I know I said last month that summer was officially here, but I was wrong.
Here are some hot new products I couldn't get enough of!

Nip + Fab Body, Shimmer Leg Fix:
Anything that contains rose and shimmer instantly has me sold! This skin softening moisturizer has just enough glitter to give skin a jlo glow, while the subtle mix of rose and ginger leaves you smelling like an enchanting summer vacation night. I'm obsessed with applying this right before I go out. Sometimes, I'll even apply it to my shoulders and décolletage to have my whole body gleamin' and glowing'!
Fresh, Rose Face Mask:
A few months ago I needed a new mask to try out, so I dug deep into my skincare archives and found an old favorite. Great for all skin types, this mask is infused with rosewater and actual roses (two and a half per jar, to be exact), to restore radiance and suppleness to the skin. Along with cucumber extract and aloe vera, to help calm and tone. I seriously love this mask, and love how soft and smooth it leaves my skin feeling! Recommended use is 2-3 times a week, but to be honest I use it about once or twice a month. Bonus: it also helps calm and reduce any breakouts I may have.
Mac, Melba Blush:
I honestly don't know why I didn't include this blush in last months favorites, for we are going on a two month long relationship! I have to give a shoutout to my bestie for leaving her practically empty pan at my house, and officially starting our love affair. Melba is a soft matte, coral blush with peach tones that compliment all skins and makeup looks. Not too orange and not too pink, but juuuust right!
Elizabeth and James, Nirvana Black:
Personally, my favorite fragrances are ones that embody masculinity with feminine sophistication. There is something so sexy and empowering about a strong musky scent on a woman, and this one by Elizabeth and James does not fall short! Being the darker twin of the two (you can read about how much I used to love Nirvana White here), Nirvana Black strikes the perfect balance by combining notes of violet, sandalwood, and vanilla. A warm blend that leaves a mysterious aura. Plus, this fragrance is a good dupe for my go-to scent, Tom Ford Black Orchid at a fraction of the price!
Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics, Lip Pencil- Pennyroyal:
I just couldn't stay away from this lip pencil last month! Not only does it literally pair with all my favorite nudes, this roasted peachy brown [pencil] is long lasting and creamy so it lines lips with ease. The best part, OCC's pencils can be used on the eyes and face too! I love to wear this one in my water line when I rock a smokey brown eye.

Until next month...
