November Favorites!

Okay guys, so this is probably my favorite favorites post of the year. SO many goodies to share with y'all! Let's go ahead and jump into it :)


Shew.. look at all of these goodies! 

 Body/Hair

I bought some 100% natural Shea Butter and holy moly.. this stuff is the bomb.com for the colder months! My skin has gotten so dry lately that lotion just wasn't enough for me. I put this on right before I go to bed and when I wake up, my skin is hydrated and feels amazing. A winter must have!

I recently bought the Alterna Bamboo Smooth Anti-Breakage Thermal Protectant Spray (what a mouth full) but loveeeeeeeeeeee. I wash my hair 1-2 times a week and when it's damp I will spray this on my ends and it detangles my hair and when my hair dries, it is just so much more easy to style the way I want to. 

I got the Algenist Retinol Firming and Lifting Serum from Sephora as a sample. I got this because I've heard a lot of beauty gurus talk about how this brand is amazing and they always snag samples when Sephora offers them. I found out why they snag the samples after I checked the prices of everything.. lord have mercy. But anyways, I see the hype for this brand! I have been wanting to try retinol for a while now. I had a bad experience with a Neutrogena one a while back so I ditched it but I wanted to try different ones. This one is so good for sensitive skin which is what I have and it hasn't broken me out or anything like that. It will make your skin a little dry (which is normal) so make sure to put a moisturizer on after putting any retinol cream on.

Makeup


First off, just look at those swatches.. have mercy. SO gorgeous.

Bite Beauty High Pigment Pencil in Pomegranate: New favorite lipstick of LIFE. I want to wear this everyday, everywhere, 24/7.. I love it.

Flower Beauty Velvet Lipstick in Set Me Freesia: New favorite nude lip. I recently got rid of all my makeup products that tested on animals (which I'm still researching because I want no part of that.) So needless to say, all of my favorite nudes were from brands who did test on animals, so I bought this on a whim and I actually really, really like it. Go Drew Barrymore!

Josie Maran Coconut Watercolor Eyeshadow in Rio De Rose Gold: The most amazing pigmented eyeshadow I have ever tried in my life. I officially never want to be without this amazing product. I wore this the other day and it literally lasted all day long with no eye primer or setting spray. Obsessed.

100% Pure Fruit Pigmented Concealer: I wear this on days where I don't wear a lot of makeup but somehow it manages to make me look so fresh faced. I put it in my t-zone and underneath my eyes and it's just so natural looking. I really like this concealer for everyday wear.

Tarte Skinny SmolderEYES Amazonian Clay Waterproof  Liner in Sunstone Bronze: First of all, when they say waterproof.. they MEAN waterproof. Secondly, this color alone I think would suit every eye color out there. Brown eyes, blue eyes, hazel eyes, green eyes.. I think it would just be absolutely gorgeous on anyone. I wore this on my waterline with the Josie Maran eyeshadow and I seriously had to refrain from taking too many selfies because the eye look was just so on point.
