Happy November! I hope you had a fun, safe Halloween and managed to keep warm. It’s really starting to get cold out! And I’m totally not ready for it. I love to pile on makeup. Not clothes. Clothes can be so uncomfortable sometimes. But makeup? It’s all good, all the time! Especially around the holiday season. That’s when all the good stuff comes out! October was filled with new, amazing products that seemed to wiggle their way into my makeup loving heart. Here’s a list of all the goodies I couldn’t get enough of:

Milani Constellation Gel Eye Liners Enchanted Emerald and Enchanted Lapis will be in rotation for quite some time because I love them! A lot. They’re super creamy and look absolutely gorgeous in the pan and on the lids. Both shades really compliment my brown eyes and they’re loaded with glitter. Who doesn’t love glitter? I sure do!

Milani Enchanted Ruby Matte Lip Art Lipstick There’s nothing like a deep, sultry red lipstick for fall! Enchanted Ruby looks amazing against my skin tone and delivers lots of glamour. I love how it looks paired with a vampy lip liner and lots of lashes!

Milani Enchanted Amethyst Matte Lip Art Lipstick Don’t you just love a good dupe? Not only is Enchanted Amethyst super similar to the elusive RiRi Boy but it performs just as well too! It’s so creamy and the color is just beautiful. Milani needs to make it permanent!

Maybelline Mesmerizing Magenta Color Sensational Matte Lipstick Just as I was about to give up hope on the new Maybelline mattes, Mesmerizing Magenta comes in and saves the day! The formula is so creamy, lightweight and comfortable to wear. And the color? Lovely! It has this cool duo-chrome effect that looks amazing on the lips. I can’t get enough of it!

Makeup Forever Pro Finish Powder When I’m feeling too lazy for liquid foundation this is the product I reach for to achieve an even, smooth complexion. You’d be surprised how much coverage this stuff has! It evens my skin tone nicely and keeps my shine at bay all while looking natural. It’s my holy grail powder!

Smashbox Violet Always Sharp Lip Liner I don’t usually go crazy over lip liners but I love this thing! The formula is definitely something to rave about but the packaging deserves lots of praise too. This liner is literally Always Sharp! I’m able to create the most precise of lines every time with this baby!

Bite Beauty Agave Lip Mask I can’t rave about this stuff enough! My lips can get crazy dry and flaky but applying this lip mask every night really changes thing. I don’t have to exfoliate as much and my lips are so much softer since I’ve started using it. I highly recommend grabbing a sample if you haven’t tried it yet!

NARS Siam Matte Multiple There’s a ton of things I love about NARS but Siam is probably at the top of the list right now. This blush is bomb! It’s incredibly bright and pigmented but surprisingly very easy to wear. You can sheer it out or go all out with bold cheeks. The choice is yours!

MAC Fashion Revival Lipstick This lipstick is a fairly new addition to my stash but I’ve been wearing it so much that I couldn’t leave it out! Fashion Revival has the perfect amount of berry to make it unique and fall ready. Oh, and the formula is so smooth and creamy you’ll forget you’re wearing a matte lipstick!

Physician’s Formula Bronze Booster Airbrush Bronzing Veil Welcome to glow city! This bronzer is both pigmented and loaded with lots of sparkle. Just a tiny swipe makes my cheeks glow in the dark. If it was available back in the day every bronze goddess would be rocking it!

MAC La Vie en Rouge Lipstick Fall is usually all about the vampy shades but La Vie en Rouge is definitely spicing things up! This bold coral seriously pops against my brown skin and it wears pretty nicely too. I love how it looks on its own but it looks even more amazing paired with vampy lip liners!
