#1 Maybelline Cream Eyeliner:
I have been wanting a cream/gel eyeliner for MONTHS but I never wanted to dish out the money! I was eyeing the Bobbi Brown one that is $21... then I went on a nationwide (literally) search for the wet n' wild's gel eyeliner that is only $4.50 and I could not find it in Idaho, Utah or Massachusetts! I gave up and got the one in the middle. This cream eyeliner costs $10 and I actually really like it! It doesn't budge when it sets, I love the smooth consistency and it is very black. The brush it comes with is pretty nice, too. It's a good size but the only thing is it is impossible to get a thin line with it and it's a little hard to make pointed wings. I can't wait to find my angled brush in all of my crap in Idaho! But this leads me to my next favorite....
#2 Winged Eyeliner
Not my eye (if you were wondering) but I loveeeeeee winged eyeliner. I just think it's simple but cute and girly and I just love it. I'm trying my best to be able to pull it off! It's a really fun look and is actually a lot harder to do than it looks. Now, what I love with winged eyeliner is a bright red lip. Too bad that is way too much for an everyday (or anyday) look or I would wear it everyday. To sum it up, I am obsessed with 50's-60's vintage, slightly pin-up stuff.
#3 got2b Rockin' It Dry Shampoo
If you have oily hair, this is the product for you! I have been trying to not wash my hair everyday because it's really bad for your hair but I have wicked oily hair! In high school I would use baby powder which would work but then you would smell like powder all day. Then last year I got the Tresemme dry shampoo which I hated! It made my hair one big clump of oily junk more like a tub of vaseline than anything. But I got this one with high hopes and it totally rocks! It smells so good, it actually works and leaved my hair literally feeling like I just washed it! It is so great and only like $5!
#4 J.R. Watkin's Mango Lotion
My new holy grail, will never find a better, amazing lotion! When I was a junior in high school I went to a flea market on Cape Cod and got a coconut mango lotion made by some lady... yeah... when I ran out I thought I was going to die because I would never find it again! I was in Whole Foods and just roaming the beauty aisle and I FOUND IT. This smells identical to the one I had before, same thick, beautiful, non-greasy cream and I love it.
#5 Benefit's Confessions of a Concealaholic
I broke down and bought another Benefit product, but I thought this was a great buy. This concealer palette comes with a primer (that smells like a lollipop), two basic cream concealers, erase paste (which is a gel-like, salmon colored concealer for under eye dark circles), eye bright (which brightens the eyes) and lemon-aid (which counteracts redness or other discoloration) for $36. Not bad seeing as you use hardly any product to get the job done! I love that it is all in one and Benefit's products always make doing your make up fun :)
#6 Maybelline Falsies Mascara
This is my favorite mascara because even though I naturally have long, curled eyelashes, I like a product that can really show it off! This is the perfect combination of volume and length in a mascara and the formulation of it is great. And I like the brush. I like everything about it except it kinda flakes throughout the day, I should try the waterproof one. I have had at least two people ask me this month if I was wearing false eyelashes and I credit this product for that!
#7 Big Sexy Hair Spray and Play Harder Hairspray
I have coveted this hairspray for quite some time because the full can is about $18 and I just can't justify spending that much on a hairspray. But at Ulta in Utah they had a trial size (that was pretty big) for $8 so I snatched it so fast. What makes this hairspray the greatest hairspray in the universe (literally) is that is volumizes like craaaazy. I use this hairspray either to set my teasing and it gives it an extra oopmh or after I curl my hair. It's like my hair magically doubles in thickness when I use it and for my fine goldilocks it's a dream come true. I. love. it. And I have no idea what I am going to do when I run out of this little can of heaven.
#7 Fresh Pineapple
Every time I go to the grocery store with my parents I sneak in one of those pre-sliced containers of fresh pineapple. I love it! It is so delicious and I think it might be the only thing I'm going to eat this coming semester. I just hope it's one of those health-benefiting fruits and I'll actually get something good out of it. I'll start a new trend... Pineapple is definitely the new grapefruit.
#8 Sally Hansen's Hard as Nails, Xtreme Wear in Mint Sorbet
If you know me at all you know this is my favorite color. I am OBSESSSSEEEEDDDDDD. When I got this I thought it wouldn't be the right color but two coats of this baby and it's like being in vintage, floral heaven! The only thing is that this is also the color of my sunglasses... so I think people think I'm weird when I have both on. I swear I don't purposely match everything I wear, I just can't get enough of this color.
#9 Target Teal "Ray Ban" Sunglasses
Well, I was talking about them so I thought I should include them since I wear them every single time I am outside... It would be sweet if I had 155 bucks to spare and had real Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglasses, but my $12 ones from target are awesome! Of course I couldn't find my sunglasses online but these are pretty close. The true color of mine are a little lighter and a more faded teal color. However, the only thing I hate about my Target ones is that the top paint layer on them totally has been peeling since I got them and the color under it is more true to this picture so part of it looks darker than the rest. Oh well, I still love them anyways.
Well, I can't think of a tenth product... I kinda just did this as I went along and it's late (or is it early...?) and I should be sleeping, haha. I hope you enjoyed my first monthly favorites!
Oh, and Happy Birthday to Cameron Diaz!!! Is she like 40 or something? I don't know... :D
