Elizabeth Arden Beautiful Color High Gloss Nail Lacquer in Ahoy! -- This polish is from the Summer Escape 2014 summer color collection. It is a pinky coraly dark peach that screams "summer" to me. It's incredibly long wearing, and the brush makes it quick and easy to apply.
MAC Refined Golden Bronzing Powder -- The packaging is from the Alluring Aquatics collection, but the bronzer is a permanent color. It is a warm tan that looks pretty glittery in the pan, but not sparkly on the skin. It warms up my skin beautifully. I love pulling the compact out of my makeup bag (well, out of the box the that I keep in my makeup bag -- I like to pretend it's brand new every time I use it). I have to gaze at it for a bit before I use it.
L'Oreal Voluminous Butterfly Mascara (review)-- This mascara is still making my favorites list. I just noticed my new tube says "Lash Out Butterfly" on it. But the picture of the tube on the L'Oreal website says "Voluminous Butterfly." Way to confuse the consumer, L'Oreal.
Revlon Colorburst Balm Crayons -- I think I'm a bit late to the party for these. I thought they would be drying and not balm-y for some reason, but after trying Rendezvous (one of the balm stains -- it's a slightly shimmery orange) this spring, I decided I needed to try more of the different formulas offered in the line. I now own Lacquer Balms in Demure and Coquette, Balm Stains in Honey and Rendezvous, and a Matte Balm in Elusive. I'm really surprised how much I like Elusive. I'm not a matte lip person, but I'm really enjoying this one! They aren't as pepperminty as I thought they would be, either, thankfully. If you haven't tried them, you probably should. I'm just saying.

Detroit Tigers Baseball -- I am watching every game I can! My favorite announcers are Rod Allen and Mario Impemba from Fox Sports Detroit. A couple of nights ago, Rajai Davis hit a walk-off grand slam. That is why you watch the game until the last pitch.
Whoo hoo summer!
P.S. I didn't include any eye products because I've been using so many different ones, that I couldn't decide on any favorites!
