September Faves


Hey there!

I must say that September was a pretty chill month. I didn't deviate from products most of the month. I was sick a few days and then super duper busy other days so it was just easier to keep to the status quo. So, the favorites are things that helped me stay on task.



The number one task is keeping moisturized. It's important and when you become my age, it's super important. My favorite moisturizers are my Laneige Water Bank Serum for my face and Nivea Moisturizing Creme for everywhere else. Laneige is a new favorite and Nivea is an oldie but goodie. They have both stayed on my body all month.


The key to a well moisturized body is also good bath products. You want to use bubble bath and shower gels that don't dry you out. My new first love are The Body Shop products. Anytime I see them in Marshalls, T.J. Maxx, Homegoods wherever, I have permission (from myself) to pick them up. They smell so good and lather so well. I currently have a Vineyard Peach (repeat purchase!) and Honeymania (new purchase). They don't look used do they? That because you only need a little bit!



The other non makeup item that I've been loving are these new earrings that I picked up from the Atlanta Apparel Mart last month. I always run into Golden Stella and grab several pairs of earrings. They are cheap as chips and so comfortable. I think these were about five bucks and I have worn the heck out of them. I love them.



Makeup wise I've been highlighting the "BAM!" outta my cheeks. I've been using my e.l.f. Baked Highlighter in Pink Diamonds. I use this so much and it still looks brand new! That's because you don't need much. Some people say that there is too much fall out and that it's too chunky. That has not been my experience. It's smooth and stays where you put it. I find that I get many complements when I'm wearing this.

My lip color practically all month has been my Revlon Superlustrous lipstick in Blushing Nude. It's a gorgeous warm, pinky nude. It's creamy and I don't need to use a lip balm beforehand. I keep this sucker in my purse and I'm always ready to go!

And my last favorite is currently gracing my toes. I am wearing the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri polish in Berry Magical. A-MA-ZING. I wanted to wear a dark color to get my head ready for Fall (it takes a lot of prep work for me to prepare). I knew it was going to be pretty but nothing prepared me for this! I'm ready to paint my nails with this again!

These have been my faves for September. I really have been using the heck out of these products and it's going to take a lot of me to switch it up...but I will.


What have you been loving this month? Are you going to keep it in rotation or add something new?

WHAT I WORE - This Week In Face


Hey There!

My face products don't vary much. I always use a powder, bronzer, blush and a lippie. It keeps it simple. I said this week, but this has actually been my face for the last two weeks!



I love my MAC Studio Fix in NC42
That's not a surprise. I've been using 2 bronzers this month. I've been using my NYC Smooth Skin Bronzing Face Powder in Sunny (cult fave) and my e.l.f. Glow in Bronzed. Sunny has been my everyday bronzer and Bronzed has been my "let's go out" bronzer. I'm sad to say that haven't used my "let's go out" bronzer nearly as much as I'd like.



My cheeks have been simple. I've been using my NYC Color Wheel Mosaic Face Powder in Pink Cheek Glow. It's a soft pink color for me. Just a hint of color really. And when I need more color, I've used my Sonia Kashuk blush in Spice. This one is more of a deeper pink. You just need the smallest amount!



I mentioned going out and when you go out, you need a highlighter! I also gave my coworkers a treat during the week and wore my e.l.f. Baked Highlighter in Pink Diamonds. Careful! This is a BAM! highlighter and looks great. Just a touch!



My lips will amaze you. I have used 1 lipstick for two weeks. ONE!!! My Revlon Superlustrous Lipstick in Blushing Nude has been my bae (did I just type that?!). I have been loving this beautiful warm brown with a hint of pink. It's such a versatile color and I could just wear it every day (and I did!).



I mixed it up with some lip glosses. The mix and match ability of these were fantastic! I wore my new Milani Lip Gloss (with no name, so brown) and my NYX Butter Glosses in Angel Food Cake and Strawberry Parfait. My Butter Glosses are always in my purse. I love them. They smell good and the jazz up any lip color or work well alone.


So that's been my face for 2 weeks. There have been minor exceptions (link here) but this has been my face uniform. I prepare my makeup for the week on Sunday, so I should have new face colors at the end of this week (or next few weeks). Stay tuned!
