As the month of July is nearly ending and school will soon be in session, I thought it would be nice to share some of the products I've been loving lately. Some beauty and some miscellaneous. NYX HD creamy conceale r I recently purchased this concealer and I've been in love ever since. It's creamy, as the name suggests but isn't heavy on the face. It has medium to full coverage and I appreciate the price point.   Revlon Color Burst lip butter in juicy papaya This has been my favorite lip product this month since its the perfect shade for summer.

I'm always looking for ways to improve my makeup game, and one of the things I do most is try out hacks I find online. With the Internet full of  diys and tips to help with your makeup, there's no excuse for not getting the most out of your makeup on the daily. There's a hack for everything out there! Out of the many that have exited me but immediately disappointed me when put to the test, only one has really surprised me and stayed in my routine. 
And it's no surprise, since Aunt Jackie (@jackieaina) put me on it and I trust her with my LIFE. Jackie Aina  is a Nigerian-American YouTube  star and Makeup Artist .
