October Favorites!
MAKE-UP
MAC Lipstick in Rebel {MAC}
I know that is by no means a new product, but I only recently
decided to pick it up. I love the
color. Every time I wear it, several
people ask me what kind it is. The only
downfall of the lipstick is that it bleeds a bit and it’s not overly long
lasting. It does stain the lips, so if
it has worn off, you will still have some color, but I recommend using a lip
liner to keep it in place. HAIR
Ion Repair Solutions Reconstructor Conditioner (red
lettering on bottle) {Sally Beauty}
I LOVE this conditioner.
I started buying it in the deluxe sample packets for my monthly glaze that
I add to my hair. It is not a conditioner
for daily use, but if you try to skip a few days between washing your hair, it
is good to use it a few times a week. It
is similar to a mask – you wash your hair with shampoo, and then leave it in
for 2-5 minutes after washing. It adds a
lot of shine and repairs split ends and the “dead” parts of my hair towards the
ends. The longer my hair gets, the sadder
that part of my hair seems to look. This
conditioner brings me back to life every time I use it. After purchasing the small packets for a
while, I decided to purchase the larger size which has a pump. It is a great price {around $8 at Sally
Beauty} and is worth every penny. It
also smells nice, too.
COSMETICS
Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser {drugstores}
I switched to this product after I finished a bottle of my
Aloette cream cleanser. I got lazy and
forgot to order another and was in need of a cleanser that same day. I was also starting to get breakouts in the
form of small groups of tiny bumps on my forehead and temple areas due to
excessive sweating in this southern summer heat. Although it is cooling down now, I’ve really
seen a difference in my skin since switching to this and I actually repurchased
a larger sized bottle this week. It is
for normal to oily skin and claims to not over dry and it really does a great
job – I don’t feel dry/tight after washing my face. It also does a great job at
removing excess makeup leftover from my cleansing wipes that I use prior to
washing my face.
Clinique Moisture Surge Moisturizer {Clinique, department stores}
I’ve had this product for quite a while and I only use it
when I’m overly dry, which happens a lot during the winter months. I have a super oily T-zone, but I also have a
lot of dryness on my nose. This
moisturizer is perfect for spot treating dry areas. I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone who is
consistently oily, as it does add a lot of moisture.
'Til next time, Pretties!
