November 2017 Favorites
How in the world is it already December & that 2017 has almost come to a close!? I feel like it just started yesterday! Also, it is so hard to believe that my boyfriend and I will have been dating for a year at the beginning of 2018! It's crazy how time flies (especially when you're having fun!) So with all that being said I'm going to share with ya'll my favorites for this month!
P.S. I split everything into sections but will explain the details on everything below!
Here is everything (under my Christmas tree too!)
The first products I'm going to talk about are:
Thayer's Witch Hazel Toner
Fresh Sugar Lip Polish
Fresh Black Tea Firming Overnight Mask
Fresh Black Tea Age-Delay Eye Concentrate
Morphe Eye-Slay Brush Set & Bag
Thayer's Witch Hazel Toner: This is by far my favorite product I got this month! It has transformed my oily T-zone and helps me get every bit of makeup off at the end of the day! Witch Hazel really helps with oily skin and it definitely keeps everything dry and clean after I use it. This can be found at Walmart & Target and is super affordable!
Fresh Sugar Lip Polish: I actually bought this awhile back but since it has been getting colder outside my lips have been getting chapped lately. I have been grabbing for this daily to keep my lips soft and fresh! Also, it has brown sugar in it and smells amazing! This can be found at the Fresh beauty website or at Sephora.
Fresh Black Tea Firming Overnight Mask: This was a free sample I got from Sephora and it seriously is so good! The smell is somewhat potent but once it dries it leaves your skin so soft and smooth! This can be found at the Fresh beauty website or at Sephora.
Fresh Black Tea Age-Delay Eye Concentrate: Again, this was a free sample from Sephora and I seriously love it! I have no idea what I'm going to do when it runs out because it is kind of pricey for me ($78 to be exact!) If ya'll have any under eye cream/moisturizers that are cheaper please let me know ASAP because I'm almost out of this! This can be found at the Fresh beauty website or at Sephora.
Morphe Eye-Slay Brush Set & Bag: First of all, these brushes are so beautiful! I'm obsessed with color and the bag actually fits all of my brushes plus these (which was great for traveling!) But, these brushes work so well. I love the blending brushes and the eyeliner brush is the best one I have ever used! This is also super affordable ($18) and is available on Morphe's website.
So this is probably the largest grouping so let's get started:
Fox Candle Ceramic: This candle is so freaking adorable and of course, it's a fox! I got this from Francesca's for $18 and it is a Bergamot scent! This has been burning constantly for the past few weeks!
Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream Perfume: I picked this up at Ulta on sale for $29! I have been wanting this perfume for so long but never wanted to splurge on the high price tag. But, since it was such a great deal I decided to pick it up and I have been wearing it every single day since!
Burt's Bee's Tinted Lip Balm in Hibiscus
Bare Mineral's Gen Nude Matte Liquid Lipstick in Friendship
RealHer Cosmetics Matte Liquid Lipstick in I Deserve the Best
Buxom Lip Polish in Moscow Mule
Palmer's Coconut Oil Firming Lotion: So I have been in love with using firming lotions all over my body to help smooth out my skin! I still love my Sol De Janeiro Bum Bum Cream but this is a much more affordable option and it smells so good!
Milani Conceal + Perfect Foundation in Natural Beige: I know, I am beating a dead horse over this foundation but you guys, IT IS SO GOOD!! It seriously is the only foundation I have ever used that keeps my oily areas dry all day. I don't have to powder my nose anymore and it doesn't make my skin look "cakey" at all. I definitely recommend trying this out and it is super affordable!
Essie Nail Polish in Exposed and After School Boy Blazer: This month I have been consistently switch back and forth between these two colors. I know I mentioned Exposed in last months favorites but it has been my go-to this month! I love
Swatched in order (top to bottom) below:
RealHer Cosmetics Matte Liquid Lipstick in I Deserve the Best ($18): So if you follow me on my Dose of Drey social media accounts, you already know how I feel about this matte liquid lipstick! It is so good! It stays on forever and you definitely need an oil based cleanser to take it off. The color is so beautiful and I just ordered some more colors so stay tuned! Such a great brand that helps empower women! Go check them out!
Bare Mineral's Gen Nude Matte Liquid Lipstick in Friendship ($19): Again, if you have read my blog (the one on my sister's wedding makeup) you know I already rave about the Gen Nude Liquid Lipsticks by Bare Minerals. I just went and picked up another color during the Sephora VIB sale and I am so in love with this color. It is perfect for the holidays (I wore it on Thanksgiving) and it is so soft and comfortable!
Buxom Lip Polish in Moscow Mule: I have used these in the past and loved them so when they went on sale at Sephora for only $10 I had to get one! This is a color of gloss I wouldn't normally use but it goes with so many of my darker lipsticks! It is not tacky and it smells like cake (how could you not love that!?)
Burt's Bee's Tinted Lip Balm in Hibiscus: During the wintertime, chapstick & lip treatments are almost always what I reach for since I do get chapped lips. I have been loving this color of burt's bee's lip balm because it gives a natural color to the lip while still moisturizing and not drying them out!
Forever 21 Crushed Velvet Loafers ($10): I was so obsessed with these when I found them online and luckily enough I found them in store on black Friday when I was in Louisiana! I had to snatch them up, especially since they were only $10! They are so comfortable and adorable! I can't get enough of them!
Forever 21 Grey Mules ($20): I have been searching for affordable mules for months now! I finally found them in my size! I need to go back and get them in black and tan. They literally add just a little bit of flare to any outfit and are so classic!
November Spotify Playlist: So I am going to be creating a short playlist of songs that I listened to (way too much) this month! Hopefully you find something you like! Follow the link below.
