So I'm a few days behind with this post but I've been busy visiting with my parents and getting other stuff done. This is the part where I say "like OMG where has the month of October gone?! I dont even know!"
No.
I know exactly where the month of October went. It was crazy busy and stressful but I also had a lot of really good times last month I remember it all quite well. I don't have too many new beauty favorites because I've been sticking to what I know as of late. Also, during my down time, I've acquired a new non-beauty favorite ;)
First I'm going to start off with something you may have seen lying around in a previous post and that is my Clinique Black Honey Super Shimmer Eyeshadow Single. I talked about it a little in my other post but just to sum it up, this stuff is amazing, it's great to wear all by itself just swept over the entire lid or you can build up the color and make it much darker. You can use it to smoke out a brown shadow or even a red one which I plan on doing perhaps this weekend ;)Next is a new foundation that I've been using for about a month and it's my Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation and I wear the lightest shade #100 Ivory because I'm pale as a banshee. I needed a new foundation because the little color I picked up over the summer was fading fast so at the end of September I picked up this one. I'd heard really great things about it and one of my favorite Youtubers swears by it. It has even replaced my Revlon Photoready BB Cream. The reason behind the name is that it has the slightest bit of shimmer in it so when you buff it onto your skin it makes your skin glow which is perfect for dull winter skin like mine. It's gives your skin that "I drink 10 glasses of water a day" radiance and it's dirt cheap so it gets two thumbs up from me.
I've been pairing that with Maybelline's Fit Me Concealer in the shade #15 Fair. Not too much to say about this one other than it's super creamy and easy to blend under your eyes with your ring finger, unlike a lot of other concealers I've tried. Also, it's great to use as both under-eye concealer and to cover up blemishes because it hasn't got any shimmer to it.
Next is another item you've seen before on my blog and it's the Nuxe Reve De Miel Balm. I've read that lip balm is an addictive product and not just in the "OMG I can't get enough of this stuff" kind of way; apparently, the more you use lip balm, the more your lips end up needing it...which is where I stand. The reason I love this stuff is because it creates a barrier on your lips and it stays there all day if you put it on in the morning and all night if you put it on before bed. Also, it smells heavenly, like honey with a hint of orange zest.
You're probably all thinking why the hey does a 21 year old girl have an anti-aging eye cream in her daily routine? Well you're right, but I got it for free a while back at Sephora so why wouldn't I use it? I use my Origins Plantscription Anti-Aging Eye Cream both morning and evening and let me tell you, a little goes a long way. I don't use it for its anti-aging properties, more as just an under-eye cream because the skin under your eyes is so thin. I find that when I put this on in the evening, my concealer and makeup goes on a lot easier the next day and I'm not pulling at my under-eye area so much.
Last on the makeup menu is my OPI Manicurist of Seville polish. I find that this is the perfect fall shade and although it looks like a bright raspberry color in the picture, it's actually a much more dark berry toned polish.
Last but not least, my non-beauty favorite of the month has been the American Horror Story Series. Where has this been all my life. Despite the fact that I get chastised and teased by my dad for liking such morbid things, I love creepy, eerie, messed up macabre stuff, in fact, the more unnatural and the higher the death toll the better. This show just so happens to have all of that and a killer cast. I know you don't have to start from the first season but I did and I'm quite glad that I did. It's one of those shows where all seasons are their own separate entities and you can watch one without the other even though the actors carry over from season to season. This has been mine and my boyfriend's guilty pleasure for the past few weeks and I'm ashamed to say how fast we got through the seasons that are out. Go watch it.
