Probably my most used item this month would have to be the Bite Beauty Deconstructed Rose Lip Gloss Set. I’m not usually a huge lip gloss person, but I’ve really been enjoying these lip glosses! I actually looked at it right after it came out, but wasn’t sure since I’m not big on the gloss, but eventually I caved and picked it up. There are 12 different shades and they are all beautiful, plus the formula is pretty amazing! I think my favorite shade has been “Six” because it’s just a nice neutral, while not being too neutral or pale of a gloss. If you see this set in a Sephora (it has disappeared from the website so I think it’s gone online), definitely grab it! J
For lips, I’ve also been loving The Body Shop’s Colour Crush Lip Shine in “Fuchsia Flirt”. I have been a huge fan of the Colour Crush Lipsticks for a while now, so I wanted to give the Lip Shine version a go. They are basically semi-sheer super bright colors that are so, so comfortable! I don’t notice a ton of shine with these, but this (and it’s the only shade I’ve tried so far) is a wonderful lip color, especially for Summer. It gives that popsicle stain kind of effect and I’ve grabbed for this lipstick countless times this month. Definitely a fav!
Moving on to blush, I also have two favorites this month. The first one is from theBalm and it’s their Hot Mama Blush. It’s a gorgeous peachy-pink with a golden sheen. I’ve heard it’s a dupe for NARS’ Orgasm, but I haven’t compared the two to verify that. I really love the formula as well as the color. It’s not at all chalky or powdery, and it’s quite pigmented. It gives the cheeks just a gorgeous, healthy flush with a slight sheen that looks natural and not over the top. Absolutely beautiful! J
My other blush favorite I wore mostly at the beginning of the month. It's a Powder Blush from Jouer and it’s in the shade “Blossom.” It’s just a beautiful, soft pinky-peach shade that also looks nice and healthy on the cheeks. It’s a very soft color and it kind of makes me think of watercolors for some reason.
To hide my always dark under eyes, I’ve been addicted to my NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer. I swear this stuff would cover a third arm and still look natural! J It blends so wonderfully and doesn’t crease, while still looking like skin. It’s absolutely fantastic. I’m not sure how I get through some months without using it, but I do seem to forget about it from time to time.
I’m not usually too fussy over body washes, but this month I discovered the Organix Nourishing Coconut Milk Hibiscus Body Wash and it smells amazing! It reminds me of the beach (not that I ever go to the beach) with just the best coconut scent I think I’ve ever smelled. It’s also sulfate-free so it doesn’t strip the skin of its natural oils as much as most other body washes do so my skin never feels tight or dry after I use it. In case you’re a perfume lover, don’t worry, the marvelous coconut scent doesn’t linger – though I often which it did! J And if the marvelous scent and non-drying formula aren’t enough to convince you, it’s totally affordable from most drug stores as well! J
I think that about does it for my favorites this month. I haven’t really been trying a whole lot of new products this past month, but I have tons on my list that I’d like to test out! J What have been some of your favorites in June? Anything that I should definitely check out? Let me know and we can all share our beauty addiction together.
