So December is finally here, countdown till my bday. For most this is an exciting countdown but for me it is a depressing one. It's a countdown of my youth withering away slowly. Haha I know I'm being SUPER dramatic but hey it's how I feel lol. I can imagine it'll be worse as I get older but there is nothing I can do to stop me from getting older =[
Anyhoo this is a post of products I used and loved last month. I'll start from left to right.
1.
Maybelline's dream lumi concealer- I have the shade radiant and it's a brightening pinky shade. To be honest it might be a little to light for me but it really does brighten and highlights well. I like it for those days that I don't get a lot of sleep or I just want to look extra awake and bright and glowy. Now when I say glowy I don't mean shimmery, there is no shimmer in this product, the shade just brightens and makes you look healthy.

L'oreal extra volume collagen mascara- I've been using this mascara all month as my first layer. I'm the type to layer them so I use this one with Tarte's Lights camera lashes mascara. This one is in waterproof, and I like how it holds the curl of my lashes. Also it's a very dry formula and those with straight lashes know that dry formulas don't weigh down your lashes. It does have a large fiber brush but I find it easy enough to apply. It does not lengthen at all but I mean it is labeled a volumizing mascara.

Revlon's lipstick in Fabulous Fig- Dark lips are in trend for fall and I'm sure it will follow into winter. I've loved this color for a while and I first saw it on
Sccastaneda's youtube videos. It's a hard color to find but I bought mine from Rite Aid. It comes in two formulas, the one I have it in is in the color stay formula which goes on creamy and then sets on your lips and lasts for a while, then the other is the matte formula. I like the formula I have because I don't have to worry about it getting all over my face, as it does transfer a bit but not a lot.

Revlon's lipstick in Va Va Violet- I know, I know, this lipstick looks black in the tube but its purple on the lips. I've never tried this lipstick on its own only because it looks scary but mixed with Fabulous Fig it looks so good in my opinion. Fabulous fig is more reddish brown but mixed with Va Va Violet it gives it a more plummy purple look.

Bed Head Masterpiece Hairspray- THIS HAIRSPRAY SMELLS AMAZING!!!! That and it holds great. I'm not sure if it adds shine or not, my hair is already shiny so I can't tell. But I would recommend this on the smell alone. If you don't like sweet smells stay away from this but I love it.
6.
Marshmallow Fireside scent from Bath and Body Works- I love this scent!!!! Smells soo good. Like I said I love sweet smells but this has a hint of smokiness from the "smoldering woods". I have it in the wallflower form but they also have this scent in candle form and its so good. Make sure you look out for coupons and sales, Bath and Body works always has great deals!
