Beauty Trove's Top 5 for June 2017

It's time again for monthly favorites!  I have a little bit of everything this month, most of the products I've been loving this month are pretty affordable.  If you want to know more about Beauty Trove's Top 5 for June 2017, keep reading.


1.  No7 Lift & Luminate Foundation ($15.99).  I first heard of this foundation through favorite reviews of KathleenLights and JamBeauty89.  There is a reason why this foundation was a favorite of two top beauty vloggers.  First, for a drug-store foundation, there are a number of great shades.  I think if this product is talked about more, No7 will consider expanding is color range.  This is a medium coverage foundation and it applies smoothly.  I really love this foundation even compared to some higher end ones.  It gives you an air-brushed appearance and it wears nicely throughout the day.  On my skin, it starts to break down after 10 hours of wear.  The foundation gives a fantastic dewy appearance that doesn't like like you are completely dripping...just a nice glow.  I would wait to get the foundation when you see a price reduction.  Typically, Ulta has a BOGO 50% off on No7 items every few weeks.  Otherwise, Target recently had a 10% off and Walgreens also has specials on No7 products.  I am almost finished with my first bottle of No7 lift & luminate so you know that this is something special.

2.  Wet n Wild MegaSlim Skinny Mascara ($4.99).  I've been on the hunt to find a cheaper replacement for the Clinquie bottom lash, and I have finally found one.  This mascara is fantastic for your bottom lashes.  The wand is skinny enough to get close to the lash line and it only requires one swipe because of the length of the wand.  This really gives you a lot of bang for your buck.  If you get this from the Wet n Wild site, they will give you 10% off your first order.  

3.  Laura Geller Blush-n-Brighten in Pink Buttercream ($28.00).  I picked this little beauty up in Ulta's 21 days of Beauty for 50% off.  I am so glad I did.  This is the perfect pink blush to give your cheeks a flush of color.  When I look at this blush on the skin, it looks like summer.  This is a very lovely shade that completes fair to medium skin tones perfectly.  If you purchase this from the Laura Geller site, you can get $5 off your first order.

4.  ColourPop Super Shock Shadow in Cheap Date ($5.00).  I've been trying to use my ColourPop shadows more recently.  I started using Cheap Date at least once a week.  This is an incredible gold shadow with hints of silver.  It actually looks like melted gold!  I absolutely love it.  I apply the shadow on my lid with my ring finger so it really packs the color on.  

5.  Bath and Body Works Fiji Pineapple Palm Ultra Shea Body Cream ($3.25).  OMG this cream smells amazing.  I am a huge fan of Bath Body Works' Body Creams.  This is the perfect cream for the summer.  I love applying this on my arms and legs before I start my day.  Fiji is the perfect combination of pineapple and coconut.  I picked up another bottle recently at Bath and Body Works semi-annual sale.  I am also thinking of purchasing the shower gel and the body spray.  At $3.25 this body cream won't stay around long, be sure to check it out!

Beauty Trove's Top 5 Picks for February 2017!

Just a few more months and we will be in Spring!  To celebrate the end of February, check out Beauty Trove's Top 5 Cosmetics I have been loving this month.

1.  Bath & Body Works Sleep Lavender Chamomile Cream ($15.00).  This B&BW cream was previously featured on an empties vlog by Coffee Break with Dani.  I purchased mine at the semi-annual sale and have been using it nonstop in February.  It is one of the more expensive items at B&BW but it is well worth the price.  Also, you can stock up on the cream and lotion line during one of their sales.  Just this past month the aromatherapy lines were on sale for 50% off.  I found the cream to be very hydrating and relaxing.  The best use for the cream is after a shower when you are getting ready for bed.  By doing this consistently after taking a shower at night, I associate the smell with sleep and it does relax me.

2.  Fiona Stiles Multidimensional Color Palette ($39).  This Ulta exclusive is extremely versatile, effortless, and gorgeous. The palette comes with 6 elegant shades of highlighters (2), universal bronzer (1), and blushes (3).   The universal bronzer may not be for darker skin tones.  However, the two highlighters are great for a natural lit from within look.  My favorite is the first highlighter in the palette.  All three blushes are fantastic.  The fist blush looks very intense, but with a light hand it applies sheer and provides just the right amount of color for a "I just came back from a brisk walk in the cold" look.  I really love combining the last two blush shades together.  Absolutely beautiful!

3.  Tarte ManEater Palette ($29).  If you have not purchased your ManEater Palette, do so now!  This is a limited edition palette and is now only available through the tarte website (was previously at Ulta).  This will be your everyday favorite palette.  The ManEater palette has a cute leopard print cover, sizable mirror, and 8 buttery eye shadows.  There is a large brow bone highlighter and 7 smaller pan, neutral eye shadows.  My favorite color hands down is saucy.  It is a great transition color, eyeliner, and crease color.  This palette works great for both day and night looks.  The ManEater palette along with the Fiona Stiles Multidimensional color palette has been my go to look for the past month.  Seriously, you won't regret buying this.

4.  Juvia's Place The Saharan Palette ($28).  Staying with the eye shadow theme...just look at these colors.  I love Juvia's Place eye shadow formula.  It is very creamy and blends well.  The colors are absolutely stunning.  My favorites in the palette are Woaddbe, Iman, and Jamila.  This palette launched in January but I have enjoyed wearing these colors on the weekends in February.  There is an option to bundle the palette with the Saharan gel eyeliners.  I haven't tried the gel eyeliners but they are all sold out, so I think that is saying something.  Before purchasing the Saharan Palette, do some online searches for a promo code.  There is usually one available to get 2-3 dollars off.

5.  Too Faced Melted Lipstick in Chihuahua ($21).  This is one of the new colors in the melted line.  It is a fantastic shade of neutral rose pink.  The melted formula is very hydrating and applies smooth.  I love this color.  It goes great with neutral and pops of color looks.  I've been wearing this with the ManEater palette, Fiona Stiles palette, and Saharan palette.
