Current Makeup Loves / August 2015

Hey it's Chloe and I am back to share my current makeup loves!  Two new products (to me) two old.  Three high end one drugstore.  Two face products, one eye product, and one lips. I have a good mix with these four makeup products, and they are ALL Cruelty free!  Also, if you would like to purchase any of these items they will all be linked here: Chloe's a Few of my Favorite Things  Enjoy!

We'll start with the Too Faced products, I love this brand because the packaging is luxe and the products are dreamy.

The first product is the Too faced better than sex mascara which I have raved about previously on this blog, but I'll just describe it briefly because it is still a favorite of mine.  First off the packaging is so luxe, made of a heavier metal like material and I just love the pink color and engraved label.  The mascara wand is the perfect hour glass curved shape which makes for easy application.  This mascara makes my lashes long, dark, and full, what more could a girl as for?  After I'm finished applying this mascara my lashes are doll like and that is why the Too faced better than sex mascara secures a special place in my heart. 

I received this Too faced lipstick in "Nude beach" for my 16th birthday from a friend.  Let me just say it has quickly soared to the top of my list of favorite lip products.  

The formulation is buttery smooth and the pigmentation is bold with a solid finish.  I will defiantly be adding more Too Faced lip products to my collection in the future.

The shade "Nude Beach" (Bottom swatch) is the perfect everyday lip shade, it's a "my lips but better" color and this perfect formulation is long wear as well.  Nude Beach has a home in my purse because I am constantly wearing this lipstick.

Now for the magical concealer (yes I called a concealer magical just go with it) the Tarte Maracuja creaseless concealer.  I was on the hunt for a full coverage long wear concealer and this Tarte one is a perfect fit.  With it's full coverage formulation I only need to use a drop of concealer and it  brightens up my under eye area beautifully.  The best part about the concealer is that it is long wear, and DOES NOT TURN ORANGE, yay!!! I highly recommend this Tarte concealer and will be using it for a good long time.

My last product is the only Drugstore one, but it's a love all the same!  This Natural Nude Highlighter by Physician's Formula!

 This product gives off the most beautiful shine when applied, it makes me feel like I was sprinkled with fairy dust haha!  There are three rows of different shimmering shades from white to blush to bronze, but I just take my brush and swirl them all together for the perfect glow.

Those are all my current makeup loves!!  Tell me in the comments if you have tried any of these products mentioned.  Also let me know which ones you will be adding to your wish list!  See you in the comments!  

Summer Shore Lookbook ☼

Summer is coming to a close and these days I'm enjoying every last second.  Today I am sharing some pictures that my dad took of me at the shore during sunset, yes outfit details & all.  I also made an Ocean side lookbook as well that I will add at the end of this post for some extra summer inspo, enjoy!

This first outfit is simple and easy to throw over a bathing suit as I did.  I'm wearing this baby doll fit top in beautiful blue tones from Aeropostale.  Underneath I have my new favorite lavender bikini top from Victoria's Secret.  For bottoms I'm wearing simple white jean shorts from Hollister. I always reach for the white compared to regular jeans, they suit my style a bit more.  As for my sunglasses I'm wearing these super cute heart shaped ones from Charlotte Russe.  

This second outfit is simple but on trend, a type of outfit that I see reblogged on Tumblr.  I'm wearing distressed high rise shorts from Abercrombie paired with a plain white crop top from Brandy Melville.  Simple yes, but the statement piece here are these stunning sunglasses by Quay Australia.  These are the Kitti sunnies in white, they have an old hollywood beach vibe and I've been wearing them all throughout the summer.

This last outfit is carefree, easy wear,  California chic maybe? A floral shift dress with a strappy bandeau both from Brandy Melville.  The dress is light and casual making it perfect for the beach.  I felt like a Brandy model in this outfit, especially with this beautiful scenery behind me. 

 

I hope you enjoyed the Outfits/Scenery, remember summer does not last forever.  Let cherish every moment.
