May Favorites

The first month of my summer break has come and gone and I have to admit I am relieved that June is starting and I will be once again have a routine. Since I spent a majority of the month in sunny California, most of my favorites coincide with warm weather. On my face, I have mostly been wearing the Aveeno Tinted Moisturizer which has SPF 30 and gives just enough coverage. I love it so much I did a whole post on it here. I also have gotten into conturing my face, which has become quite simple with my handy dandy Real Techniques 'Contour Brush' and Too Faced 'Chocolate Soleil' bronzer. This bronzer is matte and does the job perfectly. On my lips I have been wearing the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in 'Honey' practically everyday. The color is very natural and it stays on for hours. Lastly, I have been very fond of a particular Mac eyeshadow that I bought because of this post by the lovely Amelia Jane. 'Sable' is a beautiful metallic bronze with a dash of pink. I have been wearing it both all over the lid and on the outer lid with another color. What have you been loving this month?

Aveeno // Tinted Moisturizer

Off the bat, I have to confess to a couple of things: I have never used a tinted moisturizer previous to this and I actually stole this off my dear mom. I had been looking for something that would provide some coverage to my still adolescent skin and would be suitable for the warm weather. I researched various BB creams and CC creams and was ready to buy the new Garnier BB cream when I stubbled upon the Aveeno Tinted Moisturizer in my mom's bathroom while looking for a new toothbrush [perhaps too much information]. Turns out that this product actually has a higher SPF than the Garnier BB cream and has a pump on the bottle which I always find handy. Now aside from the convenient packaging, the actual moisturizer evens out my skin tone and freshens up my complexion. Overall, it's great for daytime wear! My mother was nice enough to surrender it over to me since she is not an avid make up wearer. Thanks mom! Have you tried any tinted moisturizers?
