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.

Doucce Freematic Eyeshadow Pro Palette (Nude) Review

Doucce Freematic Eyeshadow Pro Palette (Nude) Review You may have seen that I received this Doucce palette in my FabFitFun Winter Box . I have actually tried one of their single pans of eyeshadow from a subscription in the past and I did like it and thought it was super pigmented! First of all, I love how compact and cool this freematic palette is. There is small magnets on the back of each shade and the inside of the actual palette is a magnetic board like a Z-Palette. Then I want to mention how I do really like the color layout of this. It is a pretty neutral layout and has shades that everyone has, but the undertone of these are just so different to me. In a good way for sure! They do have other palette options on their website, along with a "build your own palette" option. I will eventually review the highlight (also a bonus!) that came with this, but I want to talk mainly about the 8 eyeshadows. They're just like the single one I received and is very pigm...

Shroud Cosmetics x BattyBean Hallobean Palette | Makeup

Where to begin with this palette? Could it be the best of this season? Possibly so! This second round of Shroud Cosmetics x BattyBean is everything I could dream up for a fall palette. Sure, I love the past Its Freakin' Bats palette. It is still a favorite with its spooky vibes. What the Hallobean Palette gives is not only a spooky vibe but a fall lovers' essentials in the shade range. With 5 mattes and 4 metallics, you have a good balance in formulas that are some of the best. The mattes are pigmented but are some of the easiest shadows to blend out. The metallics are a buttery dream with the prettiest payoff. These stunning shades that are named after such iconic Halloween movies/characters are everything and new favorites.   BattyBean did an incredible job on another gorgeous color story and Shroud really does deserve all the love/hype they are getting! xx Shades left to right: Ghastly, Afterlife, Crypt, Woodsboro, It's Showtime, Black Flame, Losers Club, Ghoulish...

Bh Cosmetics X Shaaanxo Palette Review

Bh Cosmetics x Shaaanxo Palette Review: I've been using this palette for quite awhile now and I've always loved it. I've been doing a lot of these "palette reviews" lately and plan to keep doing them, so why not do some old favorites as well?  If you like warm-tones, then this palette is for you. This was the palette that came out just before Kylie Jenner launched a palette that some say looked quite similar.  From pictures, they do seem to have close to the same shades. I only own this one so I can't say much for that palette. Shaaanxo's palette is stunning though. Even with just these 9 shades, I can/have come up with so many different eye looks over the summer. Speaking of which, this was one of my go-to palettes for the summer time. I still feel like I'll be able to get a lot of autumn looks with it as well. As you can see from the swatches, this palette is very pigmented and the shades blend really well on the eyes. The colors are also ...
