Eyes

I've been in need of a new mascara, the one I've had was starting to dry up but still working pretty good.

As always when I go to the drugstore I always see 'NEW' items, I just cant help my self. So this trip I spotted this really cool looking mascara from L'oreal.

The name, display and packaging all got me!

I've' been using it for a couple of days now, I will keep you posted on what I think.

Umm.. by the end of this haul you will notice I'm very attracted to L'oreal products (lol). Here is another L'oreal product and this one I've used before I've actually been using it and loving it, the liner just started running out on me so I had to run out and pick up a back up asap.

Lips

Fairest nude is a necessity in my beauty collection and I was also running low and most of the time when look for this color they're always out so I was very excited to see it in stock.

Fairest Nude (800)

I like the idea of lip balms or lip stains so I decided to pick this one up from Revlon, the color looked pretty dark at first but once you apply it's not as dark as you think. It also applies very soft, I really liked that

and it's like a big o' crayon (lol).

Smitten (030)

Did I mention already how happy I am that Target now carry's NYX? Well, I'm very excited!

I always check out their section and I wanted to give the lip products a try and I picked up this nude color in Thalia. It's very pretty and it also applies very nicely and soft.

Thalia.

Face

Oh primers! Sometimes I'm a little iffy about buying primers because I don't see much of a difference at the end of the day. But checking out the NYX section I had to pick up this high definition primer. I've used it a couple of times and I'm still making up my mind on if I like it or not.

We all need some make up towelettes, I really like these from the Up&Up brand at Target they're really affordable and they work great on me. Very refreshing.

Hair

Okay before I go in to the hair products, if you follow me on Instagram or if you've seen my latest ootd then you would have noticed I dyed my hair red, now because I did that I wanted to pick up some new hair products to help maintain this hair a little longer.

First thing on my list was Dry Shampoo!

This was very important to me especially now because with my new hair color I'm trying to wash my hair as least as possible. If you don't know about red hair every time you wash it the hair is stripped and it begins to fade very quickly, so a way to maintain it is to not wash it as much.

Now with that being said I don't wash it many times which of course gives me oily/dirty hair and that's where dry shampoo is my new best friend.

I mentioned in my October Favorites how the Suave dry shampoo would leave my hair white and just not cute so that's why I picked up this one from Dove, and so far so good!

So I did a little research on good shampoos & conditioners for red hair and I kept coming across this brand, which is sold at Sally's. I knew it was going to be a little pricey but to my surprise they were both on sale.

If you have red hair I would defiantly check them out.

Original Price is about $15's on Sale they were $7.50 each.

I ended up paying basically for 1 shampoo and got the conditioner & shampoo for the price of one.

Keep in mind this is the big bottle of 1L/ 33.8 fl oz.

I will try and do a post about my thoughts on this shampoo and the updates on how it's kept my hair but really quickly I will tell you it's very drying!

I wouldn't recommend this to someone who has red hair and dry hair on top of it, because your hair will be dry and very tangled. I don't have dry hair normally but this stuff did dry my hair and the conditioner didn't help de-tangle it either.

Because the shampoo I've been using is very drying I picked up this L'oreal EverSleek treatment with argan oil. I''ve only used it once so I don't have many thoughts on it yet. But for a drugstore product I think the packaging is very nice.

I know I gave mini reviews on most of the stuff I picked up and it's mainly because I hauled this stuff a couple of days ago and I've had a chance to give most of the stuff a try.

Let me know if you want a full review on any of these products.

Thank you for stopping by, hope you enjoyed!

October Favorites

Beauty

Hello Everyone!
For today's post I will be sharing some of my beauty favorites, which this month I didn't have many.
My sister carved the pumpkin in the pictures, and we joked about it having chola eyebrows (lol) this was her least favorite pumpkin hahah.
Let's get on to the favorites, oh by the way don't forget to share some of your beauty favorites with me!
I'm looking to pick up some new stuff soon and I'm open to take any recommendations.

October Favorites

List of Products:

Sally Hansens Nail Polish Remover

Suave Dry Shampoo

Clinique Eye Shadow Palette

L'oreal Liner Intense EyeLiner

ELF Brush Clenser

Real Techniques Powder Brush

Real Techniques Eye Shadow Brush

Seche Vite Top Coat

Nabi Nail Color in Dark Purple (16)

Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Strengthener

Sinful Colors in Black on Black

Nails

This Sally Hansens Nail polish remover has been so good to me. It works really good almost as close as my 100% acetone but I feel like my nails aren't as sensitive to the Sally Hansens remover. This stuff is meant to make your nails stronger and I think it does a good job.

So with fall coming around finally here in Cali for us I was very excited to start rocking the dark nails!

I am obsessed with black nails I have it on right now and I've re painted them a couple of times.

The pretty dark purple shade is one of my favorites right now too. The quality of this nail polish isn't that great so I don't recommend the brand as much, but the color is very pretty.

As far as my go to nail strengthener & top coat nothing has changed these two have been my favorite since I got them.

Hair

This was one of my favorite hair products in the month of October. Especially because I was trying to maintain my color because I didn't get many chances to re touch it so not washing it was my best bet and this stuff helped maintain the oils away pretty good.

Now I do have to say I'm posting this a little late and going into November I decided to dye my hair red, and after trying this dry shampoo on the 3rd day of having red hair, it was a total FAIL.

The white from the dry shampoo was showing and it turned into a powder and just became a mess.

So if you have red hair don't use this stuff!

Make-Up

This has been a favorite discovery of mine. I got it last year for X-mas and I'm barely getting around to using it.

My favorite shadows are of course the nudes and brown shades. I know they look a little glittery but on the eyes you don't really see the glitter. It looks pretty and very simple.

The highlight is my favorite; its very pretty.

I use the real techniques eye shadow brush to apply the dark brown shade all over my eye and I have to say this brush is so soft on my eye lids, it's just amazing.

For my face I use this real techniques powder brush.

Again another really soft brush, I use it to apply my face powder once I'm done with all my make up and it works amazingly.

Now to take care of my good brushes I spot clean them (when I have a chance) as I'm doing my make up or once I'm done. I have to say this stuff smells so good, well it makes the brushes smell good (lol). It works really well, it takes the make up off the brushes and doesn't leave any residue. I've used the at home stuff before and it leaves my brushes oily and smelling funky so I'd rather go with this stuff.

This is another discovery of mine.

I always change my eye liners because I find something I hate about them and that's how I came across this one, which has been a favorite of mine before.

The liner I was using before this was just not cutting it for me, it would crease after a couple of hours of wearing it and that just wasn't okay for me. I would have to be checking my eyes in the mirror or what I would do is tap my finger against my eye lid and check for eye liner and without a doubt I always found some on there.

This L'oreal Liner Intense eye liner doesn't crease it last me most of the day and is pretty easy to work with.

I do think sometimes the tip can be a little to thick, but it works.

I hope this post helps you discover new products or maybe give you some ideas on what to try next.

Please leave recommendations of beauty products I should try out down below, I would love that!
