July & August Favorites

It's been a long time since I missed a monthly favorites post! The first week of August was pretty hectic for me; I never got around to sharing my July Favorites. I hope you don't mind this two-in-one! I've been really into minimal makeup lately. I'm sure it's a mixture of the heat and working from home.

The Wet Brush, Pixi, Hydro Boost

The Body Shop Vitamin E Lip Care Stick SPF 15
I was looking for a really moisturizing lip balm with SPF to take on my vacation to Florida. This lip balm had glowing reviews. My lips have responded really well to this - probably because it doesn't have any fragrance additives! It doesn't taste or smell great, but I like the moisture it provides.


IT Cosmetics Superhero Elastic Stretch Volumizing Mascara
I'm late to the party on this one. I received a sample in my Sephora Play! July Box. I understand the hype now! This mascara does an excellent job at both volumizing and lengthening. My only complaint is it does make my lashes feel kind of tacky - but it doesn't transfer.

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-Cream
I raved about this cream back in June; I'm still using it nightly! My skin responds so well to hyaluronic acid. I really like how this cream feels.

Pixi Brow Powder Palette Shades of Brows
I've gotten so much use out of this little palette. The multiple brown matte shades are great for both brows and eyeshadow.

The Wet Brush Paddle
I've had an oval Wet Brush for years; the green metallic paint was flaking off and getting everywhere. I finally decided to replace it with this sleek black paddle brush. I'm so glad I did! With my long, thick, hair this paddle brush makes brushing my wet hair even easier than the smaller oval one.
