Too Faced Hangover Replenishing Face Primer
I have tried so many face primers over the years. I've found a few that I love to smooth out my pores and control my oiliness, but I've never found anything to help hydrate my dry skin, until now. The Hangover Replenishing Face Primer by Too Faced hydrates, smooths, and brightens my skin for a more awake look, especially when I haven't slept well. But what I love most about this primer is that it creates a hydration barrier between my skin and foundation that lasts all day. The hydration barrier prevents my skin from absorbing my foundation, which is something I struggle with my combination skin.
The Naked 3 Palette by Urban Decay
I've really neglected my Naked 3 palette these past few months, but for some reason I reached for it when doing my makeup one day and haven't looked back! I forgot how much I love this eyeshadow palette. My go to eye look this past month has been using Mugshot on my lid, a metallic taupe with pink shimmer, Nooner in the crease, a matte dusty rose brown, and Blackheart as liner, a smoky matte black with red micro glitter.
MAC Cosmetics Lip Pencil in Burgundy and Maybelline Color Sensational Creamy Matte in Divine Wine
This lip liner and lipstick combination were my favorite all month! Together they make the perfect vampy lip shade of burgundy red brown with a hint of plum. If you haven't read my post about vampy lips, I'll link it here.
L'Oréal Color Riche Mono Eyeshadow in Golden Nude
When wearing a bold lip I always go for a golden eye look, and my favorite golden shade to use is L'Oréal's Golden Nude eyeshadow. It's a smoky golden shade with lots of shimmer that goes perfectly with my hazel eye color. The formula of this eyeshadow is the best at the drugstore. It's so pigmented and is very long lasting on the eyes. If you can get ahold of this eyeshadow, you must buy it!
Rockateur Blush by Benefit
While cleaning out one of the drawers in my makeup collection I found my Rockateur blush and I instantly fell back in love with this blush! It's a rose gold shade that is perfect for the fall makeup looks, like golden smoky eyes and dark lips. What I love most about this blush is that the color stays all day. Benefit makes some of the best blushes and I will always recommend them, especially Rockateur.
Pumpkin Enzyme Mask by Peter Thomas Roth
I've been eyeing this face mask for a while at Sephora and I'm so glad I finally purchased it. There is nothing basic about this pumpkin mask! It's an exfoliating treatment mask so I use it about once a week to get all the dead skin and congestion out of my pores. I love that this mask leaves my skin feeling smooth and looking radiant. It also helps that it smells like freshly baked pumpkin pie!
Of course my assistants Cooper and Tiger Lily had to pose next to the pumpkins. Cooper wore his orange and black spider halloween scarf all October, so I would say that was his October favorite!
Also, in case you were wondering here are some photos of what me, Cooper, Tiger Lily, and Hannah went as for Halloween. Cooper and I were Cincinnati Bengals football players, Tiger Lily was our cheerleader, and Hannah was the referee. Our last minute theme actually worked out really well, but now all I can think about is what we'll be next year!
