Beauty | July Favorites

Herro everyone! I know it's almost a little too late to talk about July favorites, but I feel like I haven't talked about makeup in awhile and I've gotten WAY too many things recently to not talk about them! I've been traveling recently (hey hey...expect a post on that soon!) and I've gotten the chance to try out some new, lovely products.

MAC 217 Brush
Where. Has. This. Brush. Been. My. Whole. LIFE?! I have been drooling over this product for ages, and I finally broke down and bought it. Personally, I think my eyeshadow application is 10x better with this brush and I totally understand now why so many people fawn all over it. My friend called it a "makeup staple" and I totally understand why.

Stila "In the Light" Eyeshadow Palette
Okay, I may or may not have been searching for another product when I bought this, but since it's one of the more inexpensive palettes on the market, I figured this purchase wouldn't be too bad. I absolutely LOVE it! This product features Stila Kitten, which I'm pretty sure is one of their most famous eyeshadows, and I understand why. Every shade is very usable, and I'm obsessed with all of them.

Benefit Blush in "Hervana"
Once again, this is a product that I've been eyeing up for awhile, but haven't found a justification for buying it. Well, when I stumbled across the Benefit store on Fillmore Street in San Francisco, I absolutely HAD to! I can say with confidence that I made a good choice. I had originally expected it to be a bit more pigmented, but once it kind of settles in the cheeks, it is perfection. I love it. I'm wearing it today.

Tanya Burr Lip Glosses in "Afternoon Tea" and "Picnic in the Park"
I was SO excited when I realized that I could purchase Tanya's glosses via feelunique.com. While they're a bit pricey, I love the smell and look of these glosses. I use "Picnic in the Park" more because it's a beautiful, pinky, everyday shade and I love wearing it to work. I also love wearing a gloss made by a YouTuber that I watch? How cool!!


Andddd since I'm a bookie person, I have to include my book fave!

This book is the CUTEST book I've read in a while. A lot of people in the comment said it's like Sheldon falling in love from "The Big Bang Theory," but I personally found it more like Sherlock Holmes falling in love. Don Tillman is extremely intellectual, but unfortunately very inadequate when it comes to being social. He has given up on dating, since he thinks the negatives outweigh the positives, he creates a 16-page questionnaire called The Wife Project, which will mathematically find him a wife. It's a bit predictable in a light-hearted way, but sometimes you need that! I totally recommend it as a beach read. If you want to follow what I'm currently reading, feel free to follow me on Goodreads! Links are on the right :)

Those are my favorites! Now onto a long, detailed post on our San Francisco trip! Hope you guys are ready!
