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.

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

Influenster VoxBox #HairExpertise

I received this VoxBox from Influenster in the mail last week with a couple of Loreal products to try out. This was my first Influenster VoxBox as I had just joined back in early January. So far my experience has been quite positive. 

I have actually never tried any Loreal shampoo or conditioner products so I was quite excited about these. My hair is coloured and pretty damaged from the colouring, so I have been looking for a product to really help with bring back some vibrancy. I've used these products a few times now and so far so good. My hair does seem softer and a little shine has come back. I will continue to use these and see if it continues to help my colour damaged hair.

Let me know if you would like to see an update on my experience.

Disclaimer: these products were sent to me for review but the opinions on this blog are entirely my own.
