October Favorites


October was probably the busiest month of my life! Sorry I've been MIA! But, I'm back and I've brought my favorites with me!

First off, my new favorite mascara from the drugstore.  L'Oréal's new Voluminous Butterfly Intenza.  The wand is super cool with it's double wand and it doesn't clump whatsoever! 

L'Oréal Volumious Butterfly Intenza, $8.99

Shout out to my daughter giving her mama a helping hand. :)

Another eye product I used a ton, this month, was L'Oréal's Infallible eye shadow in Iced Latte. This is a classic and a dupe for Stila's Kitten, but MUCH cheaper. 

L'Oréal Infallible Eye Shadow in Iced Latte, $7.99



One more eye product that I can't live without is Maybelline's Eye Studio gel liner in Blackest Black. I love using this on the days I want an intense liner. Especially for winged liner! I just use an eyeliner brush with it, like E.L.F.'s liner brush (that's only $3).

I have been loving the matte lipsticks from Maybelline.  The one I've been wearing the most is number 680, Mesmerizing Magenta. I could not get enough of this! Every time I reached for a lipstick, that was the one I picked with hesitation. A plus to these is they last FOREVER! 

Maybelline Color Sensational Mattes in Mesmerizing Magenta, $5.49

Isn't it gorgeous!

Next up, hair products. I went to the bank a few weeks ago and the teller had the best curls I had ever seen! So, like a woman would, I asked what she uses. I immediately went to CVS and picked it up. When I wear my hair naturally,  this helps my curls to stay frizz free. It has been a life saver! 

Marc Anthony Strictly Curls, $7.99
My favorite deep conditioner for the past  year has been, L'Oréal's Total Repair 5 Damage Erasing Balm. My hair feels so much healthier when I use this. I actually use the regular shampoo and conditioner too. But, this always seems to make my hair extra soft.

L'Oréal Total Repair 5 Damage Erasing Balm, $5.99
The best polish for this season, I'm sure you've heard of it, is OPI's Lincoln Park After Dark. It's dark purple and will last about two days before chipping. It is so pretty for Fall!

OPI, Lincoln Park After Dark, $9.99
Lastly, make-up remover. I don't have a eye cream but this eye make-up remover has actually helped to hydrate my under eye. All you need is a dime sized amount and rub the lotion over your eyes then gently remove it with a tissue. It gets off even the toughest mascara and leaves the area around your eyes feeling fabulous! 

Neutrogena Eye Makeup Remover Lotion, $8.49

Skin Care Routine: Night



 Don't you love the feeling of taking your make-up off at the end of a long day? I know I do! While I'm at it, I like to take a few more steps to really take care of my skin.

Step 1: Remove Make-Up

I recently ran out of make-up remover wipes so tonight I used the Almay Oil Free Gentle Eye Makeup Remover Pads. These are wonderful for waterproof mascara, they take everything off so easily. Apply slight pressure over closed eyes to help break up your mascara then wipe it away.

Almay Oil Free Gentle Eye Makeup Remover Pads $7.99

Swisspers Supreme Cotton Ovals $2.58

Step 2: Wash Your Face

Once you remove your make-up, you want to wash away any excess dirt and oil. Simple has a lot of wonderful products that are non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic. My skin can be super sensitive, so I use a lot of their products. I really like the Simple Moisturizing Facial Wash. Also, when I wash my face at night I like to use my Clarisonic Mia, just for a little extra help. And don't neglect your neck!

Simple Moisturizing Facial Wash $5.97

Clarisonic Mia $99.00

Step 3: Mask

Once a week (normally on Sundays for me) I enjoy a nice face mask. Maybe I just want to feel a little fancy! I love the Glam Glow masks! Those suckers are pricey but they are worth every penny! Luckily, I had a sample for tonight.

Glam Glow Youthmud Tinglexfoliate Treatment $69.99 for 1.7 oz

Step 4: Toner

I actually just started using a toner again a couple weeks ago and my skin looks so much firmer. I have also noticed that my breakouts are going away and staying away! Just apply it to a cotton ball and apply all over your face and neck. If you are prone to breakouts, try one like,  Neutrogena's Oil-Free Acne Stress Control Triple-Action Toner.

Neutrogena Acne Stress Control Triple-Action Toner $7.99

Step 5: Spot Treatment

If there is nothing to treat then skip this step. If so, take any spot treatment you have on hand and place a small amount on each breakout. I've been enjoying the one from last month's Ipsy bag, Clean Clinic Vanished Clear Spot Treatment.

Clear Clinic Vanished Clear Spot Treatment $35.00

Step 6: Eye Cream

Technically, what I use isn't really an "eye cream" but it's awesome nonetheless! I love the Simple Revitalizing Eye Roll-On. I especially like to put it in the fridge and let it get nice and cold before I apply it to my eyes. After rolling it on, I use my ring fingers to pat it into my skin. You always want to use your ring fingers under you eye because they apply the least amount of pressure.

Simple Revitalizing Eye Roll-On $10.99

Step 7: Moisturize

After you are done with everything, your face will probably feel quite tight and dry. Moisturizer helps to replenish all that you just took away. Apply it all over your face and neck. My favorite at the moment is Simple's Replenishing Rich Moisturizer.

Simple Replenishing Rich Moisturizer $9.97

Extra:

I like to use a lip scrub and lip balm after I remove my mask. For an awesome scrub, try Bliss Fabulous Sugar Lip Scrub (For a more budget friendly one, try the lip scrub by e.l.f.. It is wonderful too and just $3!) Then apply a moisturizing lip balm. EOS just came out with some new ones that are fabulous!

Bliss Fabulips Sugar Lip Scrub $18.00

EOS Visibly Soft Lip Balm in Vanilla Mint $3.49
