Spiced Beauty: June 2011 favorites

I totally struggle with putting out my monthly favorites. I apologize but I`ll try to put out one a month for the rest of the year!

Before I go on to my eight favorites... Let me start off by explaining my how my June was.

VERY stressful...unfortunately, I didn't have time to indulge in a lot of beauty products.

This July I will try to switch it up! So be sure to look out for that.

1. Dove go fresh Body Mist in Nectarine and White Ginger scent-Perfect for anyone on the go. I can spray this like four times and it wont be overpowering. 
2. Korres Deluxe Size Body Butter in Fig- I use to refuse anything with figs in it.. Bad childhood memories..haha. The Shea butter and Figs makes my hands feel AMAZING!
3. EOS lipbalm in Lemon- Huge thank you to Fabdiva20 she sent me a lovely package which included this lipbalm. I'm truly obsessed with how soft it makes my lips!
4. Annabelle 4SHOW Eyeshadow in Tiger-Eye- All of these colors are perfect for my skin-tone. Click the picture for a HD close up.
5. Diane Lai REJUVENATE- This was one of the first moisturizers which has not irritated my skin after prolonged use. If you have sensitive skin you will know how hard it is to find product that!
6. H&M Organic Lipgloss- It was a $1.00 on sale! Amazing for low maintenance days because it`s long lasting.
7. Vasanti Eye Wonder Cream- I currently don't have dark circles, wrinkles or puffiness. But dark eye circles run in my family, so I`m trying my best to prevent it before it occurs.
8. Ecotools Powder Brush- Its amazingly soft, so why wouldn't it be a fav :)

My Mini Nars Collection: Red Lizard, Taj Mahal & Exhibit A

I'm always getting questioned about Nars blushes. My collection is very tiny but cute. It consists of two blushes and one lipstick. I've heard nothing but good things about Nars, so of course I'd have to try them out for myself!

I think every girl should have at least one NARS blush!

Taj Mahal
Orange with a shimmer

This blush is super pigmented! 

You can wear it alone or layer it with Exhibit A.

 Exhibit A

Brilliant red

Gorgeous on every skin tone. A little bit goes a long way! 

 Red Lizard

Pull Powered Red

One of my top five favorite reds. It's like red velvet on the lips!

 Swatches!

They all have great pigmentation & staying power!

Which one is your favorite?

Mary Kay® Mineral Eye Color swatches

I had the chance to try six Mary Kay® Mineral Eye Color for Spiced Beauty. Although they looked amazing, I had no idea how they would look on me.

Would they be cheap, non-pigmented or low quality?

After my first swatch, I couldn't believe how they were the complete opposite of my thoughts.

I wear mostly mattes and we all know how chalky and unflattering they can be but these have quickly become my favorites. Let's get on with the swatches!

Best Birthday present ever + mini clothing haul
