Hello Everyone!
It's time for another Favorites post! If you read my review of the Urban Decay All Nighter foundation here, it will come as no surprise to you that this makes my favorites list! If you want to know why, head on over to that post and read it. It is amazing. For concealer, I have been loving the Tarte Shape Tape Concealer and the new Kat Von D Lock It Concealer Creme. They both have wonderful coverage, without looking cakey or dry. I have the Shape Tape in Light, but I really need Light-Medium. It's a little too light. I have the Kat Von D in Medium 19, which I use to mix with the Tarte for a less intense highlighted look. I have heard that both do not crease, but I always set my concealer anyways. I did apply Shape Tape yesterday and let it sit for a few minutes without powder, and it did crease. Everyone is different, though. All concealers crease on me! Another concealing product I've really been loving is the Becca Under Eye Brightening Corrector. Mine came melted from shipping, so the product isn't pretty to look at, but it sure gets the job done! I use it before concealer and it really does completely cover my dark circles. Which is nothing short of amazing. I've gone through an entire travel size Hand Food from Soap & Glory (not pictured) this month, and re-purchased two of the full sized versions. That's how much I love it. It absorbs quickly and keeps my hands soft, even through washing. I've still been loving the Becca blushes and highlighter I mentioned in last month's favorites, but I've been loving Benefit Cosmetics "Dallas" to contour with. I finally had to try that one! I received the Urban Decay Naked Smoky and Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance palettes for my birthday in July, and absolutely adore them. I have to force myself not to use the ABH palette every single day! The eyeliner I kept going back to over and over again is Colourpop's "Best O" in pencil form. It does fall out of the plastic, but I love the liner so much that I can forgive it. It's a really dark purple, which looks great on hazel and green eyes, and lasts all day long. "All day" for me means 10+ hours, and it holds up great! I had a few lip loves this months, with the first being a new lipliner. Makeup Forever Aqua Lip in "2C" is such a universal nude for my complexion, and I can wear it under so many different lip colors. My favorite lipstick has been the Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche in "Spritzer". It is such a beautiful purple!! Bite Beauty makes some the best lipsticks, in my opinion. My favorite liquid lipstick has been the Ultra Satin Lip Color in "Alyssa" by Colourpop. It's not as drying as the Ultra Mattes (obviously), and doesn't last as long, but it still holds up through most of the day and is a beautiful, neutral, every day color for me.
