Bare Minerals Lip GLoss :Raspberry Tea (The formula is tacky not soft and sticky plus it costs to much)
Elf Cream Eyeliner: BLack (Drys out to quickly and it cracks its not worth it if it drys out so fast )
L’Oreal Voluminous Mascara Waterproof (Smudged everywhere, by the next hour after applying it smudged all under my eyes i looked like I had raccoon Eyes!, It was not waterproof at all! and It Clumped my lashes together )

September favorites

10 / 2 / 1310 / 2 / 13

Hey Beautys!!

Its October!

I love Halloween and the crazy makeup looks that come along with it , but before we dive head first into october lets look at my makeup favorites for the Month of September!

NailPolish:

Nyc In a NewYork Min Nailpolish- Sidewalkers This color is such a beautiful side walk light grey
Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear Nailpolish- Grey Area This deep grey paired up with sidewalkers looks great together, I have been wearing both of these paired up together ever chance I got !

from Left To Right :Cranberry Crush,Honey Love,Candid Coral SideWalkers, Grey Area

Lips:

Jordana Twist Shine Balm Stains-Honey Love , I have three of these balm stains But I have mostly been wearing Honey Love which is a gorgeous Nude Purple toned Lip balm stain, I did a whole review on these already on my blog check it out! http://bondbeautyful.com/twist/

Eyes:

Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencil- PureGold Nyx Jumbo Pencils are the best bases to go under any eyeshadow this pure gold one is so pretty under bronzes, etc Have you tried any nyx jumbo pencils yet?
Pixi Lash Booster Mascara I got this mascara in an ipsy bag the skinny brush makes it super easy to use on the lower lashes
Smashbox Audition Taupe Palette This palette is great it has a eyebrow gel, and eyebrow powder,a cream highlighter, a cream eyeshadow and three neutral eyeshadows

Cheeks:

Elf Warm Bronzer I have been loving this as a bronzer but also a BLUSH! I swirl all the colors together to make a beautiful bronzy blush then I add just the blush color onto the apples of my cheeks , its truely BONDBEAUTYFUL
Nyx Cream Blush -HotPink This is another product I got in an Ipsy bag, This is such a pigmented blush in a cream form.. You have to be super careful because you only need the slightest amount on your brush , or fingers , a little goes a long way… If I find I applied to much blush then I dip my brush in my Rimmel Stay matte powder and I apply it over top to sheer out the hot pink craze and give me a beautiful flush on my cheeks

So these are my September Favorites , What are yours? Are there any new products you have just been loving?

So Lets start with some tips for all you beginners…

Tip:

1. Apply (carmex) Lips balm on before starting your makeup to prevent dry & cracky lips

2. Use a base or eye primer to help with lasting power and to help the eyeshadows appear brighter

3. Be gentle around your eyes, dont tug ( Thats how you get wrinkles)
