I am excited to share with you a few items I've purchased this month and have been using regularly. This is my first post of this kind, and I hope to do a post like this each month depending on what I've purchased.
As you know, I live on a strict budget and when I can buy things for myself that aren't out of necessity, I prefer to buy make up. I wear makeup almost every time I leave the house and I feel like it is a good investment, because my aesthetic appearance is the first thing you notice without talking to me. I want to give a good first impression and make up helps me do that.
Wet n Wild Eyeshadow Palettes - Walmart
I Got Good Jeans

I have already worn this palette and I love color number 3. It looks great against my already bronze skin and gives it just a hint of shimmer for summer. I use color number 2 as a crease color and number 1 as an all over color because it looks horrible on my browbone as suggested. |
I'm Getting Sunburned

This is my favorite palette! My favorite color is color 1 because I use it was an all-over -the-lid color and it brightens my dark brown eyes up. I look very sleepy, as most Moms of toddlers do, so this palette is perfect for me to put on and look amazing without much effort! |
CoverGirl Queen Collection Lasting Matte Pressed Powder in Q405 Light Golden - Target

This pressed powder works so well with my liquid foundation, also from the CoverGirl Queen Collection, by helping my skin look less oily. I sweat so much in summer running around with Eli and this powder is great for keeping me from looking sweaty and oily all over my t-zone. Plus, it matches my complexion perfectly. You can't even tell I'm wearing it! |
Rimmel London Natural Bronzer + Natural Minerals in 025 Sun Glow - Target

I started using this bronzer because I needed one with less shimmer and this one is amazing for my complexion. It's light and doesn't leave residue on my clothing. |
Revlon Just Bitten Lipstain + Balm - CVS
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYN3NsNcvUN6jiHPgBQAo4uSG4oUMrDzDADfuiCSd7x0jy1bGCSuZl6KiPYKFGby2rgpP6IHkTZFAaDB0xqk6pjLY1rmUo-jNE-FIrbzIZVblIbpA-EA2zzd6_vxXzB4WORlo20ovhiVQ/s640/PhotoGrid_1374656795276.jpg) |
I have been using this lipstain for about two weeks now and I like it a lot. I do not like the balm, however. It broke within a day of me using it, so I just use the lipstain and apply my EOS Lipbalm with this. I have just begun wearing red lipstains and I don't think I will repurchase this one again, as it doesn't last very long and the color isn't buildable. |
e.l.f. Brushes
e.l.f. Small Angled Brush - Target
e.l.f. professional Bronzing Brush - Save-A-Lot
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj2C0upZUEugUcyOICzMPuWj0b6uiacfOX0Gva1vZeIeHwTYLhbQoFE4fzMb5egEukeT5wjb1uR1QjkQbq3BDcL6bN2CbnMv6r-VPEDy4jBReqR6FsGOZXzSuPrGoXN7csswGHksO229s/s640/PhotoGrid_1374656867823.jpg) |
I love e.l.f. brushes! I use the small angled brush to apply my eyeshadow on my waterline and also to fill in my eyebrows. It's perfect. I use the bronzing brush for bronzer and have no complaints about it at all! |
That's my mini beauty haul for July. Overall I believe I spent about $35 on beauty products this month, but they are products I will be using for months, so I feel these were great purchases.
I hope you enjoyed this post.
Until next time friends, peace, love, and green tea <3
