I didn't really have a lot of makeup items that I specifically loved in the month of September so I did not share a 'Monthly Favorites' post. But I feel like I have found a few items that I have been using and loving past two months! 😀
So today, I am talking about the products that I have grown fond of in the month of September and October. Here we go -
STILA Shimmer & Glow Liquid Eyeshadow in TWIG: I am pretty sure this is going to be in my Yearly Favorites 💓! I have worn this so many times this year, especially for special occasions. And more especially when I have Indian events where I get to dress up in full Indian Ethnic attires.
It is a stunning shade; a dark coppery brown that immediately makes me feel and look sultry. I LOVE it! It is very easy to apply; I pat it on and just blend it with my fingertips. I do one eye at a time because it gives me enough time to blend it without having any sharp edges in my crease area! I think it has the perfect drying time. I get a little bit of time to play with it but I don’t need to wait forever to move/blink my eyes waiting for the eyeshadow to dry! I typically wear it all-over my lid and blend it on the crease with a dark brown shade. It is fast, super easy and yet it looks as if I spent a lot of time and effort in creating the eye look 😁. It also has tremendous staying power. Also, I can glam it up even more by layering glitter on top of it. I have worn this again for my festive glam looks this month. I am absolutely in LOVE!
DANESSA MYRICKS Colorfix Cream Color Foil in Alien: I am still trying to get a hang of the packaging and usage of the tube, it kind of squirts out a lot of products almost every time I use. It is a bit uncontrollable and thus annoying. But the product itself is soooooo good! It is a foil cream eyeshadow...when I say it's foiled...it's FOILED. It has a lot of multicolor glitter on a sheer base; it is described as rose gold with silver undertone in their website. I can wear it with warm shades and cool shades equally. It sets very quickly so you have work very fast but it stays put all day long!
VISEART 12-pan Eyeshadow Palette in Editorial Brights: This was in my August Favorites and I am still having so much fun with this palette! Every time I pick up this palette to use (one or more shades), I feel happy. The looks come out great..all the colors show up as vibrant as they appear on the pan! I love the Yellow, and the Purple shades the most; they are simply amazing and you can already see I have made a little bit of dent in the yellow! The blue shades are a tad bit dry and takes effort in blending.
URBAN DECAY 12-hr Glide-On Eyeliner Pencils: I have loved these eye pencils from UD for a long time. These are mainly from a holiday set I got some time ago. And I am constantly using them since the beginning of quarantine (from when I started to play more with makeup)! The shades here are mostly jewel tone colors and it matches with the eye-looks I have been creating! I love them on my upper lid but I have been mainly using them on the inner rim - it does not stay on my outermost corner (which is a problem I always have with any eyeliners) but I really do love them.
KEVYN AUCOIN Glass Glow Face in Prism Rose: Earlier this year, I got a sample card of this product with 3 shades with a Sephora order. I took it with me when I went home (to India) and to my 5-day trip to SriLanka and I loved using it! I did not really purchased the full size right away as I fountd the retail price of 38$ to be a LOT. Eventually few months ago, I found it in Beautylish at half of the price and I snagged it! I Love it! It is a liquid-y highlighter, a little bit sticky may be? But I do not mind it a bit! I will review it in detail in the coming weeks.
RITUEL DE FILLE Inner Glow Creme Pigment in Delirium and Rare Light Creme Luminizer in Solaris: This brand has to be my most favorite discovery of this year. I tried their Bloodflower Color Nectar Balm (reviewed here) and Alchemist Highlighter which were in my past monthly favorites! This Delirium shade as blush is amazing; very flattering on my skin-tone especially during this time of the year. It is a beautiful orange, burnt reddish type of a shade and I love it. Solaris is a very unique highlighter in my collection! It is a warm champagne type of a shade with a very strong red-pink undertone. It almost has a flip to it! I find it very flattering on my tan olive skin-tone. It is not an everyday, wearable shade but I love how unique it is!
JDGLOW Cosmetics Single Eyeshadows in Anomaly, Volcano, Prismatic, Lemonade, Unexpected, Good Gawd, Lavender and DEVINAH Cosmetics Single Eyeshadows in Salvatore, Blazed, Cleopatra, Kazookles, Rainbow Blossom, Confetti Kisses, Ilithiya: After researching for years, this year I finally have started to try out Indie Makeup brands! And I am in love! These eyeshadows are stunning! I have so much to say about these but I will reserve my thoughts for the dedicated review post! All you need to know is that I absolutely LOVE them! Absolutely!
KOSAS Kosasport Lip Fuel in Pulse and BUXOM Evocative Petal: I have been having so much fun with eyeshadows that my love for lipstick is getting a little bit sidetracked. That combined with the current condition of the world with mask and all, has really reduced the number of occasions I have been able to use bold lip colors. I have been loving these two products though. They are very neutral and quite a perfect nude shade on me! Goes quite well with all the crazy colors I have been wearing on my eyes. (PS: The Buxom one has been discontinued!)
That was it for this time! Almost 2 months for the Yearly Round Up! I am excited to figure out and compile the products that I loved and enjoyed all year round!
Love
