November 2013 Favorites

Hey Beautiful!

Happy (late) Thanksgiving to all who celebrated it yesterday here in the U.S. I hope you ate lots of food and had a great time surrounded by family, or just one on one with someone special if that's what you prefer. Every last Friday of the month I decided to post a monthly favorites list composed of the top 5 products I loved. It's fun to recap on the things you've used and loved the most and I thought why not share that with you!

Here is the list of what I loved this month:

St. Ives - Daily Hydrating Vitamin E Body Lotion

I have used this almost every night because of how cold and dry it's starting to get. The lack of moisture in the air combined with how many times I have to wash my hands while at work makes for very unhappy skin. St. Ives has helped sooth and protect my skin all month long.

Chapstick Moisturizer - Green Apple

Since we are already on the topic of dry skin, I found this chapstick a couple months ago at my local grocery store. I love green apple products and I also like the different flavors that Chapstick makes. Last year I got an apple cider flavor and it was amazing. This lip product is my go-to in the fall and winter. 

Lorac 3D Liquid Lustre - Diamond

I know I just did a post on these, but I still can't get over how much I love them. I really like all of them a lot, but I figured putting them all on here was kind of cheating. The Diamond shade is a nice touch to any look because it's neutral and goes with everything. Use it all by itself or use it to spruce up some eyeshadow, either way it's definitely awesome. You can find my review on this product here.

Starlooks Kohl Eye Pencil - Obsidian

I love love love this eyeliner. Maybe it's because I only ever buy myself $1 eye pencils from the drugstore, but either way, this is like heaven. It goes on so smoothly unlike any other eyeliner I've EVER had. And you don't have to work for a dark line, it's super pigmented. I love Starlooks pencils.

Be a Bombshell Lip Crayon - Shameless

I love this new product I got in my Ipsy bag because it is one of the only lip colors I've actually liked on myself. I don't know what it is about lip colors, but to me it just never looks right. But this one is perfect. 

What are your favorites for this month? Do you disagree with some of the products I posted? Let me know why in the comments below!

Ipsy's November 2013 Glam Bag: Glam It Up

Hey Beauties!

I just got this month's Ipsy Glam Bag on Monday and I'm really excited to share what I got with you guys. This month was really awesome because we got an additional product on top of the 4-5 we normally get. Since Michelle Phan curates the bags for Ipsy she gave out a product from her new line, em michelle phan, to all the subscribers. If you haven't subscribed to Ipsy yet, you probably should. I can't stop raving about it.

Here is the list of the products I received this month:

• Be a Bombshell Lip Crayon - Shameless
• Starlooks Gem Eye Pencil - Amethyst
• em michelle phan Waterliner Intense Color Eyeliner - Amazing Grey
• Kiss everEZlashes Lash Double Pack - Lash 03
• Pixi Beauty Bronzer - Subtly Suntouched

I've already tried the Be a Bombshell Lip Crayon. It's an awesome shade for my skin tone and it's a creamy formula that feels nice. I'm going to do a review on Starlooks pencils in the near future because I love them so much and want to share that with you! 

If there are other things that you would like me to include in these Ipsy posts just let me know. As of right now I'm trying to find a good way to share them with you without making them too short. Also if you would like to join Ipsy you can use my referral link here or if you don't want to be pressured into using it you can use this link.

If you're an Ipsy member, how did you like your bag this month? If not, what's your favorite makeup brand and why?

Thanks for reading!
