Hope you enjoyed your August to the fullest. This is our favorite month of the summer! We had beautiful weather all month in Pennsylvania and a few beach trips that were greatly needed. We have nine favorites for this month both makeup and accessories, that we cannot wait to share with you. We choose these pieces because we found ourselves reaching for these product the most throughout the month of AUGUST!
August was a month full of sun for us, both in Pennsylvania and at the beach. Having a good body scrub is very important throughout the entire summer. Between our skin peeling after sun exposure and our feet getting dried out from sandals, a good scrub helps remove the old layer of skin and soften rough areas. I personally love this exfoliating wash because I got to create my own scent: sea breeze and coconut! www.capemaybathtime.com
One 'N only is a brand found at Sally's that I love. With all the hot weather and swimming, it was easier and healthier to rock my natural curls instead of constant straightening. I found this Argan Oil Curl Cream and fell in love right away. This gives my curls the desired definition I have been wanting. It is lighter than a leave in conditioner and pieces each curl. It also acts as a moisturizer and has a great smell!
The next item is an all over face powder by Nuance and is a line launched by Salma Hayek. It can be found in drugstores such as CVS but gives the results of a high end cover up. We love this powder because it goes on smooth and easy leaving a flawless look. It is a very lightweight powder which as been amazing with this heat, giving us the option to build up the product when needed. If you are looking for a new and inexpensive cover up we suggest you check this line out.
This month a new mascara was released in drugstores and it was talked about all over the web. We both purchased this Big Eyes mascara by Maybelline to try it for ourselves. The purple end is a regular size brush, designated for the upper lashes and the black end is a thin and shallow brush, which is for the lower lashes. This is a great idea and a unique twist on the regular drugstore mascara.
I have a nail polish obsession and its getting worse by the day! However, I could never justify spending $15.00 and more one nail polish. I cracked and purchased my first Dior nail polish. I choose red because its my go to nail color and I knew I would use it. I have been using this polish a lot because it drys so fast. Before I am done painting all my nails the polish is dry, which is amazing for a girl on the move. I suggest any nail polish fanatics, like us, should purchase at least one color from Dior.
Another first for us is the MAC brand. The closest Mac cosmetic store to us is about an hour. I actually ended up purchasing three lip sticks online. Candy YUM YUM was highlight on the site for being voted number one by their customers. It is a great summer color and can even take you into fall. It is a bright barbie like pink. Perfect pop of color pared with nude eye shadow, subtle cheeks and big lashes!
The next two items are super fun and not make up related! We wanted to switch it up a little bit and share some accessories that we have picked up over the month. The first item is this group of earrings. These are Bongo sold at Kmart. These are a very inexpensive way to add color and a little drama to any look. We picked up four but their are many more and who can go wrong with their prices!
The last item is our favorite! These are Dolce Vita dress slippers in black with metal toes. They were just under $80.00. These are the perfect classic shoe that will take you well into fall. As the evenings being to cool down these are perfect paired with some skinnies and a tank. They can also be dressed up with flowy shorts or a statement skirt. The black acts as a neutral and the pop of shiny metallic is a great accent. You will definitely be seeing these again!
XOXO,
Dream Eunoia
