Happy Fall!! I personally love the colder weather and I get to do makeup for weddings so this is my favorite time of year. Here’s a couple things I’ve been loving lately.
Lip Liner / I can’t pick just one, but I prefer brown- nude ones over peach pink ones. If you’re not a liner person, give it a go. It makes my look so much more polished. Some I love are Nyx Nude Beige, Rimmel Epic, Makeup Forever 3C.
Kiss Acrylic nails / I tried out the Kiss Impress acrylic nails 3 weeks ago and they’re still going strong. When I pictured glue ons I cringed at the idea of nonstop lifting at the edges and my hair getting stuck in the edges. This hasn’t been the case at all. They feel sturdy and exactly like how getting gel nails used to feel. I had one pop off on my pinky, but I just buffed down my nail and re-glued it back on. I haven’t had trouble with it since. I haven’t noticed literally any lifting! When they grow out I have peeled them off and either replaced them with the same original kit I bought, or glued it back on. I even painted them. They’re so amazing and a lot stronger than my natural nails!
Wedding Glam / I did two bridal parties for my friends’ weddings. Spending the day with both of them are memories I’ll never forget! If you need a makeup artist in Oregon or Washington, email me: kimandmakeupmail@gmail.com
Vanille SoliNotes / This year I’ve become so into affordable fragrances, especially vanilla ones. This is another that I use pretty much everyday and keep the bottle in my purse.
Ardell 113 magnetics / I love the double wispy magnetics, but the ardell 113s are a more delicate look.
Tula Rose Glow / So I’m such a Tula hater- the way they market their products through Instagram bloggers that don’t seem to care much about active ingredients annoys me and gives me MLM vibes. I took a chance on the Rose Glow balm though, and WOW. It feels super cooling and gives me a little pick me up. I wear it on my bare face after doing skincare and keep it in my purse to apply at work. It would be beautiful under concealer as well though! When I was being a hater to myself I made this little collage of dupes. They’ll give you the same pink corrector pick me up, but not the cooling effect like this one.
Aquaphor / This little tube of heaven has been a lifesaver. I actually found it at my parents house one day and have been using it since. If you haven’t tried Aquaphor you need to! I’m about out of my tube now and I will 100% be repurchasing.
Cerave SA lotion & cleanser / If you’ve read any of my skincare blog posts, I’m a huge fan of salicylic acid. The Cerave SA lotion and cleanser are a good way to get it at an affordable and convenient way.
Low carb lasagna / Guilt free lasagna- I don’t need to say much else. I add spinach & mushrooms when I make it in a large Pyrex casserole dish.
Luxy Lemon phone case / I was influenced to buy this phone case from seeing it a couple times on people I follow on Instagram. Thankfully it lived up to my expectations. For $40 including shipping you get a case that charges your phone!! It comes in tons of cute colors and designs too. I used the code “SCORE30” to get it that price.
Veggie Straws / MY FAVORITE SEMI- GUILT FREE SNACK!
Comedy Show / Going to comedy shows are my favorite. I watch tons of stand up, am an avid subscriber of comedian podcasts, and live for a live show. The Girl With No Job show was amazing in September at the Aladdin Theater.
Seek Out seltzer / If you’ve tried White Claw, these are the same thing but taste 100000% better.
Thanks for reading!! I hope you have an amazing October. -Kim
