Here is my July Haul! Sorry this is later than it usually is. The explanation is down below. I've also included some of my opinions on the items since I've had some time to use them.
From MAC:
(left to right)
Fire Sign (lustre), Ruffian Red (matte), Ruffian Gold (frost), and Cut a Caper (lustre)
The reason this post is so late is because I was planning to do lip swatches for all of the lipsticks pictured above. However, I decided to return all but Cut a Caper.
Fire Sign is a mix between a red and a berry with a hint of pink in my opinion. It's pretty, but I just don't like it on me. Ruffian Red was too bright for a newbie red lipstick girl. Ruffian Gold wasn't as spectacular as I was expecting. You can get the same look with a glittery lip gloss.

I've heard mixed reviews on Cut a Caper. Some people love it, while others think its mediocre. At first, I was not a fan. I think it's mainly due to the fact that this was my first lustre finish lipstick to purchase. When I first applied it, my lips looked like there was no lipstick on. However, after reapplying some more a few hours later, I learned that you need to build it up! Once I figured out how to wear it, I have been loving it!! It's a very natural looking pinky-coral on me. The tube looks ORANGE, however not so much in the picture.
From Sallys Beauty Supply:
Beyond the Zone Rock On Dry Shampoo, Ion Finishing Solutions Shaping Plus, Beyond the Zone Rock On Dry Shampoo, and Teaze by Phillips Brush
I've repurchased Beyond the Zone Rock on Dry Shampoo a few times throughout this year. I don't know what I did before I discovered dry shampoo. This doesn't leave you hair looking gray or white.
When you renew the Sallys card, you get to pick from 2-3 choices of things to get free (up to $7.00). I picked the Ion Finishing Solutions Shaping Plus. This is a hair spray / finishing spray. This cost around $6.00 with the Sally's discount. That's the most I've ever spend on a hair spray. So far, I like it. It doesn't leave your hair too hard.
I've used teasing combs in the past, but I've heard teasing brushes are better. After watching a few hair tutorials on YouTube, I decided to buy one of my own. I think it works pretty good. It teases my hair and gives me some lift. My tease stays for longer than it did with a teasing comb.
What did you buy in the month of July?
XOXO
