June Faves!


Hey Guys!
Well I will just get right into it rather than blabbing about how I have been M.I.A lately, I must admit that I have just been less than inspired lately to do much blogging. I apologize !
So without further ado here's my not so inspired June Favorites!

First up:
(drum roll)

Nivea's Touch of Water Lily Hydrating shower Gel!
Well there's so many things one could say about this product because it's just all around great! The smell is to die for and the lather is great also! This product is very hydrating and leaves my skin feeling soft to the touch! I must admit that I originally picked it up because the scent was just AMAZING! I did pick this up at my local grocery store and the product is new so I am assuming you could find it at any other drug store. Bravo for Nivea!

Pssssst! Instant Dry Shampoo!
I picked this up at my local walmart and being that I had never tried a dry shampoo before I was intrigued by the idea of it! I do not have naturally oily hair but, my hair is long and I can't wash it every day because my natural oils do not have a chance to really distribute through my hair. So I picked this up after giving up on my Tresemme Fresh Start dry shampoo, which just made my hair feel dirtier and I mean that defeats the purpose of a dry shampoo after all. But this one has a better effect it makes the appearance of oily hair disappear instantly...I really love this product!

Sexy Little Things NOIR body lotion by Victoria's Secret!
YUMMY!
Now I really don't have much to say about this product other than I wear it specifically for the scent alone! The scent is very sexy and flirty, and I mean for $6 at Victoria's secret I couldn't pass it up!

Revlon's Lilac Pastelle Nail Varnish!
The color is the perfect lilac pink color!
The quality is okay for a drugstore nail polish but with 2 coats you have the perfect opaque lilac color for the summer.
I picked this up at Walgreens for I want to say like $4.99 which was cheaper than the O.P.I 's Lucky Lucky Lavender that I paid $8.50 for which is also a great color but I don't really want to pay that price for a nail polish.

Hard Candy's 1,000 Lashes fiberized lash weave primer!
Again I picked this up at Walmart I think it was around $6....This product I think can be compared to the lash primer by Urban Decay. Being that I never tried a lash primer before, I do like the effects of this one! It make my lashes thicker and longer. I use this product in conjunction with my Loreal Voluminous mascara. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

Prestige Lip liner in the color Silk
This lipliner is the best one thus far I have ever found at the drug store! Not at all the usual mucky mauve brown color! If I could decribe the color I would say that it is the color of my natural lips just a little more nude and prettier! I know people do have a hard time finding this product. I guess I am lucky because I stumbled upon it at my local Kmart and I paid like $7. Great BUY!!!

Victoria's Secret Lip Liner in the color Soft Rose!
So pretty!!! It's the perfect mauve pink color and it's great if you just want to add color to your lips if you are bored of the nude lip without resorting to a red or a dark purple lipstick. I just fill my lips in with it and top it off with a pink gloss like MAC's underage.!
I wish I could remember the exact price but something is telling me it was like $1o

LAST BUT NOT LEAST......

Calvin Klein's Concealer in Bisque
Picked this up at marshalls in a set with two other single eyeshadows for sale of $7. It is great especially for under the eyes and has great coverage!!

well, thats it for this June's Favorites!
If you ever come across these products PLEASE try them out!!!
They are all amazing!
Talk to you guys on my next post which will be soon HOPEFULLY!!

Thanks so much & Dont forget to comment and fallow!!
LOVE YA!
-Alicia =)

40 Questions...

I wasn't actually tagged to do this.....
(But) the infamous lollipop26 did it and I feel like I need to do it too...lol =)
So I caution you not too read this, unless you are overwhelmed with boredom like I was when I typed up this terribly long post.
SKINCARE:
1. How many times do you wash your face daily?
Twice.
2. What skin type do you have?
Dry and oily combination, mostly dry.
3. What is your current facial wash?
Cetaphil.
4. Do you exfoliate your face?
Only when I remember and no I havent lately..
5. What brand of exfoliator do you use?
I dont use one for my face but for my body I always use Soft Soap apricot scrub..
6. What moisturizer do you use?
St. Ives Mineral Moisturizer for my face and for my body always Soap and Glory's "The Righteous Butter" its great stuff!
7. Do you have freckles?
Yes! Under my cheeks and they are very prominant after they have been exposed to Florida's harsh sun. They tend to go away during the winter...
8. Do you use eye cream?
No, I havent found one that actually works.
9. Do you or did you have acne prone skin?
Never. I never get acne, which I am very thankful and blessed for thanks to my darling mother. But I do get the occasional beast pimple sometimes before my monthly friend comes around...and it is usually in some horrible spot like in the center of my fore head and usually burried underneath a million layers of skin!
10. Did you ever use Pro- Activ?
No.
MAKE -UP:
11. What foundation do you use?
MAC's Hyper real.
12. How about concealer?
Yes, Bobbi Brown's creamy concealer in the color sand under my eyes but sometimes I hate it because of the consistancy...It's probably my Love/Hate product of the year.
13. Do you know your undertone color?
I would say I have yellow undertones....But I'm probably wrong.
14. What do you think of false eyelashes?
LOVE the way the look! But are impossible for me to apply myself!
15. Did you know that you are supposed to change your mascara every 3 months?
Yes! Do I? Not always.....I guess it depends if i remember or not.
16. What brand of mascara do you use?
Its a combo. of Loreal's Voluminous and Rimmel's Sexy curves.
17. Sephora or MAC?
Here's my thaughts on each:
Sephora: Expensive but great selection of awesome products!
MAC: Not as expensive as most designer make up like YSL or Chanel but great products...But some of their products are definitly over rated for example, some of the eyeshadows or mascaras which are (dupeable) Don't know if I spelt that correctly...
But I have to choose I would say Sephora, sorry MAC.
18. Do you have a MAC pro card?
No. Dont need it.
19. What make up tools do you use in application?
Fingers for my liquid foundation, MAC 109 for bronzer and MAC 217 for eye shadow...
20. Do you use a make up based primer for the eyes?
I ADORE MAC's Painterly paint pot!! It's my favorite.
21. What is your favorite eyeshadow?
MAC 's Naked lunch it's great for an all over color wash on your lid!
22. Do you use pencil or liquid eyeiner?
Liquid for my top lash line! I love the winged eyeliner look! I love Loreals lineur intense!
23. How often do you poke your eyes with an eyeliner pencil?
Not often.
24. What do you think of pigments?
Love them!
25. Do you use mineral make up?
Yes I tried Bare Essentials and I love to use it to set my liquid foundation.
26. What is your favorite lipstick?
MAC Fleshpot.
27. What is your favorite lipgloss?
MAC Underage.
28. What is your favorite blush to use?
I love a variety of blush...BUT I have been currently loving the Maybelline mousse blush in the color whipped strawberries, its a gorgeous hot/ baby pink to wear on your cheeks.
29. Do you ever buy make up on ebay?
No. I would rather go through the experience of buying it in person rather than run the risk of getting ripped off or buying a color that is just not right for you or a product that is not worth the trouble. I just don't see the point.
30. Do you like drugstore make up?
YES! I love when I can find a product that is dirt cheap and great quality!
31. Do you ever go to CCO's?
Yes, I have one like 3 miles from my house! It's great!
32. Did you ever consider taking make up classes?
No, I don't need them really when I have youtube at hand. But I guess it could be a fun experience.
33. Are you clumsy when applying make up?
Not really, I like it when I can take my time...but when your in a rush than who cares if you can manage to slap it on your face and run out the door without anyone noticing?
34. Name a make up crime that you hate?
Over plucked or pencil brows....or unmatched foundation.
35. Do you like colorful shades of make up?
On me? Not really....but I have seen so many beautiful colorful looks! I just prefer earthy tones of make up on myself.
36. Which celebrity always has great make up?
Obviously the Kardashian sisters! But also Jennifer Lopez and Megan Fox! Also any of the Victorias secret angels always sport really glamorous make up looks!
37. If you could leave the house with just one make up item what would it be?
Liquid eye liner.
38. Could you ever leave the house without any makeup on?
Yes, I manage to do it alot.
39. Do you think you look good without any make up on?
Ummm, I still look like myself whether I wear any make up or not, I just feel more glamorous when I have it on I guess.
40. What do you think of make up?
I love it! I love how you can use your imagination with it and how practical make up can be and i guess how inpractical it be also. It's just fun!
