October Favorites


    It's the time for beauty favorites again! To start off, the Becca by Jacqlyn Hill palette is absolutely gorgeous. The packaging itself was enough for me to buy it because it was so pretty. The picture of it here definitely does not do it justice.  Inside, the palette comes with three blushes and two highlighters.  The highlighters are in champagne pop and prosecco pop. Prosecco pop is a golden highlight while champagne pop is a pinky flesh tone. Amaretto and Pamplemousse are two of the three blushes and are mineral based, so they have a bit less sparkle than the third blush Rose Spritz which is definitely more luminous. All five products apply and blend perfectly. No complaints here! 
    For the eyes, my go to palettes are the urban decay Naked 3 and Naked Smokey. Both make it super easy to do effortless, time-saving looks for my early mornings when I don't feel like actually trying with my eyeshadow. 
    Two mascaras I have been trying out this month have been L'Oreal's Voluminous Carbon black and the Voluminous Butterfly Sculpt (can you tell I like volume for my lashes?).  The Butterfly sculpt does a better job at "gripping" the lashes and really working in the mascara to make them look full and voluminous. The Carbon Black creates volume but with a more natural look. 
    The L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Glow foundation is my new favorite. I have dry skin/patches most of the year so having a foundation that hydrates is a must. This foundation definitely gives the face a nice glow without looking greasy. 
    Lately, I've been trying out cream matte lip products. The one I've found that I really like is the BareMinerals Gen Nude matte liquid lip color in Juju. It's a pretty mauve that looks natural on the lips and wears very comfortably. I will most likely be purchasing this lippy in other colors.  Bite beauty has beautiful lipsticks as well. I received a sample size in my Sephora Play box and I love it! It's in a really pretty bright pink called Kimchi. The formula is moisturizing and sits really beautifully on the lips. 
    Lastly, my new scents I am absolutely so glad I splurged on is the Jo Malone line. These perfumes are some of the best I have ever smelt and I definitely recommend giving them a sniff if you ever come across them. The two I own are Peony & Blush Suede as well as Wood Sage & Sea Salt. Peony is a gorgeous floral and Wood Sage is very woodsy and an extremely unique scent. 
    Those are my favorites for the month. Hope you enjoyed!
