Summer Collective Beauty Haul

It's summer time!  For some reason, this summer, I haven't been into beauty products.  Instead, I'm obsessed with clothes!  Anyway, on to the haul...

I've already started using most of them, so I can give a mini review of each one.  

First of all, I am loving the e.l.f. lash curler so much.  It's no longer $1.  They raised the price to$1.08 at Target, but I think it's still just a dollar on the e.l.f. website.  The reason why I like this so much is because the curler is pretty flat and it works better for my Asian eyes better than other curlers.  

The NYX radiant finishing powder in brighten  is very pretty on the skin.  It gives a nice settle glow, which is what I prefer rather than sparkly glitter.  I've been wanting to buy this same exact thing from Bobbi Brown until I found this one!  I just got this the other day at Ulta for 40% off and with a 20% off coupon for $4.31!

The Milani multitasker face powder in 02 light medium is from Walmart for only $6.  For its price, it's an amazing powder!  I especially love how yellow the color is.  I only ended up buying this because of how yellow the color was, but I ended up really liking it.  There's a pretty floral and lace detail on the powder itself, but you can't see it in my picture below because I have already started using it.  

I think I found a new favorite face sunscreen!  I've been using the Shiseido one for about 2 years, but finally decided to try a new one.  I was scared to try a new sunscreen because some of them break me out.  This La Roche-Posay spf60 face sunscreen doesn't break me out, doesn't leave a white film, and is not greasy.  It's $30 at Ulta for 1.7 fl oz.  

Maybelline's waterproof great lash mascara in brownish black is just classic.  This brings back the memories from middle school.  I like this mascara, but I don't love it to the point where this is the only mascara I ever want to use, but but but I still recommend it!  Give it a try if you haven't!

Oh my goodness!!  The NYX butter lip balm is something I would highly recommend to people who want to wear color, but don't want to accentuate those dry flaky lips.  It has high pigmentation, at least more than I was expecting.  I got it in the color ladyfingers and it's a nice everyday lip color.

At the Victoria's Secret's semi annual sale, I purchased another one of these sweet pout intense color gloss in the color raspberry chic.  This definitely doesn't last long.  It only stays on the lips for about an hour or two, but it's still a beautiful color and consistency.  It's not sticky like their regular lip glosses.  I hate their regular tube lip glosses because they're so sticky and some of them smell bad too.  This sweet pout intense color gloss is super pigmented too.

This Physician's formula oh so radiant powder with spf20 in translucent is also from Ulta for 40% off and with 20% off coupon for $6.71.  I wiped off the glitter layer on top before using it because I don't like glitter highlighters.  Once I wiped off the glitter layer, the powder isn't glittery at all.  I think it gives a nice satin finish.  I've only worn this once for about an hour, so I don't know exactly how it wears overtime.  But, so far so good!  Btw, the brush is horrible!  I tried using it, but it sheds like crazy!

Okay, I saved the most exciting product for last!  It is the Illumask!!!  I haven't started using it yet, but I'm absolutely thrilled to try it out!  It's supposed to help reduce acne and prevent from getting acne with blue and red lights.  How cool is that?!  I will definitely do a review on this.  In the box, it comes with the plastic mask, controller with batteries, and a instruction booklet.  The mask looks really cool! Hoping for better skin with this $30 light therapy mask.  >:)
