Best of November Roundup - Skin Care, Makeup, Hair (Travel Edition)

Hello, When I travel, I pack essential products that are almost used up from home and lots of samples for ease of packing.  Below are some of the star products that I used everyday during my trip in the month of November:

Skin Care


1)  Sisley Cleansing Milk with White Lily
2)  Yes to Cucumbers Facial Towelettes (used up, not pictured)
3)  Chantecaille Ultra Sun Protection SPF 50 PA+++ Anti-Glycation Primer
4)  Kate Somerville Goat Milk Cream (used up, not pictured)


Makeup


1)  Skin79 VIP Gold Collection Super Beblesh Balm
2)  Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler
3)  Dolce & Gabbana Powder Foundation in Warm 100 - I decided that this powder foundation might be better for combination/oily skins.  It was a bit too drying for my skin especially in cold weather
4)  Chanel Le Crayon Sourcils Precision Brow Definer in Soft Brown
5)  YSL Dessin Du Regard Eye Pencil in 001 Velvet Black
6)  YSL Volume Effet Faux Cils Shocking Mascara in No. 5 Black Burgundy
7)  Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara in 02 Black/Brown
8)  Trish McEvoy Little Black Card in Delicate Beauty
9)  Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm in Hibiscus
10)  Dolce & Gabbana Passion Duo Gloss Fusion Lipstick in 30 Delight



Hair

1)  Josie Maran Argan Oil Hair Serum

I also discovered some good products from the samples that I used such as Sponge Ladi Avokanto.  I was so impressed that I picked up a full size bottle when I came back home.

If there are any products from this post that you would like me to review, please comment below and I will do my best to do so.  Thanks for reading.  Until next post......

In The Mood for Fall Makeup

Hello, Fall is fast approaching!  But...I have not yet tasted Summer because the notorious fog always take over the area where I live.  We end up with a nice Indian Summer in October and even into November here, better late than never.  I will take what I can get!

After reading about many of the new Fall makeup collections and fragrances, I am in the mood to go check out the buffet of beauty in person.  It is once again time for the Neiman Marcus Beauty Event beginning September 8 to September 18.  They are offering a tote bag with samples with cosmetics and fragrance purchase over $100 or more.  There are also GWP offered at the individual counter.  I received my flyer about the event today. Here is the list of samples that will come with the tote, lots of new items for the Fall:
  • Givenchy Dahlia Noir Fragrance (NM exclusive)
  • Prada Candy Fragrance (NM exclusive)
  • Sisley-Paris Supremya
  • Laura Mercier Mini Flawless Face Polish
  • Jack Black Lip Balm
  • Fekkai Technician Mask and Highlighting Cream
  • Le Metier de Beaute New Day Cream (NM Exclusive)
  • Bottega Veneta Fragrance (NM Exclusive)
  • AmorePacific Time Response Eye Renewal Creme (NM Exclusive)
For me, I would love to try all the new fragrances, play with the darker makeup colors, and check out the new Le Metier de Beaute skincare line.  What are you looking forward to trying out this Fall?  Until next post......

Gorgeous colors of  Fall.   Rich and vibrant blues, reds, plums, and purples
