Garnier PureActive Exfo Brusher

My life saver, sorry, skin saver =) I was always looking for a good exfoliating product and now I found it. All the other products I tried dried my skin into a point that it was unbearable. My skin felt very tight and very uncomfortable. This doesn't do that. It does it a tiny little bit but I can live with that. Most of all, it helped with my zits and stuff that was happening on my face. My face was very sweaty during the hot summer days and so my skin didn't react very well to that. So I'm very happy that I discovered this product.




Maybeline FITme Concealer in 15
This is my favorite concealer of all time and I stopped using it during the summer because it felt a little heavy. But the weather has changed, it's cooling down so I didn't mind it anymore. I love the coverage it gives me, I love how it looks like when I put powder on it, it's just an awesome concealer for a good price =)



Maybelline SuperStay 24h Foundation in Light Beige
I discovered this foundation a while back maybe half a year ago and I've been loving it ever since. I only use it whenever I'm going to a party and I want to have more coverage on my face because I'll be taking photos and stuff. It definitely can be medium to high coverage, you can build it up, and I really like it. I attended quite a few parties in August so I decided to include it in my favorites because it helped me to achieve that "flawless" look throughout the whole night.


Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balmstain in Honey + Rimmel Moisture Renew lipstick in Electric Plum
These two go very well together. The balm stain preps your lips for the lipstick and the lipstick just adds a darker shade to the lips. Even if the lipstick wears off, which it will, and sort of quickly because it is very hydrating and moisturizing, you're still going to have a nice wash of color on your lips thanks to the balmstain. I wore this combo to I think two parties this month and I really enjoyed it, and that's also what I was wearing in the video =)

MAC lipstick in Ruby Woo
There are no words ... <3 =)
If you've been following me for some time you know I LOVE red lips. I finally got the Ruby Woo lipstick and I am totally in love with it. It is the most amazing and awesome red lipstick. If you're a fan of red lips, you know how hard it can be to find a good red lipstick in the drugstore. Everything is too pink or orange, wears off quickly or just ... I love the matte formula, I love the velvety finish it gives to my lips. When I had it on for the very first time I felt amazing, like more fancy than usually :D I loved it. I also had to wear it to my birthday party because ... well it's just so beautiful, last long and doesn't get yucky after a few hours. I'm thinking of doing a separate video on how I like to do red lips. Tell me in the comments if you'd be interested in that =)

H&M lip balm in Vanilla Cake
This was a birthday present from my friend Sisa. I never expected to like a balm like this, because I was never fond of sticking my finger into something and applying that to my lips. But now that I got a chance to try it, I don't mind it. Plus, it smells AMAZING =) So thank you very much Sisa for letting me get out of my comfort zone and try something what I wouldn't get for myself (those are the best presents! =) )


False lashes

Here are three looks I did with these lashes. I have tutorials to the first two ones and the third one is in the process of editing =) I love these lashes. I've been reaching for them all the time in the past month or two. Whenever I wanted to wear false lashes, I wore these. They are just so universal. They add that glam into your look but they do not overpower it. I got them on eBay for like a couple of bucks and I got 10 pairs of them. I cut them a bit so they are a little shorter but that doesn't bother me because like that they don't poke me in the inner corner and feel a lot more comfortable. Yay for eBay lashes <3

Okay so these were the products I like for the month of August, hope you liked this =)
Have you tried any of these products? Do you like them? Tell me in the comments =)

Have a great day,
