I can’t believe it is almost December! I am so excited for Christmas and I’ve already got all of my shopping done. I even have everything wrapped! What can I say…I love shopping, even if it’s for other people, haha.
So, I’ve rounded up some beauty products that I’ve really been loving lately. Here they are!
MAKEUP
I absolutely love a glittery, sparkly, shimmery lid when it comes to eye makeup, and these Stila Glitter And Glow Liquid Eye Shadows are BOMB. They are chock full of beautiful glittery goodness. I only have one shade, Smoky Storm…but I NEED more. I use this overtop of a powder eye shadow to add a little bit (or a lotta bit) of extra sparkle, OR I dip my eyeliner brush in it and use it underneath my lash line. SO good for holiday parties!
Also for my eyes, I’ve been ditching the black liner and going for a softer option, like this Urban Decay 24/7 pencil in Demolition. This is a matte dark brown that I like to smoke out on my upper lash line. It doesn’t look as harsh as black and is really pretty with warmer toned shadows.
HAIR
I have been using a few new hair products this month, first is this Neutrogena Anti Residue Shampoo. I use a lot of hair products in my hair (hairspray, dry shampoo, texture spray, wave spray) and since I don’t wash my hair every day, those products tend to build up. I use this shampoo just about once a week and it gets my hair super squeaky clean. I actually really love the smell too. My hair feels so clean and shiny after I use this.
For dry shampoo, I’ve been using this Organix Coconut Miracle Oil dry shampoo. I love anything coconut scented, and this smells really nice without being super overpowering. It reminds me of the beach and it does a good job of getting rid of oil and adding some volume to my hair. I spray this in, put a shower cap on, take a shower, and then after my shower I brush it out and style it. Works like a charm.
Lastly for hair is this Kristin Ess Dry Finish Working Texture Spray. This is supposed to be a “dupe” for that Oribe Spray everyone loves. I use this to add some texture and some hold to my hair after I curl it. I prefer beachier, looser waves versus curls, and this gives me exactly that look. It doesn’t make my hair crunchy or greasy, just adds a little bit of grip and volume. LOVE IT.
NAILS
I’ve got two nail colors that have been on rotate this month. They are both shiny metallics, which I always gravitate towards. Essie Gel Couture in Daring Damsel is a pewter gold color that is so nice and not streaky. Essie Gel Couture is my favorite for long lasting nail color.
The other color is OPI Cozu-melted in the Sun. This is a sparkly rose gold color that is from OPI’s summer collection. This color is beautiful!
What are your faves this month?
Thanks for reading! xx
I noticed pinks and golds becoming faves! I love these colors!!
Thank you!!! Yes, pink and gold are definitely my go to colors 🙂
That gold Stila liner and Demolition look absolutely gorgeous swatched together! I think I’m going to add the gift set from Stila to my wish list because I want some strong glitters but I can’t handle the fall-out. With the Stila product, there’s no fall-out, right?
Thank you! These are definite super strong glitters! I haven’t gotten any fall out at all from it. You’ll love them 🙂
