November Beauty Faves

Hey guys!

It about that time again…my MONTHLY BEAUTY FAVES! I usually like to do these posts on the very last day of the month but with tomorrow being Thanksgiving and all the shopping this weekend I wanted to share these just in case you guys wanted to shop! Also, I LOVEEEEE doing these because it gives me an excuse to try out a bunch of beauty products for you guys!

Foundation

Both foundations have been in rotation this month and I loveee them both. For some reason though, I cannot get the shade for the Huda Foundation right. Dulce De Leche is my second shade in this foundation and it is still a tad too dark for me. I guess being in the house all of these months has really changed up my foundation shades. My normal shades in brands are just not working for me (lol). I think I may return dulce de leche for a shade lighter. The coverage for this foundation is good but to get the coverage that I like, I have to use a lot which I am okay with.

The Laura Mercier Foundation is amazing. I bought this foundation a while ago (like before Sage) but I only used it a handful of times because I felt like the color was too light. I always like the formula though. Now that none of my foundations seems to be matching, I decided to try this out and it is a perfect match now. I am sooo glad the shade works and I am in love all over again.

Lipliner

This is the PERFECT medium brown lipliner for me. It’s so creamy, smooth, and blends really easily. I really like this shade to overline my top lip to create a tad more fullness. It blends really well with my natural lip color so when I overline with this liner its not super obvious.

Lipstick

Both are REALL REALLY good nude lipsticks. The Creme is a tad more matte and make my lips look super full. I can wear the shade alone or add a gloss on top. The Tom Ford lipstick is much more pink than the creme lipstick. Unlike the creme lipstick though, I feel like a gloss over this is a must. It’s a pretty shade but I feel like it just needs something extra.

Lipgloss

This gloss give such a really great sheen. Its superrrrr shiny, on the thicker side, but not goopy

This gloss gets an honorable mention. I like it but I am not in LOVE LOVE with it…yet. The color is pretty and it looks nice over lipstick but I am not getting the high shine that I like. I think I may need to try it over another lipstick and see if I get the look I want.

Eyeshadow

This palette has made my monthly faves before but I have found myself going back to this one recently. The colors are sooo warm which I love and look great for everyday use. I usually just sweep one matte color all over my lid but when I have the extra time, I like to use the sparkly colors on my inner corner.

Fragrance

These fragrances smell similar but different. The Maison Margiela is sweet and creamy but has a hint of burnt smell to it. It is really different but I really really like it. I actually like it so much that I keep it in my purse so I never forget to spritz it on before I leave the house. The Killian one is very sweet, almost like fruity pebbles, but not in a childish way. I like this one and wear it on the days that I don’t wear the Maison Margiela one. I have travel sizes of both of these but once they are empty, I will be buying the full sized versions.

Hair Tools

I have been raving about this since I got it! This styling iron is worth every single penny. It heats up super quickly and the style LASTS. I LOVE to use waver attachment the most!

Styling iron set with the heat protectant and finishing spray (SUCH A GREAT DEAL!)

Hair Products

These two sprays are most likely the reason why my styles hold so well using the styling iron. They smell so well and I feel like they really do work.

Blush

I love blush! It has always been a makeup obsession of mine but /I always have a really hard time finding a shade that doesn’t turn red on me. I normally use Charlotte Tilbury’s blushes but I really wanted to try something new so I went for these. The color looks sooo good and natural on me. I like to mix She’s so LA with one of the other shades. If I mix She’s So LA with She’s Sincere I get a really pretty peachy nude. If I mix it with She’s that Girl I get a toned down nice pop of pink.
