Recap: May 2016

One of my AMAZING friends went to Europe in May, and she offered to bring back whatever beauty bits I wanted!!! I was SO excited and the first thing I thought of was SEROZINC!!! Second on my list was my favorite sunscreen, along with a couple of new ones to try (including a tinted one). She had her eye on some Bourjois items, so I thought it would be a good time to try their Rouge Edition Velvets, which all the UK girls I watch on YouTube seem to have loved or mentioned at one point or another. 

Neutral Lips

Lately I've been showing snippets of my beauty stash because there are products I still haven't swatched on the blog! It's also been a good exercise and reminder of what I have - you know that old story...stuck on your favorites and things fall to the wayside! 

Shower Favorites

Here are my current favorites for in the shower! All except one I've mentioned before, but thought I would do a proper mini review of each.

Bite Beauty Swatches

I've always been drawn to Bite Beauty lip products, and have tried out quite a lot since the brand launched. Here are the colors that have managed to stay in my collection!

Lip Pencil Stash

Though I don't wear lipstick a ton, I do try to wear liner with anything that's not more sheer/balmy. Often I opt for a clear liner, simply because it's easy...but since last Fall I've found a closely matching liner actually seems to work better (it's easier to create my lip shape with a liner and then fill in vs. using a clear liner and then using the lipstick bullet to shape). Here are the non-clear lip liners that are currently in my stash...

Empties: April 2016

I finished a lot of product January through March and purged a lot as well. I think it's probably one of my most successful quarters - as such, it seemed pretty daunting to put it all into a single post. I also thought it would probably be way too much to read, even for an Empties fanatic (like myself ha ha!) so I've opted instead to just leave it at I FINISHED A LOT OF STUFF!!! LOL

Surratt Surreal Real Skin Foundation Wand

I don't think I've been this excited about a makeup product in awhile - I mean I've loved things, sure, but this foundation is absolutely fantastic. There are a few minor points that I'm not thrilled about, but they have to do with price and packaging - the foundation itself is seriously SO SO SO good!!!
