November Beauty Favorites

My monthly roundup of beauty favorites is now live on the blog! We have an assortment of skincare and makeup products, old and new, that I’m so excited to share with you guys! I love each and every one of these items as if they were my firstborn child (okay… pushing it there a bit LOL) but really, they’re just that good. I’ve discovered a K-beauty brand that has my all-time favorite cleansing balm that smells out of this world and is affordable; a super luxe creme that will probably have your eyes rolling (and not in a good way) but is sooooo completely worth its price; multi-faceted palette that makes for a blush, lip/eye tint; a men’s soap that I’ve been obsessed with its scent since I was a little girl, and the only perfume I’ve been wearing these days is done by the Italians… it’s all going down here on M +S!

LANCÔME ABSOLUE WHITE AURA

Looking for that extra luxurious skincare item for this time of the year? The Absolue Luminous Rejuvenation: an ideal look of rejuvenated skin, incredibly luminous. Lancôme has created Absolue White Aura Cream, specifically developed to reveal skin's brightness. White rose extract for the first time is paired with Pro-Xylane™ in a subtle, pearly texture, elegantly rich, yet fresh. Exceptional results; skin seems hydrated, rejuvenated as though illuminated. Skin seems to glow with an aura of light. 

BVLGARI LE GEMME REALI VERIDIA EAU DE PARFUM

I literally can’t get enough of this fragrance. Essence of galbanum, incense tears, bourbon vanilla, Veridia is a mysterious elixir, a concentrate of opulence with a deeply contrasting and charismatic Oriental woody green silage. There are other scents from the collection, but this one, by far, is my favorite. Everything about this bottle screams decadence, and Bvlgari is just that. If you’re looking to get something extra special for your day but not going too far over your budget, this perfume will make her VERY VERY happy. And you too, I know for sure! :)

Sulwhasoo

SULWHASOO PERFECTING CUSHION INTENSE SPF 50 NO. 13

What it is: A moisturizing and nourishing anti-aging cushion foundation that spreads seamlessly onto the skin, creating a smooth finish that delicately reflects light for remarkable, youthful luminosity.

Who it's for: Anyone with any skin type who wants buildable coverage and a luminous finish.

The result is a silky, seamless yet perfected complexion with a healthy, natural-looking glow.

This is the only mask that helps calm it down fast!

Redken

For Men Soap

REDKEN MEN’S CLEANSE BALANCED BAR SOAP

Now I know this bar is supposedly for men. But this soap bar is just magic and the smell is super intoxicating. I’ve loved it since I was a little girl and have been using it ever since. I have the hardest time finding them as they only exist in a certain amount of stores. But I love it especially in the winter. With Vitamin E and peppermint, the smell is my favorite part of this bar, even though it does a body good. Cleanliness-wise!

Recently I received a wonderful makeup organizer case from Dollup Beauty. The Dollup Case by makeup artist Nikki Hynek is the perfect way to store your entire beauty look in one place while keeping you and your makeup stylishly organized at home or on-the-road. The hard case design protects and secures your daily essentials – and also comes in several colors other than white. The portable makeup case has a convenient hinge feature allowing the case to open flat for easy access to all your makeup. A customizable naked magnetic palette, elastic holding bands and an interior drop-down vanity mirror completes this amazing case fit for any woman. Dollup Beauty was also generous to gift several of their beauty products along with their makeup case.

1. LUMIE HIGHLIGHTER SHIMMER

The Lumie Highlighter Powder Shimmer is the best way to achieve that perfect 'glow from within' makeup look that will have everyone asking why your skin looks so amazing! They've crafted their Lumie Highlighter Powder Shimmer out of all natural premium pressed mica minerals, that are so finely milled, they blur out flaws and refract light away from imperfections.  What you're left with, after dusting your skin, is a totally brightened & beaming complexion wherever you apply. There are two colors, one more gold based and another rose, but I received the gold one called Lavish: It's a buttery colored luminous shimmer powder with pearled finish. And my new favorite strobing highlighter! TOTALLY obsessed. :)

2. DOLLIPS™ LIQUID MATTE LIP SPREADS

I received 'Peace' and 'Laughter'. 'Peace' has a more nude tone where 'Laughter' is a full vibrant red. I've tried both and am so in love with them! Aside from its buttery, smooth spread across your lips, the liquid spreads dry to a matte finish for a smudge-proof ten hour wear! Score! And what's even better is these lipsticks are enriched with antioxidants, Vitamin E & Avocado oil; all to keep your lips hydrated!  

3. DOLL-EYES ON YOU LIQUID EYELINER 

You can achieve the perfect 'Doll Eye' look with this line-perfecting brush tip. It offers effortless precision with every winged line, thin or thick. The perfectly tapered brush tip delivers an ultra deep black or deep brown pigment in one seamless swipe. The quick drying formula offers a smudge free application that lasts all day long – even on the oiliest of eye lids! This is something I've been wanting to find for a while and am so happy to have discovered Dollup Beauty and their crazy good products like this fabulous liner!

4. LANCÔME BI-FACIL EYE MAKEUP REMOVER

I received several Lancôme products from Influenster, a great platform where bloggers can test and review products of all kinds, especially beauty products. This travel sized eye makeup remover is an award-winning phenomenon that magically whisks away the most stubborn eye makeup, even waterproof. Simply shake this bad boy to activate the bi-phase formula that leaves the eye area sparkly clean. The lipid phase lifts off eye makeup, while the water phase contains special emollients to refresh and condition skin without a greasy residue.

5. LANCÔME NEW VISIONNAIRE EYE CREAM

Whether you had no sleep or stayed out late (yes, I sometimes still do!), erase the night away with an instant fix for under eye puffiness, crow's feet, and the look of fatigue. This Visionnaire Eye Cream has the power to change the way your eyes look with instant photo-ready correction. I use it as a primer before applying concealer, thanks to its blurring properties your skin will look fresh and rested. And I love the very light but rich cream, it even smells amazing. As does all Lancôme products! :)

6. LANCÔME DRAMA LIQUID PENCILS

Create a sensual, intense eye look with ease. This smudgy, creamy-smooth eye pencil delivers a dose of decadent color that glides on effortlessly and blends beautifully. In an instant, eyes are perfectly lined, defined and contoured for a smoldering effect that's absolutely irresistible. I received two pencils, one in black and the other in purple, and have been applying the black eyeliner on the top lids and the purple for the bottom. It brings a pop to the eye, and any cooler color, such as purple, blue, even a dark green helps brighten brown eyes naturally. 

7. LANCÔME DEFINICILS MASCARA

This has been one of my most favorite mascara's of all time. Lancôme carries some of the best beauty products in the world – this mascara has been the number 1 mascara for over 16 years! For lavishly long, perfectly defined lashes, this iconic award-winning mascara provides the ultimate in separation. Carefully selected polymers coat each lash from root to tip, to help lengthen and outline each lash for unmatched definition. This best-selling mascara's unique brush applicator has specially grooved bristles that hold the perfect amount of product for gradual, even application every time. Simply the best!

8. LANCÔME 2 IN 1 SHARPENER

Straight to the point, this durable, quality-crafted design is the quickest and easiest way to sharpen Lancôme makeup pencils. I've been using it on my new pencils and not once have they been overly done or under done. Excellence at its finest.
