My August 2013 favorites!

Hey guys!

Can't believe August is over! Went by so quickly! Today I'll show you my favorite products for the month of August - and will review them briefly.


1. Maybelline Expert Eyes Moisturising Eye Makeup Remover - this is for waterproof makeup and I like it a lot. It's so much easier to remove any kind of mascara and it does not burn your eyes at all.
2. Lorac PRO palette - this is such a versatile eyeshadow palette, it has 8 matte and 8 shimmery eyeshadows and not all of them are neutral - for example, you have a burgundy and purple colors. The shadow quality it amazing, they are super soft ant have a buttery feel to them. The do have some fallout just because they are that pigmented, but if you tap the brush off before applying, which I always do, you'll have no problem at all.
3. Almay Clear Complexion Concealer + Treatment gel - this gives great coverage and is an exact match to my skintone at the moment. I mostly use the concealer part, which has 0,6% Salicylic Acid, which is great if you use the concealer over any spots you might have. The treatment gel has 1,08% Salicylic Acid.
4. Covergirl Outlast 3in1 foundation - love this for its staying power and it matches my skintone at the moment pretty well too. It's medium coverage which I really like and it has SPF. Great packaging too - love the pump!
5. Rimmel Stay Matte powder - keeps me matte for longer than any powder I own at the moment! Great for touch-ups.
6. NYX blush in Amber - love the color, it's so pretty and gives the cheeks a nice healthy flush of color! Been using this religiously for the month of August. Not going to lie - I'm ready to move on onto something else now, haha! Still love it, though.
7. Clean&Clear dual action moisturizer - I use this every single day and it's a great favorite of mine - I even have a backup waiting for me once I finish this bottle, haha! It's oil-free and has again, Salicylic Acid in it so it helps to prevent any blemishes and it moisturizes at the same time! Great stuff!
8. EOS lipbalm - all time favorite lipbalm, keeps my lips moisturized! And I love the strawberry smell in this one!
9. Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque - it's gentle enough so I can use it every day! Love how clean my skin feels after using it, and I do believe it helps with my needy skin to keel it clear.
10. Maybelline The Rocket Mascara - been using this one a lot this month, love the formula, it makes my lashes looking longer and thicker than they are! I'm using a non-waterproof version and it does not smudge even on a hot, humid day.
11. Maybelline The Falsies Mascara - what can I say, I love my Maybelline mascaras! This one is great for curling my lashes and making them very thick! Definitely has the Falsies effect on me. I love layering it with The Rocket mascara too!
12. Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze - I believe it's now called something different, but love this color on green eyes! It has great staying power and the color is pretty. It also makes a great base for any shadow I have.
13. Catrice Gel Eyeliner in Black Jack with Jack Black - what a name for a simple black gel eyeliner... I bought it this month and it became a great favorite of mine - whenever I'm using gel eyeliner I'll go with this now even though I own more! Stays well, is pretty rich in color and did not dry yet! Plus, it's very affordable!
14-15. Rimmel Scandaleyes pencils in Black and in Nude - love these two! They are waterproof so I mostly use them in my tight line and waterline. It's creamy and well pigmented!

So these are my favorite products of the month! It wasn't that hard to decide - I used these a lot in the month of August. What are your favorites? Would love to know!

    1. Hi Holly!

      I actually do, showing Lorac PRO in action right here: http://gintarebeauty.blogspot.com/2013/08/fotd-everyday-neutral-eye-look.html and I'm planning to do more looks, because I love playing with it! It retails for $42 so it's quite on the expensive side. But so worth the money IMO!

      I'll check out your blog, thanks for the link!
