| Monthly Beauty Favorites |
This month I had some standout favorites. First, I will start with makeup items. A palette that really shocked me was the Too Faced Just Peachy palette(Review). I don't normally go for all matte palettes, and if I'm using one I will usually incorporate a shimmer shade. I was surprised that I liked to use this palette on it's own and create matte looks. It made me step out of my comfort zone and try something new. The shades are so pretty, and I was happy that the smell wasn't as powerful as the Sweet Peach palette. I also pulled out my Makeup Revolution Bronze and Glow and the bronzer suits my fair skin really well. I don't have to worry about it being too pigmented and I can put it on quickly without being too careful. The highlighter isn't a favorite but it does look nice. For mascara, I've been using my Roller Lash by Benefit. It separates my lashes really nice and adds length and volume. I really like the shape of the wands for my upper and bottom lashes.
Skincare, I found a few stand out items. The Delectable Triple Moisture lotion by Cake Beauty is a new favorite. I'm very finicky with lotions, I don't like it being too greasy and often I find lotions make my dry skin itch more. This lotion is not greasy, smells fantastic (Coconuts) and it absorbs into my skin really quickly. I can use it after a shower or on it's own. I will need to buy the bigger size tube soon. I also repurchased the Coconut Water Facial Mist by Pearlessence. This comes to our Winners store occasionally and I've been waiting to repurchase. It has a great nozzle that sprays very evenly, and it doesn't feel tacky on my face. I will continue to repurchase when I see these in stock.
Nails...I'm really bad at taking care of my nails but i'e been trying. My nails are very brittle and I have trouble growing them out. I decided to start keeping them painted and using a strengthen to help them out. It's actually been working because they've been growing and feel much strong. I've been using Essie Treat Love and Color*. It's a strengthener that adds a faint amount of color. I have one that leaves my nails looking frosty and one that leave a hint of purple. If I don't have time to really paint my nails and do a top coat, I use this in the meantime. I've also been using the Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear polishes, and they last really well. To remove all of these products, I've been using a Quo nail polish remover with a sponge inside the container. It works well and it less messy.
These are the products that stood out to me in September. I really tried new products this month and found some favorites. Have you tried any of these? Were they a favorite of yours?

Roller Lash did nothing for my lashes at all :-( And have you tried Sally Hansen Nail Rehab? It's another amazing base coat/nail treatment.

I haven't tried the Nail Rehab. I will look for it. Mascara's can be so hit or miss. It really depends on your lashes.
DeleteThat palette looks so, so pretty! xx

I've never tried facial mist, bc does it give you a glow? and how long does it last?

Some mists give you a glow. I use it more to set my face and take away the powdery look. It melts the powder products together.
DeleteI haven't tried any of these, though the Too Faced Just Peachy palette has been calling out to me with its stunning shades! Unfortunately I already got the Sweet Peach palette so I don't think I'll be getting this anytime soon :(

Loved your review. I am dying to get the too face palette. I think I'll go this week I can't wait any longer, lol.
ReplyDeleteFantastic monthly faves! I always find Benefit mascaras to be really good! I'll have to try that Essie polish too, as I find it hard to grow my nails.

Cake has the best body and hand creams!! They smell so good and I love that they aren't greasy. I have the coconut one on the go right now! I also love the Pearlessence mists. I have the rose one right now but I would like to try the coconut one if I ever see it in stock at Winners again!
ReplyDeleteI am still trying to figure out my fall favorites, my Transition is slowly These days. But I have already decided that i am in dark, vampy Colors on my nails. Mine used to be very brittle as well, but I do Keep them short, which helps.

I was surprised myself with the new Too Faced Peachy Palette. They did a really good job with it. Cake Beauty has nice beauty products. It's been awhile since I've used their products.
