Top Five Beauty Favorites | June 2016 | Allure Beauty Box

Look guys! We've jumped back onto the favorites bandwagon!

I've totally not forgotten you. I've been diligently keeping lists of favorites each month. But I was so busy with work, everytime I went to film it was way late in the month and "too late" for favorites videos.

But alas. I finally carved out some time to film and made it a priority to bring the favorites back. I like filming them. You all seem to enjoy them. It's a win-win.

As it turns out, all of the items I've really been digging lately came from my Allure Beauty Box subscription. I signed up and started receiving this subscription service back in March and have not been disappointed by a box yet. It's $15 a month, but I have to say, that extra $5 (compared to what I was paying for my Ipsy subscription) is totally worth it. I feel like I get much better products and even better sizes.

If you sign up using my link (everyone who joins gets their own referral link) you can save $5 on your fist box. No pressure, just in case you're interested.

OK, let's dive right in to the products I've been loving and using a lot.

Hello Breath Spray | L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil | Fekkai Brilliant Glossing Styling Creme | Bvlgari Goldea Perfume | Foreo Luna Play

So those are the products I've been thoroughly enjoying lately. Can't wait to share some more goodies with you in July.

Speaking of which, can you believe we're in the hight of summer? I'm really looking forward to the 4th of July weekend. Can't wait to spend some much needed time floating around in the pool and digging my toes in the sand. Maybe even go catch a good summer movie. I kind of want to see Finding Dory, but I think the hubs isn't as interested. Nevertheless, there are usually some nice summer blockbusters to catch this weekend, so I'm excited.

If you're in the U.S., do you have anything fun planned for this weekend? Anything you're looking forward to doing?

Girly Things by *e* on Allure Magazine's Daily Beauty Reporter

As the title of this post suggests, I'm featured on Allure's Daily Beauty Report blog! You can see my video here or on Allure's YouTube Channel.  Now excuse me while I completely geek out.

If you follow Allure Magazine closely, you may have noticed they were recently holding their Beauty Blogger contest. What you didn't know was that this blog made it into the alternates list and I was asked to participate in the challenges as well. I had to keep it on the lo-lo, which was difficult considering I was pretty much acting like this. 

Basically, everyone who knew me thought I had lost my  mind. The other less logical theory was that I caught a leprechaun and was in possession of a pot of gold -- and I wasn't sharing. Now, I can finally reveal what had me skipping around like a love-struck teenager. And in case we don't fully appreciate how long I had to hold this secret in, notice I'm sporting totally different hair (Spoiler alert: If you don't follow me on IG, I have dark hair again). 

I didn't make it into the final contest (womp, womp!), but they liked my submissions so much, they still wanted to use them (woop woop!)

So, go check out the Revlon makeover I gave my sister and then leave a nice comment or two. In the meantime, I'll be over here, freaking out.

And making exactly that goofy face. You can watch my video and other submissions for the Beauty Blogger of the Year contest on Allure's video page and on The Scene (you've got options!)
