Summer Loving Faves! June & July 2017

Hello lovely people :) Hope your August is starting off well. The past couple of months have been a real blur for me. I've been shopping my stash alot an using some "new" products. I haven't been using much foundation as the weather has been pretty HOT and I would just sweat it off. So, I've been relying on my MAC strobe cream and concealer. The MAC strobe cream gives my skin a nice glow which I have been loving! Here are all the products I have been reaching for the past couple of months:

• ABH Modern Renaissance Palette
• ABH Master Palette by Mario
• Sephora Blush Palette
• Jouer Highlighter in Topaz - Amazing highlighter! I just got skinny dip from the skinny dip collection and can't wait to try that too.
• MUFE Pro Sculpting Duo in shade 02 - The bronzer and highlight in this duo is amazing!
• Nars Radiant Concealer - I've used this so much that I am almost out!
• Urban Decay Naked Skin Concealer
• ABH Pure Hollywood Liquid Lipstick - I recently picked this up at a local sephora where it was always sold out. I really love pairing this with different lip liners and glosses.
• Buxom Gloss in Mai Tai - Perfect for summer xoxo
• Marc Jacobs Gloss in Sugar Sugar - This gloss is so creamy!
• MAC MSF in Medium Dark
• MAC Strobe Cream in Goldlite
• Loreal Voluminous Base Mascara
• Loreal Voluminous Lash Paradise - Love this mascara and wand! I hear this is a dupe for the TF Better than Sex Mascara but I haven't tried this mascara to compare. 
• SL Miss Glam Powder Brush from the Mermaid Sparkle collection - I love her brushes and use them every day!!

What have you guys been loving for June and July? Let me know so I can add to my collection or try it out :)

October Favourites 2016

Half the month has already flown by and the Holiday season is about to be in full swing. I've been trying to shop my stash for the month of October and get through a lot of the deluxe samples I've collected. Here are a few of my faves for the month of October:

• The original LORAC Pro palette - this is one of my HG palettes
• MAC Sheer Pressed Powder - I've been loving this to dust over my foundation
• Too Faced Better than Sex Mascara - I usually go for waterproof mascaras but this one is pretty good!
• Tarte Pure Maracuja Oil - My skin has been acting up lately and this oil has given back the moisture it needs
• ColourPop Smoke n Whistles Highlighter
• Sephora Passionate Blush
• Benefit Hoola Bronzer - another HG product
• Buxom Gloss in Sophia
• Kat Von D liquid lipstick in Lolita - gorgeous for the Fall
• ABH liquid lipstick in Craft - LOVES!
• NARS Radiant Concealer - Amazing! I love the coverage and glow it gives. This will be coming with me on Vacation.

What have you guys been loving recently and what did you pick up during the Sephora Sale? Would love to know :)

• Tarte Lipset from their Holidaze Collection
• ABH Self Made Palette (Love this!)
• Bite Beauty Lip Duo
• MUFE 15 Artist Shadow Palette
• Becca Mini Opal Set
• Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector in Opal
• Tarte Marcuja Creaseless Concealer (I've heard a lot of good things about this)
• First Aid Beauty All Star Hydration set
• Sephora Mask
• MUFE Ultra HD Foundation Stick
• UD Matte Revolution Lipstick in Bad Blood
• Tarte Blush Palette from their Holidaze Collection (bought this one before the sale started)
  

And that is my collective haul from Sephora from the past month and a bit. Would love to hear what you have purchased recently and for any recommendations! Let me know through Facebook, Twitter or Instagram! @LuvabellCouture or comment below!

February 2014 Favourites

HOLY SMOKES! Where did February go?! Seriously though this month went by super fast, I really can't believe we are almost 1/4 through the year... Anyways... on to the favourites before I start rambling too much and it becomes March favourites haha...

For the month of February I tried to go a little more natural / neutral colours. I am officially in love with the Hourglass ambient light powders and am so happy that I was able to get my hands on this trio. Here are a few of my other faves:

• Urban Decay Naked Basics - this has been in my faves before but I love the neutral / matte colours in this palette
• Real Techniques Buffing Brush - I use this to apply my foundation almost everyday!
• Buxom Gloss in Dolly
• Rimmel Scanaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal in Nude
• NYX Blush in Mocha
• Maybelline Lipstick in Blushing Beige
• MAC MSF in by Candelight (Limited Edition but I think Soft & Gentle is close to it)
• Korres Lip Butter in Jasmine - Keeps my lips smooth in the crazy cold and dry weather we have been having
• Urban Decay 24/7 Liner in Zero

What were your favourites for February? And what are you guys looking forward to in March? :) I am excited for SPRING!!! Can't wait to get into spring clothes and wear some more colour! More pics after the jump! Until next time...

So, I picked up a few things from the Sephora VIB sale that ran in the beginning of the month. Now, I am banned from Sephora until next year! Haha, let's see how long that will last :P Anyway, I picked up a few palettes and a few holiday sets. I don't think I went tooo crazy this year... Now on to what I purchased:

• Soft Lights Powder in Shimmer - This is all Jacilyn Hill from YouTube's fault!
• Naked Skin Foundation - I have been wanting to try this foundation out since it first came out
• NARS Guy Bourdin One Night Stand Blush Palette (even though I already have a blush or two)
• Kat Von D Spellbinding Palette - I was mesmerized by the colors!
• Too Faced A Few of My Favorite Things Palette - I love Too Faced, so of course I had to get this!
• Buxom Dolly's Opening Act Lip Gloss Set - SO PRETTY! And great price point in my opinion.

And that is all I got from the sale. Trust me I wanted more, but I held off. If you would like a review on any of these products please let me know :) Also, I would love to know what you got from the sale so leave them in the comments! Until next time!
