Happy Monday! It’s time for my monthly beauty faves! Hopefully each of you enjoyed some time off for the Thanksgiving holiday and were able to get your fill of yummy food! I spent the majority of my long weekend relaxing with the kiddos, watching movies, playing outside, and doing some online shopping.
I also watched the Gilmore Girls- A Year in the Life Netflix series, which was awesome and the ending left me in full blown shock mode! No worries I won’t release any spoilers! 🙂 Of course a long holiday weekend wouldn’t be complete without catching a yucky cold, so Saturday and Sunday were spent mostly on the couch resting up. I’m back at work today, so wish me luck and hopefully I’ll be back to my healthy self soon enough!
-
Garnier Skin Renew 5 Second Blur Instant Smoother– As much as I love benefit porefessional primer, I’ve been on the hunt for something a little less expensive and less drying during the winter months. This product definitely fits the bill and helps keep my foundation looking great all day long, especially around my problem zones like underneath the nose and on my chin. Love!
-
Maybelline Lip Studio Color Blur in Plum, Please– I’m really loving the lip studio line by Maybelline and this “Plum, Please” shade is the prettiest color for fall and winter. These pencils have a cream matte finish and glide on the lips effortlessly. I also bought the shade pink insanity, which will be so pretty in the spring months. 🙂
- Philosophy Land of Sweets Bath Set– I recently purchased these when they were on sale, and they all smell amazing! The hot cocoa one is definitely my fave, but all three of them are perfect to use during the holiday months. These make great gifts too!
- Rimmel Oh My Gloss in Rebel Red– I’ve been trying to find a pretty red lip gloss shade for Christmas, and this one is perfect! This shade has blue undertones to it and is a deeper red which really pops when paired with a more subtle eye makeup look. I also love the amount of sheen each of these glosses have and even the clear gloss is pretty.
- Pixi By Petra Beauty Blush Duo + Kabuki in Rose Gold– If there’s a top obsession on my list this month, this by far would be it! First off, the brush that comes with this set, is amazing! Second, while this duo claims it is a blush, it is more on the highlight end of the spectrum and it is so gorgeous! The way I apply it is I take the kabuki brush, swipe it in a circular motion over the pink and gold product and apply to the apples of my cheeks. Trust me when I say, everyone will be complimenting you when you wear this product! So, so gorgeous!
Shop my faves!
What’d you do over Thanksgiving break? Did you venture out on Black Friday? Let me know in the comments!
Thanks for stopping by!-Cara

November 29, 2016 at 9:12 amAlways an excuse to stop by Target, right?! 😉 Thanks I’m feeling much better now!
chanel says
November 28, 2016 at 9:16 amI love the Garner skin blur! I also have their blurring foundation and it’s amazing!
Kindly Unspoken says
November 29, 2016 at 9:12 amOh I’m glad to hear that! How is the coverage with the foundation?
candy says
November 28, 2016 at 9:19 amLove how you always show us where to go for some of the best beauty products. Never over look the local drugstores.
Kindly Unspoken says
November 29, 2016 at 9:12 amExactly! You never know what hidden gems you might find! 🙂
Alexandra Yargeau says
November 28, 2016 at 9:29 amWhat is the white end on the color blur for? I love that mauve/plum shade you picked!
Kindly Unspoken says
November 29, 2016 at 9:13 amIt is for blending the lip product out on the edges ( I guess to give the appearance of a fuller lip) I haven’t really used it at all, so not sure there’s usefulness in that part- but the lip color itself is gorgeous! 🙂
Lily says
November 28, 2016 at 9:39 amI really like those Maybelline lippies, they are so comfortable!

Chrissa - Physical Kitchness says
November 28, 2016 at 9:53 amHappy Monday Cara! That pixi blush looks so perfect for any shade of skin! I need something lighter on my cheeks since I usually opt for bronzer and I think I’m doing it all wrong!!! LOL!
Kindly Unspoken says
November 29, 2016 at 9:21 amIt has the perfect amount of rosy color to it, as well as a touch of shimmer that highlights the skin beautifully! I think it’d look great on you! 🙂
Chelsea says
November 28, 2016 at 10:00 amI’d heard SO many good things about Color Blur!!
Kindly Unspoken says
November 29, 2016 at 9:22 amMe too! I’m definitely impressed with it so far!
Mistle says
November 28, 2016 at 10:04 amI need to try that primer! I find that since it has gotten colder here my skin has dried out with my current primer. I love philosophy shower gels! That lip color looks so pretty!
Kindly Unspoken says
November 29, 2016 at 9:24 amThat was what was happening with porefessional on my skin, so I needed something a bit more moisturizing. And those shower gels smell ah-mazing girl! 🙂
Lauren Stockton says
November 28, 2016 at 10:21 amI should try that primer! This is the first year I’m living somewhere with an actual winter and my skin is drying out so much! Thanks 🙂
Kindly Unspoken says
November 29, 2016 at 9:25 amYou’re welcome! I’ve found it’s helpful for my skin which tends to dry out in the winter months. 🙂
chelsea jacobs says
November 28, 2016 at 11:06 amI definitely need to try that smoothing primer!
Kindly Unspoken says
November 29, 2016 at 9:26 amI’ve been impressed with it so far! It’s not at all drying on the skin! 🙂
Rebecca Jo says
November 28, 2016 at 12:04 pmLove that blush set mainly for the brush 🙂
Glad for the GG Spoiler free zone 😉
Kindly Unspoken says
November 29, 2016 at 9:26 amI know! That brush is awesome! 🙂
Tanya Dufour says
November 28, 2016 at 12:30 pmI really need to try some stuff from Pixi! That duo looks so nice! I haven’t watch Gilmore Girls since I was in HS which was a long time ago! Is this reboot only one season?
Kindly Unspoken says
November 29, 2016 at 9:28 amIt’s a four episode mini-series- each 90 minutes long. That show and One Tree Hill always instantly make me feel like I’m back in high school. lol
Rachel Ritlop says
November 29, 2016 at 9:40 amOMG YASSS! OTH!! That show i could watch all day everyday! I never get sick of it lol

Emily says
November 28, 2016 at 1:52 pmI’ll have to try that Garnier primer! Sounds perfect for winter.
Kindly Unspoken says
November 29, 2016 at 9:41 amIt is! Most primers are so drying nowadays, but this one was very moisturizing, thankfully. 🙂
Courtney Patterson says
November 28, 2016 at 2:06 pmI need to try that blush duo – it looks amazing!
Kindly Unspoken says
November 29, 2016 at 9:30 amIt’s so pretty! It’s honestly more of a highlight than a blush, but still gorgeous nonetheless.

Sierra says
November 28, 2016 at 3:45 pmLove your finds! My skin is constantly drying out in the winter so I’m going to look into that primer. My skin is very sensitive though so I always get shy when it comes to trying something new. Beautifully Candid
Kindly Unspoken says
November 29, 2016 at 9:42 amI’ve found since it is from a skincare brand, it’s actually really moisturizing on the skin. I have sensitive skin too, so hopefully it would work for you too! 🙂
Sarah @ Bows & Clothes says
November 28, 2016 at 4:48 pmI hope you feel better! I have a bad cold too. I think it’s just the time of year. I have been looking for a really good primer, and this one looks so great! I may have to try that highlight from Pixi! Thanks for sharing this!

November 28, 2016 at 6:37 pmI haven’t seen anyone else talk about the Maybeline Color Blur! It stays on the lips so nicely. Berry Misbehaved is my favorite:

November 29, 2016 at 9:49 amIt’s good if you want something a bit more moisturizing! 🙂
Sarah Jean Althouse says
November 29, 2016 at 8:23 amAfter I use up some of my old products the Pixi brand is definitely on my list to try!
Kindly Unspoken says
November 29, 2016 at 9:38 amThey are a little bit more pricey than most drugstore, but worth the splurge in my opinion. The quality is definitely there! 🙂
Cait Weingartner says
November 29, 2016 at 8:30 amI just love finding new drugstore bargains! This looks like a great collection too. I’m definitely going to be trying that red lip gloss and make up brush!
