Current Favs {Aug}




Well hello August! It's been awhile since I've came at y'all with a current favs! So these are my top 5 favorite items in the last 2 months!

1. Posh Blueberry Face mask!
I have VERY sensitive skin so I was worried about this at first. Well obviously it was made for people like us! It soothes your skin while moisturizing it! Top it off it's only $18!! Try one here
I've also joined Posh so make sure and follow me on insta over at "Perfectlyposherin"



2. Colour Pop Ultra Matte Lip
Ok if you've followed me for a while you know I find my new fav lipsticks about 3 times a year... I mean sorry, I'm a woman and we change our minds! I have tulle and beeper and  and I literally wear them everyday. The color stays on forever and it feel totally weightless. The shipping charge also isn't expensive which is nice because you cant buy this brand from Ulta or Sephora
Grab you one or 10 here.



Tulle - Dusty mauve burgundy

Beeper - Warm taupe



3. Matisse Coconut Booties 
 If you follow me on West Avenue you've seen me sporting these in almost ALL the new arrivals. I LOVE THEM! Fringe is my favorite and they're SO comfy! They micro suede, cushioned insole and faux leather heel. They run true to size. You can also get 10% off when you sign up to get emails!! Mine are in color ivory, here




4. Chokers 
My inner 13 year old is excited to announce that chokers are back in style! Personally I'm not ALL about them. HOWEVER, I'm REALLY into these boho ones my girl Shelbi makes at Texas Heart Jewelry!











5. Cactus
Allcactus everything! Me and every other southern girl right now are loving cactus. I linked the two items West Ave had right now. Top and Kimono.
Also The Turquoise Rose has/had (not sure if its still avail) romper and I LOVE it. Grab it here.



With all the things I have going on I'm taking a bit of time off from blogging. I will continue to post my current favs and beauty products, and as always West A!
Happy hump day!!




Rocksbox




To catch you up on Rocksbox you can see my original post here.
Basically you pay $19 a month to "rent" designer jewelry. You do have the option to buy at a discounted price, not to mention they also give you $10 to spend!! You fill out a survey and you get to create a wish list.

I was pretty excited over the earrings this month, HELLUR they're PINK!! I'm always excited to get a Kendra Scott piece as well! The bracelet by Perry Street I basically wore ALL of vacation!!

Dupe or dud??




Ok, spoiler alert. 

NOT A DUPE.

However, you may want to keep reading because even though in my opinion, Elf mascara is NOT a duplicate for It Cosmetics. I still have lots of great things to say about both products!



I've been using It Cosmetics mascara for getting close to a year now. If you've followed me awhile you know my lashes are very short due to a bad lash extension job years ago! It Cosmetics gives my lashes the volume and length that I need. However I'm more than aware that $25 isn't in everyone's budget for mascara, which is why I became VERY excited over my (what I thought) was my Elf dupe find!

They have similar brush, but the elf brush is smaller and thinner which makes sense that it doesn't give your lashes as my volume! The pro is the length! It gave my lashes JUST as much length as the It! I know some of my friends have thick lashes but need volume. If that's the case for you go grab a tube of this $3 mascara!

I personally like to use both of them for maximum strength mascara ;)

Bottom Line.

I wouldn't say its a dud but most def not a dupe.

Happy Hask Hair




Just in case you didn't read my last Hask Hair post (here) I have a mild obsession with it!! I was super excited for them to send me another part of the bamboo oil series the strengthening line! I REALLY needed this!! Just like the previous one I tried it lathered SO well! It doesn't have a super amazing smell, but that's really the only con for me on this entire line! The shampoo and conditioner are about $6 each. Then the oil and deep conditioner are around $4 each! I use this line almost every single time I shampoo my hair!
See full products here which will also take you to the Ulta site where I personally would purchase them, because WHO doesn't want Ulta points?! 



Now on to the info some people may want to know ;)
