October Favorites

Hola, beautiful ones!! Welcome back & if you're new here, welcome! As you see by the title, this is all about my favorites for October!! Insane that the 2017 will be over soon and 2018 is right around the corner! Like , time, SLOW DOWN.  But, surprisingly, I don't have a ton of products this time, so it shouldn't take us too long to get through everything! So if you're interested in learning all about my  favorites for October, then just keep reading!

MAKEUP

• Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer [retails $19.00 travel size, $54.00 for 1 oz size, $75.00 for jumbo size]
• Every time I use this, my makeup lasts all day and I get ZERO oil breakthrough! This primer can be a little tricky: if you use too much, it can ball up and roll off the face. It can also make your face looks crepey and dry.  Honestly, I probably will stick to buying the travel size because this stuff is ESSPENSIVE. REAL ESSPENSIVE. Plus, a little goes a long way.
• Buxom Full on Lip Polish [retails $20.00]
• I'm not too into high end glosses because the drugstore has some great options, but these are so unique!! They do have shimmer in them, but it isn't chunky. They also have a nice minty feeling & are not overly sticky! There's tons of colors to choose from too! (Some of my favorites include Madison---an everyday pink, and Jasmine----a hybrid of purple and magenta)
• C.O. Bigelow Mentha Lip Tint in "Plum Mint"  [retails $7.50]
• This is very similar to the Buxom glosses, except the minty feeling is a bit stronger, which I also like!!
• AOA Studio brushes [retails $1.00 each]
• These are some of the best brushes I've tried!! They're super soft, apply my product nicely and they're dirt cheap---only $1 per brush!! I've especially been loving the F12 (large powder) and the F19 (highlighter).
• Anastastia Beverly Hills Lip Glosses [retails $16.00]
• These are the most pigmented glosses I own!! Like I said, I'm not crazy into high end lip products because the drugstore does a great job at those, but there's no other glosses like these!! They smell like vanilla cupcakes and cover my whole lips easily!! 
• Palladio Herbal Matte Lipstick---"Royal Rum" [retails $7.49]
• I feel so old school talking about a regular lipstick since the liquid lip trend is still going strong, but I absolutely love the Palladio lipsticks!! They're creamy, comfortable and pigmented! The color Rum Raisin was my absolute favorite, but it had expired and I had to end up throwing it out & I thought I would never find another color I loved like that one. Enter in Royal Rum!! It's more on the pink side (Rum Raisin was more brown), but I've been loving this lipstick for everyday wear! 
• NYX Slip Tease Full Color Lip Oil [retails $7.00]
• These are like the little sister of the Colourpop Ultra Satin Lips!! Only difference is that these are a bit thinner than CP, but they're just as comfortable , in my opinion. I only own two shades (Bang Bang---muted deep plum & Beyond Basic---medium nude), and have been reaching for them like crazy! I may get more in the future, but I highly recommend them!!
• Pixel Triple Boost Matte Powder---"08 Honey" [retails $6.99]
• I randomly found this brand at my local Kmart and wasn't really sure how to feel about it. Pixel is not a brand that's sold in a ton of places, so I didn't hear really anything about this. But this has really knocked my socks off!! It does a great job of mattifying the skin without making me feel super dry and cracked! This is giving my Covergirl Matte Powder a run for its money!!
• Glowy blushes
• I'm a blush fiend like nobody's business!!  Though I'm a sucker for a matte blush, lately I've been going ham with glowy blushes, especially when I'm in a rush. Now I do wear highlighter time to time, but sometimes I want something a little more subdued , and a nice glowy blush gives me just enough sheen and color combined!! Some of my current favorites include Bardot from Colourpop, Guava Glow from the Sephora Collection and Spice by Shea Moisture!!

HAIR CARE

• Bumble & Bumble Bb Curl Anti-Humidity Gel Oil [retails $34.00]
• This is phenomenal on my curls!! It clumps them together and defines them without them looking stiff and crunchy!! Plus, it provides moisture and shine , which is something my gels don't usually do!
• Jane Carter Solution Restore Creamy Conditioning Cleanser [retails $15.00]
• This cowash actually cleans my scalp very well when it's not quite dirty enough for a shampoo, and allows my curls to pop out even more!! Plus, I love the smell!!
• Carol's Daughter Marula Curl Therapy Softening Hair Mask [retails $24.00]
• Easily one of the best smelling masks I've used on my curls!! Plus it leaves my hair baby soft!
• Curls Passion Fruit Curl Control Paste [retails $8.99]
• I have a bit of a hate-hate relationship with Curls products, but this I absolutely love!! I apply this to the areas of my hair that are a bit too frizzy for my liking, and this tames them!! I also am interested in trying out the Blueberry Bliss version of this as well!!
• Mielle Organics Mint Almond Oil [retails $13.99]
• I've been reaching for this oil nonstop to massage it into my scalp (especially the slow growing front) , seal in moisture and take down my twists, and it's been working great!! Also the fact that Mielle Organics was created by an RN makes me smile just a tad more!!

MISCELLANEOUS

• The PJs
• This was one of the dopest shoes in the late 90s-early 2000s!!
• Brown Sugar "Perfect Edges 05" Half Wig [retails $24.99]
• I'm very new to the world of wigs, and so far I've been enjoying it!! I go for this one when I want a little more length , but not too much. The flatter hairline allows me to blend my baby hairs in nicely so it looks like my hair!
• Beshe "YU-212" Half Wig [retails $19.99]
• I wear this one the most!! This one is kinda similar to my regular twistout, except it's a little looser and about twice as big. Unlike my other one, I can leave a little of my real hair out to blend it in a little more if I  choose to. Sometimes I will, sometimes I won't, but I just love the versatility!

Well, to the end we have arrived!! Hopefully you've found some good products within this list to try out for yourselves! Let me know some of your  favorites or not so favorites from October! Thanks for reading, and like always, Stay Beautiful!
