September Favorites

Hello, beauties! Welcome back & if you're new here, welcome! We have finally arrived with my monthly favorites for September! September is one of my favorite months because it means fall is officially upon us!! Although summer is nice, fall just gives me a completely different vibe that I 100% stand for! So, if you're interested in learning all about my September favorites, then just keep reading!
  • Too Faced Hangover Good to Go Skin Protecting SPF 25 Moisturizer: I adore this moisturizer!! Sometimes, I'll use this as a priming moisturizer and go right into my makeup and I love how healthy my skin looks after!! It has also inspired me to bust back out the Hangover primer since it'll soon be cooling down.
  • Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Lotion SPF 30: another non irritating sunscreen without breaking the bank! It wears great  under makeup since there's zero white residue!
  • Wet N Wild Photofocus Rose Toner: super convenient with it being in a spray bottle, so I don't have to bust out my cotton pads all the time! I'll also sometimes on my chest or any dry patches for some extra hydration!
  • Wet N Wild Photofocus Rose Multi use Oil: totally a good affordable alternative to the Korres Wild Rose oil! I love how soft and smooth my face feels, as well as my hands!
  • Truly Organic  Black Jelly Blemish Treatment Body Serum : another TJ Maxx find that stole my heart! this definitely has kept my chronic bouts of folliculitis at bay!! Whenever I get a flareup, I'll apply this to the area and within a couple days, they're totally gone!! 
  • The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG: when I tell you this is such a game changer, I STAND 1000000% for this! Working 12 hour nights in nursing can make me look and feel hella tired, but since using this, I look so much more awake and my dark circles have gone down a ton! 
  • Arm & Hammer Essenitals Deodorant: again, with being a nurse, I also can sweat a good bit with all my moving around. But I had been looking for an aluminum free deodorant that actually works since I was having some folliculitis flareups also in my underarms. and this has been my jam for the last couple months!! How I know it's the truth is when I took it to Mexico last month and it was super hot, but I stayed pretty dry all day!!
  • Korres Greek Yoghurt Foaming Cream Cleanser: usually I'm not a fan of cream cleansers, but this one I love!! My skin has been more hydrated , softer and overall in better shape since using this!!
  • IT Cosmetics Confidence in a Cleanser: such a gentle but effective cleanser!! I've reached the age range where I have to slowly integrate more anti aging into my skincare, because I know I won't be young forever. Since using this, I've noticed my skin is a lot softer and smoother overall!!

  • COVERGIRL Ultra Fine Brow Pencil: very precise and nice for the hair like strokes I get, especially when outling my brows!
  • Joah Beauty Precision Brow Pencil: this one's a little thicker, so I found myself using this for filling in my brow!
  • Colourpop Brow Boss Gel: if you love feathery, full brows.......RUN , don't walk, RUN and grab this brow gel!! and it lasts all day long!! If I love their clear one this much, I can only imagine how well the colored one will be!
  • Sephora Collection Ultra Shine Lip Gel--- Browny Touch: another gorgeous nude brown mauve gloss to add to my ever growing collection!! Plus, these aren't super sticky!
  • Too Faced Sweet Peach Creamy Peach Oil Lip Gloss----Poppin' Peach: the creamiest lip gloss/oil I've ever used in my life!! It's really thin, but very pigmented!!
  • Revlon Crystal Aura Glow Lip Oil----Pretty Wicked: a beautiful peach nude lip oil to add over top my lip liners or on its own for an everyday look!!
  • Milk Makeup Kush Mascara: if you want thicker, fluttery lashes, you gotta grab this mascara!! I think I got a point perk of it from Sephora and since I've cracked it open, I've been hooked! I usually don't get excited about high end mascaras, but this one is creeping its way into my heart!
  • MAC lip pencil----Chestnut: a staple in my lip liner collection! I've worn this with a full beat, minimal beat or no makeup at all, and it looks good with just about any lip color of on its own!! I was sleep on this liner for way too long, but I'm all the way woke about it now!
  • Elf 16 hour Camo Concealer + Becca Aqua Luminous Perfecting Concealer: my new favorite concealer cocktail!! I love the coverage the ELF one gives me, but it can be a bit drying depending on the primer/foundation combo I use, so I'll use the Becca one for a little extra hydration and maneuverability when blending my concealer out!
  • CoverGirl Vitalist Healthy Glow Highlighter: these are perfect for that lit from within glow!! Sometimes, I've worn this just on top of my moisturizer and a little powder & I looked really healthy and effortless!
  • Kokie Powder Contour Palette---Deep/Dark: I'm shocked I love this as much as I do!! When first seeing it, I wasn't convinced. But one day, my bronzer was a bit too warm, so I used the bronzer shades in the palette to cool it down and it totally worked! Also, the brightening powders hold my concealer in place all day!
  • Revlon Powder blush----Hot Cheeks : I used to hate Revlon's blush formula, but they since have revamped them and this color is everything and then some! It's a gorgeous rose berry with golden glitters that aren't insanely obnoxious on the cheek! Plus, it lasts most of the day!
  • ELF Beautifully Bare #107 brush: my new favorite blush brush!! Usually, I'm all about my angled powder brushes for my blush, but lately I've grabbed this brush and it deposits just the right amount of blush to my cheeks!
  • ULTA Precision Foundation brush: the perfect undereye bursh!! Aside for sweeping liquid foundation on, I blend out my concealer and apply my undereye setting powder with ease!!  You could also use this for cream  contour/bronzer as well! I usually grab one during one of Ulta's 21 days of beauty sales each year, and likely will snag another one or a couple!
  • After The Dance----Fourplay/El DeBarge: originally done by the late great Marvin Gaye, I've actually loved this song for many years but never knew who sang it. Let's just say it's been on repeat ever since ❤💕💋


Well, that is all my favorites for September!  Let me know: what are some of your  favorites and non-favorites for September? I'd love to know!! As always , thanks for reading and Stay Beautiful!

Review: Nubian Heritage African Black Soap

Hello, all! Happy new year to everyone!! I came on to give my review on the second out of the three soaps I received from Nubian Heritage---the African Black Soap. Price: $4.99 on NH website and at the Vitamin Shoppe (5 oz size) Specs: This soap claims to be  acne-fighting,  detoxifying and healing.  Also, it was designed for people with   combination, oily, sensitive, and problem skin  , however it has been said that people with ALL skin types can use this as well :) but, back to the specs. Like I mentioned on my review on the Shea Butter soap , on the container is a brief history about how Nubian Heritage got its start and the ayurvedic properties about the key ingredients--which for this product line is shea butter, oats, aloe, palm ash, plaintain peel, tamarind extract and vitamin E. Palm Ash, Tamarind & Plantain Peel--soothing properties ; minimizes the appearance of superficial skin imperfections Oats--brightens and evens skin tone ...

November Favorites

Hello, my loves! Welcome back & if you're new here, welcome! I can't believe that I'm here with my November beauty favorites!! Like the year is legit almost  done. 31 days left before 2018 makes its grand entry. I do have quite a bit this month, so if you're interested in learning all about my  favorites for November,  then just keep reading! SKIN/BODYCARE Eco Tools Konjac Cleansing Sponge : so great for helping spread my cleanser more evenly on my face versus using my hands or a rag! I've also noticed that it has helped my skin be a lot smoother, too! Shea Moisture Superfruit Complex Body Lotion : such a thick, hydrating lotion !! Only thing though is I would change the packaging--maybe opt for a jar instead of a bottle because it's thicker that a traditional lotion, but thinner than a body butter. Nip & Fab Kale Fix Protecting Shot : my skin has been more balanced lately since incorporating this oil!! Since it's colder, my skin tends t...

Makeup Colourpop Element of Surprise palette : this is probably one of the most unique palettes I own! When I first saw it, I had no interest in picking it up, but when I saw it in Ulta & swatched the shade Rayon, (metallic dark coral with blue-green duochrome) I fell in love!! I never thought I'd love this palette, but I'm pleasantly surprised! Colourpop x KathleenLights Dream St. Palette :  another great option for a few pops of color + neutral shades! Unlike the Element of Surprise, this one is more a warm toned color scheme .  Also, I...
