3 Things I'm Liking in August

I don't do a lot of shopping, so I don't expect you'll see me doing a "haul" or any sort of shopping spree on a regular basis.  I do occasionally find products that I end up liking alot. Lately I've been really enjoying some beauty finds..... so here are 3 products that I'm currently liking:

 1)  Stila Stay All Day Foundation & Concealer  I had never tried any foundation from Stila before, but last time I was at Sephora, one of my favorite beauty consultants there did the Color IQ matching on me, and this foundation in 4, Beige was on the list.  She applied some on my face at the store, and the color was a good match.  I'm sometimes weary of trying new foundations because you get them home and they look completely different on your face, but I'm still liking this one.  It comes with concealer on the lid which is handy and goes perfectly with the foundation.  It also comes with a brush, but I haven't actually used it yet.  It has buildable coverage, is oil free,  and it lasted all (work) day on my face.

2) benefit the Porefessional  Also got this at Sephora. It's a great face primer that feels nice and creamy and does seem to reduce the appearance of pores on my face. I'm not sure if I'm just weird, but it seems to smell nice as well.

3) Bare Minerals Purely Nourished Moisturizer with RareMinerals ActiveSoil Complex for combination skin (they also make one for normal to dry skin which I have never tried) .  Also bought this at Sephora, but Bare Escentuals has it as well, of course.  I was looking for a non-greasy every night moisturizer and this fits the bill.  It feels great on my skin and is lightweight. It's $28.00 at Sephora, which considering the cost of some of the other moisturizers they have, is a pretty good price.  What I like is some of the things it doesn't have:  no sulfates, no Parabens, no synthetic Fragrances or dyes, no Petrochemicals or Phthalates, no GMOs or Tricolosan.  I don't have to use a lot of this each time, so it last a while.  The only thing, is that it doesn't have sunscreen and not all of my foundations have it, so I use it nightly, but not during the day.  I did see on the Sephora website that there is a bareMinerals Advanced Protection SPF 20 moisturizer available. May have to give that one a try soon, for daytime use.
