September Favorites (late!)

So as September is back to school month for most people, my favorite things from the month were mostly about convenience. I used a lot of these products daily!

So first is DKNY's Be Delicious in Fresh Blossom. I love this scent for fall as it smells just like apples. My boyfriend likes it too. He told me it smells like an apple pie, and really is there anything better than smelling like apple pie this time of year? The only warning I have about this product is to go lightly with it. It lasts for a very long time and can be  overpowering if you use too much. I would suggest using one spray on the wrist and then tapping it everywhere else you want it. If I use too much, I get a headache.

The next product I really love, in September especially, is Bath and Body Work's pocket bac. Pictured here is the scent "Island Margarita" but I must have 10 others. I have them attached to all of my bags and I keep on in my pocket at work. I really don't know what I would do without these puppies. Sometimes you just need to sanitize and Bath and Body Works lets you do it with flair.

So the next thing I have pictured is a MAC lip gloss in Viva Glam VI (I also have the lipstick in the same shade name). I love this as it is very very long lasting and well pigmented. I have had this gloss forever and I would definitely say it is my go-to gloss for everyday stuff. I tend to stick to more natural pigments when it comes to lip stuff so this suits me perfectly. When my lips are washed out, this gloss pumps them up. I really don't have enough good things to say about it.

So the next thing is MAC shade stick in Street Cool. I can't tell you have nice it is to have this when you don't have enough time to do your eyes. I just slap this on and I'm set for the day. It stays in place for a very long time and it looks good! I know that MAC isn't the only company that makes these kinds of eye crayons so I would definitely advise people to go pick up an eye crayon in a neutral color for those days that you just don't have time to go all out.

The final product in my September favorites is the Too Faced Ooh La Rouge blush/bronzer combo in Avant Garde. For convenience I like this even better than blush sticks. I use each color and don't have to worry about using my fingers to blend it in. I love the way the colors work together and it has been my go-to blush/bronzer for a while now.

Well I hoped you liked this! Please leave questions or comments. Tell me what your favorites are!

My Current Top Ten Favorites.

My favorite things seem to change very frequently but there are a couple that always stay the same. I tend to like lip make-up more than other types so top ten lists will probably have a lot of lip supplies on them in the future. However, I think this one is more balanced. Enjoy!

1.

 The Naked Palette is great because all the shades are neutral and go great with any eye color. Any true make-up fanatic has this in their collection as far as I've seen. This is my most reached-for eye shadow palette. It is well worth the money!

2.

 This was the first Laura Mercier product that I purchased and I fell in love with the brand right away. This bronzer is the perfect color to give my (very very light) skin a natural tanned look. It brushes on very easily and it is just amazing! The color is Dune Bronze.

3.
 Neutrogena Clear Pore Oil-Eliminating Astringent is what cleared up my face. This stuff is like gold in a bottle. I'm allergic to benzoyl peroxide so salicylic acid is the only way to go. Also, face washes with acne treatment in them always dry my face out too much. I use this as a toner after I wash my face and right before I moisturize and it works like a charm. If it stings, you know it's working!

4.
 Sephora Instant Moisturizing Cream makes my face feel like a baby's butt. I'm not even joking. My skin has never been this good before, all because of my facial regimen and this little gem.

5.
 Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer spf 25 oil free is really great. I use it as a foundation in the spring and summer time because my face doesn't need as much coverage. Not only does it have sun protection in it, but it's also oil free which is a must for my skin. This is in the color Porcelain.

6.
 The Urban Decay Primer Potion is the best eye primer that I have used yet (and I've tried the other favorite contenders). The color comes out the best on this primer and it lasts the longest as well. I've never had a problem with creasing with this stuff. I will always repurchase this!

7.
 What can I say about Buxom lip gloss? It is probably my favorite lip gloss in the world right now. I want every color. I especially love how they all have stripper names. Bravo Bare Escentuals! This one is in the color Bunny.

8.
 MAC Cremesheen is like a gloss and a lipstick in one, even though it is just a lipgloss. I love putting this on, especially because it smells delicious. This one is in Bare Again.

9.
 Rose Salve is amazing. I use this very frequently. I have it in the knockoff Bath and Body works version, but I think they are pretty much the same. It smells great and it is good for a bunch of different things. I use it on my lips primarily but I have also used it on my cuticles and on chapped skin. This is the most useful thing I have ever purchased!

10.
This is just a sample that I got at a Clinique event but I will definitely buy the full size. It is the Clinique All-Over Face Color in Almond Blossom. It is beautiful. It is the perfect medium between a blush and a bronzer for me. I have been reaching for this every day lately.

I hope you enjoyed this! If you have any questions ask them in the comments!
