September Beauty Favorites
My makeup game has changed ever since the Naked palette came into my life. I’d been lusting after it forever, but I finally pulled the trigger on it over the summer with some birthday money. I don’t have to tell you that it’s great, you probably already know that. But what I can tell you as someone who was super hesitant to drop $50 on eyeshadow is that it was worth every penny. (I know it’s hard to see/read, but if you’re a makeup guru, you’ll notice that buck and sidecar are swapped. I got a defective palette, ha)! sin, half baked, naked, and toasted are my most used. I use creep daily in my tightline.
I’ve also been all about the lipstick lately. It’s taken me some time to get used to, growing up a lipgloss junky, but now I can’t get enough. Revlon Sultry and Rimmel Kate Moss 107 have been on constant rotation. Both are matte, comfortable, highly pigmented and long wearing. Oh. And cheap. Really cheap.
It wouldn’t be fall if there wasn’t a muted purple-grey nail polish in the mix. Julep’s Gabrielle made it on to my nails more than once in September. Y’all know that’s basically unheard of around here.
My short stubby lashes have been loving Cover Girl’s Clump Crusher. I used to be an all waterproof all the time kind of girl, but after reading an article about how bad that actually is for your lashes (and being over the nightly fight to remove said mascara), I made the switch. But finding a non-waterproof formula that didn’t smudge with my tiny, squinty little eyes was damn near impossible. So far Wet n’ Wild’s Megalength and the CG Clump Crusher are the only two that I’ve found that don’t flake and stay in place all day.
And for one sneaky non-beauty favorite, I had to include the Yankee Candle wax tart in kitchen spice. Oh, holy fall goodness. Just trust me, okay?
