May Favorites

 I can't believe the year is half way over! It's crazy how time flies. For this monthly favorites, I've tried to keep it even with makeup and other beauty favorites. So without wasting anymore time, let's get right into it!

 I am OBSESSED with the Herbal Essences Naked volume shampoo and conditioner! It makes my hair feel so healthy and hydrated afterwards. Even after 3 days of using this and not washing my hair, it's still soft and silky with hardly any oil. It doesn't contain any silicones, parabons, or dyes so it's safe for you and your hair. The smell is also intoxicating and I can't get enough of it! The price usually is around $4-5 for the 10 oz. Click here to purchase the shampoo and conditioner.

 This may be my new favorite exfoliating cleanser. Its not too harsh on the skin when you're scrubbing, but it does clean out your pores and give you that fresh feel. This scent is honeysuckle and white tea and is refreshing. It also gives a nice, cool tingly feeling (which I love). There are two other scents which are green apple and jasmine tea and white grapefruit and  green tea. They usually run from $6-7. Click here to purchase the exfoliating cleanser.

 I've heard a lot about this mask through many youtubers and other beauty bloggers, but I was hesitant about buying it because it was pretty expensive. I bought it after my birthday when I got a few Sephora gift cards. I wish I would have bought this sooner! It says it will minimize pores, control oil, and mattify your skin and it does just that! I have oily skin, especially on my forehead and this sucks it all up and mattifies my skin. The texture is like melted caramel, which threw me off at first, but once it dries it's like peeling off dead skin after a sun burn. Generally wherever you look and find this product it's $30, but WELL worth it! Click here to purchase this purifying mask.

 Yes, this is only a sample and I've only used a fourth of it, but oh my this is my new holy grail product! This leave-in product helps eliminate frizz, restores shine, protects hair from all heated styling tools, and prevents split ends. It says to towel dry your hair, then spray this into your hair. Instead, I spray this in my hair when it's damp. I haven't tried this after my hair has been toweled dried so I don't have a comparison. This product does range in price from $18 for the 4 oz. to $36 for the 10 oz. Click here to purchase the miracle leave-in product.

 Onto the best part, makeup! With it almost being summer, everyone wants that glow. This helps your skin illuminate and feels light. This is probably my number one foundation that I've been using for the past couple of months. This product varies on price from $9 to $13. Click here to purchase this foundation.

HOLY GRAIL LIPGLOSS!!! Uh, this is simply amazing. This is in the shade White Russian and Sephora describes this as nude pink. It has a tingling, plumping effect which I love. It gives my lips a cool, refreshing feeling. 

Price for this will run you for $19 at Sephora.

This is from Mac's Alluring Aquatic collection. Sadly, this blush sold out very quickly when the collection first launched. I am working on finding dupes for this so don't you worry. This is the extra dimension blush, Seduced At Sea. Mac describes this as a midtone neutral plum. It gives you wonderful, glowy cheeks. I've been using this a lot for when I go to work and it helps me look more alive and awake since I have to wake up at 4:30 in the morning.

Last, but not least the Flamed Out mascara by Covergirl! By far, this is in my top favorite of mascaras. The brush may look clumpy, but it separates your lashes and volumizes them.

This mascara is priced between $5 and $7.
