June Favorites

June Favorites
A round-up of my favorite products in June:


1. Andalou Naturals Brightening Pumpkin Honey Glycolic Mask
2.  Josie Maran's 100% Argan Oil (I received a tiny bottle as a free sample at Sephora ages ago and have just started using it with conditioner a few times a week.  LOVE.  Will definitely be searching out a far more economical alternative when it runs out)
3. Sally Hansen Dries Instantly Top Coat
4.  Becca Cosmetics Eye Tint in Baroque
5.  OPI Nail Lacquer in Barefoot in Barcelona (Picked this up today for R's wedding this weekend.  A gorgeous neutral muted pinky-brown).

Review: Becca Cosmetics Eye Tint in Baroque

I bought this tube of eye tint from Urban Outfitters ages ago, and it has become a staple of my day to day beauty routine.  Baroque a beautiful pinky-beige color and a little bit truly goes a long way.  


Pros:

  • waterproof/sweat-proof, thus perfect for summer
  • plays well with powder shadow  (I've found some cream-based shadows don't)
  • a bit of a glossy sheen to the finish
Cons:
  • sometimes, when I squirt it out of the tube to apply, it's a bit watery. 

Here's what it looks like alone...

though I usually add a bit of the darker shade of NARS Kalahari in the outer crease to add a bit of depth:
 
Ruling: Love. Will absolutely repurchase.
