July Makeup Looks

 Hey Y'all!

I think I did pretty well in July too. I think the key, for me, is not pulling to much in the everyday makeup shelf. 

Let's do Fun Friday last, it'll be at the bottom of the blog!

I'll start off with 4th of July. It was probably 100 degrees that day, and we went swimming and this makeup held up pretty well! My hair wouldn't do a thing in this heat, but the makeup did great.

The rest of July's looks, in no particular order:

August Everyday Makeup Shelf, July Mini Review

 Hey Y'all!

I like doing these mini reviews, and sharing what I'll be using in the coming month! If you have any makeup look ideas/challenges please share with me in the comments, or on social media. I really enjoy doing a good challenge!


Last month's blog:

http://craftinwifescreations.blogspot.com/2022/06/july-everyday-makeup-shelf-june-mini.html

The above link is a reminder of all the items I was working with last month.  I think I pulled a good amount, especially knowing how hot it's been here, and how much makeup I've been wearing day to day. July's shelf didn't have any huge must have hits, or misses. I did really enjoy the little 4 pan ColourPop palettes, as I typically go for something much larger. The Bobbi Brown was stunning, and I also really liked it, as well as the Winky Lux lippies. I never did reach for the Lorac Eyeshadow Primer, but I'll leave it around as there's nothing wrong with it, I hardly ever use an eye primer. The Milk Highlight I used a few times, and I like the rollerball just fine, but sometimes the mechanism clicks, and advances the product, and sometimes it doesn't. Overall it was a good makeup month!


Onto August Shelf:

This month I really went very minimal. I chose not to pull any lip products, and just focus on using the Anastasia Lip Kit, I tend to not reapply throughout the day anyhow. I also pulled the "maybe" palettes from my declutter series. Most of the face products stayed the same, just less of them.





At the end of the month I'll decided which (if any) of the 3 possible palettes will end up decluttered (Zodiac from BH Cosmetics, Lorac Mega Pro 4, and Huda Beauty Amethyst).

Which would you keep? Let me know in the comments below!


Have a great day,
