Today I've put together a few beauty items that I've been wanting and have heard great things about. Some of these products are fairly new, including the Lorac Pro 2 Palette and the Loreal Miss Manga Mega Volume Mascara. Others are just products that I've literally heard so much about and need to try for myself, such as the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz, and the infamous Beauty Blender. I've already ordered the Brow Wiz in the shade 'Soft Brown' and am waiting for it's arrival along with the Hourglass Femme Nude Lipstick in shade no. 2. I've also been on the hunt for a new BB Cream to use during the summer and read such great reviews for the Tarte Illuminating BB Moisturizer. There's something about the word 'illuminating' that makes me really want to try it. Links for all products are provided below!
