november favorites

Happy December, everyone! I love this month. I am such a little elf, I get so excited about the Christmas season (and all holidays in general). I love gift shopping for friends and family, decorating, watching Christmas movies, drinking hot chocolate, playing in the snow...everything about December gets me jazzed, I am such a five year old at heart. I'm not really a cold-weather person (I think anything below 75 is arctic and unbearable), but I love fall/winter fashion and the first few snowfalls of the season. To celebrate the start of December, here is a list of my favorites from November. 

MAC Rebel - I love this dark, vampy berry-red lipstick for winter. I love red lipstick in general (MAC Russian Red is my all-time favorite and classic go to), and this darker berry shade has been perfect for the season. The color is mostly opaque with the perfect amount of sheerness. If you're looking for a bold color choice but are nervous about looking too vampy or gothic, I would recommend this! 

Breaking Bad - I resisted jumping on the Breaking Bad bandwagon for a while, but now I'm obsessed. I spent many a November night ditching plans and studying to binge on episodes. Anytime anyone tries to talk about it I yell at them and cover my ears because I really don't want to know how it ends. I'm halfway through season five and dying of anticipation.


Jennifer Lawrence - I have such a girl crush on Jennifer Lawrence right now. I love everything about her and feel like if we met we would be best friends. Is that weird? Probably. But I love her. 


Hunter Rain Boots - I don't know how I lived before I had my rain boots. I ordered them a couple of months ago and they saved my life for the rainy, cold month of November. I've had other rain boots in the past but they've always ended up tearing or letting water in. These boots are relatively expensive and they're also heavy, which makes walking all over campus a little taxing, but they're warm and super durable. Everyone and their sister seems to have a pair of these so I resisted getting them at first, but they're great and a worthy investment. It's recently snowed a lot here and they're perfect for trekking through the ice and snow, not to mention more sleek and stylish than most snow boots.
Loreal Voluminous Butterfly Mascara - This mascara is definitely my new favorite and when I think of products that I used in November, this is a stand out. My favorite mascara is Loreal Voluminous and this is like the new and improved version. It has a wingtip brush to lengthen and extend lashes to the outer corner of the eye, which is perfect if you love the cat eye look as much as I do. I've tried a ton of mascaras, both low and high end, and this cheap drugstore find is better than any expensive designer brands I've tried. 


Last but not least, I'm loving having bangs, which is something I decided to do in November. I have naturally curly hair so they're a lot of maintenance, but so far worth it! Here's a picture of my mom and me on Thanksgiving, which is of course another highlight of November:


Happy December and good luck to anyone taking final exams right now! Xoxo
