July Favorites

Hi Beauties! Let's get started for my July Favorites!

STILA MAKEUP MUSIC PLAYERNo. 1 on the list, Stila Makeup Player! This is like an ordinary train case with speaker on it. It's huge, lots of space and sturdy. Its using batteries and you can use any of your fave MP3 player to play music of your choice. Who doesn't like music while doing your makeup, isnt it cool?! And its portable, you can bring it anywhere, including the beach! It's lightweight and comes with a handy bag for protection. I love this! except that when it was delivered, items like the information booklet, card, DVD, batteries and few makeup products included with the player were missing, so I had to contact Stila. That's the only hassle, hope it won't happen again Stila because I love your products. I am a huge fan of your Lip glaze too.
I ordered this together with the Makeup music player and I'm loving it! I've been dreaming about getting this for a long time until I found out that its on sale for $20.00 from regular price of $38.00, not bad at all. But what's cool about it is that it comes with 16-page Lookbook with photos of models and numerous looks. It's very helpful and I have tried several looks already, and the outcome were great. The pigments and color payoff are amazing, great if use either wet or as dry eyeshadow.


This I got from my New Beauty Testtube. Its a hand cream I use every night, but you can use it every three to four hours. It claims to kill 99% of germs on contact. Its very gentle on the skin, very moisturizing for an anti-bacterial cream. And what I love about this is that, it doesn't dry out your hands like any alcohol-based anti-bacterial hand creams. So its good and must have!


This is very lightweight oil I used on tips of my hair. You can use it daily as moisturizer or treatment for your skin, hair and nails too. It brings a certain glow on you, I'm not sure though what it is but it's one product I can not live without right now.


SEDU REVOLUTION NANO TOURMALINE IONIC STYLING IRON
I bought this at Ulta and have been using this ever since. I have bought several hair irons in the past, they don't usually last but this one hopefully is for keeps. I used this to create beach hair wavy look as seen on the picture above right of this page header. It uses tourmaline infused ceramic and unique polishing process to create smooth plates that glide through the hair without snagging or pulling. You can control the heat settings to reduce frizz and create long lasting results, either straight, wavy, and curly. Infra red heat technology seals in hair's natural moisture and protects hair from heat damage. I love this!

I used this several times last month. Use it with dark colors as base and you're good to go. It lasts for me at least a couple of weeks before it starts chipping, I love this! very versatile!
