Fave Five June

I have made some recent purchase that I just adore!

Fave Five June by jelobo2 featuring lips makeup

1. Salty Cosmetics Mineral Eyeshadow in Queen of Venus:  I am just starting to experiment with eye color.  What I really love about Salty Cosmetics is that they let you buy samples.  I bought two Grab Bags (10 for $10) and 4 other samples.  One of which was the Queen of Venus.  It is a gorgeous color and easy to play with.  I will have a full review of all the ones I bought up on the blog shortly.
2. Limecrime Opaque Lipstick in Chinchilla:  This was on my wishlist last month and I am beyond happy that I bought it!  It really is more gray than it appears in the pictures that I have taken with it on, but that is what makes it a fantastic neutral!
3. Forever 21 Floral Flush Bodycon Dress:  I wasn't sure about this dress when I first saw it, but I put it on an loved it.  It is made in a really soft easy material and the cut out in the backs are very cute.  I did have to get a size bigger than I normally did, but it's a bodycon dress, so that is normal.
4. House of Lashes Latex-Free Eyelash Adhesive:  Hallelujah!  A few weeks ago I suffered an allergic reaction from my eyelash glue.  I of course was devastated.  I didn't know if I was going to be able to wear lashes ever again.  Luckily for me I decided to try a non latex formula to see if it was just the latex that hates me.  It was and I now have a fabulous new eyelash glue!  Stays on extremely well and smells like flowers!
5. House of Lashes Goddess Collection Lashes in Siren:  While I was purchasing the new eyelash glue, I decided to risk it and buy new lashes as well.  I got three new pairs all of which are wonderful, but the wispy Siren ones are my favorite.  House of Lashes has some great lashes!  Great quality and reasonably prices.  I think I shall be getting all of mine from here!

Fave Five Beauty Products- April

Fave Five Beauty Products- April by jelobo2 featuring lips makeup

1. Sugarpill Cosmetics Pressed Eyeshadow in Velocity:  This only came in the mail yesterday, and I have only had one opportunity to play with it, but I am in love with it.  I love that is actually looks that vibrant on me.  Being of a darker complexion most colors don't look the way I want them to on me.  Thank God this is very pigmented, I would have been really sad if it wasn't because I love it so much!
2. Peter Thomas Roth Max Anti-Shine Mattifying Gel:  My skin right now is a mess.  I know your skin changes every 7 years, but geez.  By mid day I am a shiny mess.  This lightweight gel keeps the oil under control.  I have only used it twice (it is a recent find), but the difference so far is amazing.
3. Revlon ColorBurst™ Matte Balm in Complex:  I love matte lipstick.... and though I love my nude Lip Tar in Interlace from OCC, I don't like it matte (on me anyway, I always top it off with my Buxom Lipgloss in Samantha).  On a whim I decided to just grab this and I am sure glad I did.  It is a great color and because it is a balm it still keeps my lips moist while giving it the matte look that I love.
4. Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in Gash:  I am so excited this color is back!  This is the only item on my list that I don't own, but I will be getting soon.  I have only recently started wearing lipstick, but I always admired it on other people.  I saw this color on Gwen Stefani and thought it was fantastic.
5. Ardell Curvy False Lashes in 413:  Before my obsession with lipstick my makeup obsession was mascara/lashes (well I am still am).  I usually go with more natural looking lashes, but lately I have been changing things up and going for some more drama.  While walking around Ulta I saw that they had a BOGO on Ardell lashes and I saw these and had to try them.  They are really fun and make me feel like a pin up!
