Camp Days

Hey guys! So today’s post is a little sad because it will be my last for a whole month. I’m leaving for camp tomorrow (my last year. L I’m getting old!) and I will be gone for four weeks. I know that me not posting for an entire month in not going to benefit my blog, especially because it is still brand new and steadily growing, but I hope when I get back I can pick up where I left off! I love going to camp every year and I have been going for seven years, so I definitely didn't want to stop on my very last year!

I’m really sorry for my lack of posting in the coming month and I hope none of you unfollow because I promise a month from today when I get back I will be on here right away and back to posting even more often! You guys are awesome and I am seriously going to miss the beauty blogging community!!

I'll miss you guys!

See you next time!

xoxo, Jules

Coming Back to MAC?

Today I got an email from MAC that I found pretty interesting and I thought I would write a quick post to  let any of you who haven’t seen it know! MAC is bringing back one retro lipstick and eyeshadow shade each, voted on by MAC fans and enthusiasts! I think this is really cool and even though most (okay all) of the shades were around before I was born and this isn't the blast from the past for me that it may be for some of you, I still am really excited to find out which shades win! I guarantee I will justify getting them when next year rolls around, especially if they end up being the ones I voted on!

If you guys are interested in voting you can check the page out here!

Which shades did you guys vote on?

Did you have any of these retro shades in the past?

See you next time!

4th of July FOTD

Hey Everyone! This post is a few days late because I have been on vacation with almost no internet connection (a blogger’s nightmare) but I thought I would do a little face of the day for the makeup I wore on the 4^th of July! I’m really excited about this look and I love it a lot!

(Please excuse my hair, I hadn't done it yet!)

On the 4^th of July I recreated a look that I saw on Beauty Banter Blog and you can check out the original tutorial here. The only things I really changed are the products (I used what I had) and I made the red lip a little more subtle by using a very light coat of Revlon’s lip butter in Wild Watermelon. I didn't do a very good job of photographing the eyeliner so again, to get a better look check out the tutorial. I really love this look because it is very festive while still being subtle, plus the ombre liner is really unique!

Products I Used:

Face:

Covergirl & Olay Simply Ageless Eye Concealer in 210

Clinique Stay-Matte Sheer Pressed Powder Oil-Free in 01 Stay Buff

Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso

Josie Maran Argan Illuminizer

Eyes:

MAC Painterly Paint Pot

Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Naked 2

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk

Rimmel Scandal-eyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner in 008 Light Blue

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Pacific

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Peacock

Urban Decay Canonball Mascara

Lips:

Revlon Lip Butter in Wild Watermelon

I also thought I’d include a few pictures of my day, because it was a really fun one!

What did you do on Thursday?

See you next time!

June Favorites

Hey everyone! So it’s the beginning of July which means it’s time for June favorites! There are a lot of new products I have been trying out this month and lot that I have loved, so here goes my first favorites post!

St. Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Mousse: I’m not one that’s tans easily, I mostly burn. Because of that this product has been great! Now I can be tan like a normal person my age in the summer time without the risk of doing damage to my skin. It’s win win!

Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh: I love the smell of this so much! I usually don’t like floral scents but this has just enough freshness to make it work. I do have to say it isn't the most long lasting perfume but I still am in love with it. The bottle is so pretty and looks great on my dresser! The smallest size this comes is the 2.5 oz. which makes it pretty pricey ($78), so if you are considering getting this I would suggest the Sephora Favorite Fragrance Deluxe Sampler For Her. This is only $50 and you get ten free perfume samples and a makeup bag with the full sized perfume! It’s an amazing deal!

Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation: I’m in love with this foundation! It seriously perfect for me! I won’t go into too much detail now but you can check out a full review on it here! An update from that review though, I’m not mixing both of the shades now. I’m the right color for the darker shade thanks to St. Tropez!

Rimmel Stay Glossy Lip Gloss: These are the least sticky lip glosses I have ever tried! I have the color Always Lovely and I've really been liking it. I’ll definitely be picking up some more (particularly Non-Stop Glamour!)

Chi Silk Infusion: This makes my hair incredibly soft! It may be a little pricier of a product but I think it’s totally worth it and you should check it out!!

Urban Decay Cannonball Mascara: Remember my Current State of the Union about non-waterproof mascara? My problem is solved! I don’t care what you do this isn't going ANYWHERE until you take it off at night!

I have seriously LOVED all of these products this month and I really hope I've inspired you to check some of them out, they won’t disappoint!

By the way, does anyone else ever save the packaging of products? I cleaned out my drawer the other day and I think I may belong on hoarders!

See you next time!

xoxo, Jules
