SEPTEMBER Favorites (Finally)!

It has been so long since I wrote a post or uploaded a video. My new job has consumed most of my free time lately (which I love), but I've been missing the blog/YouTube world. Here is my latest video where I feature what I loved all September long. Enjoy :)

OH! Just to remind you, when I reach 500 subscribers I will be hosting a nice little giveaway to celebrate the milestone -- so spread the word and subscribe-away!

2-in-1 | Holiday Hair & Gold Glammed Up Eyes Tutorial

I've been loving this gold eye look lately that I created using the original Urban Decay Naked Palette. It is so incredibly easy and versatile -- definitely one of my favorite looks for the holidays. I also included a holiday hair/retro wave tutorial in the video. Watch below or read on to see how I did it :)

Glam Holiday Makeup Look

I'm loving bold lips for the holiday season so I decided to film a makeup tutorial using Urban Decay's Vice 2 Palette and two bold lip options. Watch the video from my channel below and read on for more information about the products I used! :)

Oh and by the way, I linked-up with Kristin over at Your Beauty Fix for her new link up Tell All Tuesdays! Check it out :)

Drugstore Haul!!!

Watch the video on my channel or read on to see what products I mentioned!

Current Favorite Lip Products

As of right now, I have six lipsticks that I am completely obsessed with.

While I usually stick to nudes (as I tell you on my YouTube channel), I have some favorite bright pinks, plums, and reds that I'm trying to include in my lipstick rotation more frequently. Take a look at my vlog below or keep on reading to see which lipsticks I'm loving from my collection!

L'Oreal Colour Riche Lipstick in 181 Sheer Linen

Love this L'Oreal lipstick. I like to think of it as more of a lip butter, though because it's super shiny and super smooth just like a lip butter. This is a go to product for me and is an awesome nude color. Although I'm in love with this, I've found that I have to keep reapplying due to its texture. 

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in 613 Just Enough Buff

So I'm starting to think Revlon has discontinued this shade or it's just sold out everywhere because it was next to impossible to find a link to it online except for Amazon. Regardless, this is my favorite nude shade I own, so if it is discontinued I'm going to have to attempt to find a new drugstore nude color to replace it...which won't be easy to do. I just can't say enough good things about this lipstick, and I constantly carry it with me. I feel weird if I leave the house without it, sadly.

YSL Rouge Volupte Silky Sensual Lipstick in 1 Nude Beige
So proud to own this baby! My very first YSL lipstick, and I'll admit, it was a little tough to splurge on this but I just love this lipstick. It's so smooth, creamy, pigmented...and did I mention it smells good!? You can't go wrong with this gorgeous pinky-nude color.
