November Favorites!

December is here! So, I thought I would start off the month with my monthly favorites of November.

Let's jump right in, here are all of my favorites this month!  It's not as much as usual, but I've still been loving everything from my October Favorites, as well.

Skincare and Perfume:

Clarins SPF 30 Sun Wrinkle Control Cream For Face - €28

I was in the market for a new Facial Sunscreen and I was browsing through my options at the Kaufhof in Frankfurt, and I just decided to go with this one from Clarins.  I've never tried anything from Clarins before, but I'm really impressed with this!  It doesn't have that awful sunscreen smell, that I hate, but it still gives great protection, as well.

Caudalie Vinosource S.O.S. Thirst Quenching Serum

I've been working through my never-ending stock of serum samples and I've finally reached this one.  I use it after I tone, both in morning and evening, and I can say that this is the best serum I've tried yet! After I wash my face and tone, my skin feels a bit tight and this really makes my skin feel hydrated.  Plus, it's only €28 (as compared to the $48 they charge in the US!), so I've definitely been convinced to buy the full-size of this once I run out!

Dolce & Gabanna Pour Femme EDP 25 ml - €60

I am officially obsessed with this scent.  This was recently re-released by Dolce & Gabanna, and after I smelled it at Douglas, it had to be mine!  I ended up using half of the bottle in just November, which is terrible considering the ghastly price :( It smells like winter and raspberries (if that makes sense) and it's a very grown-up, sexy scent!

Make-Up:

Urban Decay Naked Palette - $50

I bought this palette back in August and it hasn't received much love since I bought it, so this month, I decided to try and use it more and I ended up falling in love with it!  I mostly stuck to the neutral colors, as they make perfect day-time eye looks.

This was my most-used combination of the month: Virgin and Naked.  I put Virgin all over the lid, and put Naked in the crease and then used Virgin again as a highlight for under my browbone and in the inner corner of my eye.

Dior Shimmer Star 002 Amber Diamond - $44

I had been skipping highlighting for the past few months, not feeling the need to highlight when I was just going to school, but this month that all changed.  I could see that my skin was looking a bit dull due to the Winter-haze, so I pulled this baby out and didn't look back! It gives a beautiful glow to the cheekbones, and really makes a difference to the overall look!

Hopefully, you can see the beautiful highlight that is Dior Amber Diamond, worth every penny!

Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler - £20

I bought this at Space NK when I was in London in September.  I had never owned an eyelash curler before, so this was me branching out.  I used it a bit in October, but it was hard for me to remember to add it to my daily routine.  However, in November, I really broke these in and now they are habitual and I really don't think I could live without the beautiful curl they give!

Burberry Lip Cover No. 14 Prune - £23

I also bought this while I was in London (at the John Lewis on Oxford Street) in September.  I was feeling really brave at the beginning of November and decided to use this gorgeous, vampy color quite a lot.  It's a beautiful dark purpley-red, sort of an oxblood color, if you will.  It's definitely not for the faint-hearted, but it's definitely worth a swatch! Very perfect for a night-time look or during these winter months!  

MAC Matte Lipstick 'Velvet Teddy' - $15

This is my final favorite of the month!  Although, I was loving the dark, vampy lip this month, I wasn't always up for that look, so on the days that I wasn't feeling as confident about rocking that look, I went for this lipstick.  I actually used to hate this lipstick, finding it to be too orange-based.  It is a beigey-orangey-nude color, but I actually decided it looked quite nice with my skin, about as nude as it's going to get with me!

So, that's it for my November Favorites.  I hope you enjoyed the post!
