What's In My Glam Bag?! | July 2014

BareMinerals | 5-In-1 BB Cream Shadow (Elegant Taupe) $6

Hang Ten | Dark Tanning Oil SPF 08 $1.50

Lord & Berry | Kajal Stick (Black Silk) 

Marrakesh Hair Care | Marrakesh Endz $6

wHet | Nail Polish (Facetious) $9

TOTAL $22.50+

This month's Glam Bag was filled with all kinds of summertime goodies! Nothing says summer like neon pink. The first thing to catch my eye was the Marrakesh split end mender. I'm sure all you ladies can relate to the split end disaster that comes with that summertime sunshine. On top of making your hair buttery soft, the oil makes you smell like tropical paradise. 

I haven't tried the bareMinerals shadow yet, but I always have faith in their products. Although, I don't really see the demand for BB cream shadow. 

As for the tanning oil, I've only recently heard of the brand and can't wait to try it out! After my vacay in Kauai, I've got a good bronze going so I don't want to overdo it. But I'll definitely keep it in mind once the summer starts to end and I want that last bronze kick to last me through the fall. 

I've never heard of wHet nail polish, but blue has been a summer fave for me and I foresee that I'll be putting this polish to good use! 

Last and definitely least, the liner. I don't have anything against this specific product, but I am starting to get sick of these liners. Can't use these samples fast enough and they just keep coming! At least throw me a different color, other than black. A girl can only tolerate so many "silky black, glam blacks midnight" kohl liners. 

With Love,

Patti

What's In My Glam Bag?! | June 2014

Marc Anthony | Dream Waves Beach Spray $3.18

NYX | Butter Gloss (Crême Brûlée) $5

Realtree | for Her $1.18

Be a Bombshell | Lash Out $15

OFRA | Universal Eyebrow Pencil $13

TOTAL $37.36

I'd have to say my favorite part of this month's glam bag is definitely the bag itself! It's designed by Rebecca Minkoff, so of course it's adorable. Love the pineapple print! As for the contents inside, I'm pretty satisfied with what I got. The perfume sample got a little messed up, but it smells SO good. It has a really sweet scent, so not something I'd wear daily, but definitely good for summer. Haven't actually tried a NYX Butter Gloss before, but I've heard a lot of good things about it! I'm always excited for beach spray, it'll be the perfect addition to my beach bag. And what girl doesn't need more mascara and eyebrow pencils? What's in your glam bag?

With Love,

May Beauty Favorites

 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9

Can't believe how quickly May has flown by! Summer is so close, I can almost taste the sea spray! This month I have been basically using the same beauty products over and over again and can honestly say that I am obsessed!

SexyHair | Soy Renewal

 I've basically used up that whole bottle in this one month. It seriously makes my hair feel so soft and healthy and it smells absolutely amazing. 

Boo-Boo Coverup Concealer 

This concealer does wonders for my blemishes. The changing weather has really made me break out and it has been my savior. The great thing about it is that a little goes a long way and it's got great coverage. 

bareMinerals | Mineral Veil 

bareMinerals has done awesome with this finishing powder. It perfectly sets my foundation or tinted moisturizer and doesn't feel cakey at all.

Benefit | they're Real! push-up liner

Benefit's new gel liner AMAZING. It's not out yet, but I got to test drive it after getting a sample from Generation Beauty, I’ve used it almost every day this week! I’ll be doing a review on it so look out for that! 

Tarte | Amazonian Clay BB Tinted Moisturizer - Medium Tan

I’m not a big fan of heavy face makeup simply because I hate the way it feels like my face is clogged up. For that reason, I stick to tinted moisturizers and lighter foundations and have fallen in love with this one. It feels so light, almost like I’m not wearing anything and it doesn’t grease up my face later on in the day. I highly recommend it if you’re looking for something with lighter coverage. 

City Color | Be Matte Blush - Fresh Melon

I’ve literally worn this blush everyday for the past month. It’s great for summer because it’s more of a vibrant pink than I’m used to, but goes on so naturally. 

Nyx | Lipliner Pencil - 860 Peekaboo Neutral x Lancôme | Cream Lipstick - Love it!

This liner and lipstick pair has been my go-to this month. The pink is so subtle but adds the perfect amount of color.

Nyx | Love in Paris - Eat Cake

Just got this pallet recently, but I am absolutely loving the blushy hues on it. It kind of reminds me of the Naked 3 pallet, but different! A good different. Blush/pink toned eye shadows are totally in at the moment and I definitely haven’t gotten sick of them yet. 

What beauty products have you been loving?
