Your skin tone/coloring: above with freckles, gree/gray/blue eyes, warm brown hair.

Most used lip product this month? Probably my Colourpop Roller Gloss in Vanilla Sundae. It’s what I wear after I don’t feel like wearing lipstick anymore or just want something on my lips. I haven’t had it for very long, but it’s already half way gone!

Go-to cheek products this month? Glossier Cloud Paint in Beam, Bare Minerals Blonzer in Kiss of Pink, Milani Baked Highlighter in Dolce Perla, CT Contour Wand, Nabla Skin Bronzing in Dune.

Favorite eye palette this month? Ohh, that’s a hard one. I can’t narrow it down to one because I switch around a lot! It’s a tossup between my Shroud Cosmetics It’s Freaking Bats palette and BH Cosmetics Passion in Paris palette.

Your skin tone/coloring: summer time it’s very suntanned, slightly olive,

Most used lip product this month? burts bees ultra lip balm (white tube), Sephora ultra shine lip gloss N16 red sand, apply over balm, blot, mlbb.

Go-to cheek products this month? Cover FX sunkissed bronzer, matte side, on eyes and cheeks, MUG ablaze highlighter, Fenty killawatt foil mimosa sunrise/sangria sunset.

Favorite eye palette this month? all the Temptalia x SG lol, using the blues and greens to set eyeliner and a bit on outer corner, current fave is Quintessance, I’m having a summer fling with celestial blue, aurora and mielke way (stunning shade!) Looking forward to cooler weather to experiment with the warmer and deeper shades, these palettes are so good!

I go for no makeup/makeup look, longevity is key. Because I’m adding to a healthy dose of tinted mineral SPF slathered everywhere, I can use a small amount of cheek and eye products to liven up my face and not be too blingy. Wear time is awesome! 🙂

Most used lip product this month? That’s a toss up between Maybelline’s Spice for Me, CP’s Foolish and the last of my Clarin’s Joli Rouge Cinnamon Spice.

Go-to cheek products this month? The Balm’s Hot Mama

Favorite eye palette this month? On the Horizons Light palette, Naked 1 and Pixi Beauty Reflex Light.

Your skin tone/coloring: Above, grey-green eyes, dark brown hair.
Most used lip product this month? MAC Hey Frenchie.
Go-to cheek products this month? Not sure, I have used quite a few.
Favorite eye palette this month? Easy, all three of SG X Temptalia (light). I have used them one or two at a time almost every day since I got them. By now I sometime think I could just toss my other colourful palettes, not that I will, but I haven’t reached for any of them since I got the three lovely palettes. Dear Reader also makes for one of the best one and done shades I own.

Your skin tone/coloring: Fair, neutral undertones, blue/green eyes, very light brunette with blonde highlights and greys
Most used lip product this month? Topaz gloss topper (alone or over lipstick) from Becca
Go-to cheek products this month? NARS Hot Fix palette
Favorite eye palette this month? Alter Ego Artemis (similar color scheme to the ND Blue/green one, not a dupe but color story is alike). Also, I have a NARS eyeshadow duo Kalahari that I use for the crease since the fault of many a palette is that it lacks a proper crease/transition color, so that is my most used product

Favorite eye palette this month? Smashbox Minimalist (took it away for 5 days at friends’ cottage – it was the only shadow I took and to be honest, I hardly used it at all).
