I hope you had a fantastic end to May and the new week and month are off to a fabulous start! I'm still without my usual laptop and only got in for an appointment this past Friday! Unfortunately they couldn't fix it at the Apple store and had to be sent in for repairs, but since it was nothing more than an expensive paperweight, I'm just going to have to make do without it for another week. I've been able to hop on another a little this past week to get some of this together, but it's a little trying when I had to cram as much as I can in a short time. I do have a few posts I need and want to get up this week that I've been fervently working on, so cross your fingers for me! Until then, let's get to today's post!\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/OD454QT.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"800\" data-original-width=\"800\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/OD454QT.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nIf you've been following along my blog this year, you've likely seen my monthly favorites posts. Between being overwhelmed with so many makeup launches and just not having the funds to buy them, I wanted to focus some of my attention on things that may not necessarily be the latest release. There are certain products that I find myself gravitating to, and I wanted to create this series to highlight those products. This is my collection of products I found myself really loving this past month!\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/94T5T0m.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"800\" data-original-width=\"800\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/94T5T0m.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/www.drbrandtskincare.com\/products\/clean-biotic\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003EDr. Brandt Clean Biotic\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\nI have a few friends that I occasionally exchange products with, and we often exchange makeup, skincare and hair related items that we think the other would love or to try out if we already know we can't use or won't enjoy. It's such a nice way to ease some of the product load for those with Birchbox, Ipsy, FabFitFun and the other assorted boxes out there! I don't want to add more trouble to an already problematic 2020, but there is no way I could possibly use all the skincare and makeup items I sometimes get unless I grow another 8 heads, and I know many feel the same way! I was given this particular cleanser by a friend to try out, and to be honest, I wasn't sure it would be for me. I know many swear by cleansers with a creamy texture, but I am often underwhelmed by them. In the end, I opted to give this one a go, and I actually really enjoy it!\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nWhy I love it:\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nCream cleansers rarely leave my skin feeling clean, but this one was able to accomplish just that! I don't expect a cream cleanser to remove a full face of makeup, but I do want them to leave my face feeling clean. This one is gentle on the face and doesn't strip away oils and yet my face still feels clean! It's a little more expensive than I like at $35 for a product that literally goes down the drain, but I am really enjoying this tube while I still have it!\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/bSxllN5.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"800\" data-original-width=\"800\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/bSxllN5.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/www.bernadettethompson.com\/b-nail-lacquer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003EBernadette Thompson Some Like It Hot Nail Polish\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nI had the pleasure of discovering this brand while at Cosmoprof North America \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.laughlovecontour.com\/2014\/08\/adventures-at-cosmoprof-north-america_8.html\" target=\"_blank\"\u003Esix years ago\u003C\/a\u003E, and it was such a pleasure speaking with Bernadette herself!

As much as I love to change my polish and wear a range of colours, the tomato red of Some Like It Hot really jived with me this past month. Perhaps the name played a roll in loving it as it has been getting toasty here in Arizona, but I have found myself reapplying this to both my fingers and toes throughout May, and that just never happens for me! The formula is fantastic, and I adore the satin matte finish when it dries. It's lovely with a shiny top coat, but I love it most with a matte top coat to add to the longevity.\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/avB12MJ.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"800\" data-original-width=\"800\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/avB12MJ.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/doubledowncosmetics.com\/products\/the-standard-satin-matte-blush\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003EDoubledown Cosmetics The Standard Blush\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nWhile I've generally been a fan of pressed powders when it comes to blush, I opted to pick up this loose coral one from Doubledown Cosmetics to try out. Coral is a shade I have found myself lacking in the blush department, and it's a shame as it's a colour I feel suits my skin tone the best. I'm generally drawn towards coral hues once the days heat up, and as I fan of the brand for always giving back, particularly when it comes to supporting victims of domestic violence, I knew I needed to support the brand with this shade in particular!\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\nWhy I love it:\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nLoose blush (and eyeshadows, for that matter) can be a little daunting at first, but I've been enjoying them a lot recently. I'm careful to sift out a small amount of product before swirling in my brush and tapping off the excess, and BAM! My cheeks are then draped with this glorious hue! I've had other blushes fade throughout the day, even with my setting spray routine, but this one stays in place all day for me, looking just as vibrant at the end of the day as it did with first application. It is very pigmented so you might want to start out with a small amount and then build if you want more. I have also found this blush is less forgiving if you have....ahem...crappy brushes as I found when testing out some new to me brushes recently. This is something I'm going to have to keep in mind when I am trying out new brushes in the future. This is an issue with the brushes though and not the blush. I suspect I'm going to be living in this blush all summer long!\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/tYACoPy.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"800\" data-original-width=\"800\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/tYACoPy.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/fullbrow.com\/product\/brow-fibre\/dark\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003EFull Brow Brow Fibre\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nBetween being sick and the days heating up, it has really been influencing all the products I am using from skin care to cosmetics, even to the eyebrow products. I might do the heavier \"IG\" brow look on occasion, but I've been really feeling softer, more natural eyebrows in general. I've been using Full Brow's Brow Fibre for a \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.laughlovecontour.com\/2018\/12\/get-your-brows-in-tip-top-shape-with.html\" target=\"_blank\"\u003Ecouple years now\u003C\/a\u003E and am currently on my third, if not fourth, tube!\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\nWhy I love it:\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nI use my tube of Brow Fibre regularly in addition to other brow products, but I fell in love with it as a solo product in May. I may not have anywhere to be going, but I still like a quick and easy makeup routine in the summer, and you really can't get much easier than adding a couple quick swipes of this product in your eyebrows. I don't have to spend 10 minutes putting this in my eyebrows (followed by another 10 to fix it), and it adds a little colour and depth to my eyebrows. In the areas that are a little more sparse, I let this dry and add a quick second coat for just a little more fill. You really can't get much easier than this for your eyebrows, and the result is the lovely natural look I want right now!\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/O5oYiiW.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"800\" data-original-width=\"800\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/O5oYiiW.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/monoi.com\/products\/monoi-tiki-tahiti-tiare-4-oz\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003EParfumerie Tiki Monoï Tiki Tahiti Tiare Oil\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nThis is definitely a blast to the past for me! The hubby and I went to French Polynesia for our honeymoon almost nine years ago, and I brought so many bottles of this oil home with me! Those bottles have long since been gone, and someone gifted me this one last month. As you can see, I've really been going through it since I got it!\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\nWhy I love it:\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nThis one is simple- it reminds me of my honeymoon on Tahiti and the neighboring islands! There are very few floral scents I enjoy, and Tiare, or Tahitian gardenia, is an exception. In truth I'm not sure I would actually like it if I didn't associate it with tropical weather and laid back times, but that's not really something I feel the need to delve into. The primary ingredient is coconut oil, which normally tends to dry my skin out, but there seems to be enough Vitamin E included to help balance it out. Also, because it is an oil, I apply it directly to my skin right after a shower while my skin is still damp, and that seems to be the trick that makes this work for me.

It feels like it has been forever since I have sat down and written up a blog post, and looking back at my scarce number of posts thus far this year, I'm not far off on this judgement call. This year has started out rough, including my 10+ year old laptop deciding to stop charging and working properly for me. As a result, I've had to get a new computer and start the long and daunting process of transferring files over to my new one. On top of that, which was and still is pretty painful, I have had to attempt to learn newer programs. It's a little embarrassing to admit how far behind I was when it came to updating software, so I'm just going to say it has been awhile and the learning curve has added into the delay of posting to my blog. Thus far, I've been unable to get any of my photos from the past 8 months to transfer easily and have had to manually worth through them all. I still have a lot to do, but here is hoping I can get the last of it sorted out this weekend and start February out on a more positive note. If you've been following me on Instagram, you may have seen in my stories about some skincare issues I've been having this month; needless to say, January has not been my friend! Please cross your fingers for me as I've been losing my mind and my mental health is at an all time low lately. I really try to keep things positive here on my blog, and I just don't have much left to give at this point. Now let's jump in on something pretty to help lighten the mood!\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/CiAeFKT.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"800\" data-original-width=\"800\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/CiAeFKT.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003E\n\u003Ci\u003EGifted Samples\u003C\/i\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\nLast month, when I was getting over the flu, I received a package from \u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/doubledowncosmetics.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003EDoubledown Cosmetics\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;with a few items to try out.

Founded by husband and wife team Marvin and Kristen Speller, I found myself connecting to the brand with Kristen's openness about her experience with domestic violence. Doubledown Cosmetics gives back to their local LA community to help those impacted by domestic violence, homelessness, and addiction. I love brands that give back, and this is one of many reasons I've been following the brand. I've definitely been eager to try out some products, and they did not disappoint!

The Confidence has a sifter with a slide over closure, which I greatly appreciate to keep my powder from going crazy when I have it tossed in my bag. The Concise also has a sifter. although it does not have a sliding seal.

In spite of wearing sunscreen and reapplying, I tan really easily and my skin gets a little darker during the summer. Because I got these products in the winter, I'm currently at my palest state. While The Confidence was created as a highlighter, it is too dark for my skintone to be used as one. I might be able to pull it off as a highlighter when my skin gets darker, but even then it still may be too dark for me. This is definitely not a deal breaker for me as I was all too happy to use both these shades on my eyes!\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/4Md67J1.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"800\" data-original-width=\"800\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/4Md67J1.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\nI use The Confidence on my lid and inner half of my lower lash line. The Concise is on the outer half of my lower lash line and carried out to create a wing. Even though I didn't wear these shades as they were created, I love having them paired together to create this look! I have mixed feelings on the wing, especially since I opted to keep it lower than usual due to my hooded eyes. I know this is a style recommended for us hooded guys and gals, but I'm still on the fence about how I feel about it on myself.

I do enjoy eyeliner from time to time, but it's just not my go-to when it comes to creating makeup looks). I opted to pull in a few neutral mattes from Natasha Denona's Biba palette into my crease and outer corner of my eye to add some more definition to my eyes.

I don't intentionally tan, nor do I use fake tanning products, but I'm looking forward to wearing this beauty on my face this summer when my skin is darker and more compatible with this depth of colour. Out of the loose powders I was sent (the two highlighters and the eyeshadow), I believe this one is my personal favorite. All three are gorgeous, but the more golden hue really speaks to me and what I tend to wear most often.

Sure, there are several that do work, but I've found myself lately gravitating towards individual lashes. These pro packs will be officially launching online tomorrow, but I couldn't resist the opportunity to snap up a pack and try out the brand. I opted for a set that includes short, medium, and long lashes although they are also available exclusively in one length if that is what you prefer.\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/fIJdRVg.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"800\" data-original-width=\"800\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/fIJdRVg.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/sianrichardslondon.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ESiân Richards London Brush Shampoo\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nNot to brag or anything, but I am actually pretty darn good about washing my makeup brushes every week. Normally I use a mat with some baby shampoo, and while that has always worked well for me, I figured I could treat my brushes to something a little nicer. After all, I do make them work hard for me! The original goat milk formula is supposed to be better for natural hair brushes while the vegan formula is ideal for synthetic brushes.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nAnd this concludes my haul post! There were so many things I would have loved to have purchased, but with taking photos at the event and sitting in on demonstrations and presentations, time kind of ran away from me. Not to mention it can be a little overwhelming and budget constraints force me to adult when it comes to attending events like this. My husband did kindly inform me when I got home that he was getting credit card alerts as I was making purchases (we have a joint credit card account, nothing shady going on here)....um, oops! At least he took it well and said he was happy to see a purchase come through because he knew I found something I really liked.
