November 2017 Beauty Favorites

November 2017 Beauty Favorites

It's that time of the month again and I'm excited to share with you what I have been loving all November long! My favorites will be shorter and more to the point, instead of how long they normally are. If you want to read a more detailed review about a product I will have those linked (below under each product will say "review") or those reviews will be coming to my blog soon! 
Face:

What I have been going for in my face makeup has been moisturized skin and a matte finish. I still love having an intense highlight, but I've been bronzing less, contouring more, and using more of a glow highlight than shimmer. 

* Farsali Unicorn Essence 
I've been using these with about every look I've created this past month. I love the natural glow this gives to my skin. 

 *Too Faced Primed & Peachy
I'm still trying this primer out, but so far I love the cooling aspect of it. I also love how matte it makes my skin look, yet it doesn't dry my face out. 

 *Too Faced Peach Perfect Comfort Matte Foundation 
This is their new matte foundation and let me tell you, it is matte! I really enjoy the finish.

 *Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Palette 
I mentioned above that I've been bronzing less and contouring more, but I've also have been reaching for a face palette like this to set my makeup in some places instead of reaching for an actual setting powder. I use the shade Banana under my eyes to brighten them up a little on some days. For most days, I use Fawn to contour with, Vanilla to set my t-zone and under eyes, and Sand to add a natural glow to the high-points of my face.

 *Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush 
I absolutely love these blushes, but I've been reaching for the shade Concept all month long. I love how natural this blush looks, while still making my cheeks rosy. 
(I'm not sure if this was limited-edition, but I can not find this blush! Bummer.)

 *XO Beauty Highlighting Powder 
I have the shade Aurora and this is the perfect natural glow highlight. This can be more intense with a  little Mac Fix + on your brush, but also builds up nicely.  Reviewed

 *It! Cosmetics Chic Powder Brush 
This brush has been my go-to powder brush ever since purchasing it! It is literally the softest brush I've ever felt! It applies my powder well and is a brush every makeup lover needs to try! 

 *XO Beauty Vegan Shimmer Tulip
This is the next brush that has been a favorite of mine for months now. This brush is the perfect size for applying highlighter. It is soft also, and applies the highlight evenly, while keeping the pigment there! 
(this came from a limited-edition vegan set, but I linked the shimmer tulip brush from her regular line)






Eyes:

I've been wearing dramatic eyes and nude lips more than anything this past month and I also discovered two new mascaras that I love! 

*Anastasia Beverly Hills Subculture Palette 
I love these colors for fall. I was obsessed with the Modern Renaissance palette all October, but this month I've been reaching for this palette. I love the more cool-tone eye looks I've been creating with this. 
Reviewed 

 *Tarte Buried Treasure Palette 
I bought this the very beginning of November and loved it right from the swatches to using it more through-out the month. The shades in this are gorgeous and more warm-toned so it's balanced out my love for cool-tone looks. This palette is on sale right now!

 *Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes Mascara
I've always heard great reviews on this, but never tried it because the wand wasn't one I normally liked to use. I was pleasantly surprised that I love this mascara.

 *Maybelline Lash Sensational Full Fan Effect
I tried a curled wand mascara a couple months back and hated the wand. It made me not want to purchase this even though this has great reviews. I actually got this for free with an Ulta order and it sat in the "new" drawer for quite some time. After finally using it I like it and think it's a really good drugstore mascara. 

Lips:

Yes, I've done more pink and nudes this month once again, but I have used a few other bold shades that I've fallen in love with! You can probably see that a few of these are a repeat from last month. I love them that much! I've used so much Baby Lips to keep my lips from drying out with this cold weather hitting us. Other brands I've been loving are a couple shades from my Kiss Me subscription, a creme lipstick from XO Beauty, a variety of Tarte lip products, and the same shade from Huda Beauty that I mentioned last month.

Tarte [Make Believe in Yourself] Mystical Dreamy Blues Tutorial

 Tarte [Make Believe in Yourself] Mystical Dreamy Blues Tutorial  I recently did a review the Tarte Make Believe in Yourself   eyeshadow palette. In that review I shared some looks that I created with it and will be sharing each of those tutorials with you. First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream. I started this look by prepping my skin with First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream. I used this because my skin was so dry! I followed that up with Physicians Formula Primer Argan Wear (with coconut and argan oil). I used that as my primer today.  I also used some color corrector concealer from the brand Aurora in the shade Pistachio. This is a new favorite of mine! I love how well it covers up any redness or blemishes. This was mentioned in my last Ipsy blog (I'll link below).  Physicians Formula Primer Argan Wear Aurora Pro Color Corrector (Pistachio).  EOS lip balm I moisturized my lips with some  EOS lip balm and ...

Makeup Monday // JSC Jawbreaker + Mini Breaker

Makeup Monday // JSC Jawbreaker + Mini Breaker I wasn't sure if I'd bring palettes back to my blog or not since they're discussed so much on my channel , but for sake of a pretty photo-op moment, I'm doing this. Ha!  I'm usually over the moon for every Jeffree Star Cosmetics launch and this one wasn't any different. I feel like only Jeffree could make a palette this full of insane colors and get away with it. With that being said when opening the Jawbreaker palette I can honestly say I did feel a little overwhelmed which is weird because I'm not one to shy away from color. I think it can still be challenging finding the right shades to put together to complement each other, but I can say once you dip into the shades that feeling goes away quickly. It's not as intimidating as you think it is. I created four colorful while still bring wearable looks with the Jawbreaker and had fun each day picking the palette up. I love being excited to do ...

Skincare Reviews // Coola, Vasanti, Clinique, Avatara, & I Dew Care

Skincare Reviews // Coola, Vasanti, Clinique, Avatara, & I Dew Care Coola Sport White Tea Moisturizer SPF 50   $32 I took this gem with me on vacation and it did amazing! With an SPF 50 I didn’t have to worry about getting my face burnt. Who wants dry, red, and peeling skin when you have videos to film and blogs to get done? Not me! I took my skincare very seriously and this item made it super easy! Although, this has SPF is was just a moisturizer. It also felt just like a moisturizer, not oily, greasy, or film-like at all! It sank right into my skin and kept me protected. I can also say this worked with my sensitive skin well and didn't break me out at all! If you're fair, burn easily, and have sensitive skin I really recommend this product. Even if you don't, I recommend this as a great SPF moisturizer that everyone could benefit from.  Vasanti Brighten Up! Enzymatic Face Rejuvenator $29 I tried this product sometime last yea...
