August/September Favorites!

Hey guys!

August was another one of those months where the end of the month crept up on me, but I am including those favorites in this post as well.

So, in no particular order...

WetnWild Megalast nail polish in On a Trip

If you follow me on Instagram, then you've probably already seen this picture. The color is gorgeous and the formula is perfection. The best part is that this nail polish is only $1.99. I want them all.

 

Sleek Oh So Special Palette

I got my shipment of Sleek palettes at the end of August (haul post coming, I promise!) and I can honestly say this was the best beauty investment I have ever made. With my Sleek palettes, I couldn't possibly want any more in life. 

This palette, though, in particular has become a staple. I wanted to focus on one palette at a time and figure out new looks but I'm still working on this one. The colors are pigmented, gorgeous, blend easily, and truly enhance my natural beauty. 

I could go on and on... This palette is my one true love.

Sephora Day to Night Wear Eyeliner in Black Flame

I bought this when I just so happened to be at Sephora picking up my birthday gift and saw this for only $2. It is soo amazing! I've never had an eyeliner show up so well on my water line! (I'm too cheap to get an Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner). You can barely tell there's shimmer in this, so it's just a great smooth & pigmented black eyeliner crayon (it's the twisty kind).

American Apparel nail laquer in Passport Blue

I bought this a couple years ago at an American Apparel in Orlando (although I do have one in my hometown). I haven't used it much, and recently I decided I was in the mood for a darker color. I love this so much! The formula is pretty good. Yes, I know my nails are chipped. I will fix them - I just wanted to show the color.

And yes, the color is almost exactly the color of a US passport! (Even more so in real life - the picture is skewed by the sunlight)

Liplicious Cupcakes lipgloss in Pink Chiffon

This is one of those LE lipglosses you can get around the holidays at Bath & Body Works. I got this probably a year or two ago. I have a huge collection of these glosses and this happened to be one of them. 

This is a gorgeous light pink shade with fine glitter. It smells great and just looks really lovely on. I put this in my little wristlet where I stash my university ID and room key, so it's handy to put on throughout the day. Added bonus: it's moisturizing and leaves my lips feeling like I had on chapstick!

Maybelline Perfect Pastels eyeshadow quad in Velvet Crush

This is a quad I was given my bubbe. She never used it that much, but I've gotten some good use out of it! It looks great with my glasses because it really brings out the gorgeous brown in my eyes (rather than the poop brown haha). The colors are not the most pigmented and there is some fallout, but the colors blend beautifully and just look nice when I'm not in the mood to put too much effort into my makeup for the day.

Clinique Beyond Blusher in Peaches

This is just a gorgeous peachy blush I used a lot throughout August. It gives me a nice, natural glow.

ELF eyeshadow quad in Brownstone

These colors aren't shimmery, however they're not completely matte. I used these a lot throughout August. This palette is perfect for a classic and classy neutral eye, especially only at $1! 

Have you guys used any of these products? Loved them?

What are your favorites from the past two months? Let me know in the comments!

8 Most Worn Things Tag

Hey guys!

I was recently tagged by TheParisianPout to do the 8 Most Worn Things Tag and you can see her responses here.

1. Most Worn Lipstick/Lipgloss

I have way too many lipglosses and lipsticks, so of course I had trouble only choosing one.

L-R: Revlon Ginger Rose, NYX Femme, MUFE N50 (I think this one is discontinued)

I think these are pretty much my primary go-to colors although I have a few others. NOT pictured is Mentha Lipshine - I usually use this to top of a lipstick I want to tone down.

2. Most Worn Earrings

Seeing as I don't wear earrings that often, I'm putting my most worn RING. I actually never take this off. I got it from Tiffany as a graduation gift from my bubbe. I absolutely love it and think it's classically chic, yet fun at the same time.

3. Most Worn Top

Summertime for me is the time to wear dresses every single day, so considering the time of year it is, I am showing my current favorite dress. I got this from H&M back in May for around $13 I think. I am actually wearing it right now as I type this. It's super cute for my super petite figure (5 feet or 152 cm). 

4. Most Worn Nail Polish

Again, so hard to choose just one! These are the ones I seem to come running back to more than others. I have so many nail polishes that I don't wear one more than the other I think.

L-R: Essie Big Spender, ELF Moonlight, NYC Chelsea, Essence Walk of Fame

5. Most Worn Shoes

You may recognize these from my Recent Purchases post. I did buy these not even two weeks ago, but they have become my most worn shoes already. I'm in love with these. Rien à dire.

(Urban Outfitters 2/$20)

6. Most Worn Hair Product

Frankly, I do nothing with my hair. I wash/condition it in the shower and let it air dry. I do not dry it. I do not straighten it. The only products I use are Tresemmé shampoo and conditioner, and my brush. I don't find it necessary to include a photograph of these items.

7. Most Worn Perfume

At this point, I'm just trying to use up all the old bottles of perfume I have so I can get one big bottle of my favorite perfume for everyday. The first purple bottle is Mariah Carey - it smells nice, I just don't like her. The next one is Black Amethyst by Bath & Body Works. And below is Paris Amour by Bath & Body Works, which I do like a lot and hope to get more of for my birthday this Friday.

8. Most Worn Bag/Purse

This is my beloved Longchamp that I waited in a long line at Galeries Lafayette to buy last summer. In the US, these cost around $120 at Nordstrom and I got mine for 69 euro which is definitely cheaper. If you like this bag and you know you'll be in France, get one in France!!! 

I can't wait to get another one the next time I'm in Europe. This is my favorite bag. Fashionable, classy, versatile AND it fits my 11 inch MacBook Air!!! :)
