Summertime Beauty: December 2014

This month I really didn't wear too much make-up because I was so BUSY! But I was able to find a few new things that I am really enjoying!

I have been trying to find a more yellow toned foundation for a few months now. I really wanted to get something from the drugstore, because I didn't want to spend $30+ on a high end foundation right now. I FINALLY FOUND ONE! I was at Wal-Mart making my normal rounds in the beauty department and Revlon isn't really ever one that I gravitate towards, but that day I did! I got the Revlon Colorstay foundation for combination/oily skin. Mine is in the color 150 buff. I'm really digging this! It does stay put for quite some time and it evens everything out. This is a medium coverage foundation. If I try to build it, it just moves everywhere, so that doesn't work for me.

Have any of you tried the Real Techniques brushes? They are just wonderful! I needed a brush to set my under eye concealer and I actually found this one in my collection. DUH SUMMER. (eye roll at myself) It's perfect for what I need. It's small enough to get into the areas that you need it to, without messing anything else up. It's also really soft, like all of their other brushes.

Milani is one of my favorite brands at the drugstore. They have some of the best blushes I have ever came across. So, since I haven't worn much make-up this month, when I did I wanted something more natural looking. Luminoso is what I grabbed almost every time. It's a light pink-peach color with a hint of gold shimmer. You can definitely overdo it if you aren't careful. But it gives you such a beautiful glow. You do not need a highlight when using this, unless you really wanna. ;)

Next is a Nyx Butter Gloss, I love these things. They are pigmented and creamy and they smell like HEAVEN. My favorite color this month has been Red Velvet. I wear it by itself, over pink lipstick and over reds. It's beautiful!

If you are looking for an amazing liquid liner, that is also cheap, then look no further! This has been a favorite for many beauty gurus, for quite some time, but I just got it. It is the N.Y.C. Liquid Eye Liner in black. This makes winged liner so simple! It stays forever and it is super pigmented. For only $2.99, you can't beat it!

Last, I want to talk about the Simple Oil Balancing Cleansing Wipes. I like these because I have oily skin and if there is anything that can help it in the slightest then I am all about it! They get everything off that needs to come off and they are wonderful for sensitive skin. I'm into many of Simple's products because there aren't any perfumes, dyes or alcohol. If you wear contacts and other wipes bother your eyes, try these! I also really like the exfoliating ones.
