The heat has been beating down on our heads all month and as much as I love summer it is wrecking my make up routine. Getting dressed in the morning has become a race to see how fast I can get my make up on before it goes sliding down my face and that is with the a.c. on full blast. I had to come up with a way to keep the make up on my face. I started using Smashbox Camera Ready BB primer to even my skin tone and NYX Shine Killer to combat the oil slick after applying the basics, eyebrows, nude eyeshadow, mascara and lipstick I apply Matte Finish setting spray also from NYX.  This trio holds my make up in place all day and a late afternoon touch up is all I need to look professional and pretty. Best of all these products are affordable and can be found at your favorite Ulta or Sephora. I hope this helps someone out there with similar summer make up blues.

I received my first @ipsy bag in the mail today! It was a great surprise like coming home to a surprise birthday gift. The July bag is full of goodies a full size Tarte blush in Park Ave Princess, an OFRA eyeshadow and highlighter in BLISS. Looking at the package I was surprised to see a 40% online coupon type in the code and you get a discount off your entire purchase. I also received a silky lip balm from be a…..bombshell in Ruby. A nice sheer red that tints the lips and keeps them moist.  An Avene Cleanance soapless cleansing gel will go nicely in my travel bag for weekend getaways. An oval concealer brush for those eyebrows on fleet! Last but not least a 0.8ml rollerball perfume  from Jorel Parker, sweet and floral perfect for summer. The bag is adorable and I look forward to building a collection. Hope you enjoy your #ipsy bag as much as I do. Thanks @ipsy!
