October Beauty Wishlist

My never-ending beauty wishlist is back at it again with more products that I've had my eye on. I'd have the say the star of this month's wishlist is the Anastasia Beverly Hills brand, as I have two palettes featured below. I also am really loving the look of the Gerard Cosmetics lipstick in the shade 1995 and want to try it for myself! Keep on scrolling to see what other beauty items that made it on my wishlist!

I have had my eye on this contour kit by Anastasia Beverly Hills for a while now. Use the darker shades to sculpt out your cheekbones, and the lighter shades highlight and set your under-eye concealer!



This is another Anastasia Beverly Hills product that I've heard great things about. The Maya Mia palette has the perfect matte shades for fall with a tiny pop of color.

I think I may just need this 1995 lipstick by Gerard Cosmetics. Not only does it come in gold packaging, but the color is the perfect representation of the 90s lip.

I know this Nars blush in Deep Throat has been around for a while, but I feel like it is the color I have been searching for. It has a deeper peach tone than anything I already own with subtle shimmers.

This Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer not only is supposed to smell delicious, I've also heard this is a great overall bronzer to have in your makeup collection. Definitely want to try this one out!

I am not familiar with too many face primers, but am looking for one to fall in love with. I need one that can smooth out my skin and keep my makeup lasting all day. I have heard great things about this  Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer and the way it makes your skin feel.

Brand Spotlight: Fall Styles

Three things I love: shoes, handbags, and lipstick. Three brands I love: Sam Edelman, Michael Kors, and MAC Cosmetics. Put all that together and you get today's post! I wanted to feature these particular brands because I believe in their quality and price range. Yes, they can all seem a little expensive to some; however, these brands are priced at something I am willing to invest in. The shoes usually last me a few fall seasons. You'll see me using the same bag all year round. My MAC lipstick collection is continuously growing and I like having the option to change it up with different makeup looks. Below are some of the items I would want to purchase as new additions to my fall wardrobe and makeup collection.

September Beauty Favorites

Can you believe it's already October?! As we say our goodbyes to the month of September, I would like to share with all of you the beauty products I have been loving all month long (and will continue to use during the month of October). I love reading monthly favorites posts because it lets me know about products that other people recommend and are worth trying. There are so many products that exist today, so it can be difficult at times to narrow down what products to actually use. Hopefully this post can give you some ideas of what to try next. Feel free to share your favorites with me as well!

1. The Anastaisa Beverly Hills Brow Wiz has been a favorite of mine for months. I recently tried a different shade, which I think works better for my brow color. This one is in the shade 'Medium Brown' and is cool toned as opposed to 'Soft Brown' (what I was previously using), which is more warm toned.


2. The next favorite is a MAC blush in the shade 'Melba' and I have been reaching for it everyday. It gives my cheeks a light warm flush with a little bit of peach. I tend to reach for more neutral toned blushes, and I feel this one just gives me a little extra color.


3. My Too Faced Perfect Lips Lip Liner in the shade 'Perfect Nude' has been my go-to lip product for the past few weeks. I start out by lining my lips, and then finish with filling in my entire lip with this pencil. I love it because it gives me that matte look with a mauve/nude tint. It also lasts longer than a lipstick would.


4. I have heard so many great things about the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer and I just had to try it. I have heard its been compared to Nars Concealer; however, is much cheaper. Although I've never tried any concealer by Nars, this one I have been loving since I purchased it. It has a nice light formula that doesn't crease.


5. For some reason my chin has been breaking out more than usual and my Neutrogena Rapid Clear Spot Gel has been a lifesaver. I've noticed that my blemishes have been clearing quickly since I started applying the spot gel to my problem areas.


6. I purchased my Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector in the shade 'Rose Gold' a few weeks ago and have been using it ever since. I apply this as a highlight to my cheekbones for a nice sheer glow. I think this shade is the perfect highlight for the fall season.


7. For some reason I stopped using my It's a 10 Mirale Leave-In Plus Keratin during the month of August (and I have no idea why!). I started using it again before blow-drying my hair and really noticed the difference! I am running out and will have no choice but to purchase another (it is on the expensive side, but still can be found at the drugstore). It really just makes the overall outcome of my blow-dry so much better and frizz free.
