July Favorites!!

Hello everyone! So first of all I wanted to apologize for my lack of posting lately.  My grandma was in a car accident and she needed help with a couple of things.  Thank goodness she only had a broken wrist and a bruised chest.  A car pulled out right in front of her.  So anyhow, that is what has been going on lately.  Plus I am back at work now so I'm pretty much away from almost all things beauty for the next week and a half :(

So, to my July favorites!!

First up is my Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Liner in black. 
 I'm sure by now EVERYONE has heard of it.  I absolutely adore this gel liner! It goes on super smooth and lasts all day long.  For me it is much easier to apply than MAC's fluidline.  Plus the Maybelline one is much darker than MAC's as well.  I think I used it almost every day this month.

Next is the Nike 'Free 5.0 Running Shoe

These shoes are awesome! I love Nike running shoes.  I tend to have skinnier feet and a lot of other brands of running shoes are too wide for me.  These are so comfortable.  And I won't lie, the first thing I noticed about them.  Such fun colors aren't they? They aren't cheap of course but I believe you can get them during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale for less right now.  

It's A 10 Miracle Leave-In Plus Keratin


This stuff is AH-MAZING!! I'm sure I've mentioned before I have really thin hair.  It tends to get a little frizzy at times as well.  So after I wash my hair I towel-dry it a bit and spray this on all of my hair except the roots.  It's makes my hair so soft and smooth.  To me it doesn't really have that strong of a smell either which is really nice.

So I was skeptical about buying one of these for soooo long.  Then last month they FINALLY opened a Sephora in Alaska.  Boy was I in heaven! They had a bunch of different models there so I was checking them out.  That's when the lady came over.  She explained to me the difference between this one and the others.  This one actually has a timer on it.  It goes for one minutes but it does a little vibrating thing when it's time to switch to a different part of your face.  I love that about this product because I tend to spend more time than I actually need to scrub my face.  I used it on my hand in the store and it just felt amazing.  So I've been using it now for about a month and a half and I can honestly tell a huge difference on my face.  It is not as dry as usual, I haven't had as many breakouts and my face is super soft.  I would definitely recommend this product.

Well, that is all for my July favorites.  I know it wasn't much but these are the things that really stood out to me this month.  I am really enjoying the skin care products that I posted in my last haul but it hasn't really been long enough actually give a good review on them.  So maybe they will be in my August favorites!

I hope you all had a great month of July and are enjoying all of that warm weather! I know I sure am!
