So who else can't believe August is over already? I mean my goodness it just flew by. I did find some good things in the month of August along with something I've been using for years that isn't really a big surprise beauty product or anything. Well, lets get started!
First up, Chanel Stylo Yeux Waterproof Long Lasting Eyeliner in Celadon:
I purchased this at Nordstrom. I had to stop by the mall to pick up some bridesmaids shoes that I had on order and figured why not stop by the Nordstrom beauty Counter? $120 later...not counting my $20 Nordstrom note...I walked out with this beauty. (Amongst other things of course) I wish I were at home so I could show a better swatch but this will have to do. It is a pretty grayish-green color. It goes on really smooth though I do have to go over it a few times for the color to actually show up as dark as it looks here. I really love the color! It looks like your average black color but when it hits the sun you get the greenish color that just pops out. I think I wore it literally every day that I wore makeup after I bought it. It was not cheap though. At $30 for a simple eyeliner there are definitely other eyeliners that are just as good if not better. But I still really like it anyways.
Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupte-Silky Sensual Radiant Lipstick SPF 15 in #1 Nude Beige:
Oh my goodness! I have heard SOOO many good things about this lipstick from all of they beauty bloggers and gurus. I just couldn't muster up the courage to pay so much for a simple lipstick. Well, I ended up getting a $100 Sephora gift card from my co-workers as a bridal shower gift and figured I would get some luxury items that I normally wouldn't buy. I am SO happy I bought this! Not only is the casing itself beautiful but the color is gorgeous! It is a very creamy texture which I just adore. My grandma is always looking for a good lipstick and I was so excited to show her this one. She loved it just as much as I do! Just not the price. So she probably would not purchase this herself but I am definitely going to be buying some more of these amazing lipsticks!
Vaseline Petroleum Jelly:
So I'm pretty sure almost EVERYONE knows what this is. I have been using it since I was about 16 years old. I use it on my lips every single night. I get very dry lips and this is the only thing that soothes the pain. I'll even put it on throughout the day if i'm just staying at home. It is so refreshing. If you have this and haven't tried it on your lips I highly recommend it. I got a free sample of a Josie Maran argan lip treatment from Sephora. I was so excited to try it. As soon as I opened it I did not like the smell. When I put it on it just did not give me that refreshing feeling and literally within 15 minutes it was gone. I went and put on my vaseline right away after that.
Does anyone have any other beauty uses for Vaseline Petroleum Jelly?
OPI Bond Girls Liquid Sand Nail Polish in Honey Ryder:
So, I bought this nail polish on a whim. I'm not really one for having texture on my nails. But this one just looked so fun I decided to give it a try. It is wonderful! It goes on very nicely and could even be used with only one coat. I thought that the texture would bother me but it really didn't at all. I wouldn't do all of my nails with this but as an accent nail it looks great!
DiorShow Maximizer Lash Plumping Serum:
So. WOW. This was another free sample that I got from Sephora. I love my mascaras but I always thought a "primer" type mascara was just such a waste so I never tried it. When I saw this as a 100 point perk I went ahead and chose it. I sure am glad I did. I had it for about a month before I actually tried it. And boy does it make a difference! My lashes look thicker and more even. It looks a little creepy when you first put it on because it is white but then once you put your 2 coats of mascara over it it just looks amazing! I will definitely be repurchasing the full size product.
So there are my August favorites! Again, sorry for slacking so much. Next week I am actually thinking about posting some pictures of me in some different makeup styles for my wedding since I can not decide what I should do and maybe you can help me choose which looks the best? What do you think? I also made a Sephora and Ulta online purchase that I will share with you guys as well. I hope you all had a great 'hump' day and I will talk to you soon!
