Rue's Awards--July 2013 Beauty Loves

Here are my beauty loves for the month of July. 

Makeup Loves:

I only have one makeup favorite this month. I am still loving the things from June. If you haven't checked it out take a look: http://ruesbeautyworld.blogspot.com/2013/07/rues-awards-june-2013-beauty.html

For the summer, I have fallen in love with the tinted lip balms with more tint (like the Revlon Lip Butters). If you have been following my blog, you know in my makeup collections I have every few lip products. I hate the texture of lip stick, not a big fan of gloss either, but I absolutely love lip balms. I have more several of those. Last year when this craze started with the tinted lip balms like the Revlon Lip Butters, which I do not own, but hopefully will soon, I didn't not buy any because at that point I wasn't really into lip products, but this summer, I am calling it the summer of the lip product. I have added many lip products to my collection. (yes, I am doing an updated Makeup collection soon. Lip Products is going to be the first.)

Now, my favorite at this moment is the Milani HD Adnvance LIp Color. I found these at Dollar Tree for only 1 dollar. I have picked up every color I could find there. I haven't heard much about these on YouTube, but I personally love them.

Above are the ones I own of this collection. To the right is the lip product I have been grabbing most of the summer.

I highly suggest if you come across these, try them. I am unsure where else you can pick them up besides the Dollar Tree. I haven't seen them anywhere else that carry Milani. I am not sure if they are being discontinued or what. I know that the Dollar Trees that are close to me still have them. I just recently (in  the past two weeks) bought one. 

Nail Loves:

I recently ran out of my Nicole by OPI quick drying drops, which was a sad day. I loved them so much, but I didn't want to spend that much on quick drying drops. I found them originally on sale at Target, the whole reason I bought them in the first place. I was looking around at Walmart and I found these quick drying spray from Onyx. I believe it was around 3 dollars. I picked it up to see how I liked it. 

Yes, I do still love my quick drying drops, but I love this as well. Anything that makes my manicure dry quicker is a life saver for me. The spray from is better than the drops considering sometimes I am doing a manicure with a 2 year old running around. The spray is more convenient for me. Yes, the spray takes a little longer to dry, but not much longer. I have found if you spray it after each coat it works better. 

My Beauty Secrets Pure Acetone with a small lining brush has become my favorite way to clean up my manicure. I have had this for a while, but after the first time using it my cap messed up, and it had a child safety cap on it. I don't know what happened, but my cousin who is a football player couldn't get it off. I was going to throw it away and just buy a new one, but one day, I decided to work on getting the cap off. So I took a knife and pride it off. I do not suggest it because you can get injured. I ended up chipping the lid off. Now, I love it. I have used almost half of the bottle.


Wet n Wild Wild Shine.

Teal Slowly and See
Red Red
Dreamy Poppy 

This is my rediscovered love of the month. Wet n Wild Wild Shine was the first polish I ever owned from Wet n Wild, but I had forgotten about these polish. The ones I had in my collection were getting old, and I had stopped using these. This month, I bought these three, and I don't know why I don't have more from the Wild Shine collection, and the best part they are only 99 cents, which you can normally find cheaper at the drug stores normally for 69 cents. They have them on sale it seems like all the time.

Also this is new this month, but I am including my favorite nail polish colors from the month. This is different from the look favorites. I am not have not liked the look, but loves the color. Also I painted my nails with out doing anything special with them, so this month my two nail polish colors are:

Rue's Life:

• I am praying that I will soon get a car. It's been over two months since my car broke down, and it sucks not having one. I am calling about one tomorrow. 
• Looking forward to the fall. I have started pulling out fall nail polishes, and can't wait to start wearing dark polishes again, but I am not looking forward to putting up the bright lip colors. Can I wear them into the fall too?

Peaceful and Happy Thoughts, 

--Rue.
