Love Letters and Lace

Happy August everyone! Here's what I loved this month! There isn't much, since I've mostly been using the same things I loved from June, but there are a few new things! Enjoyyy! MAKEUP:  Maybelline 'The Colossal Volum Express' mascara This mascara is wonderful. I picked it up after not having used it in a while, after I ran out of my Too Faced 'Better Than Sex' mascara so it had some big shoes to fill, but I honestly have grown to love this one so much. Its not the most volumizing of mascaras that I've used, but it really lengthens your lashes in a way that looks very natural, almost to the point that you look like your wearing false lashes. Its so great! Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm in 'Elusive' This is my go-to lip colour when I'm going out in the summer. Its so cute and summery, I honestly love wearing it. The lasting power is surprisingly long and even though its matte, it doesn't cling to any creases or dry patches on your l

 I picked up this lip butter when I had taken a trip to the drugstore looking for a nice orange lipstick. I've currently been lusting over MAC's "Morange", but i decided against buying it the last time I was at a MAC counter since I didn't want to spend too much money! Anyway, I saw this in the colour "Tutti Frutti" and I decided to give it a try. I'll be honest, initially I was quite disappointed with this product. Although it is a lip butter, when I swatted it, it came out quite bright and pigmented. On my lips however, it came out quite sheer and only gave the slightest hint of colour. Also, if your lips are just the slightest bit dry, it just settles into the cracks and makes it look more obvious. Once I got past these inconveniences, I can say that for a lip butter, this product isn't too bad. It feels nice on the lips and the sheer hint of colour is nice for days when you want a more subtle lip. I probably wouldn't repurchase
