September Favorites

I was a bit of a makeup minimalist in September.   Since I have been in training with my new job I stuck to the basics. 

Becca/Jaclyn Hill Champagne Pop - I can't get enough of this highlighter.  Every time I wear it all I can think is highlight on fleck.  If you are still living under a rock and haven't bought this you need to run to Sephora like yesterday. 

Bite Beauty Deluxe Creme Lipstick in 002 - Bite Beauty has been releasing a limited edition shade of lipstick every month.  For the first few months of the year I had been diligent about buying them.  This is the shade from February.  It is a nice egg plant shade.  Perfect for this time of year.  

Glossier Skin Tint - I recently bought this and have been testing it out.  I enjoy a nice lightweight foundation.  I have a more on depth review coming soon. 

LA Girl Cosmetics Pro Concealer - This has quickly become my holy grail.  I have already bought a back up.  I love the coverage it gives and how great of an eyeshadow base it is. 

By Terry Ombre Blackstar in Misty Rock - If I had to get rid of all my eyeshadows and only keep one it would be Misty Rock.  It is such a beautiful mauve/purple shade.  I smudge this all over my lids and blend it out with a MAC 217.  

What are your September favorites ?? 

Bite Beauty Lip Lab Limited Releases {January, February, March, & April}

Back in January Bite Beauty started to release one limited edition lipstick a month.  They called them the Lip Lab Limited Release Creme Deluxe Lipstick ($36).  That is a mouth full.  So, the first Wednesday of every month a new shade is released.  As the name says these are limited so you better scoop them up fast.  I have set up an alarm so I remember. Ha!  Now the first month there was a bit of controversy.  I was not able to get my hands on the first one because I just totally forgot.  Then I read Temptalia's review saying how dry the formula was and  I didn't feel so bad.  Apparently a lot of people complained and Bite Beauty listened and re-released Januarys shade in a new formula.  I was able to get my hands on that one.  And may I say it is pretty creamy.  However March and April's shades are much creamier.  I digress.  Like any other Bite Beauty product these are all natural and smell great.  And these are very pigmented. 

   

Shade 001 - January - Deep Burgundy with red undertone

Shade 002 - February - Japanese Eggplant - a perfectly balanced pink/purple

Shade 003 - March - Chili Pepper - fire red/coral 

Shade 004 - April - Dragon Fruit - rich, luminous fuchsia

Overall I am really enjoying these shades.  I especially love March.  It is such a bright red and prefect for this time of year.  I will be collecting them all since I am such a makeup hoarder.  And I just love Bite Beauty so much.  But, I will say that the price tag is a bit steep since all their other lipsticks are less expensive and just as good quality.   

Have you tired these limited edition beauties ?? Will you be collecting them all ??
