Over the month of September I discovered a few new products I fell in love with... I also discovered some old favourites and fell in love with them all over again.
Beauty Products: the NYX Micro Brow Pencil. I never thought I would like a brow pencil, I've always filled my brows in with a powder or eyeshadow and then I bought this pencil... I don't think I will ever go back to a powder again. I really love the way the fine pencil makes hair like strokes and fills in my brows evenly without making them look too overdone or underdone.
Maybelline Lash Sensational- I have been using this mascara for a few months now and I really like it. I like how the brush evenly coats all my lashes and combs them out as well as giving my lashes a bit of a curl. I also really love the formula, it doesn't flake or smudge.
Maybelline Falsies- This is an old love newly found again. I LOVE the combo of this mascara brush used on my lashes with the Lash Sensational. Although the mascara has dried out long ago I've washed the brush and have been using it in combination with the lash sensational and I really love how full it makes my lashes look. I feel as though I am using falsies minus the actual false lashes.
Elf Eyebrow Kit- Also an old love made into a new one. I previously used this eyebrow powder on my brows, however thanks to
Thataylaa (on YouTube) where she mentioned she used the elf eyebrow powder in light as a contour I decided to give it a try and I actually love it, it is pigmented more than other lighter colours I have used and not too dark like most contour powders.
Too Faced Melted Lipstick in Chihuahua- My Step Daughter got this in a lip sample pack from Sephora and she gave it to me, I love it! I love the formula, its not drying at all and feels extremely comfortable on the lips and the colour is the perfect pinky nude every day colour.
Other Products:
Toms of Maine Deodorant- My armpits are extremely picky at what I use as a deodorant. I have tried every brand I can think of in stick form for deodorants and so far this is the only brand that doesn't break me out and also has a half decent scent. Yes, you will still sweat when you use it because it isn't an anti perspirant however I find that once your body is use to using a deodorant you will find it feels a thousand times better than those antiperspirants.
OGX Kuikui Hydrating Hair Oil- I've been using this spray over a few months now but I love it, especially now that it is getting colder which in Western Canada means it is getting drier. I spray this stuff on the ends of my hair when I get out of the shower, and sometimes again after I straighten my hair just to make sure it keeps all the ends of my hair under control. I don't use a lot of hair products and I like to find ones that have multiple uses. I am also a huge fan of the shampoo and conditioners by OGX.
Herbal Essence Dry Shampoo- I wash my hair 2 maybe 3 times a week, so dry shampoo is a staple in my hair routine. I randomly bought this dry shampoo about a year ago while cashing in Shoppers Optimum points and I am sooo glad I did! Prior to this I had tried out a few different dry shampoos that I felt either didn't do too much or smelled really horrible! I would say this is likely my 4th bottle of this stuff, I find it absorbs any extra oils in my hair and makes it feel fluffy and clean again but also it makes it smell amazing! This dry shampoo has a minty scent with it that smells soo good, it's not minty that it smells like tooth paste or mouthwash but it is a nice light mint scent perfect for hair that is a couple days old!
Okay now on to random favourites,
This month I have fell in love with crocheting again, I find every fall/winter I really enjoy crocheting new scarves. I've been spending my evenings watching tv and crocheting.
Speaking of TV.... my favourite show of the month, The Block. The Block is an Australian reality show where 5 couples compete to renovate apartments/houses and auction them for the highest price. My friend Jaclyn told me about this show and from the moment I watched the first episode I have been hooked. I am debating going back and watching old seasons because I like it so much. Only problem is now I want to reno my entire house!
Hopefully I didn't bore you too much with all of the things I have been loving over the month of September! I really enjoy doing these favourites posts because I get to share all the new things I discover with all of you!
