Another month in the books! I’m always amazed at my perpetual surprise when another month comes to a close. As I’ve gotten older I feel like time goes by faster and faster. And as per usual, there were beauty products I was gravitating towards.
The black, gold, white and pink theme was completely unintentional. A happy accident!
My nails were constantly painted with the Nails Inc x Victoria Beckham Bamboo White nail polish. It is just the perfect neutral shade that goes with everything. I foresee this also being a favorite for June, July, August… and on.
The Tarte Park Ave Princess Palette isn’t a favorite per say, but I really have been using the heck out of the bronzer in this palette. Vancouver’s weather has been exceptional the past couple of weeks, and I’ve been feeling the bronze vibes as of late.
For office days, I have been reaching for Bite Beauty’s lipstick in Fig, as it’s a no-fuss, very neutral and safe lip colour. This also feels exceptionally comfortable on the lips.
As I mentioned previously, the weather in Vancouver has been absolutely stunning, and when the weather is nice I tend to reach for the Jouer Matte Moisture Tint, I have the shade porcelain. I like this for hot days because it tends to keep my skin on the matte side. This has also been a nice base for me as the weather has gotten less dry, therefore I have fewer dry patches for this to cling to.
The Lush Lid Paint in the shade Sophisticated is a gorgeous cream shadow that I have been using as an all over eyeshadow look. This is a great stand alone shade that can be sheered out for just a little hint of something on the lids, or can be built up for a gorgeous taupe-y bronze eye look.
As previously mentioned, I’ve been loving bronzer this month, and to apply it I have been exclusively using the Real Techniques Duo Fiber Face Brush for a sheer wash all over the face. Just to keep things from getting cakey.
I’ve still been loving the Lush Pearl Massage Bar, both as a moisturizer, or as a solid perfume, as this massage bar is especially potent with Lush’s Rose Jam scent.
I picked up a new deodorant this month, the Lavanila Healthy Deodorant in the Grapefruit Vanilla scent. I really like this for causal days, however in the recent heat I’ve noticed it’s shortfalls. This is not an anti-antiperspirant and that becomes painfully obvious once the sun beams are out. I still really like this deodorant. A full review will be up shortly.
Lastly, my skin savior: the Body Shop Vitamin E Sink in Moisture Mask. I use this every night as a night time moisturizer, and my skin has never felt better. This keeps the dry skin away completely, and I’m currently wondering what I ever did without it. This is quickly becoming a product I’d never want to be without.
June: here we come!
