Blogtober Day 5 | September 2015 Favorites

Makeup Geek eye shadows: I've heard of Makeup Geek for a long time but this is my first time buying from them. Now I have to ask myself...why have I waited so long? These eye shadows are amazing. Its really hard when you can't actually go into a store to test the quality and color before purchasing but I looked up swatches and did my research before buying-so far I've been very happy with my color selection. The top rows are regular eye shadows and the bottom row are the new duochrome shadows. I pretty much use this palette for my everyday makeup. I have had so much fun playing and putting together different looks. If you want to see a more in-depth blog post on these shadows make sure you are following me....I have a blogtober post coming up later this month on this palette. 

Estee Lauder New Dimension Shape+Fill Expert Serum: Just recently I switched to this serum and I'm loving it. I haven't been using it long enough to tell if it's been making a difference but it's suppose to help shape your cheeks and jawline. I really need so help with my jaw line. My jaw is EXTREMELY round and I have to do a lot of contouring everyday to make it look more sharp. Hopefully this will help me with that. 

Cover FX Custom Infusion Drops: I still love my custom cover drops so when I saw these infusion drops I knew I had to try them. I got the hydration and radiance drops. I use the hydration drops with my moisturizer and the radiance with my foundation. I love them both and if you have dry skin you will too. If you are more on the normal or oily side I would definitely stay away from these. 

Shiseido Wrinkle Resist 24 Eye cream: I've been using this as my night eye cream for about a month...wow what a difference. I'm not that old yet but I've really struggled with my under eye area. I've started to get fine lines and bumps - nothing so far has been helping. Since I've started using this cream I've noticed that my fine lines are actually diminishing! 

Sephora Mud Mask Purifying & Mattifying: Unfortunately for me I'm allergy to the GlamGlow masks. An employee at Sephora recommended this one to me and I'm very happy she did. I used about once a week and it really purifies and deep cleans my skin. This make is also great if you want to do a spot treatment....it gets rid of my spots instantly! I don't like using my hands to apply this so I use a Real Techniques Essential Foundation Brush. Plus the price point on this you just can't beat. This is mask is $24 and the GlamGlow is $76. 

What were your favorite products from September?

September Favorites

It's almost the end of the month, I figured I would get my September favorites posted as I have been LOVING some products this month. I've narrowed my list down to five products that I wanted to talk about.

The first is a DIY lash serum that I made at the beginning of this month. I'm not big on false lashes so I'm trying to do whatever I can to make mine look amazing! I've been using this serum for our four weeks and I've already noticed a difference. Stay tuned and I'll be doing a full review/tutorial on how to make your own lash serum in an upcoming blog post. 

The next product I picked up because I had a fall wedding to attend. My legs were looking a little pale and I didn't have time to use my gradual tanner. The Sally Hansen airbrush legs gave me a great glow! I even put some on my arms to even out my farms tan and it looked great! I used a tanning mitt to apply it so I would get airbrushed results, however, you can also just use your hand to rub the product in. I had this on all day and it lasted until the end of the reception. It's looks a little scary when you first put it on but just keep blending and you'll be fine.

Next we have a hair product called its a 10 miracle leave in plus keratin. I put this on as soon as I get out of the shower and it claims to

-maintenance of keratin straightening treatments

-increase styling and manageability

-perfect for all hair types

-replaces lost protein

-protects the natural keratin in hair

-protects against heat

-restores hydration balance

-detangles, defizzers and adds shine

-strengthens hair structure

-seals cuticles for extra silky hair

Another hair product made it into this month's favorites and that's the Alterna rehab deep hydration masque. I know that most people's favorite is the macadamia hair mask but unfortunately I am allergic. If you are interested in trying out the macadamia mask but find that you can use it either I would recommend this one! My hair is so soft and silky smoother after every use.

Finally my last favorite of the month is the Nars ITA brush. I love this brush for contouring, which is something I do every day! This brush is amazing and gives the best results

Thanks for stopping by my blog! I hope you had a great September! Stop by next month for my October favorites.
