November Favorites

I want to apologize to you all for taking the past week off from blogging and also for putting up my November favorites so late. I do have some great favorites from November though so I still think that they are worth sharing. Also I purchased a lightbox and was playing around it with it but I don't think I'll be keeping it since I didn't think that the came out that amazing. I cannot wait for when I get more daylight to take outdoor pictures.

October Favorites

Favorites post's are always a challenge for me. Unless I am buying new stuff I struggle to find new favorites ( and I try not to buy a ton of new stuff a lot). I think if I shop my stash more in the future this might help but currently I am trying to use up some of the same things. I have a mix for October of skinare, nailcare, makeup, and of course a Bath & Body Works products.

Top 5 Favorite Fall & Winter Blushes Swatches, Photos, & Review

I picked out for you my favorite Fall & Winter blushes. I have a lot of pink blushes but wanted to pick out for you the ones that I would reach for more in the Fall & Winter and not as much during the rest of the year.  I tend to lean toward mauve & plum colors with golden shimmer in some. I am very fair skin so with some of these I have to really use a light hand but I still love all of these colors. 

Top Row: Tarte Exposed, Estee Lauder Audacious Plum, Illamasqua Naked Rose
Bottom Row: Nars Sin, Nars Luster

September Favorites

I tried to pick favorites from a variety of groups of things. I tend to use a lot of the same makeup during the week so that's why I don't always have as many monthly makeup favorites. Here is what I have been loving for the past month during September. I hope you all enjoy. 

Top 10 Favorite Fall Lip Glosses-Swatches & Photos

I'm so excited for Fall so I want to start sharing with you all some of my favorite Fall/Winter makeup products. For me Fall and Winter makeup is pretty much the same and the same goes for Spring and Summer. I may tweak it slightly but the idea of what I pick is similar. So these are my top 10 favorite glosses for Fall. This may change for Winter if I get some new glosses or fall in love with something else. I have a mix of high end and drugstore. I tend to like rich berry colors, plums, and rose colors. That's just personally what I lean towards. I don't like anything too dark though as I am very fair skinned and don't think I can pull off very dark. So here are my favorites for Fall.

Left to Right: NYX Tea Rose, NYC Color Plaza Punch, Nars Dolce Vita, Buxom Dolly, Chanel Imaginaire, Chanel Meteore,  Illamasqua Belladona,  Stila Mulberry, Lip Fusion Pucker Up, and NYX Copper Penny

August Favorites

I have purchased a few new products this month which have quickly become my favorites but also I have been doing a little bit of shopping my stash too to find some new loves in my collection. I think I'll be doing a shop my stash post soon since I have a ton of makeup that I need to give more love to. So here are my August favorite.

Favorite YouTubers of August

My obsession with all things beauty and makeup grew a lot when I found Beauty Guru's on YouTube. I like to watch my favorite YouTubers while I'm getting ready in the morning or when I'm getting ready for bed on my ipad. Sometimes YouTube can become TV for me. I certainly am behind on a lot of my TV shows but this is just way better. So here are my favorites for August in no particular order...

I really enjoy watching Ashley's videos and love her red hair. She does amazing tutorials, favorites videos, empties, product reviews, and so much more. She is great at reviewing current products and I really trust her opinion when it comes to what she likes and doesn't like. She is really relaxing to watch and has a calming voice when you listen to her. Here is her most recent video:

Most Worn Things Tag-Summer Edition

I decided to do the most worn summer things tag that I've been seeing a lot on YouTube and on some people's blogs. I wasn't tagged by anyone to do this but I'm going to do it anyways. This was kind of hard for me since I don't really switch things up too much for Summer. My most worn things tend to be things I wear a lot year round but I'm looking forward to sharing this with you all so that you can get a better sense of  some of my favorite things and get to know me better. So here are my 11 most worn things:

1. What is your most worn nail polish?

I really like Essies Cute As A Button for Spring/Summer and have worn this a lot. I tend to switch up my nail polishes every couple of days so it was really hard for me to pick a favorite as I love them all. This one just stood out to me though and I feel like I wore it more than some of my others. It's a pretty peach/pink color which I love. I don't like Essie's brushes as much as OPI but I make it work.

Product's I've Hit Pan On

This post is dedicated to the products that I have hit pan on which are very few. For those of you who are not familiar with the term to hit pan it basically means that you have used the product so much that you can see the pan.  I have a ton of makeup so if I hit pan on something that means that I really (and I mean really) love it. I also want to discuss in this post products that I would like to hit pan on. There are few products that for one reason or another I want to use them up or I just love them so I'm trying it see some pan.

Whats on My Face?

I love learning what are people's favorite Foundations, BB Creams, and Tinted Moisturizers. Basically what does everyone love to wear on their face? I got the idea for this post from A Little Bit etc. You should check out her blog as she does some great posts. I am only going to be talking about what I currently own and use and what I currently like that I own. I have some other BB creams that I am not 100% sure yet so I didn't want to talk about them in this post. I do want to mention that my favorite all time foundation is Nars Sheer Glow in Deauville. I plan on picking this up as soon as I finish up some of my other foundations.

Nars Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer, Neutrogena Healthy Skin, Bourjous Healthy Mix, Maybelline BB Cream

I love these two girls. They are so down to earth and seem to really love beauty products so much which comes through in their videos. They are great friends and that shows in the videos which makes them even more enjoyable to watch. They do videos on travel bags, rediscovered products, empties, battle videos and so much more. Check out one of their most recent videos below:

Top 10 Favorite Summer Lip Glosses

This blog post will be on my top 10 favorite summer lip glosses. Typically in the summer I enjoy bright pinks, peachy colors, pale pinks, and corals. Most of my favorite lip glosses are drugstore as I haven't really gotten into yet high end lip glosses. If you all have any suggestions I would love to hear though.

Tonya, Creamsicle, White Russian

Caudalie Beauty Elixir vs. Caudalie Grape Water

I've decided to do a post comparing the cult favorite Caudalie Beauty Elixir to the new Caudalie Grape Water. I'm thinking that once Caudalie saw how quickly popular the Beauty Elixer had become they knew that they had to create another more affordable product for those who wanted a Caudalie fix.
