Where did the month go? It was just Halloween! On that note, it's time for an updated favorites post and I have some new, recent goodies to share. There have been loads of new launches and releases and some recent favorites that I have just discovered (or rediscovered) and have come to love! Favorite posts are so much fun to write and read because instead of writing about something I hate, I can rave about all the things I genuinely use on the daily. I'm gonna try to make this post quick and very concise as I have already raved a ton about these products during the month (and will post the links to where I wrote about them in the past) so, I hope you guys enjoy this format a bit better!
Milani Conceal + Perfect 2 in 1 Foundation- a great long wearing foundation for normal skin types and has a really great full coverage effect! Applied with a damp beauty sponge to maximize coverage and blend better. Read about it more, here.
Mini Smashbox Photo Finish Hydrating Under Eye Concealer- this under eye primer really conquers all other under eye primers. It goes on smooth and keeps my concealer on and crease-free! I have trouble with creasing and cracking concealer and it really helps to moisturize my skin all day. Read more, here.
Wet 'n' Wild Ombre Blush in Princess Daiquiris- I really fell in love with the pigmentation of this blush and the velvetiness of it. While some don't fall head over heels with the color, I think it's very pretty and subtle to add a touch of frostiness to the cheeks. Continue reading about it, here.
Soap & Glory Glow All Out Powder- I really enjoy this illuminating powder. It's not as intense as a highlighter and it, again, leaves a very subtle frostiness to the cheekbones. I use it almost every day! View the original post, here.
Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara- there was a little concern at first when I tried the waterproof version of this mascara and completely hated the formula, however, I never tried the original! It definitely lives up to the hype that everyone hears and talks about. Read more in detail, here.
Too Faced Love Palette Eyeliner- found in the Too Faced Love palette, this eyeliner is a very hidden gem. I don't think I have mentioned this eyeliner on it's own before. It's a great, smooth pencil liner for anyone who avoids all pen eyeliners. It has a sponge tip for smudging and works very well. See my Love palette review, here.
Essie Luxeffects Top Coat in Tassel Shaker- this was a pretty recent score lately when I was strolling down an aisle at my local Walgreens. It was on clearance for 50% off and is an incredibly gorgeous color. This topcoat has a mix of copper, gold, and rose gold in it. The perfect nail polish for me! It looks awesome on top of or with pretty much every color.
This month has really proved to be one of my more successful makeup finding months. I have found so many great products that I use all the time now. Hopefully November doesn't fly by (but, I mean Christmas can come as soon as possible!) too fast. What products have you all been loving lately?

These chillier nights are calling for cozy, candle lit, Netflix binging while snuggled up in a bunch of blankets. With that being said, my favorite time of the year to use and buy candles is here. I have collected a couple new candles to last this season and I literally want to eat them all (calm down Natalie). If you know me, then you know that I have an obsession with candles. It's getting better every year but, more and more stores are creating beautiful and deliciously smelling candles. Who doesn't love 'em as much as I do?
To start, a recent purchase from Bath and Body Works, is this Mahogany Teakwood candle. As my mom would describe it, "It smells like man," she says...as I cringe and slowly walk away. Honestly, it does give off a musky, Lumberjack type scent...and I'm not complaining! I would recommend this candle if you like the more fresh and woodsy smells. Also, Bath and Body has come out with these gorgeous marbled candles so, why wouldn't I buy it?!
I had to make an errand to Target about a week ago and I was strolling past all of the clearance sections, as you do, and spotted all of their candles for 50% off. I tried not to get carried away so, after smelling every single fall candle they have, I decided on the Autumn Harvest candle that smells pretty much...of all things autumn. It's crisp and really fresh smelling; it's pretty subtle in terms of how "sicky" or strong the smell is because sometimes fall candles do have a very potent smell.
Received as a gift from my aunt was this Yankee Candle Autumn Pumpkin candle. It is very sweet and really gives off that desired pumpkin scent. One of my yummier candles, in my opinion. It smells like my mom just made homemade pumpkin pie.
Lastly, my friend Ellie bought this small Scentsational Pumpkin Spice, one wick candle for my birthday this year. It smells very sweet and spicy. Probably one of the best fall candles that I have ever owned. It's small, but mighty.
What fall scent have you been obsessing over this month?

Normally, I do a back to school shop but, this year I didn't have time to do any of it so over the past couple months I have been collecting some new pieces for this season. Fall is my favorite time of year to really express my style; it's super easy to think of outfits because you don't have to deal with oppressing heat and sun all the time. Layering pieces and not wearing flip flops everyday is something that I always get excited about for this time of year.
I haven't worn colored pants since the sixth grade but, boy do these blushed AEO Denim X Jeggings look so cute! I know that pink is not normally a color you would wear in the fall but, I think this shade really works. Especially paired with a black and white flannel, it can add a nice touch of color without making you look like an Easter extravaganza. They're so comfortable and were only $20 at American Eagle!
I have always loved the look of booties and chelsea boots, specifically, look great paired with skinny jeans. I wanted a pair that would have a slight heel and were also a different color other than chestnut or black. The AEO D-Ring Western Bootie is quite the bootie! At first, they were a bit snug, probably due to the pointed toe, but I broke them in and they can really dress up any fall look, which I love. They're classic and timeless--a great fall shoe.
I have been obsessed by the look of a cute, woven pom pom hat lately. This one I actually got a while back at H&M is no longer on the website, but I linked one similar anyway. You can feel warm and snug while looking very cute and ready for winter!
Another thing that I found was this huge blanket scarf from the Target dollar section (of course). Whenever I go to Target they always seem to be out and this one happened to be there one day and I was like, "Uhhh why haven't I ever seen this before?!". It was only $7 and it's honestly one of the best scarves I have ever owned. I love the dark greens and blues in it instead of your usual reds and beige colors you seen in fall scarves; perfect for fall and winter, as well.
I have been loving the fall fashion trends lately and am always up for a change! Let me know what types of pieces or trends you guys have been loving this fall down below.
Xoxo, Nat
