Favorite Products Of The Month : July 2014

It's time to reveal my favorite products for the month of July !

 

1- Bioderma Sebium H2O Purifying Cleansing Micelle Solution (6.99 $/ 100 ml).

With this micelle solution, you don't need to worry about going to bed with a dirty face. It completely takes your makeup off while cleansing your skin and all of this without the need to be rinsed out. As a final result, there's no residue left on your skin and it really feels like you actually washed your face.
They also have a formula for sensitive skin, but personally I adore the Sebium version, since it perfectly suits my combination skin.

2- Studio Makeup Soft Blend Pressed Powder in Bisque (21 $).
I love this powder for its light, smooth and velvety texture. It also has a very buildable coverage which means that you can go from a natural to completely matte finish. The good thing about this product is that no matter how many layers you apply, it will never end up looking cakey. I also like how this color perfectly blends with my skin tone.

3- Benefit Watt's Up Highlighter (36 $).
What I like the most about the Benefit Soft Focus Highlighter is the color. It's very hard for me to find a good highlighter that's not too ashy or too pinkish for my skin tone. This one is of a nice beige peachy color, even though it still could have been a little bit more yellow based. I also really love the final look on my skin and the texture, which is not too creamy or too powdery. I have been using the pocket format of this highlighter a lot during this past month, especially when I was on the go. The stick format makes it very easy to apply and the size allows me to bring it everywhere. I love it !

4- Lush Black Stocking Body Tint (7.45 $).
The amount of coverage you can get with this body tint is amazing. With this bar format, you have no choice but to apply the product directly on the skin which is genius, since it will give you a lot of coverage and a very opaque finish ! I love the color because it's not orange at all. It's actually a really dark brown color, which makes it look more like an authentic tan. The texture is not too creamy, which prevents it from sliding on the skin during the application. However, it does transfer to clothing and other fabrics if you rub your skin too hard against them. The shimmery finish gives a beautiful glow without looking too artificial. A must for the summer !

5- Organix Penetrating Moroccan Argan Oil (8.99 $).
Among all of the drugstore Argan Oils I have tried, this one is the closest one to the original Moroccan Oil, in terms of texture and result. The other ones are too liquidy and seem to just sit on my hair without being absorbed. With the Organix Penetrating Moroccan Argan Oil, my hair feels softer and rejuvenated a day after I apply it. It doesn't get absorbed instantly like the Original Moroccan Oil, which makes my hair immediately soft an silky, but it still gives my hair a similar effect. In conclusion, this product is perfect for extremely dry and damaged hair. You will get results, unlike other oils !

6- Make Up For Ever Rouge Artist Natural in N9 Copper Pink (23 $).
This Make Up For Ever lipstick is my go to lip product. The shade is the same as my natural lip color but a bit more red, which gives me a perfect flush and an overall healthy look. The texture and the opacity are amazing. It's not too matte and not too glossy, with a nice creamy finish. The mini sample format is also very convenient and super cute !

7- Quo Mini Smokey Eye Eyeshadow Palette in Brown (5 $).
I actually have been using this eyeshadow palette for the past 7 months, at least once a week. It's the ultimate eye makeup look for me. Every single color works well with one another, the quality is amazing, the texture is very creamy and it lasts all day long ! The mini and super compact packaging makes it very easy to carry everywhere, and all of this at an exceptional price. What not to love about this mini palette !
