Things I love (For Now) - July 09 Edition


Hi Beauties,

So, it’s been over 1 month since my first “Things I love (for Now)” post. I’m overdue for an update. So, here goes.

MAC 134 Brush $52.00 USA
I can’t believe that I didn’t post this on the first edition of “things I love”. I use this brush every single day for my set-powder. Sometimes, I even use it both my contour and bronzing powder. This brush is so soft, I really adore it. It spreads the powder very lightly and since it’s rather large, the process is fairly quick. It is quite an investment to make for this brush, but I do believe it is necessary in any brush collection.

MAC Ravishing Lipstick (Cremesheen) $14.00 USA
Such a pretty light peach color. It has enough color that it shows up on my pigmented lips right away. I feel great when I wear this color. Something about the peach tone just brightens up my face. I like to wear it with a light eyeshadow combination and black eyeliner + peachy cheeks. Really a nice addition to your summer lip colors.

MAC Studio Moisture cream $31.00 USA
This moisturizer is so wonderful! I wear this everyday under my “face” and it feels great. It is a VERY thick formulation which is not really ideal for summer time. However, I have recently started a dermatologist treatment for my skin that is very drying. This helps to correct any dry patches on my skin and my foundation looks wonderful. Highly recommended for any dry skin types and during the winter.

Anastasia Brow Powder Duo $22.00 USA
I bought this recently and now I can’t leave my house without filling/shaping my eyebrows. I picked up the color “brunette” and it matches my brows so perfectly. Usually, darker skin types have trouble finding a good color match for eyebrow filling because most shades tend to be too gray. And who wants to look ashy?

Stila Kajal Eyeliner in Onyx $18.00 USA
Very basic item but I do love using it. It is super duper dark! I have very sensitive eyes and the Stila Kajal liner does not upset them which a great plus for me. The CON to this pencil is how soft it is. You have to use it with caution because you will get raccoon eyes. I recommend smudging it out a little and sealing it with Black Eyeshadow.

Bobbi Brown Extra Eye Balm $60.00 USA
I bought this item when Bobbi Brown was having a summer sale a few weeks ago. I like this item because I can totally feel a difference in my eyes the morning after I use it. I know that these types of eye treatments take quite some time to see the effects but I just know this is already helping my early crows-feet and swelling around my eyes. It is very moisturizing and I would recommend it.

Do you use any of these products already?

XOXO,
Awilda
