I can't believe September is over! We are heading into my favorite month of the year, October! For makeup this month, I kept it real simple. I usually buy tons of makeup in October & November because I LOVE holiday collections. Fall makeup is just the best anyway!
September's Favorites:
• Too Faced- Born This Way Foundation
- This is a great foundation for every day use. It's medium coverage, but I find it doesn't build up well. I have to use concealer to cover my dark spots or color correct.
• Milani- Amore Matte Lip Creme
- This smells amazing! Like cupcakes lol. It's a great nude, but a liner is absolutely necessary when wearing this. I use Whirl lip liner by MAC (another favorite this month) with it. Great combo.
• MAC- Whirl Lip Liner
- Whirl has been my go to lip liner this month. MAC describes it as "dirty rose" & to me it's the perfect dusty rose fall color.
• MAC- Sable Eyeshadow
- With keeping my makeup simple this month, I typically just grab for one shadow to put on my lid & bl bd through my crease. Sable has been my go to. MAC describes it as a "gold-plum w/bronze pearl". It's not too shimmery & has a hint of gold.
• Graftobian- Soft Orange HD Creme Corrector
- This month my dark circles have been so annoying to me! Either that or my concealer isn't covering well. I've had this corrector for over a year. I decided to put it back in my routine & it's been my bff! It's very creamy & blends like a dream!
• Chanel- Le Volume De Chanel
- This is just my holy grail of mascaras. Everything about this mascara is perfect (well except the price).
• NARS- Tribulation Highlighter/Blush
- Tribulation came out with NARS Fall 2015 collection. It gives a nice subtle glow which makes it perfect for everyday. NARS describes it as "shimmery rosy sand". It gives a nice luminous good sheen to the face.
•NARS- Audacious Mascara
- Good volume and length.
• NARS- Audacious Lipsticks in Barbara & Vera
- This lipstick formula is my #1 favorite. They are so creamy and pigmented & have staining properties! Barbara is described as a "tan rose" and Vera is described as "bright raspberry".
•Becca x Jaclyn Hill- Champagne Pop
- I fought myself to buy this because I didn't think I needed it. Who was I kidding? I can NEVER have too many highlighters! Especially ones that are gold toned (my fav).
