Korina's July Favorites

I feel like I just posted June's favorites and I am already typing out July's!!! Geez this month flew by! Well, here are all the things I have been loving in July:











Beauty

Makeup:
1. NYX loose pigments
That's it! Money has been tight here in the Biemesderfer home (yes, that is our ridiculous last name!) So I have not been buying a lot of makeup recently. I have also been trying to give my face a break from makeup this month due to some serious breakouts. So I have not really rediscovered anything this month.
But as for these pigments: well, this is going to sound redundant but they are INCREDIBLY pigmented. A little goes a long way and your getting the most intense colors. When used with a primer, they don't go anywhere. You will have some fallout on your cheeks when applying it, but other then that they work like a dream. So it is perfect for a night out.And I mean the price is amazing. They are like $3, and pigments last forever! My only issue is the container is hard to work with. I wish the opening was a little wider so I could just dip by brush in there and not make a huge mess.


Hair:
1. Seasalt Spray
2. Batiste Dry Shampoo

Seasalt Spray- I have naturally wavy hair, but if I don't put some type of curling product in it I will have a frizzy afro on my hands. But no one wants that crunchy hair that can sometimes happen with curling products. So, I thought I would give seasalt spray a try at the end of June. It is so hot here that I wanted to give my hair a break from heat styling it. I am hooked! This stuff is amazing. I have only tried this brand because it was cheap and at Walmart, but even with how cheap it is I cannot get enough of it. I get these amazing beachy mermaid waves and some pretty great texture that gives me perfect volume. And, the biggest perk for me is the lack of frizz! I used it the other day at a BBQ and it lasted through heat from grilling, dancing and singing to Disney music, smores by the fire-pit, as well as getting squirted with a water balloon filler; basically it was put through the summertime ringer of tests. So I say that is an A+++ product for summer time!
Batiste Dry Shampoo- I have found this product to be a real life saver this month. First off, at the beginning of the month I had some wicked roots showing and no time to fix them. I have the dry shampoo with a hint of color, and it totally covered up my blonde roots until I had the time to fix them. On top of that, when I sweat the first thing to get nasty is my hair. So I just spray a little and it refreshes and gets rid of any unwanted grease/oil. With the summer being so hot here, I have been reaching for it almost everyday. Not to mention it gives you some great volume at the roots!

Accessories:
Floral Headbands- I am a total hippie at heart and I love me some headbands! So adding flowers to the mix just makes things so much better. I have been loving my floral headband from Claire's and been rocking it pretty often in the month of July!

Nail Polish:
Maybelline Color Show in Coral Crush- Simply put; the perfect coral polish! I love coral, especially for the summer, so I gravitate towards anything coral. When I saw this I had to pick it up! It is creamy, and not streaky at all. Needs more then one coat though. But what I like most, it is not too bright. So, in my opinion, it could easily look great in the fall/winter as well if your missing your dash of coral in your wardrobe!

 



Non-Beauty

TV Show:
Whodunit-Basically take a murder mystery party, add in the game show prize of money, and film it...you have Whodunit! Its a "game show" type deal but the way to win it is solve a murder mystery. One of the contestants is a actor and is the murderer. Basically it is one big game of Clue. I love it. It is super cheesy, like most murder mystery parties. I have done 2 murder mysteries in the past and this show has rekindled the love for it and now we are planning a 1920's one for the end of the summer. Love it!

Food:
Cheddar's-Dillon got a job at my favorite restaurant EVER...Cheddar's!!! I mean I cannot get enough of it and I am so glad they finally built one near us! It is Americano food like most, but it is like 10 times more delicious. And the prices are out of this world. You can go on a date, get some adult beverages of epic sizes, and an appetizer all for under $40. I mean you can barely do that at a fast food place, let alone a sit down restaurant. And it looks so nice inside. Not dirty or trashy.

Creative Outlet:
Making Shirts- Dillon and I are going on vacation in October to Disney. When we go, we are always that sickening couple with matching shirts. Every year! And this is no exception. So we have been making our annual shirts! I love them already!
