Makeup Bag Essentials: November

*Nothing to Disclose

It's that time again, Time to switch up the makeup routine. Honestly, my routine rarely changes. I may switch up colors but overall things stay the same. That being said I'll tell you about a few of my new additions. 

For fall I'm loving the Revlon Lip Butter in Berry Smoothie. It's the perfect balmy berry color that's not too dark for me to pull off. I own a few other colors and of the few I have this is the least pigmented. I think that works in it's favor in this instance. I'm not big on the bright lips.

One thing I have changed recently is my foundation. I've been struggling with liquid foundations for years and I'm never happy with the result. They always find their way to break down on my nose and give me trouble. So I switched to a powder foundation. I got a sample of the Bare Minerals loose foundation and I've been loving it. There is still some break down, but since you need so little to get good coverage it's not bad. I know I'll be buying the full size when I run out of my sample.

My last new product that I'm in LOVE with is the ELF Lip Exfoliator. It's by far the most convenient lip scrub I've come across and I love it. I can't say enough good things about it. 

So those are the new things in my makeup bag. As the months go on you'll find that the other things very rarely change. 

Wet n Wild Fall Mattes

*Purchased by me

I love nail polish. There's no denying it, but I'm not the biggest fan of matte finishes. So when I saw this collection I was skeptical, but at less than 2 dollars a bottle it's worth a shot. This collection has six gorgeous colors and I love them all for fall. 

I do have to say these don't really dry to a matte finish. They have more of a satin finish which I like a bit more than flat matte. Every time I've wear these colors I still put on a top coat. It just makes the polish last longer.

The colors from left to right on the swatch wheel are: Rouge 66, Echo Dark, Berry on Trend, Distressed to Impress, Careful, It's Vine-tage, and LAC-My Mani? All of the swatches are three coats no top coat. 

My favorites are the winter white, the purple, and the brown. I've really been into neutrals recently, and that winter white/creamy color is the perfect undies for so many toppers. 

I've seen these at several Walgreen's stores, and all of them are still in great supply. These are limited edition so if you're interested, go grab them up.
