October brought some goodies into my life. (and not just yummy candy) Let's see what made the favorites:

First things first: 

I found this lovely little Mossimo crossbody and I've become obsessed. I love my Kate but I wanted something a little more autumnal/ wintery. So this bag it was. The deep burgundy and the details on the front.... it's so pretty. And it doesn't look that big, but you can fit quite a bit in there.

This Olay cleanser feels so so good and hydrating.

Pretty sure I bring out a new candle in like every month's favorites, but I absolutely this Sandalwood & Spiced Honey scent from Target. (Where else?) It basically smells like the inside of a Bath & Body Works in autumn, and who can resist the gold? That's what pulled me in in the first place....

Essie is also a frequent winner, and for good reason. This month's pick, Leggy Legend, is an October-January essential. The perfect golden hue with a fun touch of glitter screams holiday party season.

Thanks to Zoella, Rimmel Kate 107 lipstick is my #1, "ride or die" if you will. This month, I discovered that 030 is another color that everyone needs in their life. A lovely autumnal plum, it's semi-matte and lasting finish and I'm actually obsessed.

Recently there's been quite a few good albums out, and Selena Gomez is a top pick. Y'all. That album is gooood.

Also: My girl is always on the list.

Four Steps to the Perfect Red Lip

Today I'm filling you in on my "perfect red lip" routine. 

It's simple, easy, and only four steps! 

1// Moisturize

Adding some balm first keeps the lips from getting dry or cracked.

2// Line 

I'm not a lip liner person, but I love transparent liner that helps keep color stay put. I just line like you would normally and bam, time for the next step.

3// Add color

This is the fun part. Go in with the red of your choice (today mine is Rimmel Moisture Renew As You Want Victoria)

4// Blot

Don't forget this step! It ensures excess color is removed and gives things a bit of a matte look.

And you're good to go!

My holy grail of lipsticks

I'm always on the hunt for good lipsticks. Rimmel is one of my favorite brands and Zoella has talked about Kate Moss 107 a lot. It's a darker berry color that's perfect for this time of year, so obviously I needed it.

I had been looking for it for awhile, but they always seemed to be out of it until I went to Target and there it was, staring me in the face. I'm pretty sure the Hallelujah chorus could've been playing because that's what it feels like everytime I put this lipstick on. Seriously.  

I don't know if I'll even need another lipstick for a really long time. I never thought I'd say that.
