September Favorites

Hi beauties,

It's that time of the month again! Time for my monthly favorites post that is... I know that my blog has been lacking in posts lately (my last post was my August favorites!). I am very sorry for this. My school outfits have consisted of nike shorts and oversized t-shirts with a few dresses and blouses mixed in. Honestly, it's still so hot that I can't bring myself to care much about my appearance at school - the heat and humidity have my face oily anyway! I'm excited for the weather to cool down so I can pull out my sweaters and boots. But until then, I probably won't have much to post. Now on to my September Favorites:

Beauty
Sonia Kashuk 'Confidential Concealer' and Maybelline 'Mega Plush' mascara.
The two products I've been using almost every day this month. 'Mega Plush' is my favorite drugstore mascara and I've needed a good concealer for my dark under-eyes lately.

Hair
TRESemmé Keratin Smooth shampoo and conditioner.
This haircare duo was super inexpensive and works wonders for my frizzy hair.

Shoes
Hunter 'Original Tour' boots in red. 
We've had quite a few rainy days this month where I live. These boots are bright and comfortable, perfect for walking through puddles in a downpour.

New Purchases
1D+OD nail polish set
One Direction 'Our Moment' perfume (available here and here)
And my One Direction obsession continues... But in all actuality, both of these purchases are amazing. They are not only celebrity-branded, but also great quality products. I will be doing a review on both the nail polish set and the perfume. I wore the nail color 'Confident' (Niall's color) this month.

Blog
Chiara Ferragni, The Blonde Salad.
Obsessed with Chiara. Can I have her life, please?

Events
I saw This Is Us! If you want to see a picture of me with cardboard cutouts of a British-Irish boy band, here you go. The movie was phenomenal and made me realize that I need to meet a boy with a British or Irish accent ASAP. But really.

I also ran (walked) a 5k with two of my best friends to benefit a children's cancer center. It was a good experience and the weather was wonderful. I actually hate running though. Here's a picture.

Miscellaneous

New "reading" material! I haven't made much time for pleasure reading lately because of all my other responsibilities. But I can always justify a quick flip through a catalog or two. Especially Fall catalogs. (Dreamy eyes and a sigh.) I enjoyed the Nordstrom, PBteen, Anthropologie, Teen Vogue (September), and Harper's Bazaar (October) catalogs/lookbooks/magazines/WHATEVER.


Well, that sums up my September Favorites. I have a few blog posts planned for the next few days (weeks). I will be doing reviews on the 1D nail polishes and perfume. I also might have a few outfit posts coming up soon. And other great surprises, as well! Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you enjoyed.
