While I was in town I had some fun shopping with my mom and I picked up some beauty products that I wanted to share with y'all! I am very excited about these finds! I have only been using them for about a week now but I can give you a quick "first impression" of each item. Enjoy!

Beauty Blender
I have fallen in love with this little guy so quickly! I have been using either my fingers or a disposable make-up sponge to apply my foundation up until now. I've wanted to try the Beauty Blender for a long time now and everyone seems to rave about it. Now I know why! The blender really sheers out my foundation so that I don't end up with cake face but it still applies with a full coverage. It really has been the best of both worlds! When I was checking out, I had enough points to get a 100 point perk and there was a sample of the Beauty Blender cleaner so I grabbed that! How perfect! I would recommend getting a cleaner along with your blender if you don't already have one because the product does seem to build up quickly in the sponge and a clean blender will better distribute your foundation!
Bite Beauty Luminous Creme Lipstick in Granache
This color would typically be a little out of my comfort zone, however, I saw it and just fell in love! It's a beautiful purple-ish pink (I believe it's described as a "cool pink.") I love pairing this lipstick with a bold winged liner. Bite Beauty is my absolute favorite for lip products and they haven't disappointed me so far! This lipstick is so creamy and stays put! I paired it with one of my new lip liners (coming up) and it lasted about 6 hours (through many Starbucks cups)!
Sephora Nano Lip Liners
I bought two lip liners (the first two I've ever had, honestly) from the Sephora line. I am not typically a huge fan of this line, however, I figured for my first time testing out liners (and at $5 a piece) it wouldn't hurt. I picked up one in "Lovely Lilac" which is a plum color. This color works beautifully with another deep purple lipstick I own from Covergirl. I think with the darker lipsticks, a liner is a must! I have been loving the darker mauves and purples for fall and winter this year so I know I will get a lot of use out of this liner! The other color I got is "Queen Quartz" which is more of a pinky-nude. I have soooo many pink and nude lipsticks that it was a no-brainer that this one would get a lot of love! I like using this liner with the Bite lipstick in "Granache" because the plum liner is a bit too purple for that one so I went lighter with my liner. So far, I've been enjoying both liners and their formulas (nice and creamy) so I am excited to broaden my horizons and get some more lip liners!
MAC Matte in Pink Plaid
I don't typically go for matte lipsticks but this is just the prettiest pink! I like to add my Covergirl gloss (coming up) on top for some shimmer and it's just perfect! I don't think I'll ever have enough pink lipsticks so I was happy to add this one to my collection. Even for a matte finish, it goes on smoothly and is light enough that it doesn't look cakey or dry. I think this lipstick will be a great go-to all year long since it's so versatile!
Covergirl Colorlicious in Honeyed Kiss
I wanted a nice, neutral lipgloss that I could layer on lipsticks so give my lips and extra glow. I found this beauty at Target (bonus: it was only like $6)! It is beautiful on its own or on top of a lipstick. I especially like pairing this with my MAC Pink Plaid (as I previously mentioned). The gloss is a nude shade with a light shimmer. It's perfect for the holiday season to give that extra pop and glow to your lips! It's not tacky or sticky and lasts longer than any gloss I've used in the past. There are many shades in this gloss and I'm very tempted to go grab a few more!
Neutrogena Healthy Skin Primer
This is the first "drug store" primer I've ever used. And so far, it's a winner! I've been using this one for about a week now and so far I haven't broken out or had any weird skin issues. This primer definitely smoothes out my skin before I apply my foundation and I notice that my make-up lasts longer without looking muddy. I used my foundation for about two weeks without a primer and I couldn't handle it any longer! I missed having an extra layer between my foundation and my skin. I tend to have an oily T-zone and drier skin around my chin but this primer works with both areas. I haven't noticed any oil build up or flaking with my foundation since using this primer. It may be too early to speak, but I am loving this! I hope it continues to wow because it is a fraction of the price of my previous primers!
EOS Lip Balm
I will never buy another lip balm ever! I have used EOS lip balms for over a year now and they are absolutely my favorite! I chose Sweet Mint this time because I thought the smell was perfect for the holiday/winter season. This isn't a super exciting purchase but it was definitely a necessity! My lips are always in need of some extra care so a moisturizing lip balm is a must for me. The cute packaging for EOS is just a plus! SO CUTE!
Well there ya have it! My (somewhat little) haul from my trip back home for Thanksgiving! What recent beauty products have you recently picked up? Or are adding to your wish list? Let me know!
