This is a curated list (with reviews!) of my six most-loved, tried-and-true products from the month of July.
Over the last month, I found myself repeatedly returning to these products, & I wanted to share them with you!
……
📌 Touch in Sol ‘Pretty Filter’ Glassy Skin Balm
▪️ Why: I ALWAYS double-prime, & for my first primer I tend to go with either a hydrating or illuminating formula. This one is a SUPERIOR hydrator. It feels sooo nice as I apply it to my face, that I actually crave putting this product on. It feels the best hydrating the under-eye area, & you can feel an immediate difference in the texture of your skin. There is a slight fragrance to this, but I really like it & find it refreshing. The cream itself is very soft, & almost gel-like in texture.
💰 Price: $32 (Ulta)
……
📌 Physician’s Formula ‘Butter Believe It!’ Foundation + Concealer
▪️ Why: I choose three foundations each month to use, & NEVER would I have thought THIS would be the one that I liked so much! I love how it completely transforms my face & covers up everything that I don’t want to see – without feeling heavy or gross. Another benefit to this formula is that it doesn’t BUDGE. It’s very difficult to take off at the end of the day, which I kind of appreciate because it stays in place all day long. I love that it doubles as a concealer, so I get that demanded extra-coverage exactly where I need it. Also, this does have a strong tropical fragrance to it, but I don’t mind it. It works extremely well with both a brush AND a dampened sponge.
▪️ Why: I ran out of my beloved Charlotte Tilbury mini powder, & I’ve always heard that this was a dupe product for that finishing powder. Well, I even like it MORE than the Charlotte Tilbury! Just a fine layer of powder gently pressed under the eye creates an absolute blurred section. I was incredibly impressed the first time I used it, & I couldn’t believe the price difference! This finishing powder is an ABSOLUTE must-have in any makeup lover’s collection.
🕶 Shade: Light/Medium
💰 Price: $10.77 (Amazon)
……
📌 Charlotte Tilbury Brow Set – ‘Brow Cheat’ Micro Precision Brow Pencil & ‘Legendary Brows’ Micro Precision Tinted Brow Gel
▪️ Why: I just love everything about this duo. Together, these pieces create my perfect brow. The pencil is the PERFECT consistency, & it’s so easy to use as well as being comfortable in the hand. The shade is exactly what I look for in a brow pencil. I am able to create bold lines as well as simple strokes with the one unique tip. The brow gel, on-the-other-hand is the perfect set to my shape. The teensy brush allows me to get in between each brow hair & shape them precisely where I want them. The color isn’t overpowering, either. It’s just enough to provide a slight ombre effect. If you are really into brows like me, you’d really enjoy this set!
🕶 Shade: Pencil = Natural Brown; Gel = Soft Brown
💰 Price: Duo = $48; Pencil = $25 ; Gel = $23
……
📌 Lip Duo – Lottie London ‘Slay All Day’ Lipliner & Tower28 ‘ShineOn’ Lip Jelly
▪️ Why: I always try new lip combinations every month, & this was my find this month!! I love how this set creates the most-natural FULL, juicy lips – yet, it’s so easy & unchallenging. I use the pencil to line & define only my cupid’s bow area & a small, bold line below my lower lip to create the illusion of fuller lips. The jelly gloss shade goes PERFECTLY with the lip liner shade & really camouflages the application lines. I get a nice, solid wear time out of this combo, too!
🕶 Shade: Pencil = Fleek; Gloss = Coconut
💰 Price: Duo = $19; Pencil = $5 ; Gloss = $14
……
📌 Roma Laundry Detergent
▪️ Why: I secretly enjoy doing laundry because I’m addicted to fragrant things – & laundry is one of those areas where you can really discover some pretty interesting scents. I’ve always had my eye on this detergent, & wondered how a $1 detergent would perform…& well, it actually SHOCKED me. I am a dedicated powder-Tide person, & I would choose this any day over powdered-Tide. It smells soooo good, & cleans so well. I’m really happy I tested this hidden gem out.
