September Beauty Favorites
It’s that time of month again! No… not that time.
Beauty favorites time!!!
1. E.L.F. GLOSSY GLOSS IN WILD WATERMELON
I gave E.L.F. another try and bought a bunch of stuff when everything was half off a few months ago. I really like this gloss. It reminds me a lot of MAC Lipglass, but I got it for… I think $1.50? I am a huge sucker for anything bright pink, and this is no exception. The color is beautiful. It goes on easy. My only qualm with it is that it’s a little sticky. But most lip glosses are. This particular E.L.F. order I made was very hit or miss and this one was a hit!

2. EOS TRAVEL SIZE EVERYDAY HAND LOTION – CUCUMBERI was initially drawn to the packaging of this product. I liked how small and sleek it is! I like my beloved Eos lip balm, and this is just as awesome in my opinion! I love how moisturizing it is and how I can throw it in any purse.
3. MARY KAY LASH PRIMER
BlogHer and Mary Kay sent me a plethora of wonderful products to try out and review, and I tell you, this is probably my favorite of the bunch. Surprisingly, I have never used a lash primer before because I thought it would just add an extra step to my routine without much payoff, but I was so pleasantly surprised by this product. My lashes stayed curled and put for twelve hours!! I was amazed! My lashes also feel a bit more healthier after using this.

4. ONE ‘N ONLY ARGAN OIL
My hair texture has been so whacko ever since giving birth. It started falling out in clumps at three months postpartum and then it just got frizzy and brittle. I wasn’t coloring my hair very much (in fact, I even went ombre to avoid frequent colorings). Hormones just made my hair crazy. I had used pure argan oil before that I ordered online, but I was at Sally’s and I picked this up on a whim. I remember hearing somewhere that this was a dupe for the beloved Moroccan Oil treatment. I ended up really liking this a lot! I know it’s got a bit of silicones in it, but I felt like it was one of the only things that helped tame my hair. I love the scent, also!
5. WET ‘N WILD COLOR ICON PALETTE – PETAL PUSHER
Wet ‘n Wild seriously has some of the most pigmented eyeshadows! Read my other review here on the Comfort Zone palette. I bought this because I wanted to create more plum and purple looks for fall. You seriously can’t go wrong with this, because it’s only $5! The shadows are creamy, pigmented, and last all day. Love, love, looooooooooove.

6. L’OREAL TRUE MATCH SUPER BLENDABLE BLUSH – SPICED PLUM
I gotta be honest here. I don’t own any drugstore blushes. I was looking for a plum blush, because burgundy and plum is totally in this fall. I picked this up because of how it is formulated to match my skin tone. I like how you get a ton of product for the price. It’s sleek packaging and sturdy. The blush goes on beautifully but the staying power isn’t amazing. But to be fair, a lot of blushes fade on me really easily. This is on my favorites list because I really love how it goes on and the color is perfect!

7. NYC SMOOTH SKIN BRONZING FACE POWDER – SUNNY
I am a sucker for a matte bronzer. You have probably heard me time and time again about how I prefer a matte bronzer over a shimmer simply because I feel it warms up the face far better. I find this bronzer to be really similar to Benefit’s Hoola, but for $2.99! I have loved using it and the price tag makes it a winner in my book! It is also a favorite among beauty gurus.There you have it! My September favorites! Now that I’m looking at it – it’s mostly drugstore and budget-friendly items! So, that makes it doubly as awesome in my opinion. I guess I haven’t been stepping into the high end beauty stores lately, which is fine by me. If something is drugstore/budget and works just as well, I will use it!What have you been using lately that you love?
