I can't believe it's already time for another monthly favorites! November has flown by! I'm so so so excited for December! I love the holiday season its the best time of year in my opinion. PLUS after December comes my birthday month... and yes all of January is MY MONTH :) But I digress lets get into the products I've been loving this month!
I'm a sucker for makeup brushes BUT I'm a cheapskate when it comes to them! I hate spending money on makeup tools I don't know why! I barely could bring myself to buy some of the Real Techniques original brushes and even though the new Bold Metals ones look amazing I just can't spend $20 on a single brush. So since I'm subscribed to Birchbox I love using my aces points on their FABULOUS shop and I got this Coastal Scents Pearl set! It comes in a very professional case and the brushes are amazing. The set comes with 16 brushes and they are basically the only brushes you need so it's a great set for those new to beauty but still want a nice brush set. The whole set costs $39.95 but if you're a Birchbox member you can save up your points like I did and get it for even cheaper! I've raved about them to anyone who says they are looking for or needing new brushes so I figured I'd share them with all of you lovely peeps!
I've finally jumped on the BeautyBlender bandwagon. Like I said I HATE spending a lot of money of makeup tools, so I never really understood why everyone raved and loved these sponges so much. I mean I got a trio of off brand sponges from Tj Maxx for like $10 and you can buy those bags of white sponges for like $5... BUT after a lot of research and seeing tons of people love they way it helped I took the plunge and caved and I'm so happy I did. It really does help make my new foundation (I'll get to that in a moment) apply flawlessly. I don't love they way it soaks up make up and cleaning it isn't so great but when your face looks good what else could you want!
I have quite an oily t-zone so I really struggle to find foundation that one lasts all day and 2 doesn't look terrible when I go to do a touch up. I can honestly say I have found my HOLY GRAIL foundation, Makeup For Ever Ultra HD foundation is the best foundation of all foundations ever! It's such a natural finish and while isn't not really a heavy full coverage foundation it doesn't allow you to hide all of those nasty imperfections.




If you know anything about me you'll know I love Rimmel lipstick and Kate 107 is my favorite of all time. BUT this month I thought I'd try something a little darker. This lipstick is called Bordeaux and it's gorgeous! I have to say I'm pretty happy with this find, I'll be wearing it a lot during this the winter when I'm not wearing a traditional red lip.

What are some things you've been loving this month? Let me a comment with suggestions.
Until next time,
