oct - dec favorites

sorry guys for the delay on my favorites. the winter break was a bit too crazy-hectic for me. school's now started and there's been a lot going on that i haven't been able to keep up. ~.~ anyway, since the fall semester was super hectic--with 12hr days on campus, i don't really have that many favorites. but here's what i've got for ya! ~Lin-chan ^.~

naked3 palette, swatched over ud original primer potion

rosy lips, pepper, smog, underground, chapped hands remedy

• cnd (creative nail design) solar oil (purchased at ulta) -- this feels great! it's a little oily feeling until it's absorbed, which is maybe 5 minutes.. and it smells amazing because of the sweet almond oil. mmmmm.. >w<
• co bigelow chapped hands remedy (purchased at bath & body works) -- i first picked up this hand cream about 5 years ago when i was in art school. one of my classes (intaglio), involved putting printing plates into acid and washing it off, blah blah blah. and it was a fall semester class, with the cold and blehhhh. needless to say, my hands were chapped to the point that they were cracked, sore, red, and almost bled. this was the only hand lotion that didn't burn like hell and it healed my skin in the process. and i still love it to this day! (has a medicinal scent that might be a turnoff for some people, if you can use a tester before buying.)
• vaseline rosy lips -- since i bought this, i've used this nearly every single day. i just love the slight tint it gives, and the scent's not super strong but it's pleasant (and i'm anti-rose or floral scents).
• bite beauty creme lipstick in pepper -- i bought this lipstick because i've been wanting to try one of these forever. and after seeing a blog post by emilynoel83, who has basically the same natural lip color as myself, i was confident in ordering this shade. i was hooked after the first try. it's so comfortable and natural looking on my lips.
• urban decay
• naked3 palette -- this is such a pretty palette for my brown eyes. i think, of the three, this one has been given the most love..and that's pretty crazy considering i've had the other two for a couple years now.. favorites: burnout, buzz, trick, liar, factory, mugshot. i can't wait for these to be released as singles!
• smog liquid liner -- this is such a pretty brownish/greenish-golden shade and i love wearing this over the naked3 palette shadows as my upper liner.
• underground pencil liner -- this is an awesome metallic taupey/rose golden shade, i've been using this as my lower liner with naked3 looks
