October Favorites

It's November!? What? I just said I couldn't believe it was October....ugh! I'm not ready for November. I just had a little "OMG" moment when I flipped my calendar over and remembered Thanksgiving is not too far away. Geeze. This year has flown by so fast. 

One thing that makes me happy : Black Friday! hehe.

Okay, now for my favorites...

Hush, Hush-Crescendo-Silence

I am a book lover.

I'm just going to say it, I was checking out what Wal*Mart had to offer and I stumbled upon the book series "Hush, Hush" so I picked it up and read the back and decided to give it a go. The cover artwork is amazing, sometimes I do judge a book by it's cover, because honestly, I really just skimmed the back. lol. I didn't even know what the general idea of what it was about other than I saw an angel on the cover. I figured I would try the first book and if it was a fail, oh well. Normally, I don't buy books at full price unless it just calls to me, and this one did. 

Like I said, it's about a fallen angel and it's a love story geared towards young adults...I enjoyed it, and I'm 25, but I also like that kinda thing. Mushy lovey dovey, everything could go wrong but maybe it'll end up perfect. Swoon. Yep, that's me. 

I read the first one and had my husband pick the other two up the very next day! And read those just as fast. Silence actually just was released this October and one more book is on the way for 2012. 

Like I said, I don't normally buy books at full price and my local discount store had this whole series for $3.99 each! Ugh! Double ugh! and Triple ugh! 

I actually told my husband I loved those books so much I was tempted to buy them at the discount store and read them all over again, even though I already have the books! That's how much I LOVE them. 

Anywho, enough of writing a book on my favorite books. ;0)

Moving on....

I used Clinique's dramatically different moisturizing gel for October. I have combo skin, and I also have the normal version and a I mix the two sometimes. 

I have to throw some BBW in the mix...

I used Charmed life lotion constantly in Oct.

Physicians Formula's Organic Wear was my mascara of choice.

Almay nearly naked makeup was my foundation of choice, and this does feel really light weight. 

The Balm and the Beautiful palette was a staple, and I'm sure I'm going to love it every month to come because it has some awesome colors that are super pigmented. 

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this NARS blush palette! It is such an amazing deal. Love the brozer, love the highlight...love it. You can pick this up at Sephora and the F&F sale is still on until tomorrow, I think. 

I got this Justin Beiber Someday perfume sample when I picked up my NARS palette....and I'm like a teeny bopper, I know, but I actually like this perfume alot. *blushes* teehee. Maybe I just don't want to grow up? Or maybe this actually does smell really good? 

What do you think? lol. 

I love this Burt's Bees Super Glossy natural lip shine in Nectar Nude.

It smells like oranges and it's pretty moisturizing.

You can feel the little shimmery things on your lips sometimes, but I feel like it's exfoliating, so I kinda like that.

I love the smell of apples and I've been using the BBW pocket bac in Bat Bite. Good thing I have a backup.

For nails I've been drawn to brownish shades.

I wore this Sally Hansen Xtreme wear in Time to Shine.

And NARS Bad Influence.

*For some reason this chips like crazy! I even use Seche Vite and it chips within hours-could be that I'm impatient when it comes to drying....?" 

What were some of your favorites?

September Favorites

It's October already!? Where does the time go!? It feels like it should still be the beginning of the year to me...Ugh. Lol. 

Alright, I guess I should move on now. 

Here we go.

My first favorite for September is the book Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead.

I've been eyeing this book for a while, since last year, but I didn't pick it up until now. It's a young adult novel, but I really like it. I've always been obsessed with Vampires and the supernatural. FYI-I was a vampire almost every year growing up, before Vampires were considered "cool." Lol. There is just something alluring about being immortal, to me. Haha. * Bahahahaha- I totally meant for Halloween, I'm not a vampire, although I wish I was. *

Next up is this Bath & Body Works candle in Frosted Cupcake.

I had to refrain from adding all my BBW collection from this post. I decided to only add the products that I've used as of yet, otherwise I might as well link the BBW site. ha. 

Apple Crumble-BBW candle.

I really really LOVE this scent. I normally don't like spicy scents too much and this does have a spicy scent, but it's just the right amount. I think of fall when I burn this and I love it! I love the tartness of the apples, it's just perfect for burning on those chilly fall mornings. 

I need to get a backup of this asap! 

My next favorite has to be my overall favorite.

This is the most gorgeous purse I've ever seen. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating, but I do LOVE this purse.

It's a Jessica Simpson bag and I picked it up at TJ MAXX for $50! Awesome deal, and they still have it there if you're interested. It's perfect for the fall. 

EOS lip balm. 

I had this lip balm before and my two year old got a hold of it and ate most of it. Eeek! It does taste pretty good though, I must admit. 

I got this at walmart for about $3. I think it's in summer fruit. 

Another BBW item! 

Mmmmmmm.

Forbidden Apple.

YUM. It tastes soooo good. I am an apple kinda girl. It tastes like a candy apple from the fair or something and I love it. That alone has won me over, hands down. 

It goes on very smooth and is not sticky at all and lasts for days. It also has a sheer red tint to it. And it's from their Halloween collection and on sale right now for $5.

Next up is this Physicians Formula liquid eyeliner plus eyelash boosting serum.

I didn't think this was going to live up to its claim of seeing 100% results, but I must admit, I have seen some lash growth after using this for awhile and I am impressed. I love this stuff. 

I've heard rave reviews for this product and finally decided to give it a try.

I honestly can't say I see a major difference in the amount of puffiness under my eyes, but I do love that the little roller ball is made of metal and is super cool on my skin. I just want to keep rolling it over and over and over. 

I got this Clinique eyebrow crayon free when I purchased my moisturizer and it's in the shade blonde, and I'm a brunette, but my eyebrows are really light and most brown colors are too dark for me so this ended up being a perfect shade for me. It also has a highlight on the other end. 

Oh, look, BBW again. 

I got this cute little guy because I love owls and I needed something for my little candles.

He was $5.50, I think. 

Oh, BBW, and another owl! LOL.

And the scent I'm using is Apple Crumble, of course.  

I've been using my Viva La Juicy perfume pretty much the whole month of September.

It's fruity and I love fruit. Perfect. 

I've been using this Biore warming anti-blackhead cream cleanser and I love that it gets really warm when your rub it on your face. It doesn't stay warm long enough though. It smells pretty good. I got this at walmart for $5 or so..

I used MAC's well dressed blush the most in September.

I'm actually looking for new blushes so if y'all have any recommendations let me know in the comments.

Another lip product that I used in September was MAC's lipglass in Love child.

I wore MAC's All that Glitters alot in September. It's my go-to, don't know what to wear, shade. 

What were some of your favorites for September?
