I have no idea how this never got posted. I just came across favorites from OCTOBER just chillin in my draft file! So, even though they are from a couple months back, I will share them anyway.
I have such a hard time narrowing down my list of favorites sometimes and this month is definitely one of those months. However, with a little struggle, I got it down to seven and here they are.
NYX Butter Gloss in Crème Brulee
First up is NYX butter gloss in the shade
Crème Brulee. I don't know what NYX does but they have so many high quality cosmetics at an affordable price. In fact, they may be my overall favorite drugstore brand. Their Butter Glosses are very creamy and don't dry my lips out. The Crème Brulee shade is my absolute favorite everyday shade. It's nudey pink hue is perfect for giving a light wash of color and shine to make me feel put together without feeling too made up. Know what I'm sayin'?
Pacifica coconut infused mineral eye shadow in Treasure
Unfortunately, this shade cannot be purchased by itself and is only available as part of the Wanderlust beauty set,
Solar Complete Color Mineral Palette, or in the
Power of Love palette. I was lucky enough to get it in a goodie bag during
Ipsy's Generation Beauty event in L.A. I'm soooo glad I did! This eyeshadow is so creamy and very pigmented. I really love the golden "glow" it seems to give my eyes. I'm a bit surprised by it because the other Pacifica shadows I have tried were a lot more on the softer, less pigmented side but Treasure is completely different and I just cannot get enough of using it.
IT Cosmetics Brow Power universal eyebrow pencil (taupe)
If I had to choose one favorite beauty product of all time, this may be it. Well, who am I kidding,
I couldn't choose just ONE product but this would definitely be on the top of the list. I have never been able to find a brow pencil that wasn't either too dark, too blonde or too orange for my liking but Brow Power is definitely IT! I love that it gives me natural-looking, yet defined brows and I don't walk around feeling self-conscious about whether it looks right.
Julie G Frosted Gumdrop collection Nail Color in Tangerine Dream
I have been loving these Gumdrop textured polishes from the Julie G collection for quite some time now. I am a total lover of orange and the
Tangerine Dream shade is so fun for summer. The texture truly reminds me of the sugar-coated gumdrop candies. The formula is a perfect thickness and consistency to only require one coat. It dries quickly and lasts on my nails for nearly a week without needing a top coat. This is huge for me because I struggle to keep my polish from chipping.
Rock Your Hair Bombshell Big Hair Powder
I have fine, limp hair so I am always on the hunt for awesome volume and texture products.
Rock Your Hair caught my attention because of their adorable hot pink and rhinestone packaging. Seriously, cute packaging gets me EVERY TIME. Luckily, their hair powder is fantastic! This works wonders on my freshly washed, first day hair and gives me just the right amount of grippy texture to make my hair manageable. It doesn't make my scalp itch, either, which is a huge plus.
3D Fiber Lash Mascara
Okay, ladies and gents, this mascara is L.I.F.E. for me! I have been using it for almost 2 years now and it is my favorite beauty tool when I want big lashes for going out. While I do not go through the trouble of applying it on a regular daily basis (it's a bit of a process to get it just right), it gives me phenomenal length and volume, unlike any other mascara. I save this bad boy for when I really want big lashes that wow but don't feel up to falsies.
*note: This formula has been discontinued from this company but is widely available online and I hear rumors that there are other similar formulas around.
Seventh Generation Boosts Revitalizing skin serum
Of course I would choose a favorite that has been discontinued! Since it is still available in some places, it is still totally worth the mention. I got a chance to experience this skin serum from a promotion Seventh Generation was running and have been in love ever since. The revitalizing serum is more like an oil and comes in a pump bottle. I have been using it around my eyes as I've noticed I'm starting to get a couple fine lines. The serum is doing a nice job of adding extra moisture to minimize their appearance.
Have you tried any of these products? If you have, are they your favorites, too?
