Life is Short. Buy the Makeup.

It has been quite some time since I have done a Monthly Favorites, but I have finally found a few new products that have been AMAZING for me this past month. With the exception of one, every product is vegan.  Some of these products will come as no surprise if you follow me on Instagram ( @justineolson93 ), and some are re-discovered old favorites. Let's get started!

March was a pretty basic month in terms of makeup. I didn't wear much and the products I did wear are very natural and would be perfect for everyone! Everything but the Tata Harper highlighter is Vegan. For those that like minimal makeup, you're going to love these products!  Let's get started!

The end of January is here, you know what that means....Fifty Shades Darker is 2 weeks away! Just kidding, though I will be seeing it when it releases. This month's favorites feature a few new products and some old favorites. All products mentioned are Cruelty-Free, Vegan, and all but one are non-toxic. Let's get started!

Fall Favorites Instead of the typical Monthly Favorites, I gathered up the products I have been reaching for over and over the last few months. All of the products you see here are free of harmful ingredients and are Cruelty-Free. With the exception of the Bite Beauty lip product I will be mentioning, every product is also Vegan. Let's get in to my Fall Favorites!

July Beauty Favorites | Cruelty-Free The month of July has come and gone, and as fast as Summer arrived---it's quickly dwindling down. This month's favorites are my everyday staples. Every product on this list with the exception of the Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Lipstick is Vegan. As usual, all of my favorites are Cruelty-Free.  Let's get in to my July Favorites!

May Beauty Favorites A quick monthly favorites today. Spring is on it's way out and Summer is on it's way! June is usually my favorite month of the year, sunshine---low humidity---and time outside. This month's favorite's are all Cruelty-Free, and are perfect for the upcoming hot weather! Now and in future posts, I'll be including whether a product is Cruelty-Free (CF) or Vegan (V). Let's get into my May Beauty Favorites!

April Beauty Favorites I can't tell you how crazy of a month April has been! I'm glad the month is over, as I will be in Boston at the beginning of May, and if you'd like to check out some pictures from my trip, head over to Instagram (@justineolson93), I am always posting there about future blog posts. Every one of these favorites are cruelty free! Let's get into it!

March Beauty Favorites This past month has been dedicated to using products that will help rid my face of acne. Every single one of these products have been my staple and go-to every single day to ensure my makeup stays on all day, and my skin stays relatively acne free. Coincidentally, all of these favorites are cruelty free! Let's get into my March Beauty Favorites!

January 2016 Beauty Favorites The first month of the new year is already gone, and this month has been rough for my skin. Word of advise, don't consume too much sugar, what you eat directly affects your skin.  With that in mind, here are some favorites for the month of January. The majority are new products, but I will link all of my reviews to each product below. Let's get started!

November Beauty Favorites Now that the crazy long Thanksgiving Holiday is past us, it's time to get in to the Monthly Favorites! I have several new items I have been loving to use this month, not just makeup but a few skincare items too. I hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday! Let's get in to my November Favorites!

October Beauty Favorites Firstly, Happy Halloween! I hope you all are enjoying this festive holiday and are having a safe time trick-or-treating or partying it up! I have a fairly short monthly favorites for you guys this month. I skipped September Favorites, I honestly didn't have anything new or loves, it was a boring month for makeup. October is great time for makeup, all the new Holiday Collections have arrived, bringing me so much joy and my wallet a little lighter. Here's what I've been loving for October!

July Beauty Favorites The month of July is coming to a close, that is not possible, I still remember it just being the 4th of July! I have just a few products I have been loving this month, I'm still working on using up some products, which you guys will see soon in my Product Empties + Mini Reviews. I hope you guys are having a wonderful summer! I will be taking a trip to Chicago next week, so also look forward to a Chicago Beauty Haul very soon! Let's get in to the favorites!

June 2015 Beauty Favorites The Summer is already half over and with the weather being as cold as it's been, Summer still feels like months away! The makeup I have been loving this past month have really helped add that extra glow to my skin. I have also been in love with a bright pink lip, so I have a few favorite lip colors to show you! And as always, all of these products are paraben-free! So let's get in to my favorites for the month of June!

March Makeup & Beauty Favorites So March has come and gone already, that means one thing for me, one month left till I graduate college! My mom keeps saying I have been waiting for this day since kindergarden, she could not be any more correct. I did not wear a lot of makeup this month. My focus this month was to get rid of the gross amount of acne that popped up on my face due to the Tarte Maracuja Oil I tried out, full review HERE. Most of my favorites this month were new products, so you will definitely be able to find these products in-store, some you will have to find online. So let's get started!
