January Beauty Favorites

Still Winter over here. I know, I can't stop thinking about it. That means I'll keep complaining about it. When it's summer, I'll start complaining it's too hot.

At least there's makeup. All day, errday. I'm one of those people that can't leave the house without it. I have to put on the basics, at least. My bare face has aged, even though I totally feel like I'm still in my twenties. I don't want to grow up!

Smashbox Camera Ready CC Cream - I recently found this glorious skin enhancing beauty about a year ago. It's a sheer cream with just enough coverage to even out my face. It's so lightweight and doesn't wipe off all over Anabelle's clothes or face. That alone sold me. 

Smashbox Camera Ready BB Eye Cream - Hands down, this is THE BEST concealer I have ever came across. I've tried so many different kinds, and I could never find something that didn't cake and make me look haggard. If I was on a desert island, and could only have one makeup essential, I would pick this. I know, it's THAT good. I think it's why I keep getting carded.

Beneft POREfessional - This cream minimizes my pores. Slightly, but enough to be noticeable. You know how Charlotte confessed she use to examine her pores in the mirror for an hour each night? Guilty. Except, not for an hour. I have a child now. 

Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette - These colors are all a simple neutral. Perfect for that everyday look. 

Benefit Mascara - I love this mascara! It makes my lashes a lot longer than anything else. It's pretty much THE BEST. I said that already, huh. Okay, it's SO FREAKING AWESOME. 

Nars Matte Lipstick - I'm loving this dark color in Volga. I feel like a lioness when I wear it. Yes, it's that powerful.

Are there any beauty essentials I need to know about? Tell me. I have a Sephora gift card burning a hole in my wallet. 

Fall Nail Colors

Covergirl Outlast in Wine Stain // Sally Hansen in Golden Rule // Essie in Berry Naughty // 

Sally Hansen in Gray-t Escape

What's a better way to start off Monday morning than talking about beautiful nail colors for Fall? I absolutely love all of these colors. It makes beanie and scarf weather a little more bearable. These colors are a perfect way to get your nails beautiful for Thanksgiving (and Christmas). I always feel a bit more festive when my nails are glammed up, don't you?

Wine Stain // This has been my go-to color since late September. I absolutely love it, because it's dark enough to be a little edgy, but not to dark to be ominous. It's all about balance.

Golden Rule // I picked this up not too long ago, and I think this would look great for the holidays. Maybe even swept on top of another color for a quick glitterscape. 

Berry Naughty // The name says is all, just a little naughty mixed with a dark red.

Gray-t Escape // This color is a mix between gray and pink. It's very feminine without being too girly.

Are there any colors that you've been loving lately? Let's swap beauty faves! Tell me something I don't really need to buy, so I can add it to my ridiculous collection of products.

Have a great Monday, ladies! I have a sweet Thanksgiving-inspired DIY tomorrow. Don't miss it.
