This month, we’ve rounded up our August favorites! I combine makeup, skin care, fragrance, body care and my favorite accessories.
Givenchy Beauty
I am slowly starting to try Givenchy products and I have to say I am hooked.I think so Prism Libre Concealer One of the best concealers I have tried. I have the shade C305 in my concealer and it is creamy, easy to blend, has great coverage, and does not crease or clump. I love that it has the perfect consistency, not too creamy or too matte.
of Prism Libre Loose Setting Powder It is also pure love. It sets foundation and concealer very nicely with a natural blur effect.Based on the first tried color description 4 sourness of muslin For medium skin tones with green and lilac powders for color correction.i also tried 3 boiled rose (a little lighter, but works well) 5 Popelin Mimosa (a bit too dark). I don’t need to color correct green and purple tones, but I still think shade 4 works best for me. I really wish you could create a neutral shade without using color correctors.
What I’ve tried recently is Prism Libre Skin Care Glow Foundation. I finally found a color that suits me in the N280 shade. I love this formula for its natural glow and just the right amount of coverage.
To enhance the radiance of the skin, Chanel #1 skin enhancer Chanel’s was definitely my favorite (exclusive) chanel and Ulta Beauty). Read the full review here. For a more affordable alternative (but no skin care), I still recommend the following. Elf Halo Glow Liquid Filter (I wear shade 3 or 4) Adds an overall natural glow.
lip favorites
This month’s lip favorites are centered on repeat.of YSL Candy Glaze Lip Gloss Stick 13 Flashing Rose and 15 Showcasing Nude are rotated almost daily. Click here for review + sample.
i still reach out Dior Addict Lip Maximizer 14 Shimmer Macadamia (bottom left) and 038 Rose Nude (bottom right) are frequently used. Click here for more shade reviews and swatches.
of Chanel long wear lip pencil Stock is finally back! The Rose Naturel + Nude Blanc shade is best for neutrals in my opinion.
I have tried a few in the matte lip/liquid lip world Lisa Eldridge Velveteen Liquid Lip Color And totally shocked! I am not usually a fan of liquid or matte lips, but this lip from Lisa Eldridge has the most comfortable liquid lip texture I have ever tried. It has an excellent dry down that does not make lips frizzy or dry. The colors are very beautiful and the staying power is impressive.I haven’t posted about these on my blog, but you can see in action on the reel here.

hand care
I am a big fan because of hand care Diptyque Softening Hand Wash and the velvet hand lotion. I have several of these in my home and have just started using them. velvet hand lotion Again, it’s pure love.
What I carry in my bag chanel le lift la creme man I love it for its hydration and smoothness.
I still swear about my nails OPI cuticle oil Affordable option.I was very interested in trying dior huile abricot It seems to have been reformulated recently.
i love skincare
My skin care routine hasn’t changed much these days.I’m still rotating my usual favourites, but I really like them La Mer Soft Moisturizing Cream, concentrate, icon centrate and the Treatment Lotion Hydrating Sheet Mask.
favorite fragrance
Even though fall is approaching, it still feels like summer. My top 3 fragrances for August are: diptyque low papier and Pururu Missing Person Smells like skin father prulu figure For lush figs.I love date nights and something more sophisticated and dressy Creed’s Aventus for Her.
handbag essentials
I regularly rotate my handbag according to my outfits, but I always carry my hair clip (I love the following) Emi Jay), oil blotting paper, travel perfume, and at least some lip balm.of dior oil blotting paper It was a lifesaver in this weather. My favorite lip balm is the squeeze tube or click-up style type.I also swear R&Co Dart Stick for flyaway.
bag details
i love hair care
I have been an avid Oribe fan for many years. I keep coming back to the Gold Lust line. shampoo and conditioner.I like to switch it up depending on my hair needs and just started using it Kerastase Nutritive Line My hair is so much better and I feel great. In the heat of summer, it’s easy to forget that the sun, heat, and pools can dry out your hair. There are different options depending on your hair type (i.e. fine or thick), but I love my hair type. Bain Satin Shampoo for fine to medium hair + moisturizing conditioner. It moisturizes but rinses well so as not to leave a heavy film on hair.
But the biggest game changer for me is heat protect styling cream and Thermal protection leave-in spray. Both are great leave-in products that help moisturize and reduce frizz without being too heavy.
If I had to pick one, I would really love it heat protect styling cream (great for medium hair). People with fine to medium hair should give it a try. leave-in spray.
mini pouch
The last one is a new mini pouch.ordered one of them Stoney Clover Mini Pouch (available at Rotate, saxophone, stoney clover). Quite expensive for a small pouch, but I like the size and shape. We also have many other options, such as plain nylon material, patterned nylon, and nylon + clear. Stoney Clover’s site is cute because you can customize your own using various emblems. I think it gets dirty easily because it’s fabric, but I like the size and construction.
Stoney Clover is having a great Labor Day sale this weekend with 40% off many items. My clear pouch is also included in the sale.
Other pouches are on sale for LABOR DAY
The mini one I’m actually using is below
That concludes our August favorites. I’d love to hear about your favorites this month!
