I ♥ Sephora

As a cosmetics and beauty lover, Sephora is obvs my go-to spot. I can spend hours there, looking at all the glittering glosses, pigmented shadows, and oh so much more. (I can also spend lots of money there, and do, as I'm really close to becoming a VIB Rouge, which I'm not super proud to admit. SA (Sephora Anonymous) anyone?) Anyways, since I do most of my shopping there for my cosmetics, I'm going to start showing my beauty hauls from there (and probs other places too). On my last visit there this past week I got:

Bare Minerals' Marvelous Moxie Lipgloss in Hypnotist
$18

It's kind of an odd gloss, as it's holographic, and it reminded me of fish scales at first, but it was just too cool to pass up, so I got over it. It feels really smooth and moisturizing and isn't sticky at all, which is a huge plus. I've worn it just plain by itself, which produces a nudeish creme shimmer, and also over colors, which gives the color an extra boost and shimmer. The holo effect is beyond amazing and suuuuuper duper cool and I'm kinda obsessed with it, as I'm a sucker for holo anything.

Sephora Collection Colorful 5 Eyeshadow Palette in No 7 Mild to Wild Khaki
$25

I absolutely love this palette for fall! It offers a nice variety of greens and can give you an everyday look to a smokey eye. It also gives you a nice little guide on the back of what colors to use and where to place them on your eye based on the look you want to achieve.

Benefit Porefessional Pore Minimzer
$31

I like to think this helps my Grand Canyon pores and I suppose it does a bit. I tend to go between this and Dr. Brandt's Pores No More.

Manicure Monday: On Nightwatch

As I said in my last post, I'm all about the Halloween nails for all of October, so obvs I have some on today! For this mani, I used Sally Hansen's Complete Salon Manicure in Nightwatch, an almost-black navy. I then used my dotting tool to create the white dots with Sally Hansen's Xtreme Wear in White Out and then was too lazy to go find my black polish, so I just used the navy again for the other dots. Originally, I was going to use actual googly eyes, but I knew I'd be too fidgety with them and they'd pop off within minutes, so simple eyes they are. I'm planning on doing some glow-in-the-dark polish over the eyes too to give it a fun effect!

Halloween Mani Inspos

Though Halloween is weeks away, I celebrate it the entire month, mainly on my nails and with pens (I got awesome needle ones from Target!). Below are some Halloween nail art inspirations! Def going to try some of them out!

Obsessed with these Day of the Dead skulls from
Drop Dead Gorgeous Daily! Probs would do one as an accent!

Love this chic take on spiderwebs from Refinery 29!

A classic Halloween mani for me & the one I
always seem to get the most compliments on!

October Preview

Trying to get back into this, especially now that it's part of my social media class! I'll be incorporating things for the class throughout the rest of the semester, so bear with me a bit, but I will be posting my usual things! So, my "editorial calendar" for the next couple of weeks: every Monday I will share some fab Halloween manis for #ManicureMonday because it's finally October (!!!!!!) and October means Halloween everything! Duh. Every Wednesday, I will be continuing "Wishlist Wednesday" with my wants for the week! Enjoy and Happy October!!!!!!!!
