September Favorites | Mixed Bag


Ah, how did we find ourselves on the last day of the month already? September seriously flew by, between two weddings and a weekend away – I’m 100% ready for a relaxing weekend coming up! Even with a hectic month and starting a new job, I tested out a few new things this month and I’m excited to share these favorites with you!

September Favorites





YSL Rouge Pur Coture Lipstick




Who doesn’t love a silky smooth lipstick? Getting chosen for the YSL Influentster box is like hitting the lottery! I was sent two colors to test out – Fuscia & Rose Stiletto. The one I will be getting the most use out of is definitely Rose Stiletto since it’s more of an every day shade and a shade that looks really gorgeous on different skin tones, my sister tried it this past weekend and has a much fairer complexion than I do. You don’t need to over apply the lipstick either – the color is extremely pigmented and very hydrating. So if you’re feeling like your lips are a little dry it wont show with this lipstick! 


There are 42 different shades in the collection and with a price point of $36 for this high end lipstick you’re sure to find a color that you like! 


 





Smashbox Photo Finish Primer


True story I bought a Maybelline primer at CVS at the start of the month and somehow in that same weekend managed to lose it -in my own house? I had used up my ELF primer, so I quickly stopped by Sephora to pick up a travel size of thesmashbox photo finisher and absolutely loved it! The green color aides in color correcting and smoothing away the appearance of redness, completely fades to a smooth finish and it felt very similar to the blur primer from YSL I raved about it my empties video



St. Tropez One Night Only Wash Off Body Lotion





I’m a self tanning novice and hate when I find myself applying a self tanner that leaves streaks. Even worse when the tan fades at different times. Enter in this one night only wash off body lotion! It’s an instant bronzing lotion that provides you with just enough glow to fake a tan! I bought the only size they offer which also happens to be easy to travel with! I’ve used it about a dozen times and cant rave enough about how easy it is to apply and in case you make a mistake it completely washes off without any problems!


 







Paper Source Gold Agenda




So – I may or may not have picked up another planner…I have a problem and I admit it! But I was having a hard time carrying my bigger Bando planner to and from work and basically in every bag I own so I scooped up this perfectly sized gold agenda and I’m so happy I did! It has the perfect amount of space for me to write in any plans I have for the day or appointments and still see the full week view. I don’t use this as my to-do list or anything just more so a quick glance to see my week and coming weeks on the go!







Pilot FriXion Erasable Pen




I think its been stated that I like pens and paper products…so it should come as no surprise that I found my new favorite pens!! I love writing in ink but also like the ability to erase instead of having to scratch out what I wrote (especially in my planner) so these pens have been a life saver! My friend Jackie convinced me to try them and now I have them in the colorful pack 🙂








Have you tried any of these before? What was our favorite product of the month?

    Oh girl, you and me both are ready for some chill time. Both of our Septembers were crazy, it's time to relax a bit. I've heard great things about the YSL lipstick, I might join Influencster JUST to try and get some, not a fan of the price tag!

    Yes, girl! I'm so into pens its kind of ridiculous. And I've heard so many great things about the Smashbox primer – I totally need to try it!

    Erasable pens? I haven't seen those in SOOO long–just what my organization-loving self needs in my life 🙂
    The YSL colors are super pretty–nice to know the rose color looks good on different complexions. Win! 🙂
    You should link up your post with Jessi and I today!

    Erasable pens are my favorite! I'm still on the hunt for a perfect primer. I've seen a few around the blogsphere that I've added to my list and so I'll add this one too!

  15. Ashley Lillis
    September 30, 2015 / 12:59 pm

    One of my biggest problems with lost lipsticks is that my lips get too dry. I might have to hive that lipstick a try though, especially since the rose stilleto is gorgeous! And I definitely picked up another planner too! I don't think my husband realizes how big of an issue it is…

  16. Pamela {Sequins and Sea Breezes}
    September 30, 2015 / 12:59 pm

    Yup, running out to buy those pens immediately! I love writing in pen but like you, I hate scratching things out! And those YSL lipsticks are gorgeous! Love both colors but you're right, the Rose Stiletto is so perfect for every day!

    I feel like a good hydrating lipstick with a lot of color is harder to come by than it should be. Both of those shades look lovely but I'd probably be more of a "rose stiletto" girl too. And I 100% need to get my hands on those erasable pens, would make life so much easier!

    The Smashbox primer is the best!! Although I got a sample of the Hourglass primer with my Sephora points and I really like that one too.

    Loving that YSL Rose Stiletto shade, not a bad price point for a higher end brand. That correcting primer is something I've wanted to try, but after hearing how well it worked, I may just be picking it up. OMG girl I feel ya on the billion planners thing, everytime I see a new one, somehow I just neeeed it. My coworker thinks I'm nuts for having so many and thinks I should just use my phone…but I need.to.write.it.all.down!!!

    The YSL lipsticks are so pretty! I can't decide which one I like more – I need to see it with your hair because I think that will change everything. You're totally right, scoring the high-end VoxBoxes is totally like winning the lottery! I just scored the Keratease hair products and I was like YESSSSSS!
