September Favorites


























HAIR



Long toothed Detangler Comb $1


I picked mine up from a Family Owned Dollar store.


This makes quick work of detangling hair. Cannot live without this!

 
With the arrival of colder weather, I was excited to bring out my full cap and half wigs again. It was too hot to wear them during the summer months.
Freetress Bali Girl
and Model Model Carmen topped my list!



SKIN

Sunflower Cosmetics Hand and Body Lotion $1

*Olive Oil formula has the least offensive scent that does not clash with other scents I wear. Many of the other scents are too strong!





Why I love them:




- Very moisturizing.



- Lasts all day long.



- Small package fits perfectly in my makeup bag/purse.

 
NAILS

Glitters!



I don't know when I will get tired of
the BlackBerry Manicure.


Business on the top, and party on the side.


Tricked out thumbs that pop when texting.
Great for the young at heart.











CHEEKS

NYX Cream Blush


Why I Love Them:

- Great base for powder blush

- Long Staying Power

- Highly Pigmented





LIPS

NYX Lip Liner Pencils


Why I love them:



- Highly pigmented and creamy!

- Application is very smooth.

- More affordable, dupes for costly high end lip liner pencils.


A must have for every collection.




BRUSH

Deluxe Oval Shadow Brush $2.39
from Coastal Scents


Why I love it:




- It's perfect for applying highlighter or a wash of allover color.


- Blending with transition color seems effortless with this brush.

Pro Eyelash Defining Comb $3.89
from Coastal Scents


Why I love it:

- Separates my lashes before or after mascara application.

- Great for removing excess product and clumps.

*Would love it if they included a plastic guard for this product. The teeth are very sharp. One has to be really careful when grabbing for this and using it so closely to the eye area. Not for the clumsy.

FASHION TREND

Animal Print
Could not get enough of this!





Nails Of The Day (NOTD) - e.l.f. CHOCOLATE
















(Diffused Sunlight with Flash)

Almost a week old - hence the tip wear. I really wanted to share this though.
I love it.

NK Ridge Filler Base Coat 1x
e.l.f. CHOCOLATE - Opaque with just 2 coats. This is 3
NK Express Dry Top Coat



The first coat was thin and streaky! I was really worried.
The second coat provided more coverage.
The final result was more of a bittersweet chocolate.
This was unexpected, as it ended up being much darker than the the color showing through the bottle. I think it's chic. It would probably make an awesome base for some gold Konad Nail Art.
