Hi friends, hope you've had a wonderful summer, in my book it's not officially
over until the first day of fall. We're still embracing beautiful weather, al fresco
dining, and soaking up every last bit of summer activities. It's time for another
edition of My Five Favorites, this month we're dishing on Beauty/Fashion.
I love finding tried and true, new to me products and can't wait to see what my
blogging pals are sharing today!

I've known this month's guest, Cindy @ Rough Luxe Lifestyle, for several years she
is the BIGGEST sweetheart, and classy and cute as can be. She's one of those people
that's true to her own style, be it fashion or interior design, and has a great eye for pulling
together the prettiest combinations. You'll love checking out her current outfit inspiration,
home and garden, or her latest meal and table setting when she's entertaining (like the one
at her home below) ~ she's always an inspiration!
Here are my favs:
#1 Makeup
Depending on the product sometimes I spend more, but generally I'm a drug store makeup
girl. I've used both of these forever - Revlon Photoready Airbrush Foundation
& L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara
The foundation gives nice coverage but doesn't feel too heavy, and the mascara makes
my lashes look long and full, doesn't clump ~ pretty simple requirements.
I noticed this cute blogger and this one, both recommended the same mascara recently.
#2 Makeup Remover
I remember reading about Pure Jojoba oil on a blog or Pinterest about a year ago and thought
I'd give it a try. I've ditched all the other makeup removers I had, and it's now my go to.
It easily removes my favorite mascara and feels so hydrating. And, it washes out of my
white washcloths nicely. I buy it at our local natural foods market.
#3 Facial Scrub
My friend brought this Andalou Lemon Sugar Facial Scrub to my Favorite Things Christmas
Party last year. Aren't recommendations from friends the best?! I keep it in the shower, it's
a nice exfoliate that's gentle enough to use a couple times a week, and has a light lemon
scent. I buy mine at our local natural foods market, Sprouts.
#4 Body Lotion
I hate to mention it, but dry winter skin will be here before we know it. :(
My dermatologist recommended AmLactin Body Lotion years ago, it's not heavy or greasy,
the alpha-hydroxy acid exfoliates and leaves my skin feeling so much better during our
our dry Colorado winters, and it's available at Costco.

#5 Hair Conditioner
A few years ago I was out of town visiting a friend and had forgotten my conditioner,
I asked if she had some I could borrow, she introduced me to it's a 10.
It's a leave in conditioner that gets amazing reviews all across the board. There are
several varieties so check which works for your hair type - I like the extra nourishing
ingredients in this one since I have thick natural curly, color treated hair.
I like the convenient spray, and a little goes a long way.
Bonus!
I received these Every Drop Makeup Spatulas last year at my Favorite Things Christmas Party.
They're the best! It's crazy how much product is left in the container, the long handle can
reach all size moisturizer and makeup bottles. The smaller spatula is perfect for lipstick and
gloss. I love to tie them onto girlfriend gifts. These are from The Container Store, but I've
seen similar at Target & Bed, Bath & Beyond.
