May Favorites ♥

Benefit Gilded Eyeliner (tangerine gold highlighter)
I LOVE.. I repeat LOVE this for my inner corner tear duct area and since I've been tanned lately it looks great. It can be worn for both day and night looks, I prefer to wear it for when i want that bronzey look (which has been every day for weeks now lol) . It can also be used like a primer to give that extra pop of color on the eye lid.

MAC's Sheen Supreme Lipstick in Asian Flower 
This Lipstick is my favorite lipstick ever hands down! She is my soul mate ha ha! I have no idea how to explain this product except that you need it, fa real! It has this smooth texture with lots of pigment and is the perfect color for all year round. Compliments so many skin tones and there is no need for mixing. Usually when I apply (& I'm sure I'm not the only one) a lipstick I have to apply a lip balm or some sort of gloss so it wont look too cakey or dry but there is no need for it with this lipstick..You just throw it on and go SIGH, love...that is all.

Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gioia
oh my bajesus... How did I make it in life without this perfume? I'm soon going to do a collective perfume post so you can see the various perfumes and scents to my liking. Then maybe you'll get a wif as to why I am obsessed with this fragrance. I wear it about 6 out of 7 days, no lie & I'm a little timid that I might finish it up way too fast that's why I cut one day out of the week ha ha. It's one of those scents that you just cant stop sniffing, perfect for summer. It's like Summer in a bottle =P.

MAC's Arena Eyeshadow 
It's a satin eyeshadow with a soft gold peach with pearl tone. I've been using this religiously for an all over the eye lid color for all those lazy days (practically everyday ha ha). It's great for when you're on the go and don't have time to squeeze in your makeup. It's definitely a color that has been neglected in my palette that I'm glad I came across again.

Benefit's Hoola Bronzer
I love this bronzer! Although, that is a horrible swatch down below due to my major tan it is way more pigmented on the face I promise lol. I love the matte finish and I like the fact that it is very build-able and easy to blend. 

MAC's Bubble Lounge Lipgelee
Sigh... I really don't know what I'm going to do when i hit pan on this product. It's a limited edition product so I might go searching some CCO's to see if I can get my hands on some backups. This is a great gloss for all year round and looks great over lipsticks.

MAC's Hanging Loose Mineralize Blush (In the Groove Collection LE)
This is a satin bright pink and pearly lavender tone.I've had this blush for awhile and never gave it potential until now. It's definitely been one of my everyday blushes this month. Looks great for summer and you don't even need to apply a highlight, kinda kills two birds with one stone.

Urban Decay Tinted Moisturizer
This was purchased during one of their big sales so I decided to try it out since I'm a fan of tinted moisturizers but it was a little too dark for my complexion; it's perfect now though. I've heard a lot of rants about it being streaky and I find that it works better just by using your fingers. It's not full coverage but I like that for the Summer.

Summer Scents Haul

Okay Ladies Summer is almost here and it's time to change up  that scent. I personally LOVE the fresh smelling, fruity i want to eat you up kind of scents. So I decided to purchase the two down below and I don't regret it one bit, they smell so good. Whats your favorite Summer scents?

Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gioia Gift Set - Macy's $85.00
This fresh, aquatic fragrance, whose name means, ""water of joy,"" captures the simple happiness one can experience at this extraordinary destination. The fragrance's top notes rise like a soft sea breeze, bringing forward a sensual blend of cool mint, warm brown sugar, and the zest of Italian lemon. Next, the heart notes emerge with beautiful floral hints of jasmine, dew of peony, and traces of pink pepper. The base lingers on a uniquely Mediterranean trail of cedar wood and the complex, herbaceous accords of labdanum.

Notes: Mint, Brown Sugar, Lemon, Jasmine, Peony, Pink Pepper, Cedar Wood, Labdanum.

Michael Kors Very Bali Spray- Macy's $65.00
Escape to Bali. Getaway to the ultimate paradise filled with sexy sunsets that melt into ocean waves and lush green palms trees that sway in the cool breeze. Lose yourself in soft, sexy musk and a brilliant, textural fusion of earthy pamplewood and dry woods, inspired by the golden rays of the sun and the wam breeze off a sparkling ocean. Island-hopping never smelled this good.

Notes:  rose petals, jasmine and hints of earthy pample wood
