October Favorites



October is over! To me it seems like the month just flew by. Now every one is gearing up for the holidays!



There were a few things that I couldn't get enough of this October and I thought I'd share them with you guys. 

 
October Favorites 2015


First up is the Maybelline Super Stay Better Skin Concealer & Corrector. This concealer gives pretty good coverage and is definitely buildable. It has a doe foot applicator and I apply it with my clean fingers. It does not break me out. It is supposed to last a long time and I find that it does. Another benefit is that it is supposed to help clear you skin after you have used it for a while. I haven't used it long enough yet but I think that it has potential! Even if it doesn't end up doing that it is still a great concealer and I will continue to buy it. There is also a foundation from the same line.

The next product that I have been loving is the Wet n Wild eyeshadow palette in Comfort Zone. These are very neutral and earthy colors, great for doing natural eye looks. You can use it to do more dramatic looks as well though. The pigmentation is pretty good and the shadows do not crease even without wearing primer. I was very impressed by the quality. 

Another thing I got a lot of use out of was my eyelash curler. Although I use it all the time and it wasn't an item I just recently "fell in love with" I did recently just start only curling my lashes and not always wearing mascara. Curling lashes makes such a difference and for me the curl lasts pretty long with/without mascara. Sometimes it's nice to not put it on since it can be time consuming and then a bit annoying to remove at night. I  do love mascara though! And I am a college student so I don't get too much sleep and curling my lashes makes me look so much more awake even without mascara and sometimes my eyes water a lot in the mornings and I don't want to have to worry about my mascara running.

I also really like metallic nail polish during the fall, especially golds, rose gold tones, greens, and other jewel tones such as purple.




I have been drinking a lot of tea lately. It really helped me get over a cold and there are a lot of benefits of drinking tea. There are also so many varieties so I think there is at least one flavor out there for everyone. Tea is a great beverage for the fall and winter and just symbolizes those seasons to me. My personal favorite teas are black tea, raspberry tea, and Christmas tea and as for brands I really enjoy Lipton, Twinning's of London, and Bigelow.

The last thing I thought I'd mention is a snack food. It is Popcorners! Theses are so delicious and my favorite is the kettle corn flavor, other flavors include white cheddar, butter, caramel, and sea salt. If you don't know what Popcorners are, they are basically popcorn in the form of triangle chips. There are a bit of a healthier alternative to chips and are amazing!

My Fashion Must Haves for Fall

Thinking ahead to fall kind of signals that summer is coming to an end (and believe me that is sad) but like I said in my last post, we don't have to deny that there are some great things about fall. Including the fashion!
 
Here are what I am looking forward to being able to wear again and my personal favorite fall trends:
Fall



  • Riding Boots    
  • L.L. Bean Boots
  • Flannel Shirts
  • Dark Nail Polish 
  • Dark Lip Colors
  • Leather Jackets
  • Jean Jackets
  • Sweaters
  • Scarves
  • Combat Boots
Nordstrom has a great selection of boots, Macy's does as well. As for flannels, leather and jean jackets,  Forever 21 and Pacsun are usually good places to find them. OPI has some amazing colors such as "We'll Always Have Paris" a deep red wine color and "Incognito in Sausalito" which is a very, very dark blue. Butter London also has great options like "Pitter Patter", an almost midnight-purple color. I don't even know if midnight-purple is a proper way of describing a color, but we do say midnight-blue, so think of it in those terms, if that makes sense!
