I know what you’re thinking. It’s December 9th and my November favorites are JUST going up. But, better late than never right?! I have so many awesome things to share with you so let’s just get started!

Hair Care

Macadamia Deep Repair Masque – So in the month of November, I got rid of my blonde ombre and went RED! My hair was in total need of TLC and I spotted this in my bathroom and remembered how much I loved it! It made my hair feel like it had some life again after all of the dying I did! It can be a bit pricey, but so worth it! Buy Here – $33

Bath & Body 

Bath & Body Works Winter Candy Apple Fragrance Spray – I absolutely love this time of year when B&BW releases all of their Winter scents! I stocked up on a bunch of these sprays last year so I wouldn’t have to repurchase again this year. I have this mini one in my purse and a larger one on the bathroom counter.  I also drench myself in the lotion as well. Buy Here – $8 – $14

Lush Snow Fairy Shower Gel * – I did an entire review on this product earlier in the month of November and I am completely obsessed. I have been trying to use it sparingly because it’s limited edition for the Holidays and I know as soon as I use it up, it will be gone! It smells like Christmas candy in a bottle. If you have a LUSH near you, go get this! Buy Here – $9.95-$29.95

Nail Care 

Nail Butter * – I have been getting so many questions / compliments on how long my nails have gotten the past few weeks and I owe it all to Nail Butter! Nail Butter not only strengthens your nails but it also enhances growth! You are guaranteed to see stronger, longer nails in just 2 weeks and I have to say that is absolutely the truth! It is made with all natural ingredients and is cruelty free. My nails have never felt better! Buy Here – $19.50

Makeup 

Jouer Matte Moisture Tint in Nude* – I have been looking for a light weight medium coverage foundation for awhile now, and I have officially found my holy grail. I have heard Ingrid or MissGlamorazzi talk so highly of this product and I knew I had to give it a try. (She never steers me wrong!) The matte moisture tint has SPF 15 and is oil-free. I have been using my beauty blender to apply this and it looks absolutely flawless on my skin! You can build up the coverage if you want, but I find two thin layers works perfectly for me! Fantastic Fall / Winter foundation! Buy Here – $38

MAC Pro Longwear Concealer – Another ‘Youtube made me do it’ purchase. Casey Holmes (ItsBlondie) and Jaclyn Hill RAVE about this concealer. I have been using my NARS Radiant creamy concealer non stop, but wanted to try something different with a little more coverage. HOLY CRAP you guys! Talk about completely erasing dark circles! This is definitely a concealer I will be re purchasing again & again! You only need a TINY bit. My shade is in NW20 and matches perfect! Buy Here – $19
Dior Diorskin Nude Compact* – This has been sitting in my makeup collection for a hot minute. I decided to give it a try one day and I LOVE it. It doesn’t make your face look cakey and is so lightweight and silky. It is a bit pricey, so this will definitely be a splurge. But if the drugstore powders just aren’t doing it for you, you might want to give this a try! Buy Here – $50
Jordana Best Length Extreme Mascara & Jordana 12 Hour Shadow Pencil* – Moving onto a few drugstore items, these have been in my daily makeup routine for the entire month of November. The Jordana mascara is wonderful! It lengthens, separates & curls and makes my lashes look incredible! Buy Here – $3.99
I have been using the Jordana eyeshadow pencil in Continuous Almond as a base for my next favorite. It’s the perfect skintone color and makes my shadows look incredibly vibrant. Best of all, it doesn’t crease & lasts a long time on the lid! Buy Here – $3.99
It Cosmetics Eyeshadow Trio in Naturally Pretty In Plum* – Okay WHY does no one talk about these!? I have several of these convenient trios and I absolutely love them! They are super pigmented and creamy and perfect for when you’re in a hurry! I would highly recommend checking these out! They are fab! I definitely need more! Buy Here – $24
NARS Blush in Sin – Perfect PERFECT Fall / Winter blush color! Sin is a gorgeous plum shade with light golden shimmer throughout. It is highly pigmented so make sure you use a light hand or dab off the excess from your brush. NARS blushes have become a recent obsession of mine! I picked up a few more with my $20 off $50 VIB card and can’t wait to use them!  Buy Here – $29
Tarte Off The Cuff Blush Palette * – I did an entire review on this palette HERE so I won’t go into too much detail. I absolutely love this palette and how convenient it is! If you spot it at your local Sephora, grab it! 

Smashbox Soft Lights Shimmer Highlight* – AHH! Obsessed. That’s the only word I can use to describe my love for this highlighter. I know I’m probably way late to the game in discovering this, but wow. It is so silky smooth to the touch and looks WONDERFUL on the skin! It provides just the right amount of highlight –  Gorgeous! Buy Here – $30
Becca Skin Perfector in Opal* – Another beautiful highlight I am obsessed with! If I want more of a glow, I will use Opal. It is a gorgeous champagne color that is soft & pigmented. A little goes a long way with this product so be careful! Buy Here – $38

Nivea A Kiss Of Olive Oil & Lemon Lip Balm *- It is extremely cold and dry here in CT and my lips need all of the TLC they can get! I honestly didn’t think I would like this based on the description, but honestly it has no smell or taste. I have been using it every night before bed and my lips have never felt better! Buy Here – $2.99
Lipsticks in MAC Rebel, MAC Syrup & NARS Damage

All 3 of these have been in constant rotation for the entire month of November. I love a dark vampy lip and also a plum lip and these three have been PERFECT! 
Buy MAC > HERE – $15
Buy NARS > HERE – $26
Swatches

IT Cosmetics Eyeshadow Trio : 

RANDOM! 

byAlegory Lipstick Holders –  I’ll put it out there. I’m a lipstick hoarder and because of that I’m always looking for new storage options. I came across these lipstick holders from the brand byAlegory and I am so impressed! Not only are they fantastic quality but they are extremely affordable! They come in a ton of different color options as well! I have a pink, purple & clear one! They each hold 24 lipsticks and can easily fit MAC, Urban Decay, YSL, bareMinerals & tons more! If you are looking for some new storage options, I highly recommend checking out byalegory.com! Buy Here – $12.99

Human Favorites

Jaclyn Hill -Ugh could she BE more gorgeous!?

Food & Drink

Big Ang Wine – Chardonnay* – Yes. Big Ang has her very own wine line! I had the opportunity to test out her Chardonnay and I am beyond impressed! Not only does it taste great, but the price point is fantastic! They are rolling out slowly in stores, but you can order this & 2 others on her site HERE
And speaking of Big Ang, I can’t forget to mention her newest show ‘Miami Monkey’ – I have been obsessed and I am so sad it ended! Crossing my fingers for a season two! (And did I mention my mom & aunt were on the show?)
That about wraps it up for my November Favorites! I’m SO sorry these were so incredibly late, but at least I got them up! What were some of your favorites last month? Tell me!

    Great post Jess! I’ve been curious about Nail Butter, but since it has lanolin in it, I haven’t tried it out. But I believe it works after seeing your nails lately!!

    Great picks! I love Jouer Matte Moisture Tint…such a great product. I also have the BECCA highlighter, just in the shade moonstone instead. Love it. If you have oily skin you NEED their matte primer- it’s the best thing ever.
