Will Work for Makeup

*Sponsored post

I've always been a fan of color-blocking in fashion. When done tastefully, it comes across as simple and chic with just the right amount of pop and liveliness in the color combination. When it comes to makeup looks, however, it can be a bit more difficult to master, especially for neutral-lovers such as myself, but I thought it would be fun to put together an easy and wearable color-blocking look, using all affordable drugstore products from Walgreens, that would be perfect for dabbling in a potential fall makeup trend.

As with color-blocking in fashion, I like it best when it focuses on classic techniques, with the colors bringing the fun aspect. I wanted to focus my look on a sleek, sparkling sapphire winged liner, and I used pinky-coral tones to color-block. The gorgeous liner is Circa Vivid Vinyl Eye Lining Fluid in Blue Topaz. It's in between a sapphire and a navy, and it's beautiful. The longer brush applicator takes a bit of practice due to its flimsier nature, but I got the hang of it pretty quickly. It helps to lay down the brush horizontally and drag it along the lash line to place the pigment down, rather than attempt to draw a line. In terms of longevity, it lasted all day without budging, while still washing off easily.

For the pinky-coral tones to offset the blue, I first swirled my brush in all the shades of the No7 Perfectly Bronzed Mosaic Bronzer and used a healthy dose of it to warm up my complexion before dipping a smaller blush brush into the pink and coral sections and applying it to the apples of my cheeks. On my eyes, I used the Circa Color Saturated Eye Crayon in Sparkling Citrine as a neutral, subtle champagne base and dusted some of the brown shades from the bronzer into my crease and blended a touch of the coral above my crease for a subtle flush of color. I tend to gravitate toward warmer tone on my eyes, so I quite like how it turned out. I brushed through my lashes with the No7 Lash Impact Intense Volume Control Mascara, but unfortunately, it wasn't quite volumizing enough for me, because I have incredibly sparse lashes. However, it still offers good separation, adds some volume, is buildable without getting clumpy and doesn't smudge.

To finish off, I applied Essie Come Here!, a bright coral creme, on my nails and Circa Lustrous Shine Lip Polish in Satin Blush on my lips. Come Here! has been a summer favorite of mine for the past two years and counting, and Satin Blush is a shimmery petal pink that would suit just about anyone. It has a feminine, floral scent, and the formula is cushiony, is non-sticky and offers medium pigmentation. I love the longer doe-foot applicator, too.

Despite incorporating a trend that could be striking and over-the-top, especially when executed on the runways, my look turned out subtle and wearable, which is perfect for me. The focus is definitely on the clean, sapphire winged liner, but the flushes of coral really brighten it up and make it more fun, too.

This was my first experience with Circa products, and I have to say I'm impressed. The liner is beautiful, the eye crayon is blendable and long-wearing and the lip gloss feels moisturizing and plush on the lips.

I know summer's almost over, but that doesn't mean we can't focus on a product that should really be used year-round: sunscreen. Listen, I'm definitely not perfect and I still don't remember to use sun protection on my face every single day, but I try. Luckily, there are so many different forms of sunscreen on the market right now that there's bound to be at least one that you'll take a liking to, thus increasing the chances you'll incorporate it into your everyday routine.

The Setting Spray ::

I received Supergoop! Defense Refresh Setting Mist with Rosemary SPF 50* ($28) in a recent POPSUGAR Must-Have Box*, and it was by far the product I was most excited to try. Online reviews indicate that some have had issues with faulty spray nozzles, but I haven't had any issues. It's a slightly heavier spray than what would be ideal for a setting spray, in my opinion, but it's not so strong where there's product dripping down and disrupting my makeup either. There's quite a strong scent of alcohol upon initial spritz, but it dries down quickly into a soothing rosemary scent, and it has a cooling effect on the skin. In addition to providing sun protection, it actually does set my makeup and mattify as well. I love how it performs, but I question whether a mist truly covers and protects every inch of my face as effectively as a product in which I apply directly onto my skin with my fingers.

The Oil ::

I've had this mini bottle of Supergoop! Sun-Defying Sunscreen Oil with Meadowfoam SPF 50 ($34 for full-size) for about a year now and should probably get rid of it, but I still really like it. It can definitely look greasy on the skin if you apply too much, but it has a really lovely dewy, glistening effect if you apply just the right amount. The only problem is, in order for it to truly protect the skin, I think one would have to apply an amount that would likely leave the skin looking greasy. For that reason and because it's water resistant, I prefer using this one on pool or beach days, aka non-makeup wearing days.

The Cream or Lotion ::

I debated on whether to show the Clarins UV Plus Anti-Pollution Sunscreen SPF 50* ($42) or the glo therapeutics Solar Shade SPF 50* ($34) sunscreen for this category, but ultimately, I decided on glo, simply because a lot of people already seem to know about the Clarins one. Although this one by glo therapeutics is thicker than the Clarins (which is basically a runny liquid) and feels a bit heavier on the skin initially, once it sinks in, the effect is the same. It gives the skin a slight sheen but is non-greasy, and it makes my skin feel hydrated and nourished. There is a subtle white cast upon initial application that disappears after a few minutes, once the product is completely absorbed.

The Primer ::

I previously thought I would have preferred primers without SPF, because I normally associate wearing a primer with perhaps a special occasion or night out where flash photography might take place, but assuming you already have a good primer without SPF for those instances, having one on hand with some sun protection, like the Murad Invisiblur Perfecting Shield SPF 30* ($65), is fantastic for everyday wear. This one is a silicone-based primer that smooths skin's surface, reduces the appearance of pores, helps control oil and increases the longevity of my makeup, all while offering a healthy dose of SPF, too. I love this.

How do you know which formulation is right for you? For me, I like having the oil on hand for pool or beach days. The cream or lotion option, especially one that moisturizes and nourishes the skin like the glo therapeutics one, is great for the cooler months and for generally drier skin types, while the oil-controlling primer variety is a godsend in the warmer months and for oily and combo skin types. The setting spray is a great one to carry around to refresh your makeup while also quickly reapplying sun protection throughout the day. My personal favorite of the bunch is Murad Invisiblur.

Luckily for the Buxom Big & Sexy Bold Gel Lipstick and its cringe-worthy name, the phrase "Big & Sexy" is nowhere to be seen on the packaging itself, so I can almost let it slide. Lord knows I didn't need another lipstick, but Rebel Rose just stood out to me when I swatched it, and I can't say I regret the purchase one bit.

Buxom Big & Sexy Bold Gel Lipstick in Rebel Rose ($22) is a rosy mauve and definitely within the realm of shades I tend to gravitate towards for an everyday, my-lips-but-better kind of lip. The Big & Sexy Bold Gel Lipstick range includes two finishes, matte and satin, and Rebel Rose is in the satin category. It's creamy and generously pigmented, and there's a healthy sheen in the finish for the first two to three hours or so before it settles into a true satin. Despite being a creamy formula with subtle shine initially, Rebel Rose actually lasts a surprisingly long time on me and fades evenly throughout the course of a day and after meals. The satin finish that develops after the initial few hours seems to almost stain the lips, without settling into lip lines. It's also moisturizing and very comfortable to wear, and it has a delicious vanilla cupcake scent that is subtle and not overwhelming. The packaging is plastic with a magnetic closure and BUXOM embossed on the side.

Wearing Buxom Rebel Rose

I've been wearing Rebel Rose non-stop since I got it. Kind of obsessed. I haven't tried any of the matte shades on my lips, but Sinful Cinnamon looked particularly gorgeous when swatched on the back of my hand.

Although I enjoy contouring, I felt overwhelmed by the six and eight-pan contouring palettes on the market. Truthfully, I think those are better suited for makeup artists than simply another makeup wearer, such as myself. When glo minerals released their four-pan palette earlier this week, I had high hopes this one could be juuuuust right.

glo minerals Contour Kit in Medium to Dark

glo minerals Contour Kit ($36) comes in two shade palettes: Fair to Light and Medium to Dark. I wasn't sure which would be better suited to my light/medium complexion, but I was sent the Medium to Dark palette, and it's perfect. It includes two highlight shades, a matte, pale yellow and a pearly champagne beige, and two matte contour shades, a cool taupe and a warm terracotta brown. The contour shades are both very pigmented but still blendable, while the matte highlight shade is more easy to sheer out (a good thing, in this case) and doesn't look chalky, and the shimmery highlight can tend to appear a bit chunky in the pan and heavy swatch, but rest assured, it blends into the skin seamlessly.

I've always wanted to try a banana powder, so I was ecstatic to see one in this kit. I've been using it to set my under-eye concealer, and its subtle brightening properties make me instantly appear more awake and wide-eyed. The pale yellow keeps it from appearing too stark or artificial. The shimmery highlight is beautiful. Especially since I have a warmer, yellow-undertoned complexion, the beige tones in the highlight really complement my skin tone.

The cool-toned taupe contour is an ideal contouring shade, in my opinion. Cool tones always look the most natural in the hollows of the cheeks because it mimics the look of a shadow. This one blends in easily, and it's not too light or too dark. The warm brown contour isn't one I like to use for contouring, to be honest. It's far too warm for that purpose, and it's quite dark on me. I prefer using it as a bronzer, but since it's quite deep and very pigmented, I like taking it on a stippling brush to diffuse the color. A little goes a long way with that one.

With the release of the Contour Kits, glo minerals also released their new Contour/Highlight Brush ($29). This is my first brush from the brand, and I was not disappointed. The bristles are soft, and I haven't experienced any shedding. One side of the brush is somewhat flat and tapered, and I like to use it to apply my highlight by gently patting on the color where I want it, then using subtle swiping motions to blend it out. The tip is also great for contouring smaller areas, such as my nose. The brush on the opposite end is rounded and has the perfect density bristles for applying contour powder and general blending. It's not so fluffy that it completely sheers out the pigment, but it's also not so dense that it's unable to blend. The size of the brush is perfect for fitting into the hollows of the cheeks, as well.

Above, I used the matte highlight powder to set my under-eye concealer, the shimmery highlight on the tops of my cheekbones and the matte contour in the hollows of my cheeks.

This kit is kind of awesome for travelling. Despite being labeled as highlight and contour shades, for me, I find that I also have an under-eye setting/brightening powder and a bronzer in the mix, too.

To celebrate the new release, for a limited time, if you purchase a Contour Kit, you can receive a Contour/Highlight Brush for free with code CONTOUR15.

Buxom recently came out with a powder eyeshadow formula where each eyeshadow "bar" essentially comes in a pan format to be inserted into their empty palettes. Each single eyeshadow bar retails for $12, while the purchase of an empty palette with six bars of your choice retails for $40. Buxom also released three pre-made palettes that also retail for $40.

The palette is made of a sturdy plastic and includes a large mirror.

The Buxom Eyeshadow Bar Single Eyeshadow formula is fantastic. The shadows are silky and smooth, without any powderiness or fallout. All of the shades I have are pigmented and blendable. The formula claims to have primer-infused technology, and while I find they apply and initially look great without primer, I experience some fading (but not creasing) with these after a full work day without primer. Primer extends the wear time significantly until I remove my makeup at night.

My eyeshadow preferences are mainly neutral tones these days, so most of my shade selections shouldn't come as a surprise. The only oddball here is that stunning, shimmery mint shade called Room Service, and although I knew I wouldn't use it very often, I just had to have it. It's beautiful. I'm not much for color on my eyes, so I've been reserving it for use in my inner corners, but the pop of mint is so brightening and unexpected.

The shades in my palette -

Room Service :: shimmery, iridescent mint green

Famous Flirt :: pale peach with a satin finish

Invite Only :: matte peachy-tan

Spoiled Sexy :: matte mauvey plum-brown

Filthy Rich :: matte burnt orange-brown

Gold Status :: shimmery neutral gold

L to R: Room Service, Famous Flirt, Invite Only, Spoiled Sexy, Filthy Rich, Gold Status

Wearing Filthy Rich on the lid and Invite Only blended in the crease

Wearing Gold Status over Famous Flirt on the lid, Spoiled Sexy blended into and above the crease and a touch of Filthy Rich directly in the crease

My advice when choosing shades for a palette are to make sure you have a good lid shade, a crease blending shade, a definer shade and an inner corner shade. For me, Famous Flirt, Invite Only and Gold Status are the lid shades, Invite Only and Spoiled Sexy are crease blending shades, Filthy Rich is the definer shade, and Room Service and Gold Status can be worn in the inner corner.

I had so much fun creating my own palette. I would definitely recommend these eyeshadows, and the $40 palette gives you the most bang for your buck. Buxom has really impressed me this year, y'all.

Wayne Goss Brush 02 (top) and Brush 14

I'd been lusting after the Wayne Goss brushes ever since his first brushes launched on Beautylish. A couple months ago, I finally bit the bullet and ordered Brush 14 and Brush 02.

Brush 14 ($33) is from The Face Set, and it's my go-to for applying powder blush. The brush has an interesting longer domed shape, and the fluffy, loosely-packed bristles allow quite a bit of flexibility. It's great for sheering out heavily pigmented blushes in order to achieve a natural, even wash of color. I bought the NARS Yachiyo Brush years ago with the intention of using it for that very purpose, but Brush 14, although a different shape altogether, is infinitely softer and doesn't shed at all (two of my issues with Yachiyo). Brush 14 is ideal for applying any powder that either needs to be sheered out or only needs a featherlight application. I use it to apply moderately pigmented blushes as well, but I find that the brush needs a few extra swirls into the blush in order to pick up enough pigment. Because the application is so airy and light, you never run the risk of disturbing the makeup underneath.

Brush 02 ($35) is from The Collection, and I love it for contouring. It's much smaller than the rounded end of the glo minerals Contour/Highlight Brush, and it's most similar in size and shape to the Real Techniques Contour Brush, except it's slightly more tapered, and the bristles are much softer and are not as densely packed. For my face shape and size, I enjoy using Brush 02 for contouring because it's quite small and allows me to control exactly where I want to place the product. The flexibility of the bristles makes blending easy peasy. This would also be a fantastic brush for applying powder, blush or highlight.

Wayne Goss Brush 14 (left) and Brush 02

All Wayne Goss brushes are cruelty-free, made with natural bristles and handcrafted in Japan. The handles are all black and made from a durable wood called Hornbeam. When I first picked up my brushes, I was surprised by how light they were, especially Brush 14. The design itself is sleek and minimalistic. Both brushes are incredibly soft and a pleasure to use, making scratchy bristles a problem of yesteryear. I ordered both from Beautylish.

After a couple of weeks of scorching heat, I'm kind of ready for summer to end. I discovered and re-discovered a lot of great beauty products this summer. Here are my favorites of this past season.

I swear this post isn't sponsored by Murad. They sent me a generous package at the beginning of summer so that I could try out some of their products, and I fell in love with quite a few of them. I talked about the Clarifying Body Spray* in this post, and it's been a godsend in terms of keeping any chest or back breakouts at bay. I'm nearly out of this and will absolutely be replenishing my supply. Their Collagen Support Body Cream* was the perfect body moisturizer for the warmer months. Its texture is interesting (reminds me of slightly melted whipped cream?), and it's perfectly lightweight for summer while still being hydrating enough, and it sinks in quickly. The scent reminds me of lemongrass - fresh and invigorating. The Invisiblur Perfecting Shield*, without a doubt, had to be included in this post. In addition to being a fantastic makeup primer for my combination skin, the SPF 30 meant that I could skip an additional facial sunscreen step. I talk more about it here.

It Cosmetics CC+ Cream Illumination in Medium* was my most used base these past few months. I love the substantial coverage and dewy, glowing finish. I have quite a few bronzers that I enjoy using in my collection, but I could not stop myself from reaching for Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer in Luminous Bronze day in and day out. No other bronzer perfects the sunkissed glow the way this baby can. I was also into a more dramatic highlight, so I dusted off MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Soft and Gentle and threw it back into my daily rotation. I tried the BECCA Beach Tint Shimmer Souffle for the first time this summer, and Lychee/Opal was on my cheeks constantly. The flushed glow it achieves is unmatched.

CoverGirl The Super Sizer Mascara Waterproof dethroned my previous HG mascara, and although it's a complete pain to remove, its volume and curl-holding capabilities are so incredible that it's worth the struggle. One of my most worn lip products of the summer was actually a 100-point perk from Sephora: NARS Lipgloss in Orgasm. The shimmer peachy pink is such a flattering shade, and the formula is quite good.

It was love at first sip for me with Pumpkin Spice Lattes, but it wasn't love at first use with the Peter Thomas Roth Pumpkin Enzyme Mask ($58). Initially, I actually thought this exfoliating treatment was a bit too mild and gentle for my taste (I was used to more intensive exfoliating masks like the Osmia Organics Detox Exfoliating Mask), but with each use, I slowly came around, and now I'm hooked.

The Pumpkin Enzyme Mask"exfoliates with pumpkin enzyme, peels with alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), and polishes with aluminum oxide." Upon opening the jar, the warm and delicious aroma of pumpkin spice lures me in. Once or twice weekly, I scoop out about a nickel to quarter-sized amount of product (one jar will last you ages), wet my fingertips and massage the mask onto clean, dry skin. It's recommended to leave the mask on for 3-7 minutes before rinsing clean, but I usually leave it on for about 10 minutes. Keep in mind, my skin is not very sensitive, so a shorter amount of time may be plenty for more sensitive skin types.

There's a tingle when the mask is drying, but it's not uncomfortable, in my opinion. The pumpkin enzyme and AHA provide the chemical exfoliation, while the aluminum oxide crystals provide some physical exfoliation. Afterwards, my skin feels completely fresh and rejuvenated, looks brighter and feels as smooth as a baby's bottom. It's basically an autumnal facial in a jar.

I've been using the Pumpkin Enzyme Mask for several months now, but I'm really going to savor it this coming fall season, especially. The scent is divine, and it truly performs. Once I wrapped my mind around the fact that this was going to be different from the clay-based exfoliating masks I was used to, I was really able to appreciate it for what it was. It's a product that will work for a variety of skin types, since you can almost tailor the intensity based on how long you leave the mask on.

Lovers of pumpkin spice lattes and skincare (*raises hand*), listen up: This mask has your name written all over it.

Allure and butter LONDON recently joined forces and created an array of nail lacquers in varying shades and finishes. Arm Candy encompasses a 4-piece lacquer collection ($30), as well as the six individual nail lacquers ($15 each) in this post.

The individual Arm Candy lacquers include:

Statement Piece :: orange-red creme

It's Vintage :: rusty brown creme

Disco Nap :: charcoal with silver glitter

Lust or Must? :: rich, espresso creme

I'm On The List :: pearlescent rose gold

Nude Stilettos :: pale peach creme

Allure & butter LONDON Statement Piece

Allure & butter LONDON It's Vintage

L to R:

Allure & butter LONDON Disco Nap, Lust or Must?, I'm On The List, Nude Stilettos

All of these swatches were done with two coats, with the exception of I'm On The List, which only needed one to be opaque. I tend to have pretty good luck with butter LONDON polishes, and these were no exception. I get a solid 4-5 days of wear before experiencing any chipping or tip wear. These polishes apply so smoothly, and they fill in nail ridges as well, creating an overall smooth surface, which also maximizes the shine.

Statement Piece is one of my favorites, because it reminds me a lot of Essie Clambake (which I love), but it's much more opaque. I'm On The List is an obvious favorite, and I like that it's more pearlescent than even metallic, just because the finish is so smooth. There's no glitter or shimmer whatsoever. Love.

butter LONDON generously sent me an extra set of nail lacquers, so if you want to add these to your collection, you can enter via the widget below. Please note this giveaway is open to residents of the continental US only, due to the nature of the prize.

Autumn is by far my favorite season for makeup, and the main reason lies in the lip color choices. I love berry lips, and when I'm feeling more adventurous, nothing makes me feel more bad-ass than a vampy lip. Here are my picks for the season.

MAC Lipstick Rebel //

Rebel is still one of my top 3 MAC lipsticks. It's a must-have, as far as I'm concerned. It's a purple berry with awesome lasting power and the perfect satin finish. This one is a stainer, though, so best not to apply it unless you're committed to wearing it the whole day.

Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in 107 //

107 is a great drugstore fall lipstick. It's a red berry with a satin finish that is sophisticated without appearing aging.

butter LONDON Bloody Brilliant Lip Crayon in Toff* //

I love Toff because I don't have anything else like it in my collection. It's a creamy blackberry, and since it has a shinier finish, it's a bit easier to wear because it's more moisturizing than a matte or satin, and its overall effect doesn't appear as harsh.

Bobbi Brown Creamy Matte Lip Color in Crushed Plum //

Crushed Plum was a favorite from last year, and I have a feeling it will continue to get plenty of love this year, as well. It's a vampy plum, and the Creamy Matte Lip Color formula is one of my all-time favorite mattes.

Wet n Wild Lipstick in Cherry Bomb //

If you're looking for a ultra vampy lip color but not ready to commit to a higher end price tag, Cherry Bomb is calling your name. This is one of the darkest shades in my collection, and although I'm still a bit intimidated by the idea of wearing this deep merlot shade out, there's no denying it's a head-turner.

Clockwise from top right: MAC Rebel, Rimmel 107, butter LONDON Toff*, Bobbi Brown Crushed Plum, Wet n Wild Cherry Bomb (also in full face photo)

These are the more dramatic lip choices I like to go for in the fall, but I tend to reach for more subtle variations for daytime. I may talk about those in a post soon. Who else is rejoicing the start of fall? *raises hand*

It was nearly impossible not to feel inspired by all of the beauty looks seen on the runway during New York Fashion Week. Similarly to the clothing being showcased, the makeup products used for those looks weren't always the most affordable, so I wanted to create a look using easily accessible products from Walgreens. The theme? Glossy skin and lids.

The focus of the look is obviously on the skin and the eyes, so having a nicely prepped base is key. I first applied the No7 Protect & Perfect Advanced Serum under my moisturizer. It’s meant to have anti-aging effects and help reduce the appearance of wrinkles. I don't have the ideal skin to test out anti-aging products, since I don't really have any wrinkles yet, but I like how the serum feels. It has a satiny texture and subtle smoothing properties. After applying my usual moisturizer, I slathered on a few drops of the Botanics Smoothing Facial Oil Triple Age Renewal with Purple Orchid. When applied to bare skin, this facial oil sinks in super quickly and leaves behind no greasy residue at all, making it suitable for use in the morning under makeup, as well as for oily skin types. However, since I wanted an ultra-glossy effect, I applied it over my moisturizer, which allows it to inject the skin with that extra dose of dewiness. In case that wasn't enough, I also applied a thin layer of the Botanics Radiance Balm All Bright. Despite the name, it's more of a lotion than a balm. I love how soft and smooth it makes my skin look and feel. It brightens my complexion just a touch, without any actual shimmer or sheen. I love this one for days when my skin looks tired and drab.

After applying a bit of tinted moisturizer to even out my complexion, I used the Botanics Radiance Highlighter Pen in Warm to brighten up my under-eye area, as well as the tops of my cheekbones and the bridge of my nose. It's one of those products that's kind of a highlighter-concealer hybrid. The packaging makes it a convenient choice for on-the-go touch-ups, too. To finish off my skin, I used the bronze shades in the No7 Perfectly Bronzed Mosaic Bronzer to add warmth and used a mixture of the pink and coral shades on the apples of my cheeks.

For my glossy lids, I used the sponge tip applicator to apply the Colour Prevails Eye Shimmer Powder in Bronze to my lid. It has quite the sheen on its own anyway, but I also used a wet, flat eyeshadow brush to pat down the color to make it more vibrant and glossy. I used a neutral tan shadow to blend it out.

Glossy Skin and Lids

I love how fresh and healthy the overall look is. If you need the look to last all day, I'd recommend adding a bit of powder only where your skin needs it. The more skin you leave in its glossy state, the better.

In terms of products, my favorites of the bunch are the Botanics Radiance Balm All Bright and the Colour Prevails Eye Shimmer Powder in Bronze. The balm is a nice little pick-me-up for your skin, and while I don't love the packaging of the eye powder, there's no denying it looks beautiful on the lids. It also wears well, even without primer.

Way back before I truly understood and appreciated the importance of making skincare a priority in my beauty routine, my morning and nighttime skincare routines used to be, more or less, the same. Nowadays, I tend to think of my morning routine as gentler and lighter, as a way to refresh and prep my skin for makeup and the rest of the day, while my bedtime routine focuses more on deep cleansing and more intensive treatments with a heavier emphasis on hydration to last throughout the night.

The first step in my nighttime routine is to remove my makeup, and cleansing oils are always the way to go. My favorite is still the L'Occitane Shea Butter Cleansing Oil ($22), as it's incredibly effective and doesn't leave behind a filmy residue. However, even if it did, it's nothing my nightly second cleanse couldn't take care of. For this, I use either the Cerave Renewing SA Cleanser I talked about in my morning skincare routine post or the Pacifica Sea Foam Complete Face Wash ($10), which I reviewed in-depth here. Regardless of what skin type you have, I think most would enjoy this Pacifica one. It's amazing.

Once my skin is completely cleansed, I reach for an exfoliating toner. I have the Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant ($28) on hand as well, but I much prefer the Clarins Gentle Exfoliator Brightening Toner ($39). The Clarins has a gel-liquid consistency that glides over the skin and leaves almost a thin veil of moisture behind. It's gentle enough to be used daily, but it's effective as well.

Every other night, I alternate between a retinol and a normal, hydrating night cream. I'm currently using the SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.5 ($57) and I love it. I experienced some peeling the first few weeks I used it, which is to be expected, but I saw a drastic change in the appearance of my complexion after about four weeks of consistent use. Not only has it noticeably faded my acne scarring, but it's made my skin look so much smoother, too. On my off nights, I've been reaching for the L'Occitane Peony Perfecting Cream* ($42), which is ultra-moisturizing, without being greasy or pore-clogging. I love how soft it makes my skin. Although it smells beautiful, I wish it wasn't so heavily scented, as it's not ideal for when my skin is acting up and feeling more sensitive.

Unlike my daytime eye cream, I prefer something a bit heavier for nighttime, and the Shiseido Benefiance WrinkleResist24 Intensive Eye Contour Cream ($55) is utter perfection. It's the thickest, richest and most luxuriously creamy eye cream I've ever used, but it's not greasy. It takes a bit of time for the cream to fully absorb into the skin, and because of its heavier texture, it's probably not ideal for wearing during the day under makeup, unless you have a very dry under-eye area. At bedtime, however, this eye cream is what dreams are made of. My eye area feels nourished, plump and supple all through the night and well into the morning, and although I don't have any wrinkles yet, I definitely think they'd have to put up a strong fight in order to get past the formidable barrier this eye cream puts up.

The very last step in my bedtime skincare routine is my lip balm, and for that, my go-to has always been and still is the C.O. Bigelow My Favorite Night Balm ($7.50).

I've heard a lot of great things about the Hourglass Arch Brow Sculpting Pencil ($32), but since it's quite difficult for me to find eyebrow pencils that are a good match for my hair color, I wasn't ready to take a risk and splurge for it just yet. Luckily, Hourglass recently expanded on their shade range to include nine shades total, and they sent me two of their pencils in the shades Ash and Soft Brunette.

Soft Brunette is described as "light to medium cool brown," and Ash is "gray/dark brown with cool undertones." If I've learned anything during my trial and error period with eyebrow products, it is that warm tones look completely unnatural on me. Also, although my natural hair color is black, because I have very little natural brow hairs and have to fill in most of my brow shape, nothing screams "drawn-on brows" quite like black or very dark brown brow pencils. For me, cool medium to dark browns are the way to go, so Soft Brunette and Ash were perfect for me.

The larger, angled shape of the Hourglass Arch Brow Sculpting Pencil took a bit of getting used to for me, since my usual brow pencil is a traditional pencil shape. I tend to hold it so that the tip is sideways, and although it's quite large, after a bit of practice, I found I was able to fill in my brows faster and with less strokes than I could with a normal pencil. I've only used Ash so far, but I think Soft Brunette could work well for me, too. It's a touch lighter and more cool-toned compared to Ash. The formula itself is fantastic. My eyebrows are still completely intact at the end of a long day, and I never experience my brows looking like they've melted off, which is all I could ask for with my oil-prone skin.

Because my brow hairs are so faint and sparse, they do look quite drawn on after I fill them in initially, so I use a tinted brow gel to brush through them. This softens the pigmentation of the brow pencil a bit, makes the edges softer and more diffused and adds texture to my brows.

All in all, I'm a big fan of the Hourglass Arch Brow Sculpting Pencil. I love how natural Ash looks against my complexion and hair color, and the long-wearing formula is a great one. The only reason I could see someone not appreciating this pencil is if they're looking to draw on individual hairs. Since the pencil is quite large, it's better suited for filling in brows than for intricate, detail work.

I've tried MAC face powders in the past, but the MAC Studio Waterweight SPF 30 Foundation is my first liquid foundation from them. I tend to equate their foundations with being heavy and higher coverage, so they didn't appeal to me. Even when this foundation was released, I had my reservations based on my less than positive experience with another serum foundation. However, I decided to throw caution to the wind, and if you follow me on snapchat, you'll already know this, but I LOVE this foundation. Borderline obsessed.

The MAC comes in a frosted glass bottle with a pipette dropper. The packaging, while chic, scares me because it wasn't long ago that I accidentally knocked over my similarly-packaged Armani Maestro Liquid Summer Bronzer and spent a long while shampooing the carpet, as a result. Fun times were had. In addition to having to take extra care with the bottle in order to not spill or knock it over while open, it's also not ideal for traveling, due to the weight and fragile nature of the bottle.

Pipette dropper

I have shade NC25, and it's a touch light on me but will be the perfect match soon, as the color I've acquired over the summer continues to fade. Although it says it can also be applied with fingers or a sponge, I've been dotting the foundation around my face and buffing it in with a foundation brush. With one coat, the foundation has light coverage that evens out my skin tone and takes the edge off of blemishes, but doesn't truly cover them. One of the things that really surprised me was how seamlessly the coverage can be built up. After applying the first layer, I sometimes buff in a second layer just where I need additional coverage (usually around my nose or on small blemishes), and it never looks heavy or cakey. It's impossible to tell there's more product there than there is in other areas. The foundation is featherlight, and it truly feels like nothing on the skin. It would be perfect for those who hate the sometimes heavy or constricting feel of foundation on their skin.

The finish is absolutely stunning. Although the foundation dries down, the finish stays glowy. There's no dewiness or shimmer; it's just a gorgeous, illuminating glow. On my combination skin, I have to powder my t-zone is order to prevent my natural oils from adding to the foundation's glow and looking greasy later on, but I think dry to normal skin types could get away without powder. Despite the finish, the foundation doesn't break down or settle into my pores at all, and it lasts all day. And, as a cherry on top, unlike my experience with NARS All Day Luminous Foundation, I'm happy to report this one doesn't cling to my dry patches!

Since getting it, I haven't been able to get myself to use any other foundation. I seriously love this stuff. It's the perfect daytime foundation for everyday wear. It has light coverage that can seamlessly be built-up to medium-full, SPF 30 and a finish that makes the skin look healthy and radiant. Oily skin types may find that this foundation, especially when mixed with their skin's natural oils, looks too shiny on them. For all other skin types, however, you have to try this.

I'm trying to play it cool with all the holiday releases, but the second I heard rumblings about the BITE Beauty Best Bite Rewind set, I knew I had to have it. I'm a big fan of their Matte Creme Lip Crayon formula, which has more of satin finish than a true matte one and boasts strong pigmentation and a long wear time that is hydrating and comfortable. The set includes four shades (three of which are new) that range from nude to vampy, making it the perfect mini lip wardrobe. The red tin case that houses the crayons is really cute, too.

Best Bite Rewind ($25) includes Cafe, a peachy-pink nude, Torte, a medium-toned rose, Coulis, a red with a hint of pink undertone, and Aubergine, a purple berry and the only pre-existing shade in the set. I've been getting a ton of wear out of Cafe lately, and I like pairing it with a nude liner to define my lip shape, since on its own, it can look a bit pale on me. My other favorite is Aubergine - surprise, surprise. It's a gorgeous shade for fall and winter, and it's deep and vampy without being intimidating. Coulis is a beautiful red that would suit anyone, while I'm still trying to find ways to make Torte work on me. I often find medium and deeper roses a bit aging on me, but I find I prefer Torte when topped with a bit of nude gloss.

Seeing as the set is a $55 value but costs just a dollar more than a full-sized Matte Creme Lip Crayon, I think Best Bite Rewind is a no-brainer. It's a welcome addition to any matte lip lover's collection, but it would make a great gift as well.

If you follow me on snapchat (username willwrkfrmakeup), you'll already know the gem I stumbled across the other day while at Nordstrom in search of the NEST Pumpkin Chai Candle - a Charlotte Tilbury counter. Basically, my eyes lit up and I may or may not have done a little mental squeal when I saw it. The only thing I've tried from her brand is the Fallen Angel Palette, which I LOVE, but I hadn't gotten around to dabbling in her other offerings yet. Being able to see everything in person and swatch to my heart's content helped rectify that situation in no time.

After covering the back of my hand in swatches, I picked up two products, one of which is the Matte Revolution Lipstick in the shade Very Victoria ($32), a mauvey brown-nude. Although it appears gold in the photo above, the packaging is actually a stunning rose gold. At the counter, Very Victoria almost looked like it contained micro-shimmer that set it apart from other nudes, without taking away from its matte finish. When I swatched it at home the next day, however, I think the shimmer I thought I saw was actually a very subtle sheen than actual shimmer.

Very Victoria glides on without tugging at the lips and has a velvety satin finish. Unlike some matte lipstick formulas, this one isn't heavy or paint-like, and it doesn't make the lips look dry or parched. While the formula itself doesn't provide hydration, I find it comfortable to wear and non-drying, and the lasting power is average. The formula accurately claims to be buildable, and I can swipe on a few layers to achieve mostly opaque coverage without it feeling heavy.

People have deemed the Matte Revolution Lipstick formula one of their favorite matte formulas, and although I'm not quite sure I'm ready to make the same declaration, I can certainly understand the appeal. It's a great formula with gorgeous packaging to boot.

A few years ago, when my skin was very oily and acne-prone, an oil-controlling primer was my best friend. I used one all over my face before foundation just about everyday, and even then, I'd have to blot every other hour or so. Fast forward a few years, and with age, my skin has calmed down a bit. My t-zone still gets quite shiny, but the rest of my face often tiptoes the line between normal and a bit dry and dehydrated, depending on the season and the other skincare products I'm currently using. In order to accommodate my current combination skin type, rather than my previous oily one, I've grown quite fond of what I call 'mix and match priming.'

For my t-zone, my face primer of choice is the Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer ($36). I really liked the Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer ($52) as well, but the Smashbox has more oil-control for me. It's a silicone-based primer that diminishes the look of pores and smooths over the skin's surface in addition to managing oil production throughout the day and increasing the wear time of whichever foundation I pair with it.

When the rest of my face is feeling normal and balanced, I don't apply any additional primer. When it's feeling a bit dry, either due to a change in the weather or the addition of a new skincare product (for example, when I first started using a retinol cream), the Too Faced Hangover Replenishing Face Primer ($32) is a fantastic hydrating, yet lightweight, primer option. It sinks in quickly and helps create a healthy and supple base. I was afraid a hydrating primer would be too heavy for my skin, perhaps even decreasing the wear time of my foundation or causing clogged pores or breakouts, but that wasn't the case at all. This is a great one if you have issues with foundation clinging on to dry patches or dry skin that makes foundation go on patchy and difficult to blend. The light and fresh coconut scent is just the cherry on top.

I don't use a primer everyday, but if I need my makeup to last longer than a normal working day (happy hour, anyone?), or if I think either my skin or foundation could benefit from some oil-control or an extra dose of hydration, I know I can always rely on these two.

It's been a long time since I've done a favorites post, but seeing as how I moved in October and had to use the same select few products for most of the month while the rest of my collection was packed away, I think it makes sense that these kind of became my default favorites. I made sure when I picked which products to put in my makeup bag that they were products that would suit plenty of different looks, so that I wouldn't feel restricted or grow tired of them too quickly. I have to say, I did good.

The MAC Studio Waterweight SPF 30 Foundation is, without a doubt, the star of my October favorites. I think I used this every single day for three weeks straight, with the exception of an evening wedding I went to where I wore a longer wearing foundation without SPF. I reviewed the foundation here, but basically, it's glowy, healthy looking skin in a bottle.

Ever since hitting pan on my Dior bronzer a few weeks ago, I've been determined to use it more so that I can actually finish up a makeup product at some point in the foreseeable future, but every few days or so, I always find myself itching for the Hourglass Luminous Light Ambient Lighting Bronzer. I just love the healthy bronzed glow this adds to my complexion. It might actually be my favorite bronzer of 2015. For blush, October was all about CHANEL Joues Contraste in Alezane. This baby is beautiful. The coppery rose shade is sculpting and makes for the perfect autumn blush. I don't see myself growing tired of this one any time soon.

I set aside two eyeshadow palettes for use during this transition period, but the Make Up For Ever Artist Palette Volume 1 Nudes You Need was the one I reached for the most. The center and right shades in the middle and bottom rows comprise four stunning eyeshadow options that are perfect for my lazy one-eyeshadow looks. When I have a few minutes to spare in the morning, I like to spend it on a bit of winged liner. The Sephora Collection Long-Lasting 12Hr Wear Eye Liner was my favorite, despite having three liquid liners in my makeup bag to choose from. It has a super inky black, matte finish, and it stays on all day without budging, so long as it doesn't come into contact with water. Water is its nemesis and will make it smear like a mofo. Don't ask me how I know.

Lastly, my lip favorite of the month was a rediscovery: BUXOM Full-Bodied Lip Gloss in Mwah, a shimmery mauve. It's in the same color family as MAC Plushglass in Ample Pink and BUXOM Big & Sexy Bold Gel Lipstick in Rebel Rose, and although it's a bit tacky, the BUXOM lipgloss formula is still one of my favorites.

So, yeah, I guess you could call these my default favorites, but I actually enjoyed using products from a small selection each morning and found it cut out a lot of the guesswork that comes with having too much to choose from, therefore saving time too. Maybe there really is something to the whole 'capsule makeup collection' idea?

It's the sale beauty addicts wait all year for! The Holiday Shopping Event at Sephora starts November 6th for VIB Rouge, and because makeup is the only area of my life where I don't procrastinate, I thought I'd share my makeup and skincare wishlists that I've been crafting for the past several weeks.

MAKEUP

I swear those three eyeshadows are not all the same shade. I haven't even tried to hide my love for my Make Up For Ever eyeshadow palette, and I think this might be the opportune time to expand my collection. I'm having a moment with this terra-cotta/burnt red-brown type of shade, and I can't decide among the shades M608, S604 and M738. Would it be overkill to have a terra-cotta themed eyeshadow trio? :) :: Link here ::

I've been using a dinky little 100-point perk sample of BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed in Opal for the past couple weeks, and I've decided that it finally warrants a purchase. Realistically speaking, I'd never finish (or even hit pan, for that matter) a full-sized one, so as luck would have it, there's currently a set of minis of the pressed and liquid versions of Opal for only $20. :: Link here ::

I told myself I wasn't going to allow myself to pick up another nude-ish gloss until I finished MAC Boy Bait, and seeing as how I'm now scraping the sides of that tube with the doe foot applicator, I don't think it's unreasonable to add one to my wishlist. NARS Chelsea Girls is the one that made the cut. Enough swatching and fawning over it - it needs to be mine now. :: Link here ::

I've been yearning for more berry polish shades, as that's one area in which my collection is lacking. I really want a super shiny, gel-like formula, too, and after swatching Ciate Napa Valley from the Olivia Palermo collection, I think this could be the winner. I'm a bit turned off by the price tag though, so I'm not sure if I'll actually end up picking this one up, or if I'll just continue lusting after it. :: Link here ::

SKINCARE

My skincare wishlist is actually comprised of all repurchases. I'm in love with using the Shiseido Benefiance WrinkleResist24 Intensive Eye Contour Cream at night, because it's extra thick, hydrating and luxurious, so when I saw it in a set with four Benefiance WrinkleResist24 Pure Retinol Express Smoothing Eye Masks for the same price as the eye cream alone, it was a given that this would be on my to-buy list. :: Review here :: Link to the set here.

Inconveniently for me, I only have one more use left out of my current bottle of L'Occitane Shea Cleansing Oil (couldn't it just make it to the sale?!), so I'm going to be using other products for about a week or so until I can repurchase it. I might just need to bite the bullet and order multiples, to be honest, since I know I'll definitely use them up throughout the year. :: Review here :: Link here ::

I'll also be replenishing my supply of the NUDE Skincare Detox Brightening Fizzy Powder Wash*. I was lucky enough to be able to come across this product after winning it in a giveaway by NUDE Skincare last year, but I'm hooked. I use this religiously twice a week, and I like that it's quite an intensive exfoliator. It leaves my skin feeling so soft, smooth, and interestingly enough, hydrated as well. :: Review here :: Link here ::

The last product on my list is also the least glamorous by far - Murad Clarifying Body Spray*. I'm currently on my second bottle, and believe me when I say this stuff works! If you have issues with breakouts on your chest or back, this will be your savior. Yes, it's pricey, but because I've seen results, I don't ever want to be without it. :: Review here :: Link here ::

Nine days out of ten, the eyeshadows I'm wearing came from a palette. I love me a good eyeshadow palette. butter LONDON released an eyeshadow formula this year in the form of two six-pan palettes called Shadow Clutch Palettes ($39) and four Shadow Clutch Wardrobe Duos ($15). After trying and enjoying their Bloody Brilliant Lip Crayons, I was excited and curious to see how their eyeshadow formula compared to other high-end formulas.

The palette I have is called Natural Charm. It's a gorgeous mix of neutral shades, including Citrine, a peachy pink-gold, and Camo, deep olive green. Those two, with the addition of Quartz, the taupey-tan shade in the middle top row, are shimmer finishes, while the other three, Linen, Camel and Leather (bone, neutral tan and espresso brown, respectively), are mattes. The cool thing about the palettes is that you can switch out the shades with any of the shades from the duos (each eyeshadow in the "duo" is actually a single). I liked all of the shades already in Natural Charm, so I left mine as is.

The Fancy Flutter duo (bottom in above photo) consists of Plume, a red-brown/blue-green duochrome shade (similar to the likes of MAC Club), and Feather, a peachy gold. The other duo shown, Moody Blues, contains Sequins, an icy mint green, and Sapphire, a shimmery royal blue.

butter LONDON touts an eyeshadow formula that is primer-infused, oil-absorbing, crease-free, long-wearing and blendable. With the exception of Camo and Sapphire, which can apply a bit patchy and require more work to blend seamlessly, I found the other shades easy to apply and effortless to blend. As far as their other claims? So much yes. These babies wear from morning to night without skipping a beat. Even without primer, these eyeshadows wear exceptionally well on me, similar to the likes of Burberry. No creasing; no fading.

Some of my favorite combinations include:

either Quartz or Citrine on the lid, Camel blended through the crease and Leather in the outer v for added definition;
Plume on the lid with Camel to blend it out;
Feather on the inner half of the lid, Camo on the outer half of the lid and Camel to blend everything out and through the crease.

L to R: Linen, Quartz, Camo, Camel, Citrine, Leather, Feather, Plume, Sequins and Sapphire

Generally speaking, these butter LONDON eyeshadows are buttery (expect a tiny bit of fallout if you're not careful), pigmented, blendable and most importantly, long-wearing and crease-resistant. I always enjoy a bit of customization, so needless to say, I'm a fan of the option to switch out the shades. The other Shadow Clutch Palette shade option, Pretty Proper, seems like a really nice cool-toned option, from what I've seen of it in-stores at Ulta.
