Favorite Summer Makeup Products 2017!

Tuesday: July 25th, 2017.

As some of you may know by this blog already how much I love makeup and fashion and sharing with you styles, tips and so on! So this post is dedicated to the products I've been using this summer, loving and why. Reviews to help you in your every day makeup life. Since summer is more then half way over as some of you are heading back to school and so on here is some help for your back to school makeup products or every day makeup use.

1. LORAC Pirates of the Caribbean Cheek Palette:

 If you are high lighter obsessed like me this is the palette for your face. It is super pigmented perfect for your highlight and blush contour look. From neutrals to your major high light. If you are looking for that right high lighter under a reasonable price. Then this is the palette for you. I live by it. Lorac is such a great brand and having this movie themed palette set was such a great idea. The packaging A + as it is set up to match the movie theme and the high lighters are covered with a protective moon seal as well as a nice mirror to go with. It also has a matching eyeshadow palette that it can fit in to carry both at once, very cute set. Reasonably priced with 6 colors, so worth it. You can get this Ulta and even Kohl's. For more Lorac products check out Kohl's beauty for a huge selection.

2. TOO FACED Better than Sex mascara:

 This has always been my go to mascara as most of you may already know this one as it hit the main stream of the best mascara about two years ago. But it is still my go to. I always try other mascaras to see if I like them more but nope I always end up back to this one. I tried six different mascaras this summer but it will never compare to this one. I usually buy the travel sized one since it is cheaper and lasts a while. Also because of bacteria you are suppose to change your mascara every couple months and you don't want to buy a big one to dry out too quickly so better off with the travel one which is a decent size. Sold in ULTA.

3. IT COSMETICS Bye Bye Under Eye Concealer:

 I received a travel size one of these in the IPSY bag monthly makeup samples. After that I kept seeing those paid programs of the It Cosmetics brand and my biggest thing is to find the right concealer for my under eye bags and this ended up being it. I have sensitive skin and it does not make me break out. And it actually conceals, a very good concealer/cover up look. And you only need a little dot under each eye and it spreads so much. I put concealer on every day and a small travel tube can lasts months. I ended up rebuying the product at Ulta it is so worth it. Being a newer brand it is one to check out.

4. ETUDE HOUSE Drawing Brow Pencil:

 I use to just gel up my eyebrows into place or put on some brown eye shadow until I really understood my eyebrows. I tried so many products until I found out about Etude House online. They are a korean makeup brand, known for all the trends, cute packaging, and reasonable prices. It is a two in one pencil. It has the brow brush as well as already shaped up pencil to fill up your brows. And for a nice quick brow, so worth it. You can find this brand online.

5. EYEKO LONDON Liquid Black Eyeliner:

 This was another product I received in an IPSY bag, a decent size of liquid black eyeliner that does not run out quick. It even stays on your water line if you're into that look. But I LOVE this eyeliner. I was looking for the right liquid for years. I always liked the pen kind to help draw on to get the right wing look. It lasts forever, does not smudge and its a deep rich black that does not look gray when the day goes on. You can reorder this on their website. Getting IPSY was so worth it because I found brands I really loved. 

6. LIQUE Liquid Lipstick:

 At Kohl's we recently launched this new brand Lique. So of course I had to buy some liquid lipsticks to try out. And so worth it because they have been my summer colors. I bought two different shades of red; Scandal and Flirt. One more pink then the other as the other is a deeper red. I tested out these colors, they legit last all day long. I've eaten with them on, had drinks, everything and the color does not move. It is a long lasting liquid lipstick and for hours stays moist. It takes a while before you start to feel any dryness to your lips, which is a lot to say about lipsticks. The colors are so pigmented, the color you think you are buying you actually are. So worth it. And very cheap. This new brand needs love! Long lasting and matte. They have other lip products too if you are not into the liquid kind.

 FLIRT

SCANDAL

7. KKW Cream Liquid Lipsticks:

 I tried to order these on the first run and it had sold out in my card since I really wanted to try these because I actually liked the colors and the idea of cream liquid lipsticks. They were in the pinks and neutral family which is my go to besides reds like if I am going for a more natural rather then bold look this is it for me. So I waited for the next sale at 6pm eastern time and bought my lipsticks. It took about two weeks to get to me though, but at least I got them. And I fell in love. They do not dry out your lips and are very moisturizing. I loved the colors. You have to reapply every couple hours though but it does last very long, but it does not fade ugly or make your lips look gross. So thats a benefit. It was a limited edition thing through Kylie Cosmetics though, but if you can find your way to get your hand on this set you might as well!

These were just 7 of my every day favorite products for the summer I LOVE to use. Most of these are newer products, some newer brands so I hope this helps when looking for makeup and all this year. If you want more makeup reviews like this, let me know! I have plenty more to review.

Love Always,
