My July Favorites! (Make-up Products)

Hey guys! So this post is mainly about my most used makeup products for the month of July. Basically these products are the ones that I use on a daily basis for the month.  I think I should do this kind of post every end
of the month just to give you "Monthly favorites" updates. What do you think? I got this idea from makeupbytiffanyD who is one of my favorite beauty blogger and Youtube guru. I think it's quite helpful and fun to make monthly favorites post cause it is actually like giving a little review for each product mentioned. I don't
know about you but I find that a little helpful which product might be useful to me and which product is good from the drugstore that you might wanna check out.

So let's move on to my July favorites! Brace yourself for a very long post!

1.) L'oreal True Match Lumi foundation

        I already made a review about this foundation. If you haven't seen it yet CLICK HERE. I use this almost everyday. I love the "dewy finish" of this foundation that makes your skin glow. Light to medium coverage and it's very light weight! It feels like you're not wearing any foundation at all! 

2.) Maybeline Instant Age Rewind Dark Circle Eraser

        The most promising under-eye concealer from the drugstore! It doesn't cake. Does not creases. Hides my black under-eye circles perfectly! Totally love it and as you can see I am almost done with this tube and I have to replace it. Not available in the Philippine drugstores but you can check online stores for this product.

3.) L'oreal Voluminous Original Mascara
       
       I love the Voluminous full definition but this one has the same brush so it has the same result. I found out that this original version has a very "watery" consistency that it tends to transfer to your lids when you apply it. But after few minutes when it dries up it is actually good. I actually love this after months of using it. When the tube is a bit dryer it actually become better. Sometimes I let my mascara tube open for couple of minutes to let them dry up a little because I really don't like wet consistency of mascara they tend to flake up or have that spidery effect. But over all I love using this mascara makes my eyes more awake and very lengthening and voluminous.

4.) Benefit Hoola Bronzer
        
          No words needed. Kiddin! This powder bronzer is my forever favorite. I love the fact that it is matte and looks very natural on my skin. I use it for contouring my cheeks, temples, hair line, nose, and jaw line. I sometime use this as a transition color for my eyeshadow. Love love love this!

5.) EOS Lipbalm in Strawberry Sorbet

        I personally love flavored lip-balms. Aside from they smell great, they are very moisturizing to our lips. My favorite brands are Burt's Bees and Carmex. Those two has been my best buddy since high school. But when I met EOS and it booms in the market with all the rants and raves about it, I said I just had to get it. I first had the
summer fruit and I fell in-love from the smell to the packaging to how it works amazing on my lips. For now, I am really loving my EOS strawberry sorbet, smells so sweeeettttt!! I use it before applying any lipstick and before going to bed at night to hydrate my lips.

6.) Maybeline Color Sensational Lipstick in Coral Carnation

        I am so sorry for the gross picture for the Coral Carnation shade but you see it has been totally loved and abused. Lol! I keep on using this because I love how orange-y it is! I love orange-y/ coral tone lipsticks. It compliments my skin tone and really good for day light makeup.
        I am totally obsessed with Maybeline Color Sensational Lipsticks. These three colors are my faves! I actually have new one's which I will show them to you guys on my next post. I have a huge make-up haul stay tuned for that.

7.) Mac Lipstick in Shy Girl

        I love nude colors and this shade from MAC is my most favorite of all. I also love the Myth but Shy girl is more of orange-y beige tone (if that makes any sense.) Myth is more on pink tone which looks very pale while shy girl looks neutral. I use this for day light makeup or heavy/ smokey makeup. I love how it works on different
makeup because of it's versatile color that compliments either light or heavy makeup. It is in cremesheen formula  very creamy that it tends to melt down (see the photo) when it is getting hotter. (down side) But I still love it! Almost done with the tube since I got this on summer I think 3 months ago and I keep on using it.

8.) Benefit Hervana Blush

        Who doesn't love this? from the packaging - to it's smell - to it's matte finish - to it's lasting power. I love this to bits! I already made a review about this blush if you haven't read it yet then CLICK HERE.

9.) Flormar Full Coverage Concealer in 02

        I have tried tons and tons of concealers for my blemishes and acne scars. It's really hard to find a good one from the drugstore and surprisingly this baby right here works on me! For the price of 299.00php or $7 this full coverage concealer is the bomb! Not over rating it but it's just that ~ it works amazing on me. I am actually happy that I have drugstore alternative for my Mac studio finish concealer and my cinema secrets concealer. Love this concealer so much! From medium to heavy coverage - blendable - packaging looks very professional - and very affordable price! Results may still vary.

10.) Wet n' Wild Vanity Palette and Maybeline Eye studio trio cream shadow in Pedal to the Metal

        These two palettes are the most-used palette for the month of July. I love the Wet n' Wild eyeshadows. I actually got a lot of eyeshadow palette from them and I absolutely adore each of them. But my most favorite palette is the Vanity which has 6 neutral shades of browns and creams or vanilla colors. I love how pigmented the
eyeshadows and the price is way affordable compare to other brands. For the Maybeline Eye Studio Cream Shadow- these three shades I use them as an eyeshadow base for my Wet n' Wild Palette. This eyestudio cream shadows actually tends to crease for oily lids because it's not actually "thick formula" like a concealer
or like MAC PAINT POTS eyeshadow cream/base. So I use eyeshadow primer for this. Very well pigmented and I love the colors!


So those are my July favorites! How about you? Let me see your monthly faves and comment the link down below. Have a wonderful day loves! Xx

REVIEW: BENEFIT HERVANA BLUSH BOX

Hey guys! back for a review again. I have so many cool stuff to review so watch out for that. This time I'm going to share my own thoughts about the BENEFIT BLUSH BOX in HERVANA. You may find a lot of reviews about this awesome blush but I just wanna share my own side about this product that has a lot of good reviews about it. Let's see if it is worth every penny. 

I am so obsessed with my CORALISTA blush from Benefit. The one and only blush box that I own from them aside from my Benefit HOOLA bronzer which is absolutely my holy grail and my forever favorite contouring powder. I got amazed with the new Benefit blush which is the HERVANA because it looks so gorgeous and it has a lot of rave reviews about it, this has been launched since last year and I've been eyeing for this blush since it came out in the market. Finally after ages, I already have it! YAY!

This is being introduced in the Philippines Benefit Stores for Php1600.00 each blush box. US price is $28 or Php1176.00 at Macy's store. I got mine from Macy's, I think two weeks ago and they have this 50% off sale during that time, it was around second week of May, so I got my new HERVANA and HOOLA both 50% off which $14 each box or Php600.00 each exclusive of the shipping fee. I ordered this online through an Instragram Online shop "Everythingisauthentic" and gladly they can carry any products from Macys' so I pre-ordered my benefit boxes from them. Thanks a lot dear!

I am extremely happy with my purchase! Imagine how much I save from Php1600.00 original price here in the
Philippines compared to Php600.00 pre-ordered from Macy's. YAY!! 

I have been using the Hervana blush almost everyday at work and I am soooooooo inlove!

This powder blush is a pinwheel of four gorgeous shades: lucky shell (cream color) , divine peach (peachy orange color), heavenly rose(pink color) and berry delight (light violet or berry color), that combines together into one gorgeous matte light pink color. The packaging is a very nice hard box with a mirror in it. Like all benefit blush box, it has a blush brush inside and you'll a 8.0 g or 0.28 oz of product. This would definitely last for a very long time if you'll not going to use it on a daily basis. 

I also love my CORALISTA from Benefit but this HERVANA blush is a very gorgeous light pink color that works amazing for medium to light skin. CORALISTA is a coral or peachy pink blush that has a little shimmer on it, HERVANA is a pink blush that is matte finish. I love the fact that this blush is matte. It flatters my skin tone perfectly! And I also want to share that this blush has an amazing smell! It smells so sweet!! I actually smell it first before I start to put it into my cheeks. Overall I love this blush and I definitely recommend this product! Rated this blush 5/5.

CORALISTA and HERVANA 

You may find it expensive but it is worth the investment for beauty junkies out there! 


So, what do you think about Hervana? xx
