October Favorites

This month's favorites are all make-up related....except for one.

My adventures in make-up continue and I am practicing as much as I can. I am always on the hunt for what the make-up world labels as "dupes" of more expensive make-up at affordable prices. We all know the high end cosmetics are fabulous, but all my finds are drugstore gems!

This Sonia Kashuk quad was featured in a Target ad a few weeks back. Of course, I spotted the glitter/shimmer and decided...it must be mine. There was only ONE left and it was on sale, so I grabbed it. It's subtle color and great payoff for sparkle, and I ♥ it.

All the make-up guru's on YouTube and Blogger talk about NYX products and tons of them use these NYX jumbo pencils as an eyeshadow base. I have found them useful as a base, eyebrow filler, eye liner....you name it....you can use these for it. Super creamy and go on super easy.

More NYX! I stumbled into Ulta for the buy one, get one 50% NYX sale and the glitter drew me in. Literally it sucks me in, I pick it up and it won't let me put it down. Strange, I know. But I adore these glitters. I throw down the jumbo pencil as a base and tap these gorgeous sparkles at my lower lash line to open up my small eyes. Ah, ♥ indeed.
My personal make-up guru, Kristi has long been my idol for her perfected eyeliner. Her lines are crisp, sharp, amazing. Of course I typically put on my eyeliner AFTER my morning coffee (on weekends at least) and my hand is jumping all over the place. I bought this Sonia Kashuk angled eyeliner brush on recommendation of the YouTube make-up guru's and I have been very pleased. It has made learning so much easier. I can get pretty sharp lines and it really helps on the cat-eye look!

No, I did not buy one of these shoe shaped baths....but I ran across it on one of the many fashion/style blogs I follow and I had to share. They are designed in different colors and styles, just like your favorite shoe. Hmm, Christmas list maybe? HA!
