September Favorites (It's fall already?!)
Wednesday, October 6, 2010
I still can't get over the fact that it's October. Doesn't it seem like summer was just here? I remember talking about teals and blues and getting into bright colors... and now it's time to switch gears. But that's ok because I love fall colors/trends. Berry and gold eyes, rosy cheeks, red lips- the best!
Anyway, here are my favorite products that I used almost every day this month (I would have more, but I've been using a lot of different things every day). I included a little of everything beauty-related.
Non-makeup:
Victoria's Secret PINK Warm & Cozy body spray: This was one of the first body sprays I got when I first started working at VS last fall, and it's my go-to cold weather scent. It reminds me of Christmas, I don't know why. It has vanilla, pink peony and raspberry notes in it and it's just so warm/yummy smelling!
Victoria's Secret More Pink Please perfume: I layer this and the PINK Warm & Cozy spray, because scents last longer when you layer! LOL, it's in the same family as Warm & Cozy, and since body sprays last honestly 10 minutes on me, I have to layer. This has top notes of mandarin and orchid and base notes of vanilla and amber (among others).
The Icing nail polish in Pinot Noir: I got this on clearance back in August for like $2.25, and it's such a pretty cranberry/gold shimmer! Perfect for fall. I have this on my toes now.
Makeup:
(Some of these i've mentioned before, sorry!)
MAC Retrospeck eyeshadow: I've been really into light/neutral eye looks, and this a great all over lid color. It is a sparkly light gold with awesome pigmentation (Unlike some of my other MAC eyeshadows).
ELF Studio Golden Bronzer: I've hit pan! I use this daily to make myself look more alive. I love love that cream highlight color- it makes my skin glow. Definitely will be repurchasing this when I run into more pan.
Rimmel Spark It Up! eyeliners in Peridot and Black Gold: Peridot is a dark shimmery blue-green, and Black Gold is a dark antiqued gold. They are both great alternatives to standard brown or black without being at all "obvious". I love these for giving neutral looks something extra.
Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Double Face Perfector concealer/highlighter: I'm so glad I finally got this when Maybelline was 40% at Walgreens awhile back. Jamie, you're right, it's awesome! I use it to cover blemishes (Fortunately I don't yet have problems with under eye circles), and it's the only concealer I've tried in a long time that hasn't caked/worn away. It's also really pigmented so you don't need a lot.
Well, those are my favorites for this month. Have you tried/been using any that I mentioned? I'd love to hear your thoughts!
