September Makeup Faves 2013

Hey everyone!  The month of September is nearly over, and so I realized it's time for me to share my September favorites.  This is my first month of blogging, and so this will also be my first monthly favorites.  What I'm thinking my plan will be in regards to these types of things is that I'll try to post these on the last Friday of each month (but obviously I didn't do that this time).  Let me know what types of favorites you'd like me to do (for example, a different one for makeup, skincare, food, all in one, etc.) so I can decide which specific types of favorites you're interested in reading about.  Also let me know if you would find it better if I just made a video and posted it here talking about my faves.  Remember, I'm here for YOU, and I need to know what you would prefer :).  Well, let's just get started then, hope you enjoy!  Leave your comments below!

1. Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 Foundation:  I've been loving this this month, the coverage and blendability is just amazing.  It's definitely the best foundation I've ever purchased, and I'll do a full review on it if you guys would like :).

2. Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer:  I have this in strawberry, it's a nice simple lip balm that is really soothing and feels minty when you put it on, yet it has a nice fruity scent.  I really love it and just about anything Burt's bees.

3. Maybelline Age Rewind Dark Circle Concealer:  This is really good for under-eyes, which I have quite dark circles, but this really helps cover them.  Probably the best under-eye concealer I have used thus far.  

4. Elf HD Blush: I mentioned this in my last haul, and I wanted to give you the chance here to know my opinion of it.  I got it in the shade headliner, which is a nice light pink, the right shade I like for blush.  It's super easy to apply and I blend it using my elf small stipple brush, it's really a great blush and only 3 dollars!

4. Physicians Formula Happy Booster Mood-Boosting Powder: This is a really awesome powder, to read more in detail on it click here.  Anyway I've really been loving it this month so thought I'd mention it again.

5. Hard Candy Glamoflauge Concealer:  This concealer really is heavy-duty and covers blemishes very well.  Only problem is the shade, it looks a little cakey on my skin since it doesn't quite match, but it's still really good.

6. Elf Volume Plumping Mascara:  This mascara is pretty awesome for just 3 dollars.  I'm not one who uses mascara very much, but when I do this is the one I use.  It has a big wand which is why it creates so much volume and I've been liking it quite a bit :).

7. Garnier Skin Renew Shine-Control BB Cream: I will be doing a full review on this soon, but I have to say, this is truly amazing.  It covers SUPER AMAZINGLY for a bb cream, and it does help control my oily skin.  Only problem is that the shade is a lot darker than my skin tone, and I wish they would have a light or fair/light shade for it :(.

8. Maybelline Baby Lips: I just recently got this one, which is Cherry Me.  I like it, it's a nice flavor and I like the color too.  To see my full review on it, click here.

7 Beauty Products to Get You Ready For Fall

Sad (or happy depending on your opinion of the seasons) as it is to say, summer will officially be over in just a few days.  This can not only create a change in the weather, but also a change in the way we do our makeup. There are certain special colors that match the season we are in that we can use to create specific looks.  I will be doing more posts on fall makeup/skincare, as well as my fall routine once I've chosen mine :).  But today I wanted to show you 7 products (most of which you can find in the drugstore) that I think are great for autumn.  Let me know what you think in the comments below and enjoy!

1. Covergirl 3 in 1 Outlast Stay Fabulous Foundation: Now that it's fall, you can feel safe going a bit more full coverage and it's a good time to get back Into foundations (if you haven't already).  This is my current favorite foundation because it covers so well and lasts super long, so I can usually just skip the step of my routine I hate using: concealer. If you want me to do a review on this, just let me know!

2. ELF Duo Eyeshadow Cream: I forgot to mention this in my last haul, but there was one mistake in my order.  Instead of getting the eyebrow mascara, I got this in the shades butter pecan.  It's only a dollar, and it's hard to tell from the picture, but I think it's a good duo with perfect shades for fall, with a nice light brown and then darker one also.  It seems good for beginners or a basic autumn look.

3. ELF Contouring Blush and Bronzing Cream:  This is another product I got in my last haul.  I think the blush inside is great for fall, a nice deeper color, and the contour is a nice shade also.  Both of these colors really made me think of this season, and they are only 3 dollars, so another awesome ELF product!

4.  Burt's Bees Replenishing Lip Balm:  This has been a long-time favorite of mine, especially during fall.  My lips tend to get quite dry and chapped around this time, and this seriously works wonders!  It also gives a nice natural color (in the flavor cherry) that's just right.  

5.  Physician's Formula Happy Booster Glow & Mood Boosting Powder:  I have so much to say about this product, and this brand, I'll probably have to do a separate review on it.  I've had it for quite some time, and it has lasted me so long and hasn't hit the pan still!  I love this because it has so many different shades you can use, with the regular powder for all over the face, the darker parts for bronzer, and even a pink heart for blush!  This product is great for anytime, but for some reason I felt like it's awesome for fall also.  I'd definitely recommend it for beginners, since it can be multi-purpose and can work for a variety of skin tones.  I just love it!

6.  Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Stain:  I feel like berry is a good color for fall, and this lip stain is fairly long-lasting and is a really beautiful color in my opinion.  

7.  ELF Matte Lip Color:  The last product on this list is another elf one (I just love this brand) and I got it in the shade coral, which I believe is another ideal shade for fall.  It's a pretty decent color and it only cost 3 dollars, so I would definitely recommend trying it out!
