Hello lovelies! I can’t believe we’re already in October! Where has this year went?! Hope each of you had a fantastic weekend doing something fun! I had a busy one trying to get caught up on cleaning and housework (yuck!) But it was a good one, nevertheless and I did get to enjoy some down time with my boys. Without further adieu, here’s my five beauty faves for the month of September!
September Beauty Favorites
- Wet n’ Wild Megalast Lipstick in Sugar Plum Fairy– If you’ve been following along with me on my Insta lately, you’ve probably noticed I’ve been rocking mostly darker lips. I especially love deep berry shades and dark purples like this one by Wet n’ Wild. It’s a definite must-have for the season, and the staying power is awesome!
- Milani Baked Blush in Berry Amore– I have never been so obsessed with a blush than I am with this gorgeous one by Milani. I have been wearing it literally on the daily. It’s such a pretty peachy/pink shade and the quality is ah-mazing! I want to go back and buy all of Milani’s baked blushes now that I’ve grown to adore this one so much.
- Yes to Miracle Oil Argan Oil– As mentioned before, I have dry skin and I’ve been on the hunt for something that would help create a brighter, healthier looking complexion. These argan oil drops have been a miracle worker for my skin. I’ve been applying just 1-2 tiny drops in my palm every night before bed and applying all over the face. The next morning I’m not even kidding my skin is so much more moisturized and my makeup applies more beautiful than ever. Highly recommend if you deal with dryness. Sidenote, you can also create simple scrubs for the face by mixing this product with everyday household ingredients like brown sugar, so it’s a great multi-purpose item to have. 🙂
- Wet n’ Wild Megalast Salon Nail Color in Haze of Love- I’m currently wearing this shade on my toenails, and I love it! The color is the perfect shade for fall and I’m thinking it would go perfect with gold accents if you wanted to create a really pretty manicure. These nail polishes are one of Wet n’ Wild’s newest nail lines, and I must say so far I’m impressed. The brush is a “ManiCurve Pro Brush” and applies color to the nails quite easily. It does take some getting used to as the brush is a bit wider than normal brushes, but in the end I actually preferred this brush tip to others.
- E.l.f. High Definition Translucent Powder- I’m one of those lucky people who ALWAYS has to set their under eye area to avoid my concealer from creasing, so instead of spending a fortune, I thought I’d first give this e.l.f. translucent powder a try- which a ton of people said was a dupe for the more expensive ones . I am happy to confirm this product is awesome, and I’m not sure why you would ever buy anything else. It does an amazing job for setting the under eye area, and is perfect for “baking”. As it’s less than 6 bucks, I’ll definitely be re-purchasing this product in the future!

That blush is beautiful!! I also am intrigued by that setting powder. I love when I find an ELF product that does a great job for such a steal! I love an ELF blush, lipstick and several of their brushes.
Me too! Why spend $20 on something when you can get it for $1 and it works just as great!
That blush is gorgeous!! I love the shimmer undertones in it!! I may have to check that out! Thanks for sharing!

I love that lip color!!! Perfect for the Fall! I need to check out that elf powder! I am currently using Tarte’s translucent powder.
Maybe I’m crazy, but this e.l.f. one is amazing and I simply can’t justify spending any more than $6 when I’ve found one that works so well! Love scoring products like that! 🙂
How gorgeous is that baked blush – LOVE!
Green Fashionista
I’m seriously obsessed! 🙂
Too funny, I just got some of that E.l.f. powder a couple weeks ago at target and I love it! I hope you’re having a great start to your week!
Yay! It works wonders for my laugh/smile lines! 😉

You will be all about it once you open it, girl! It’s seriously so pretty! 🙂
I love Milani Berry Amore! It looks glittery in the pan which made me nervous but doesn’t show up on your face.
I had the same concerns initially but it’s so gorgeous! Glad you love it too!
I love going dark this time of year. I have a lipstick and a few nail polishes in those same shades and love them. Deep reds and purples are perfect for this time of year 🙂 I really want to try that baked blush. I’ve been meaning to try it and just haven’t yet so maybe I’ll have to pick it up the next time I’m at the store.

Ooh I’m going to try that setting powder! I love a good dupe!
Yep, it works awesome! They also have a yellow color correcting one too, which I haven’t tried yet.
Love your fall beauty picks! I need to buy that nail polish!
Thank-you! It’s pretty and at less than $2 a total steal!
I love E.L.F. products! I have recently fallen in love with an organic mascara [that works great!]. It is Physicians Formula Organic Wear 100% Natural Origin Mascara. It is seriously amazing and affordable for an organic mascara!

I swear by that elf setting powder! Love it! Although I haven’t tried “baking” yet. And love that Wet ‘n Wild lipstick color! SO gorgeous for fall and winter! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes
I was/am so impressed with it! It’s like why would you ever spend more on that?! Baking is new territory to me too! 😉
Wet n’ Wild?! I remember using their nail polish as a teenager. I’m RUNNING out to get this shade – it’s beautiful and totally in my budget 😉
It’s really pretty! & so far so good as far as the staying power goes! 🙂
I need to pick up that lipstick! I love Milani baked blushes as well.
Aren’t they gorgeous?! I was kind of like um what rock have I been living under that I haven’t used those before-haha! 😉
The Argan oil is the best. Time to get some darker nail polish for fall, love the color.
