Monthly Favorites: July 2011


I never do monthly favorites because my favorites usually stay the same; however, 
BabyJap of Pink Thought Bubble tagged me. 
I never got tagged before and I was super excited when she did! 
So, I decided to post my monthly July favorites for you all. =)


Japonesque Professional Blush Brush ($38) & Studio Gear #13 Blush Brush ($35): Both brushes are super soft and not too dense or flimsy for blush application. They are the softest brushes that I own (along with my Cover FX #160 brush: review) and I absolutely adore them. They are both very similar, except the bristles of the Japonesque brush is a smidgen longer and the bristles of the Studio Gear brush is a little wider & a tiny bit denser, but both brushes essentially perform the same. (I will do an in-depth review of both brushes soon.)


Dior Shimmer Star Highlighter in Amber Diamond (review & swatches): This is my holy grail highlighter. It gives me a nice glow & a gorgeous sheen without any glittery mess. It is truly an amazing product and the packaging is just the "icing on the cake".

Dior Healthy Glow Powder Bronzer in Aurora (review & swatches): I can't stress how lovely Dior's packaging is, but besides that, the product itself is beautiful on my cheeks. The color acts both as a bronzer and blush for me. It's such a shame that it's limited edition; however, Dior's Bronze Original Tan in Healthy Tan 01 (review & swatchesis a dupe for it. Healthy Tan may not look similar to Aurora when swatched on my arms, but when I apply it on my cheeks, I can barely tell the difference between those two. I recommend checking out Healthy Tan if you can't get a hold of Aurora.

Urban Decay Half Baked Eyeshadow (swatches): I did a look here using this eyeshadow. It's my all time favorite eyeshadow. Other gold eyeshadows are too yellow, cool-toned or "dirty" looking. Half Baked is the perfect shade of gold for me and I love pairing it with browns or greens.

    I swatched Rose Diamond in store and it was beautiful as well, but I don't know if I can pull it off with my yellow skintone cuz Rose Diamond is more pinkish, but it looks gorgeous in pan!
