Happy November 1st! One day closer to Thanksgiving aka the best holiday ever. But anyways, welcome to my very first beauty post! Instead of just posting my beauty favorites of the month on my Instagram story, I have decided to create a new beauty/skincare/haircare post once a month.
Obviously, fashion has my heart, but makeup, haircare, and skincare have always been a close second. Ever since I was thirteen, I used to watch makeup and hair tutorials on YouTube whenever I had free time. Makeup is truly an art and is so fun to experiment with and try new things.

My go to hairstyle is loose waves. My secret, DO NOT WASH YOUR HAIR EVERYDAY. This may be hard for those of you who work out often or play sports but I am pretty much the epitome of a couch potato when it comes to that stuff so it's definitely easier for me to skip washes. But seriously, dry shampoo is my BFF.
On days when I do wash my hair and heat style it, I apply a pea sized amount of either argan oil or the Macadamia Healing Oil Treatment. Then I will blow-dry my hair real fast, nothing special. I use a Conair, 1 1/4 inch curling wand, with no clamp. I take medium sized sections, and curl from the middle to the bottom of the sections. It takes me less than ten minutes! Doing this allows me to go a few days without washing, but it still looks clean. I use a little dry shampoo on days I don't wash my hair, my fave is Psssst. Voila!

It's crazy to think how just a black line/wing across your eye can make such a difference. Liquid eyeliner is bomb. Specifically, Stila Stay All Day Liquid Eyeliner. I have been using this product since I was fifteen and have probably gone through twelve pens. Highly suggest!
Freshman year of high school, when I got my job, I used my very first paycheck to buy the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette. I used that exact palette for two of the proms I attended. In my opinion they have the best eyeshadows! My newest obsession has been the Naked Heat palette. Been loving warmer tones with my brown eyes. Definitely worth the price. Also a great gift for my fellow makeup lovers!
Hands down the best concealer I have ever used! Awesome range of colors as well as super blend-able and long lasting.

The only lipgloss I ever wear. It is not sticky at all and moisturizes your lips while giving a nice sheen of color.
Thank you for reading.
