Better Late Then Never Right?

It has been almost a month since the last time I updated my blog.. Wow, I definitely feel like I fell off the blogging train but I'm now back to blog! ( atleast for a while :] ) And I'm sure you can tell from the title that it's going to be a October monthly favorites post right? ( Okay maybe not.. ) Well I better not keep blabbing on and just get right into the star products! 

P.S. I do apologize for the not so great photos because now that's in winter here in Canada, I'm not getting enough hours of sunlight so please bare with me! =)

The Stars! 

- Urban Decay Original Naked Palette 

- Loreal Colour Riche Balm in 818 Nourishing Nude

- Loreal Colour Riche Balm in 218 Rose Elixir

- Maybelline Baby Lips in Quenched 

- Maybelline Dream Lumi Concealer in Buff

- MAC Blush in Pink Tea ( Limited Edition ) 

- Lancome Teint Idole Ultra 24H Foundation in Buff 230W

Swatches! From Left to Right

Nourishing Nude, Rose Elixir & Pink Tea

Tidbits! 

- Ah yes, I have included the most loved neutral colored palette yet again. You just can't get enough of neutrals, the color that I have used most is Sidecar, Buck, Sin and Naked. If you still haven't gotten your hands on this palette or Naked2 palette then I suggest you do, definitely a makeup item to splurge on but so worth it ( in my opinion ) =] 

- As I said before it's winter time where I live so my lips are definitely feeling the effects and trust me having cracked/dry lips isn't cute! And I have to say that the Loreal Colour Riche balms and Maybelline Baby Lips have been saving my lips and will definitely have a place in my makeup bag. They are both moisturizing and makes your lips look smooth and it will definitely come in handy cause Christmas and New Years is just around the corner ;) 

- I'm sure you guys know by now that I have a thing for blushes! I swear I have enough to last me a couple years... HAHA! So I have been going through my collection and seeing if I can find new favorites or rediscover some old favorites! When I came across Pink Tea, I knew it was going to be a new favorite; in the pan it may appear a little light but it'll appear darker when applied to the cheeks. 

- I will be doing a review on the Lancome foundation pretty soon! So watch out for that! =) 

Now here are some nail polish favorites! 

From Left to Right! 

- Revlon: Pale Cashmere 

- MAC: In The Limelight ( Limited Edition ) 

- Essie: Pilates Hottie ( Limited Edition ) 

- Essie: No Place Like Chrome ( Limited Edition ) 

- Butter London: Fairy Cake ( Limited Edition ) 

TIP! If you apply Revlon's Pale Cashmere as a basic colour and then apply Butter London's Fairy Cake on top, it seriously looks like snowfalls on your nails and it totally reminds me of Christmas =] ( At least to me.. lol! ) 

Well that's all that I have to share for now! I should warn you that the next couple posts are going to be haul posts so hopefully I won't be bringing the shopaholics in you guys hehe =)

Tidbits!

- I bought the Guerlain Meteorites powder on a whim and at the time when I bought it, it was the talked about product on the blogs I was reading. First Impressions: It gives me the glow-y yet somewhat matte and I liked that =) With this and the Urban Decay setting spray, it is the duo for long lasting makeup! 

- I'm sure that I have mentioned this before but MAC Melba blush is slowly becoming a favorite/staple in my makeup collection! In the pan it looks like a light peach-y orange shade, but when I apply it to the face it comes out a little darker and I can see it as a contouring shade for me. It's like a 2 in 1 product! 

- I will have to admit that I absolutely hated the Loreal Lineur Intense Liquid Brush Tip Eyeliner and now I'm liking it! I think the problem was that I didn't know how to control it and also the brush tip applicator was really flimsy. But now with a really steady hand, it's actually pretty easy to use! Definitely recommend to others that have used eyeliner for a long time but not for beginners. 

- Speaking of eyeliners, there's another one that I have been liking last month and it's the Dollywink liquid eyeliner because the applicator is a really fine pointy brush tip so you can really get the precise line that you need/want. Sadly I didn't get much backup of this when I was in HK back in May =( 

- Have to say that Maybelline is probably one of my favorite drugstore brands because I'm a fan of their eyeshadow and mascara! I recently started using Define-A-Lash and I have to say that it really does define each of my lashes! I first have to have a good curl on them from my eyelash curler and then I would wiggle the brush from the bottom to the tip of my eyelashes, then it would give me the best results! FACT~ I think for me I look for more definition in my lashes then for volume =) 

Well that's all for my monthly favorites of September! What were some of your favorites of that month? 

P.S! Have any of you guys picked up anything from the MAC Marilyn Monroe collection this past week? If you did then you're very lucky cause I heard that it sold out within 2 hours being available online on the official MAC website crazyyy!! O_O
