Why I'm Loving It:
I'm such a novice when it comes to liquid eyeliners. I fail every time I try. I end up looking like Panda with my shaky hands. Then I found this new product, I realized with liquid eyeliners, the brush is the key. This eyeliner has been compare to the Japanese popular eyeliners, because the brush is very similar. It's stiff but very thin, so it gives you a lot of control. You get so much control on how much you apply because it's a pen form. the applicator/tip isn't made of hairs but more like this rubber material so it won't splay out when you line your eyes. the formula does not crack and it dries in a snap and lasts almost all day. And it claims to make your lashes longer, I will keep testing it out to see if I see the result. Regardless, I'm no longer terrified at applying liquid liners!

in Kitten (shimmering nude pink)

$18

Why I'm Loving It:
Kitten is Stila's number one selling shade. They even make lip glosses in the shade Kitten. This is a gorgeous shimmering color, I wear it almost everyday this summer. It instantly brightens your eyes. On a lazy day if I'm running late for work or if I just want a no fuss look, I just throw this on all over my lid and then put on eyeliner & mascara. At $18 a pop, it's pricy. But check your local Costco or Sephora for combo deals. Like this one from Sephora for $14 and it has Kitten in there:

(matte tawny nude/ shimmering nude pink/ brown with gold flecks)

Why I'm Loving It:
It's kind of pricey for a little jar of 1.0 oz, but you just need a couple drops and it will be enough for your whole face. I LOVE this product for use at night! I apply this at night before bedtime over my moisturizer and when I wake up in the morning my skin is glowing, smooth and refreshed. This recovery serum goes on smoothly and the oil is very soothing to the skin and the smell of lavender is very calming and helps to relax you for a long nights sleep. After using this after few weeks, I have noticed my skin is less oily, it is matte and soft and not greasy at all.

Birchbox
Here is a photo of my August Birchbox, in case you are interested, here is what I got (the prices are full-size prices):


Befine Exfoliating Cleanser $25
Natural brown sugar beads slough away dead skin. Because they dissolve as you scrub, there’s no danger of overdoing it. At the same time, sweet almond oil, oat protein, and ginger root extract work to soothe and hydrate skin.
 
Befine Night Cream $30
This moisturizer is packed with naturally healing ingredients. Rice Bran Proteins and Vitamin E increase elasticity in skin, while Iris Florentina extract smoothes and softens fine lines. But the power ingredient is Cocoa, which has caffeine to increase circulation and give you glowing skin.

TOCCA SPF 30+ Sunscreen Towelettes in Stella
$24
The most important ingredients are titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, two physical sunblocks that protect you from UVA and UVB rays. Vitamin E and B5, aloe, and marine silk help calm and hydrate even the most sensitive of skin.
 
Stila Sheer Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 $34
This weightless tinted moisturizer has been designed to do many things—and do them well. The oil-free formula keeps skin hydrated, while light-diffusing pigments soften fine lines and conceal blemishes. At the same time, a host of natural ingredients help protect skin, including vitamins A and E, ginseng root extract, gingko biloba leaf, and chamomile. Oh, and it has SPF 20, too.

Number 4 Lumiere d'hiver Reconstructing Masque $58
Soy protein works to reconstruct and strengthen hair while natural conditioners like shea butter, jojoba seed oil, and sunflower oil nourish and moisturize. Don’t forget about the silkiness factor — for that, there’s silicone polymer, which smoothes and detangles. 

Number 4 Fleurs de Temps Volumizing Shampoo
$34
This sulfate-free formula is designed to detangle and cleanse hair without weighing it down. It uses natural lemongrass, golden seal, and gooseberry, plus the brand’s four signature Liquid Complexes™. Each complex is a different blend of natural ingredients designed to help protect, purify, strengthen, and revitalize hair.

Twistband Hair Ties $5
Each Twistband is made of soft elastic that keeps braids, buns, and ponytails secured. Because they’re thicker than regular hair ties, they don’t leave crimps in hair.
