Hello, it's me, blog. Do you remember me, your creator? Probably not. But I'm going to try to be better. In leu of election eve, all of our timelines could use a little bit of a break. This is my round up of favorite products from October (and the last 6 months, really) from hair, makeup, beauty, etc.
Makeup
1. Huda Beauty Liquid Matte Lipstick
While everyone is obsessed with Kat Von D at the moment, these liquid lipsticks are my absolute favorite. The colors are on trend, and the formula is amazing. Liquid lipsticks can feel so heavy on your lips; Colourpop is a good example, they are an awesome price point ($6!), but it definitely feels like you've got a coat of goop on your lips. Huda's are thin and smooth and don't dry out your lips! I have literally the world's driest lips, and these don't bother me. Some of the reviews online complain they don't last long enough, but because it isn't thick, it won't cake up if you need to reapply! You can buy a full size for $20 at Sephora, or there's these neat kits that you can try two lipsticks and a lipliner (I might pick them all up!)

Hair
1. Sachajuan Silver Shampoo
Blondes: if there is one star of my life right now, it is this shampoo. This shampoo was sent from heaven itself on a cloud of pixie dust. I used to use Clairol Shimmer Lights...that doesn't hold a candle, not even a match, to this shampoo. It is pretty pricey ($31), but you get what you pay for. The packaging is sleek and modern, but the product inside is amazing. It puts incredible shine and luster back into my highlights (and it's been a hot minute since I've gotten them done). Go get it, now!

Skin
1. Murad Oil-Control Mattifier SPF 15 PA++
If you are an oily skinned girl like me, you need this. I have tried a lot of things that claim to mattify your face, but this one is the only one that has truly worked. It is a moisturizer, so I apply it under my makeup. It's pretty thick, but a little goes a long ways. The fact that it has SPF is great too! It is also formulated without parabens, sulfates, and phthalates. After watching the documentary "The Human Experiment" on Netflix, I definitely want to be better about what chemicals I am putting in and on my body!

Fragrance
1. CK2
This smell is amazing; I generally prefer clean scents. I'm allergic to plants, so floral scents are typically not my jam. Online it says its notes are "fresh notes and warm woods." Perfect for me. It's a good price as well! $55 for 1.7 oz. Another unique thing about this fragrance is its "gender free." So you and your boo can share it (not that I would know.)

2. Moschino Fresh Couture
Another fresh fragrance of course. Its notes are "Bergamot, Mandarin, Ylang Ylang, Raspberry, White Peony, Osmanthus, Cedarwood, White Patchouli, Ambrox." I don't know what basically any of that means, but I know it smells good. And the packaging is so freaking cute, how can you go wrong?
