June Favorites

So, June is coming to a close- we're already half-way through 2011! I thought a good way to start off this blog would be to compile a few of the things I've been enjoying this month.



Clockwise from top-left:
1. Korres lip butter in Pomegranate-this is a wonderful 'my lips but better' color for my medium-pigmented lips. This leaves my lips with a slight shine, hint of pink  color and tons of moisture.
2. Maybelline Dream Matte powder in Cream- this is an excellent (and wallet-friendly) powder that keeps my shine at bay. It doesn't cake up, not matter how many layers I apply!
3. Mac Pigment in Melon-this is a wonderful multi-tasker. During the summer months I use it as a beautiful wash of color all over my lids or apply it as a sun-kissed highlight on my cheekbones. 
4.Maybelline Volum' Express One by One in blackest black-this mascara separates my lashes beautifully while adding length and slight volume. This is not a BAM! mascara-it doesn't deliver massive volume or Latisse-esque lenght; it's your lashes but better (is that even a term!?); great finisher to a light, daytime summer look.
5. Wet n Wild ColorIcon trio in Silent Treatment-this trio got a ton of well-deserved love all around the internet when it first made its way to drugstores. The colors are perfection: smooth, pigmented & complex. I especially love the the lightest shade all over the lid with the taupe-y purple in the crease. At night I'll darken it up by adding that wonderful dark brown in the outer V and lining it on my upper lash line.

Based on what I'm loving right now, can you think of anything I need to add to my next shopping list?
