Holy moly, September flew by! I know everyone's saying it but it's true! I'm personally really happy October is here though. I just love fall and all of the lovely things it brings. With a new season arriving that means I've been grabbing products with different finishes and color tones (hello plums and berries!) than the ones I tend to use in the summer. Enough chit chat though, here's a closer look at some of the beauty products that were big players in my makeup routine last month!
For foundation I found myself reaching for the Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-hour Full Coverage Foundation. I don't use this every day because it is full coverage but I use it when I know I need something on my face that's going to need to last for a while and this gets the job done really well.
I finally hopped on the MAC Pro Longwear Concealer bandwagon around the end of August and I'm really happy I did! This concealer does not play around, talk about full coverage! I use this mainly under my eyes and occasionally on the high points of my face. I don't pair this with the Tarte foundation though because I find I would be too much coverage for the full the face.
I've kind of challenged myself to use other mascaras other than my precious Covergirl Clump Crusher, through that time I've rediscovered how much I like Benefit's "They're Real!" mascara. It's long wearing without being waterproof and the volume it provides my lashes is just ridiculously good!
Next is the Maybelline Master Shape brow pencil. I really like this particular brow pencil because it's not heavily pigmented so I don't have to worry about being light-handed when applying it to my brows. A bonus is the waxy texture it has, I find I don't need to set my brows with a gel when I use this pencil.
Another product from Maybelline is one of their Color Whisper's in the color Berry Ready. LOVE this color! Like the name says, it's a lovely berry color that just looks so nice pared with a barely there makeup on the face.
Let's talk about one of my favorite makeup products, blush! I've been loving these two beauties this fall. This first one is an oldie but a goodie. TheBalm's Cabana Boy blush is a must have in the fall and winter for me because it's such a beautiful light plum shade with a pretty sheen. And of course the packaging is beyond cute! :)
This next one is a pretty new addition to my blush collection and so far I've been enjoying it a lot. This is one of the Maybelline Dream Bouncy blushes in the color Plum Wine. I like to wear this on its own or sometimes I like to top it with the Cabana Boy blush for a really long wearing combo.
For highlight I've been reaching for Lightscapade Mineralized Skin Finish from MAC. It suits my skin tone really well and adds the right amount of glow to my cheekbones.
Lastly but most certainly not least, I have really really enjoyed using the Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette this past month. This product is totally worth the hype surrounding it. Total must have!
What are some products that you've been loving lately? Any fall must haves?
Xoxo,
