Summer is here!

We are officially on summer break!  And today it's going to be warm enough to bust out the water slide. Today also marks the beginning of week three of using my Rodan + Fields Lash Boost.  I've been told to expect to see a difference in the next three weeks.  I eagerly await results! 
 
 
I think I'm falling out of like with my L'Oreal Visible Lift Blur foundation.  Despite primer, it's really starting to settle into my deep pores  (do not, I repeat, do NOT pick at your blackheads teenagers!) and the lines around my eyes.  It was so bad the other day that I threw a blending brush in my car so I could do touch ups. 
 
 
Otherwise foundation/concealer/powder are the same.
Cheeks:
Sonia Kashuk cream blush in Blossom.  I really love this pink hue.  It's not overwhelming but does show up on my fair skin.
Powder blush is one of my favorites: Cover Girl Sophisticated Sable
I fell in love with this when I was about sixteen and have used it on and off ever since.  I stick with the middle shade but sometimes throw the darkest color in as a pop.
Highlight is new...the lightest shimmering shade from the Becca X Chrissy Teigen Glow Face Palette.  This is the first time I've used it so I really don't have an opinion yet.
 


 


 
Eyes:
Tarte Sultry Star Power Palette...this palette looks beautiful but the color payoff, even with primer, is not great.  I do love the ladies night color...it's perfect for my browbone to contour.  The glimmer is pretty but fall out galore!  Outer corner I have sparks fly. 
Liner is Stila Burgundy.  I bought this because I don't have anything like it.  I am finding that I like it better on the waterline.
Mascara...I think I've found a winner.  I hated that NYX Boudoir mascara because it was so wet.  This one I was a little scared of because I could totally picture the little ball thing stabbing me.  But it's perfect for getting those inner corner lashes.  I am loving the formula too.  Oh yeah, I guess I should tell you the name:  Cover Girl Total Tease!
 


 
 
 
 
 
 
Lips: Clinique Chubby in Whole Lotta Honey (I love this color) and in center of lip Rimmel Nonstop Glamour. 
 

 
 
 
 
Have a blessed Thursday!
