Another Friday.. another favorites post! I hope everyone had a great week! This week I rediscovered some products and tried new ones! Let’s get started!
NYX Angel Veil Skin Perfecting Primer – This was a new product for me this month! I received this wayyy back in April when I went to the NYX party after IMATS. This primer is so silky smooth and feels incredible on the face.  I definitely can tell a difference in the lasting power of my makeup when I wear this. This does have a white tint to it, but it blends in perfectly clear. It is a bit on the pricey side for a drugstore primer, so I would recommend picking it up when Ulta has their 40% off NYX sale.  Buy Here – $13
Sonia Kashuk Liquid Light Concealer in Aura – This was a recommendation from Ingrid or MissGlamorazzi on Youtube. I am OBSESSED with this! So obsessed that I ended up buying the shade lighter than this as well for highlighting. The formula is so hydrating and does not crease at all under my eyes. It definitely has buildable coverage which is always a plus for me as well. Buy Here – $8.99
ELF Daily Brush Cleaner – There is no job I hate more than washing brushes. I know I’m not alone in this. I picked this up at Target and it has been working out perfect for spot cleaning my eye brushes every day without having to do a huge deep clean. I highly recommend this – Especially for the $3 price tag! Buy Here – $3
Sonia Kashuk No 29 Brush – I recently heard Nicole of Young Wild & Polished talk about this brush and even though I knew I didn’t need another brush.. I didn’t care. I had to have this. The bristles are incredibly soft and this is THE perfect brush for applying blush to the apples of your cheeks. It has definitely replaced my MAC 129! Buy Here – $17
NARS Unlawful Blush – I love a good NARS blush and this shade from the Fall collection blows my mind.  Described as a amber pink with silver pearl, I have been wearing this non stop this week. The formula is wonderful and the color pay off is superb! I would definitely recommend grabbing this during the Sephora VIB Sale! Buy Here – $30
Too Faced Shadow Insurance in Champagne – Another Ingrid recommendation! I love throwing this on my lid and then topping it off with a shimmery champagne shadow. It’s easy, simple and looks great paired with a dark lip! Buy Here – $20
Elizabeth Mott Shadow in Champagne – This is the shadow I have been using to top off the Too Faced. I believe I received this in my Ipsy bag, but it’s a shame they don’t get more hype. The shadow is so buttery and has great pigmentation! Buy Here – $13
L’OREALVoluminous Original Mascara – Can you believe I have NEVER tried this mascara before? I decided to pick it up on a whim one day and I am so glad I did! The volume this gives my lashes is absolutely insane. I can see why this is so hyped up in the beauty community! Buy Here – $5.99
MAC Lipstick in Mystical – I hate that I am throwing in a limited edition item in here.. I’m sorry! It’s just the perfect my lips but better Fall color. If you can still find it on eBay or in a makeup sales group, GET IT! It’s a cremesheen, which is my absolute favorite MAC lipstick finish and just packs so much color and pigmentation.
I also want to mention my new Keurig 2.0! I LOVE coffee so when I had the opportunity to try out the new brewing machine, I was so thrilled!  It’s so versatile & I absolutely love the touch screen.  Plus the carafe feature is going to be PERFECT for Thanksgiving! #HelloKeurig

    I definitely will pick up the $3 elf brush cleaner next time I’m at Target. That’s a super bargain. I loved that entire MAC LE line but everything that I wanted was sold out by the time I got there. I got that Eliz Mott shadow in my ipsy bag too. I’ve gotta find it for the holidays. I love the cheek/lip tint from Eliz Mott from a more recent ipsy, and use it all the time.

    These all sound like great products! ELF is my favorite brand. I have never gotten anything that I didn’t like from them.

    What awesome beauty haul you got. I too love that Mystical Lipstick color. I need me a new lipstick. Heck! I need an entire make-up haul. 🙂 Thanks for sharing!

    I have 3 go to’s for makeup. My lipstick eyeliner and blush. I try to keep it simple as to not over do it. I really do love that blush color.
