October Favorites

Hey Girls,
     This is the first of hopefully my monthly favorites, but we will see.

1) Neutrogena Oil-free moisture for combination skin.
     This saved my skin, after I used a pretty awful face moisturizer in September. My face gets a little oily but that's something that I have recently been struggling with, so I am going to have to figure that out. Apparently everyone's skin type changes. But other than that it leaves my skin soft and prevents breakouts.

2) Almay Wake up Under eye Concealer
     This replaced my Garnier under eye roller, and I love this one more. It reduces the little bit of puffyness I do get. This not only gets rid of puffyness, but also has great coverage. I have very dark under eye circles,  it's apparently an Italian thing, and this covers them completely. I wear shade 010 Light

3) Maybelline One by One Volum' Express Mascara
     A great mascara for a simple day, I wear this to run errands quickly or look a little nicer for work. It lengthens, separates and curls amazingly. Normally I curl my eyelashes before mascara but with this I skip curling, I find it works better that way. However the wand is plastic and I don't like it that, I find its harsh on my eyelids when I try to get the base of my lashes.

4) NYC Sheer Red Lipstick
     A great red to transition into fall. I have a complete review about it here.


5) Sumita Brow Base
     This is actually a concealer, when I first received it in my Birchbox I was unsure of what to use it for. So I tried it on a pimple and it works great. I make an X over the pimple and then lightly rub it in. This is a creamy concealer that covers all redness and by the end of the day it's still there without being cakey. I hate anything cakey on my face.

Try Something New

Hey Beautiful,
     I have been wanting to try out some new lipstick colors, like a deep red's and burgundy's. I was just afraid that I would spend my money and end up not wearing the lipstick at all, like most of the lipsticks I buy.  So while in CVS the other day, I feel like I live there, I thought of something great. I passed the NYC make up displayed and realized that I could get a great starter lipstick for only $1. Not only that but the formula isn't that bad, the lipstick isn't drying at all. Surprisingly it's even a bit moisturizing. I got mine in Sheer Red, since it was a color closest to what I was looking for. There wasn't the greatest color selection and I'm not sure there is a large selection, but they have all the basic colors.
     So go bold, do something new ad brave. Try a new lipstick color you were other wise afraid to spend your money on.

Roman Holiday

Hey Beautiful,
     As a treat to myself the other day ( I have to find excuses for buying myself make up) I bought Nars Sheer lipstick in 'Roman Holiday'. It's a sheer baby pink and my favorite baby pink. With some I find that it that the pale color completely washed my face out. However since this is a sheer color it gives more of a baby pink lip. This doesn't wash you out and actually creates the perfect baby pink lip for your skin tone. It works with the natural tint of you lip. Personally I love this color.
     I don't only love the color but the formula. Now this isn't a long last lip color, however as it wears off throughout the day it doesn't become drying. Dry or sticky lipsticks are something I abhor. This is neither. It doesn't add any extra moisture to your lips, and it doesn't take any away. It goes on smooth, absolutely not grainy. This is a lipstick worth the splurge.
   Stay beautiful, Rose

Mac Attack

Hey Beautiful,
     I was in the mall today and stopped by my Mac to pick up two basic things that's for some reason I didn't have. So for some reason I have had the same blush for the past 5 months and I don't like it. Makes no sense right. Today I picked up my first Mac blush in "Coygirl", I love it. This color is a bright muted pink, that's perfect for my super pale skin tone. I also got one of the new Sheen Supreme lipsticks in "Behave Yourself." It's comparable to a lustre lipstick, therefore it doesn't dry out your lips. In the tube it looks like a Barbie pink and on Taylor's lips it is a Barbie pink (we got the same exact lipstick). However on me it looks as if I'm wearing a sparkly lipgloss and I don't like those. But this lipstick is an exception. You don't have the stickyness of a lipgloss and its not too sparkly. Either the way I like the way it looks.
