Monthly Favorites is fairly new to my blog. I will try as much as possible to post my Favorites of the month, but I can’t always guarantee them. For me, I don’t change things up too often, so you’d see the same favorites every month until you’d see it in my Empties
Makeup/Skincare:
Jouer Matte Moisture Tint – I got this product when my skin didn’t need it. I have oily skin year round, but now that I am at my oiliest, I found the most use for it this month. I have a feeling I will get through a good portion of this all throughout the summer months. I find that it keeps me oil-less for several more hours than a liquid foundation would. Since the shade is too light for me I mix it in with… my next favorite.
Laura Mercier Radiance Bronze Foundation Primer – Since this primer is darker than my skin, hence the bronze, I like to mix this with my first favorite to not only make my makeup last, but to also make my perfect color match. Here’s a description from the website to give you an idea of how it looks on the skin: “Prime skin with this invisible layer with a golden pearl tint that creates a fresh, healthy glow.”
NYC Smooth Skin Bronzing Powder – Shade: Sunny – This is my first bronzer and probably my last. I cannot find a shade that I like as much as NYC Sunny. It’s great for when my face makeup is a touch light and I need to darken up the face or for when I want to look sun kissed. This is your guy! The terracotta bronzer is not too orange on my skin, yet gives my face a beautiful warmth.
Non-makeup/skincare favorites:Origins Plantscription™ Anti-aging eye treatment – I only have this tiny sample, but a little goes a long way so this will last me for months. I am enjoying the anti-aging properties in this eye cream, and I actually see a slight difference in how much more hydrated my under eye area looks than it did when I was using OH Ultimate Lift.
Julie G Sound the Alarm – Swatch – This is my only repeat for Favorites posts. What I said last month still holds true: “I hardly put on the same color nail polish twice. This orangey red goes well with my skintone and I feel like I have finally found my red! Cool and neutral reds are okay on me, nothing too bad, but this… match made in heaven. I can wear it on my fingers and toes and they still look great.”
Daisy by Marc Jacobs – My Perfume Collection – This is a perfectly balanced combination of fruity, floral and musky. I don’t know how else to describe this wonderful scent. I gravitate more towards using this scent in the summertime. It’s great for both daytime and nighttime.
Wild at Heart Body Mist by PINK – My Perfume Collection – The scent of this is so good. Red Grapefruit + Musk. I obviously like Musk mixed into my perfumes.
These are the favorites I had for the month of June. Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoyed my Favorites post. Have you tried any of my favorites? What did you think of them?
Wow, that’s ingenious to mix the tinted moisturizer and primer 🙂 really want to try Jouer products in general, and Daisy is such a classic scent. Nice post!

I debated about doing a monthly favourites but maybe I’ll do a half year favourites. My favourites doesn’t change much month to month so it’ll just be a lot of boring repeats lol.
Did you depot the NYC bronzer? I should do that to mine too. I like it but it’s not my favourite… it’s a good colour but not as smooth or easy to blend as others I’ve tried but for the dirt cheap price, it’s good.

It’s probably one you’ve never heard of and now it’s hard to replace for me cuz the brand is no longer sold in Canada! But it’s from the brand Lancaster, and it’s a baked bronzer called kaleidoscope, looks like this:

I have a back-up of it! (are you surprised? lol)

It’s true. I have never heard of that. Too bad I can’t see the picture because they updated the WordPress app (making it even worse) and it keeps crashing every time I try to look at the image. *sigh* maybe when I look from a computer.

oh stupid WP! 😦 It’s a pretty multi coloured bronzer with 4-5 different peachy / bronze shades in a pinwheel design!

This looks like a Birchbox. Is it? That’s how I discovered Jouer, and I love that moisturizer. Amazing stuff!

This reminds me I need to use my Jouer MMT more often! I do need to mix it as well because it’s way too light now, those Cover FX Drops will come in handy here!

Awesome! You love those drops! I’m glad it has worked out for you.
