October 2011 Favorites

Some of you are well aware (most aren’t) that I am unbelievably sick.  It seems like everything I do to try to get better just makes me feel worse…  I wanted to make a favorites video this month but I sound awful and… I look awful… I decided to skip the favorites video this month and opted to do a picture blog post!  :) Hope you understand.  

I didn’t wear makeup most of the days of the month, but when I did it consisted of these products the majority of the time…  And the rest of my favorites have been skincare items…

This blush has been my go-to all month for quick out-the-door looks.  It is probably my favorite NYX blush of all time and definitely will be a favorite for the fall months!

Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Raspberry Pie!

To be fair, I love them all equally.  I only pictured Raspberry Pie because it seems to go best with the looks that I have been wearing lately.  They are gloriously moisturizing, sheer but with great color payoff!  Don’t skip over these if you manage to see them out.

I will admit that before I got this mascara that I was a skeptic… Once I tried it (a few times) my mind was completely changed and I was blown away at the fantastic quality of this mascara.  One of my sisters has been using this for a long time and she swears by it but at the time when she was in the process of trying to convince me to use it I was a complete drugstore mascara freak.  I had no intentions of trying higher end/more expensive mascara brands.  I am still not completely convinced that they are worth it but I will say that this one is a favorite.  I also have a video where I talk about this mascara. 

Origins Brighter by Nature Skin Tone Correcting Serum

This may or may not have been in a favorites post before but it should be in every month’s post.  I love it.  The smell is amazing, I love the feeling of my skin once I have applied this.  I think that my skin tone is improving all the time.  This is the one thing from Origins that I will repurchase time and time again.  It is amazing!

This is a new purchase for me this month.  I am so happy with it that I can not put my feelings into words.  I use it at night to remove my makeup and I am amazed at how much comes off.  I have always went after my cleanser with a toner and I can usually see makeup on the cotton pad that I applied the toner to.  NOT SINCE USING THE CLARISONIC!  That speaks volumes because I always have cleansed my face twice before applying my toner and I now only do this one step that takes 60 seconds and wow… no makeup is there… Amazing!

This is the cleanser I have always used but I had to mention it due to the fact that I now realize JUST HOW AWESOME IT IS!  I have been using this with my Clarisonic and though it has always been good, I now deem it great.  What a powerful combination.  Just try it folks!  Seriously!

Thank you for reading my post!  I am sorry that I got this up later than usual… I have been feeling pretty craptastic over the past few days so I kept putting it off (in hopes of feeling good enough to make a video)! But anyway…  If you would like, you can find me on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook.  If you don’t already, follow me here.  Thank you for all of your support!  Don’t forget to enter my giveaway!
