Monthly Favorites for September

Adding a new segment to my blog this month called Monthly favorites. If your a YouTube junkie like me you may already know about this.  It may include special products, favorite cosmetic items or hair products. Let's just say it will be a hodge podge of stuff! LOL

My first favorite from September has to be my neutral eye pallet from BHCosmetics. I heard about the pallets from BHCosmetics from Nitraab on YouTube (she is one of my favorites). And since I was looking for a way to get a bunch of quality eye shadows at a great price I thought I would try these out (getting the entire pallet on sale for $14.00 helped. I love, love love the colors in this pallet. And the pigmentation is awesome. I now have my eye on the smokey eye pallet (that's how impressed I was).

While on vacation I picked up the L'OREAL Paris Colour Riche Lip Balm with SPF15 (#819) in Caramel Comfort. OMG, this lip balm feels like butter when you put it on and the color is just enough to stand out without slapping you in the face. LOL

I have been looking for a new mascara for a while. I am blessed to have really long eye lashes but I've never been able to find one that doesn't cake up or make me lashes look like spikes. That is until I tried the Maybeline line. Specifically the Volume Express One by One (waterproof). I'm debating trying the Falsies because I have heard some great reviews on them. Will keep you posted.

Throughout the summer I purchased quite a few products from Elf. I figured for a couple of dollars it was at least worth a shot! Some of have been hits and misses (a blog post on that to come in the near future) but two of my surprise favorites has been the Elf Mineral Eye Shadow primer and the Elf Studio brushes. Specifically the Elf Powder Brush which has become a favorite. These are two products I would definitely purchase again. I like the Elf primer almost (if not as much) as my primer from Urban Decay! And the Elf one is only $3.00!

My final favorites of the month is for my African American "sista's". I don't know of a sista who hasn't stepped foot in Sally's or one who hasn't heard of the Organic Root Stimulator products. I have three favorites from this line but the two I choose to highlight today were The Olive Oil Edge Control and the Olive Oil Moisturizing Hair Lotion. Since the start of the year I have been trying to grow my hair out which has also caused me to start what is called my "hair journey". Not sure I have figured that out yet, but I am learning what seems to work and what doesn't. And for some reason my hair just takes better to the ORF products. When I use them I have less shedding, which we all know is always a good thing! Nothing worse then a sista trying to grow her hair out and having half of it laying in her hand after she has applied product. I'm sure you will here more about this "journey: in upcoming post.

Well there you have it...my Monthly favorites for the month of September. Let me know if you like this little addition to my blog. Have a blessed day y'all!
