So I am finally getting around to writing the detailed post about all my september favorites!! I am so sorry this is soooo late. I have been crazy busy with school and other things, also I am taking care of a sick boyfriend right now, so yeah. I have been in crazy do everything mode and I still need to clean my house. Anywho let's get into it.
Here is the video on youtube.
The first product I mention is Boots No7 Lipstick in Paradise. This lipstick is a moisturizing lipstick and is a beautiful color! It goes on smoothly and doesn't dry out throughout the day. I hardly notice I am wearing it after I have put it on. The color is a pink color, but it is neutral enough that this is my everyday, "go-to" lipstick no matter what the occasion. I don't think it is overpowering or a dull ugly color. When I bought this color (I believe it was about $9.99 at Target) the lady was showing me all these ugly brown colors and I honestly hated them! I don't know what it is about them but they were definitely not me as I am more girly and in love with pink.
Here is a swatch of the color.
As you can see it is a beautiful deep pink color, but not to dark or overpowering.
The next item on my list for September favorites is Lancome Lip Liner in Mauvelle. I had never used lipliner before this and was a little reluctant to add it to my list of free gifts from the lanceom counter at Macy's but I figured if I am going to try it I may as well not pay for it! Anyways I am so glad that I got this because it is such a beautiful shade and matched the Lancome lipstick that I got perfectly. (I can't think of the lipstick shade off the top of my head). So this lipliner goes on so easily you don't have to push it hard into your lips or go over it more than once. It is very precise and a beautiful deep red color, perfect for pairing with red lipsticks or blending all over the lips and adding a nice gloss. For some reason I don't have picture of this but it is in the video and I am pretty sure I swatched it.
The next item I mention is Maybelline Line Stiletto Liquid Liner is Blackest Black. This is my all time favorite liquid liner! I love this so much. I love the brush it is a felt brush and it is skinnier at the bottom and very accurate. The liner itself is a good formula it dries pretty quick so you don't have to worry about it getting onto your eyelid or anything for very long. It looks beautiful when set with a black eyeshadow and will stay all day that way. My only gripe is I am not sure if there is that much product in it. But I honestly think that all liquid liners don't come with much in them.
Sorry about the picture quality--the glare was awful.
Moving on to the ELF concealer and highlighter in fair. Now I do not right now have a fair skin town but I use the concealer (that is too light for my skin tone) as a concealer and a highlighter because the shade is lighter than my skin tone it adds a nice glow to my face as well as brightening it. I think that this duo is an excellent item to purchase and it is either only $1 or $3 which is an excellent price for a good quality product. I have been using this product for quite a while and always end up going back to it when my skin tone permits (as I don't use it while I am at my tannest).
This is only half of it because the other picture turned out badly. I apologize for the quality of these photos. They will be better in the future.
Now to go on to the Revlon PhotoReady Foundation in 006 Medium Beige. I tried out this foundation because I had heard a bunch of YouTube Beauty Gurus raving about it, but I had also heard quite a few gurus complaining that it seemed like it had a sheen to it. I can honestly say that when I heard this I was like WHAT? Because I have NEVER noticed a sheen to it at all. I thought it was perfectly matte. Now I don't know if this is personal opinion (how subjective can shine be?!) or if different shade of the foundation had different shine or sparkle to them or if maybe lighter shades seemed as if they were sparkly while the darker shades hid the sparkle. I am not sure but nonetheless I love this foundation. It gives excellent coverage while still looking natural and without feeling oily or like amass sitting on top of your face. It is an excellent staying foundation (obviously set it with powder) and has a great pump top for easy application. I prefer to use it with a beauty blender but fingers work great for just quick early morning coverage. Although I do believe the bottle I got has a minor packaging fail. The bottom layer slopes downward. You'll see it in the picture.
Here is the pump top.
The next item is Maybelline Chic Naturals Eyeshadow in 15S Linen. This color I use as a highlight. I love it as a highlight because it is completely matte and a nice shade of off-white. It is really easy to use as it is not a liquid which I enjoy a lot! I haven't used it as an actual eyeshadow color though.
Now onto the eos lip balm in Strawberry (something). I loooooove looove looove love this lip balm! it is so amazing. It smells amazing it feels amazing and it looks adorable. It doesn't make your lips dependent on it (at least for me...although I just get addicted to it) and it feels awesome, not sticky or annoying at all.
The rest of what I talked about is non beauty related.
Gold Peak tea --- Green tea is sooo delicious. It is a sweet green tea so if you're into that I would definitely recommend it. I love almost all green tea but not usually really sweet ones but this one is like a really tasteful, yummy, sweet tea.
Command wall hooks are really helpful and so simple to use! They also come off super easy and can be bought in packs of 5 maybe 10 at Target.
I apologize for how late this is and my lack of updating on here and YouTube but I am hoping to get into more of a routine with this. Until next time.
