Hello America!! Can y’all believe that it’s August! Where has the year gone and where have I been? I feel like I had this longgggggg laundry list of things that HAD to be accomplished before the end of the year and right now, I can only check off a few. But progress is progress I guess (lol!) and I still have time to check more things off my list! In between my naps and my snack breaks that is. A girl has got to have her snack breaks!!
Any way, I wanted to jump on here and share my favorite from July. I have shared a few of them on my insta stories throughout the month but I wanted to create a dedicated post to house them all if any of you guys wanted to shop them!
My # 1 top pick for the month of July is the Wet’N’Wild Photo Focus Foundation. This stuff is gooooodddd and the price is unbeatable. I raved about it a time or two on instagram but I wanted to take a sec to rave about it AGAIN. Even though I technically found this at the end of June, it was close enough to the end that I will just consider it to be July (haha). If you are looking for a product that gives you results like a high end foundation but for an affordable price this foundation is for you. The only down side is that is does smell like paint but only for a second. Once I blend it out, I don’t smell it at all. The colors I have are cocoa and caramel. I ordered the caramel on accident but I’m sure I can make it work. I have only been able to find cocoa in some Walmart stores. However, the full range is available online on the Wet’N’Wild website and the Ulta site. I have also ordered a few bottles on Amazon.
You can purchase the foundation online here:
Next up would be the E.L.F 16 hour Camo concealer. This concealer is the TRUTH. I have tried it in a few different shades and I love them all. I like my concealer to be super bright underneath my eyes and this concealer gives me the coverage and brightness that I love. This concealer is only $5 but it performs better than some of my more expensive concealers. The best part is once it dries down I don’t have to set it with translucent. It pretty much sets itself. When I have tried to set it my under eyes feel super dry and uncomfortable. The shades I use are medium beige , medium peach, and light peach. The few times that I have purchased this, I got it from Target.
With all the ranting that I have been doing about brown lipsticks, there was no way that I could not add them to the list. If you would like a full breakdown of how I wear my brown lipsticks and all of the shades that I have and love see yesterdays post! Today, I will keep it brief and say that Derrière by MAC is my favorite brown of the moment and I am wearing it in the pictures in this post. It’s not a super deep chocolate brown but it is too deep to be a nude that I can just throw on an go without any effort. I swatched it on yesterdays post too if you want to see the true color without lipliner and another lipstick placed on top.
Let but certainly not least are graphic tees! I have had graphic tees in constant rotation this whole month. I appreciate how edgy and versatile they are. When it comes to a graphic tee the possibilities are truly endless. My favorite way to wear them is with biker shorts. I have worn the heck out of my biker shorts this season and I should deff go ahead and grab another pair. I have purchased graphic tees from a few different price ranges. I prefer the more expensive ones as I like to wear mine over and over (and over) again. If you don’t plan on wearing them a whole bunch, I would suggest going with the more affordable versions. I linked a few of them on liketoknow.it that are ready to shop.
I recently purchased a few Anine Bing Tee shirts. I had been wanting one for a while but I couldn’t really get up the courage to do it until recently. My favorite one is this one. Once I figure out how I want to style them, I will share a few pics on here for you guys to see! 🙂
-XO, Elle
