My August Beauty Favorites

08/31/17 | Beauty, Sephora

Sparkles and Shoes My August Beauty Favorites

Three products blew me away this month and I wanted to share on the last day of August before we get to my favorite month of the year.  I don’t have nearly as many top picks as my ten finds of July round up but those included some home decor as well! The first of my August beauty favorites is an amazing illuminator.  I got the COVER FX Custom Enhancer Drops in Moonlight,which according to the description on the Sephora website imparts a soft, silver glow, with 100 reward points on a recent trip.  The normal size will set you back $42 but a little goes a long way with this stuff or follow my lead and cash in those Sephora points for your very own sample – mine will last at least through the end of 2017! 

The second is the Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer Medium to Tan Skin Tones that I picked up earlier this month on my latest Target run.  This is a dupe for the Jergens Natural Glow Firming Moisturizer and I find it highly effective – it works as well as the name brand but without the bad smell and retails for less money, a true win-win. 

I left the craziest for last because it might be a bit out there but the Shiseido Facial Cotton was a splurge but one that was totally worth it.  For the price of a glass of wine in NYC ($10) I bought these extremely soft no gentle facial cloths at a few months ago and they sat on the shelf until I ripped open the package in July and started using them. Now that I am nearly two-thirds of the way through the pack of 165 sheets I am convinced – there is no better product to apply toner or facial creams, these are amazing!  Take a look at my three favorites:

To recap, my August top three beauty products are the COVER FX Custom Enhancer Drops in Moonlight available at Sephora, the Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer Medium to Tan Skin Tones from Target, and the Shiseido Facial Cotton available at Amazon or Sephora!

    I will have to get some of the cover fix. I sure could use it.

    Is the self tanning easy to apply? I hate it when it is streaky and I end up looking like a brown zebra.
