1) ARTISTRY Lip Colour in Couture (the 3rd lip colour in the palette) - I've been all about dark lips lately & been wearing this wine/berry lip colour with my everyday look (which will be posted in an upcoming entry). I like to pair this color up with a shiny lipgloss for an extra pop of shine.
2) MAC Eyeshadow in Vertile - Currently, one of my favorite purple to use as a crease color. I like to pair it with Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Flash & smoke it out with ARTISTRY Eyeshadow in Black Tie.
3) MAC Beauty Powder in Pretty Baby - I like to use this as a face highlighter & since it doesn't really show up on my skin, I use it as an setting powder.
4) NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Black Bean - This makes for a great color base for a smokey look & also, makes a great eyeliner on the waterline (paired up with another eyeliner).
5) ULTA Glitter Eyeliners in Topaz & Purple - I like to use these eyeliners on the lower lashline for more oompf to any look. Great for holiday makeup looks!
6) MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Medium-Dark/Natural & Shimmer - My first MSF & I've been using it daily ever since I bought it. The matte/natural side makes for a great setting powder & the shimmer side gives me a glowy look without making me look greasey.
7) Urban Decay Surreal Skin Creamy Concealer in Hallucination - Not as 'creamy' as they claim, but I still like to use it under my eyes & the bridge of my nose.
8) ARTISTRY Lip Shine in Gifted - It's a sheer shimmery light pink that I like to pair with ARTISTRY Couture Lip Colour. The lip shine goes on smooth, not thick, & doesn't make my lip chapped/peel (HUGE plus).
9) Revlon Creme Lipstick in Nude Velvet - Such a HUGE fan of nudes & this is just one of my favorite nude lipsticks. It has a pinky color so, it's not a ghostly pale nude.
10) ELF Brushes (Special Edition from Target) - Great quality for only $1, what more can I say...buy them!
What are some of your November favorites?

I've been TRYING to cut back on my hauls, but ever since the grand opening of Ulta to the town next to me makes it so difficult! I'm trying to limit myself to going to Ulta to once a week instead of 2-3 visits per week. So far, so good! While I was at Ulta this week, I bought Urban Decay Surreal Skin Creamy Concealer in Hallucination & NYX Single Eyeshadow in Hot Orange. The only brands of concealer I've used are ARTISTRY, Stila, Cover Girl, & Hard Candy (review on this soon!) so, I'm relucent to trying new concealers. My favorite is ARTISTRY because it's the only concealer that is truly creamy so, when I saw Urban Decay's Surreal Skin 'Creamy' Concealer, I had to buy it & put it to the tes
t. I've been using it for a couple days now. I like it, but it's more liquid-y in consistency than it is 'creamy'. It reminds me of my Stila concealer, but I like Urban Decay's better. One thing I really don't like is the fact that Urban Decay does not offer concealers for medium-darker skintones. I use lighter shade to highlight my eyes & the bridge of my nose, but they don't offer a shade that matches my skintone for blemishes or other imperfections. Other than that, it's a pretty good concealer. Is it worth $16? I would have to say no! Maybe, $8-10, but $16.
While I was at Sally's, I picked up 2 pairs of lashes & a nail polish. I haven't been buying many pairs of lashes for myself lately. Instead, I've buying lashes to stock up in my kits for my clients. I finally decided to pick some lashes for myself since I was getting tired of wearing my Ardell #120 Demi's. So, I picked up a pair of Ardell Wispies & Demi Wispies. I LOVE Wispies lashes! I only got one pair because that was the only one left! So, I got a pair of the Demi Wispies. They kind of remind me of the #120 Demi's, but just a tad bit bigger/longer. After I was done taking a picture of the lashes I was going to buy, I noticed how badly I needed to do my nails! So, I decided to pick up a nail polish by China Glaze. The color is VII. It's a dark non-shimmer purple color, it's gorgeous!
