📌 ELF ‘Flawless Finish’ Foundation
▪️ Why: I have been loving this foundation a very specific way – I strictly use 1 pump, dot it all over my face, then rub it in with my hand. The final look is unreal, it looks amazing. This is not the longest-lasting foundation, nor the fullest coverage – but it’s perfect as an ‘every day’ wear, where you just want to even-out your skintone for a more perfected look. I keep going back to this one day after day!
🕶 Shade: Buff
💰 Price: $6.00 (Ulta)
……
📌 Essence ‘Lash Princess’ Mascara
▪️ Why: This is hands-down one of my most-favorite mascaras to ever exist (completely disregarding the price). It gives my lashes extreme length while providing volume near the lashline. I also love the deep black color of this mascara. It’s super-easy to apply, doesn’t aggravate me with a smeary-mess on my lid, & keeps the intentional curl all day long.
🕶 Shade: Black
💰 Price: $4.99 (Ulta)
……
📌 Ioni ‘Everlasting’ Lash Glue
▪️ Why: As a Velour Lash Glue-devotee, I can honestly say that this lash glue is wayyy better. After I apply to to my lash band, I let it dry for about 30 seconds – & then it’s ready for application. My most favorite part is that it’s so tacky, that it really sticks that ‘inner corner’ of the lash down (the part where I’m always struggling). I love this formula, even more than my beloved Velour.
💰 Price: $1.00 (Dollar Tree)
……
📌 Pat McGrath ‘Lust: Gloss’ Lip Gloss
▪️ Why: I’ve tried so many lip glosses, & I can appreciate the different formulas & styles. However, THIS one really does somethin’ special to your lips. Firstly, the color is very flattering. It is a light-catching color that amplifies so many shades of existing lip colors. My favorite part is how plush it makes my lips look. I struggle with very dry, very heavily lined lips – & I look for formulas that are going to fill those lines in & create a smooth surface. This lip gloss does exactly that & has exceeded my expectations in all ways.
🕶 Shade: Aliengelic
💰 Price: $28.00 (Pat McGrath)

📌 Nutra Nail ‘5 to 7 Day Growth’ Formula
▪️ Why: Recently, I have really been thinking about teaching myself ‘nail art & design’, & I personally don’t want to deal with artificial nails. I have been 100% dedicated to growing out my natural nails so I can pursue this new hobby. I had an old friend, an 80-year-old woman with literally the MOST beautiful natural nails that I’ve ever seen personally recommend this product to me. I have been religiously applying this every single night, & have noticed a definite increase in the growth pace as well as the strength of my natural nails. I really like that this is a ‘treatment’, so after you apply it, it only takes about 30 seconds to sink in & dry – so you aren’t immobile for any long stretch of time. So far, it works, it’s convenient, & makes me feel good about myself.
💰 Price: $12.95 (Amazon)

📌 DiGiorno ‘Croissant Crust’ Frozen Pizza
▪️ Why: You know I can’t resist mentioning a ‘food-item’! This month, my hardcore love has been this croissant crust pizza. Secretly, there’s not enough cheese on it, so I end up adding my own on top. You pop it in the 400 degree oven for 20 minutes, & then you have the absolute most delicious … snack? … meal? The crust is the best-part, for all you crust-haters out there. Buttery, flaky, layered, soft … sometimes I want to start at the other-end. If you’ve never tried this & you are a fanatic about pizza (like me!) do yourself the favor & pick one up. TOTALLY worth the $6.
Lash Princess didn’t work for me at all. Totally clumpy mess. I see a lot of people recommend it though!
