Hello October. September has been absolutely amazing and super super hectic, but it's so good to be back in the city. From fashion week, to birthdays, to going out on the town, to shopping, to learning (yeah, I mean in school!)- it's been a blast. As usual, here are my favorites of the month.
Beauty
01) Naked Palette (Original)- I've found myself going back to this a trillion times this month! I also don't believe I've ever even thrown this into a monthly favorites, so I figure it's about time. My favorites on the lid would have to be either Sin or Naked, with a little Sidecar and Buck in the crease. Half Baked is brilliant for a gold eye, and I can't do without Darkhorse or Hustle on my lower lash line whenever I use this palette.
02) Mac's Silk Stocking Pigment- Limited edition from Mac Holiday 2013, Silk Stocking is a pigment to absolutely DIE FOR. I love wearing this in my inner tear duct to brighten up a going out/ evening look. It also looks brilliant if foiled and patted onto the lid, especially if you contrast it with a dark crease.
03) Mac's Old Gold Pigment- Another pigment, this color is insane in the best way possible. Metallic goldish green and super thick, this is beautiful for creating a fall day-to-night eye look. I love putting this toward inner half of my lid and adding Mac's Woodwinked on the outer corner, with Mulch in the crease. Trust me on this one, it'll come out gorgeous.
04) Mac's Smolder- I rarely ever put black liner on my waterline, but I found myself doing it a few times this month to go out! My absolute favorite liner for achieving this look would have to be Smolder, it's super thick and lasts all night long.
05) Mac's Warm Soul Mineralized Blush- Favorite of the season. This adds a really nice warm sheen to your cheeks, and I also love blending it up toward my temples. Extremely suitable for many different complexions as well!
06) Mac Pure Zen- Hands down, the best fall nude. Luckily, this is apart of their permanent lipstick collection, and I highly recommend you get a hold of it! It's super creamy and moisturizing, and the color payoff is brilliant.
Miscellaneous/ Fashion
07) Sexy Little Things NOIR Body Mist- I've literally had this body spray for a few years now (it's a wonder I haven't finished it), and it's my go to for fall. Warm, crisp, and light, the scent is super nice and amiable.
08) Bumble&Bumble Surf Spray- Similar to the Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Surf Spray, this is a texturizing sea-salt solution to keep your hair super textured and slightly curly. I happened to pick this one up at a CCO, so I was able to get it at a discounted price, but I have to say- I do like it better than the NYM version. It's less salty, and has a nice grip on my hair when I use it. I like to wash my hair before bed, sleep in braids, and then spray this texturizing solution throughout in the morning- this is the most perfect way to achieve beachy waves if you have pin straight and flat hair naturally (like me, womp!).
09) Brandy Melville White High Collared Shirt- In LOVE! I purchased this at the beginning of the month, and I've worn it a ton already. It's super light but still conservative which gives it a really nice fall vibe.
10) Fujifilm Instax Mini 8- My baby!!! This is by far one of my favorite purchases from 2014. I've decorated my bedroom wall chock-full of polaroids and they're such a gorgeous backdrop and they keep me super inspired.
Finally, my lookbook is LIVE for September. I accidentally lost a whole lot of footage off my computer when transferring some stuff during fashion week (whoops) so, most of it is street style and a few clips from shows I attended :)
Here's to October!
