Happy December everyone! My, my, how time is just zooming by. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend. 🙂
Well, it’s the start of a new month which means it’s time to share items I have been loving all throughout November. Let’s get started!
Why Not Me? Mindy Kaling
Featured in October’s PopSugar Must Have Box, this was a fairly quick and great read. A humorously written account of her life and experiences, I especially loved the beauty advice she gives.
“Who is the beauty icon that inspires you the most? Is it Sophia Loren? Audrey Hepburn? Halle Berry? Mine is Nosferatu, because that vampire taught me my number-one and number-two favorite beauty tricks of all time: avoid the sun at all costs and always try to appear shrouded in shadows.”
I mean, there is some truth in that. 😉
Dior Addict Lip Maximizer High Volume Lip Plumper in Pink 001
After my horrible experience with the Dior Addict Fluid Stick-it made my lips burn and feel sensitized-I returned it and the sales associate gave me a sample of this. I took a liking to this immediately. I don’t think it plumped up my lips but the high shine, non-sticky texture is amazing. It’s light pink in color and feels slightly minty on the lips without being overwhelming.
Skinfix Ultra Rich Body Butter
A little body butter jar that came in my Target Beauty Box, I keep this on my nightstand as it deeply moisturizes my dry hands. It absorbs fairly quickly and doesn’t really have a scent. I love mixing this with my favorite lavender essential oil for a customized scent.
Kiko Cosmetics Smart Lipstick in 901 Natural Neige
I was ecstatic when a Kiko Cosmetics store opened up near me and one of the first things I gravitated towards was this lipstick. At a little less than $5, this lipstick is absolutely amazing. (Note: I found this one in the discount section of the store.) Creamy and the perfect nude color for me, this looks great worn alone or under lip gloss. Did I mention it is under $5? You need this.

Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation Stick in Natural Tan 4.25
I received an array of Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation Stick samples and immediately went to Macy’s to purchase the full size. The stick form makes this a breeze to apply and is perfect when you are on the go. It melts into moisturized skin and doesn’t look cakey on me plus the coverage can be light or built up.

Deepa Gurnani Katie Crystal Headband
Another PopSugar Must have item, I love this headband! It is festive and perfect for the holidays. It doesn’t move once you put it on,which is an issue I have sometimes with other headbands, and is super comfortable.
That’s it for my favorites.
What were your favorites this month?
