october favorites & mehs

hi guys! only a couple items last month too. enjoy. ~Lin-chan ^.~

favorites:

designer or die, silk sheets, style icon, star treatment, lingerie lover, wild nights

1. becca shimmering skin perfector poured in opal -- i took this on my orlando trip and i loved it. you guys know i'm not as huge into cream cheek products..but this was buttah. it blended out amazingly.
2. buxom custom palette (shadows listed above) -- i think i did a pretty good job at picking these 6 shades. the first four are great for more neutral looks, and sometimes i like changing it  up and using the first two and last three to semi-replicate what i've been doing with the maybelline blushed nudes palette.
1. i've got another one sitting on my sephora wishlist right now. some of them are out of stock and i haven't swatched them in the store yet. but we're going to wait until the vib sale and see what kind of discounts we can get.
3. jergens bb body cream -- i forgot how much i loved this lotion. omg. the scent is nice and the tint it gives is super nice too. just make sure it's dry before putting clothes on because the color will transfer.
4. luxie beauty tapered blending eye brush 205 -- i redeemed some ipsy points for this and got it with this month's bag. and it became an instant favorite. it's a great crease area brush, super soft and fluffy.

random favorites: 

1. stoli ginger beer -- not a recent favorite. actually my mom gave us some of these a while back when i decided i wanted to try moscow mules. turns out those are absolutely disgusting, but stoli ginger beer (compared to about 4 other brands we've tried) is really, really good. ginger beer is non-alcoholic, it's ginger soda. not ginger ale, but strong gingery soda.
2. not your father's rootbeer -- this is alcoholic. it's hard rootbeer. and it's really good. i hate anything that remotely tastes like alcohol, and this you almost can't tell. and it also has a higher abv than your average beer. so not only is it super drinkable, making you think nothing of it, if you stand up too fast you'll feel it. haha. 
1. note: this is better on ice than in the bottle.
2. in comparison, the coney island one is absolutely gross. again, it has alcohol taste.
3. disclaimer: drink responsibly and yadda yadda. don't drink if you're under age, etc.

meh/undecided: 

1. becca shimmering skin perfector [liquid] in opal -- i also took this with me on our orlando trip. and i did not like this quite as much. i felt that it blended away and didn't really show up as strongly as i would have liked. i guess you could consider it more natural looking than the poured and pressed versions, which i like more.
