September Favorites

September 28, 2016

cover September absolutely flew by this year, it's so crazy you guys!! But as they say "time flies when you're having fun" and this month sure was fun. I feel like I'm finally starting to get comfortable in my new life attending college classes, visiting Mark in the city and awkwardly being home during the day! As hard as it sometimes feels, honestly life is great. I have been working so hard on some new blog stuff over the last week, today I started my capsule wardrobe (I will be posting about that soon!!) and tomorrow I'm headed to the city! I hope all is well for you! Here are some of my favorites products from the lovely month of September! lumicoushion

Loreal Lumi Cushion

Guyssss!! This stuff is so so so good. I know I just talked about this not to long ago in my drug store haul but it is really becoming one of my favorite foundations! It has such a beautiful, natural, dewy finish and this color (W2 Light Ivory) is perfect for my skin. I have been loving applying this with my new It Cosmetics Blurring Foundation Brush or a damp beauty sponge! Even though it's on the pricier side for drug store foundation I highly recommend checking it out! concealer

Maybelline Master Conceal Concealer

Again, another favorite from my recent drug store haul! I won't go into too much detail since I have already discussed it pretty in depth in that post (be sure to check it out here). But I have been adoring this product, if you are looking for a budget friendly, high covering under eye concealer without creasing check this one out!

betterthansexmascara

Too Faced Better than Sex Mascara

Ugh, why did no one tell me what I was missing out on with this one!!? I used my 100 point perk at Sephora to pick this little guy up and I am so OBSESSED. My lashes achieve so much volume when I apply even just one layer of this mascara. Plus it hardly ever clumps!  I can't wait to purchase the full size when I run out!

stives

St. Ives Oatmeal Scrub and Mask

As the chiller months are upon us (YAY FOR FALL FASHION) so is dry skin. I'm currently fighting the most annoying dryness all over my cheeks, but luckily this 2 in 1 mask and exfoliant has been saving me! Unlike many exfoliators I feel like this one is very gentle on the skin plus it smells like honey!

lumiere

Colourpop X Kathleen Lights Lumiere Lippie Stick

I did a little Colourpop haul earlier this month and finally got my hands on this gorgeous lippie by my all time favorite Youtuber Kathleen Lights! The shade is the perfect mauvey nude (and get this, it's a total dupe for Urban Decay's Back talk!!!! More on that will come soon!) and so perfect for fall. Plus the Colourpop formula is super creamy and long wearing.

To wrap this post up I just want to share a few more things about how my month has gone! In my Happy Planner it has a monthly list to write down your favorite things you have been doing for the month so I want to start sharing what I have been eating, drinking, watching, etc! So here's what I've been up to...

Watching: Parks and Rec,  that's about it! And Youtube as always.

Eating: Chips and homemade salsa every day

Drinking: Kiddie Cocktails! Every time I go to work I grab a little cup of sprite and cherry juice, I can't help myself!

Loving: Mauve lips

Wearing: Sweaters on sweaters on sweaters. I'm always cold.

Hope you had a wonderful September! I'd love to hear your favorites of the month!

XX,

Shannon

Made it to Florida!! 🌴 Spring Break 2018 has been great so far. Here's a look at my travel day outfit, my fav thermals 🙌🏻, Payless duped sneakers, and my $3 Target hat 😜A new post will be up on the blog tomorrow talking all about my travel essentials (including the deats on my luggage!) 💖
If I keep buying cute work out wear I'll eventually become motivated to work out...right? 🤷🏼‍♀️ I've been trying REALLY hard to exercise on a regular basis. Do you guys have any tips for fitting in quick, effective workouts!? Anyway, until then I'll keep hoping my shopping theory works. 😅I love a good pair of leggings, especially at a good price! @forever21 is one of my fav places to snag adorable and affordable athleisure wear like these blush leggings. 😍This specific pair is sold out 😭 but there's tons of other cute options in stock! Order tonight and get FREE shipping on any purchase!!! .

Here's a post, not about fashion, not about my latest sale find, or the newest trend I'm loving. Here's a post just because a I love this guy and it's always a good time to show those you love a little appreciation. "Above all, love each other deeply because love covers over a multitude of sins." 1 Peter 4:8 Happy Sunday loves! ❤️

Hey guys I'm backkk! 👋🏻 The last couple weeks have been so busy, filled with big decisions, tests, essays and work work work. But I finally got a post up on the blog this morning! 🎉 I'm talking all about taking more chances with style, being creative, bold and revealing parts of who I am through my every day outfits,  instead of just blending into the crowd. 💖+ my weekend sale picks! Two of my fav places to buy jeans are having big sales, @oldnavy & @abercrombie 🙌🏻 Check it out with the link in my bio, I hope you love it! 🔗

Do these jeans scream SPRING or what!? 🌸 I took a little break to spend some much needed time with family over the last few days, my heart is full. 💖 Of course, grandma and I did a little (or a lot...) shopping! I snagged these beautiful jeans from @oldnavy on saleeee 👖I can't wait to pair them with these wedges & this (old) eyelet tank when the weather gets a little warmer! ON seems to always be having a sale and they are currently only $35 + another 30% off with the code GOFORIT 🙌🏻 Spring,  HURRY HURRY HURRY!! My wardrobe is ready to be something other than leggings and oversized sweats!!! 😂 What do you guys think of embroidered jeans like these!?

Real talk: In blogger terms, I've failed already this week. I haven't posted on the blog yet. I didn't even post on Instagram yesterday. I haven't taken any cute ootd pics, because frankly, I'm not lookin' cute. Some days I wonder if I should quit when I see the follower count fall on my "failing" days. But then I remember that on the days I fail I'm really succeeding. I'm working multiple jobs and taking classes full time. Im working towards my future, working to hopefully, one day get to a place where I can put my passion first. But until then some days I have to fail, some days I have to take a break to keep my sanity. Every failure is another step towards success. ❤️
Today's #OOTD because it hit 50 degrees!! ☀️👙🎉 Just kidding, I'm in leggings & a long sleeve. But I did leave the house without a winter coat, I'll take that as a win 🙌🏻 @aerie has the BEST deal going on for when spring break finally gets here! Two piece swim suits are BOGO FREE!!! 😱 I've linked this adorable top on the blog! Hurry!! Snag the matching bottoms FOR FREEEE! Sale ends today!
Treated myself to this @urbanoutfitters henley this week because this color is 😍 (it's a little see-through, but super cute with a bralette for spring!) On another note, my  weekend sale picks are up on the blog + four pairs of the cutest designer duped shoes 👟 The President's day weekend Sales are GOOD! Check it out with the link in my bio 🔗💖
