2. The Wet Brush. McKenna recently dropped a pink Wet Brush off at my parent's house for my mom to try, and I snatched it up for a trial run. My mom may not be seeing this brush for a while now (oops) because I love it. I don't know how this brush works so well, but the super thin bristles comb through my hair in seconds. My normal post-shower routine involves muscle cramps and arm spasms from spending what seems like forever detangling my naturally curly and wavy hair with a wide-tooth comb. My hair is a little deceiving because it is much thicker than it looks (I've been told this by tired, exasperated hair stylists for years). This brush majorly cuts down on the time I spend brushing and detangling my hair, and both my arms and scalp are grateful.
3. Benefit They're Real! Mascara. When it comes to mascara I'm a drugstore brand girl. In my opinion most drugstore brands are better than high-end (and for a fraction of the cost). However, I finally splurged on this mascara after loving a sample I got from Sephora months ago. I have small, deep-set eyes that I guess you could affectionately describe as cat shaped (basically, applying mascara is a bitch). With this product, the process is much easier and results in longer, thicker, darker lashes. I have to admit, it is a little better than my usual drugstore mascara purchases, but I still stand by my tried and true favorite L'Oreal Voluminous.
4. Essie Limo-Scene. Normally I stick to dark colors and varying shades of red for fall and winter, but lately I've been attracted to super pale pinks and nudes. This polish is the perfect neutral for fall, and after a quick paint job at Alex's I'm convinced I never want to take it off.
5. Shearling Luck Hooded Jacket - from Tobi. I purchased this jacket too late in the season to wear much last year, but I definitely took advantage of it this October. It's so (so, so, so) soft and warm without being too heavy or suffocating. It feels (and admittedly sort of looks) like walking around in a cozy robe. I even paired it with some leather leggings and furry white ears for Halloween and went as a lamb.
6. Aquaphor. My skin and lips are protesting the dry, cold weather, but I'm fighting back with the countless tubes of this product I keep everywhere. I generally have one in my purse, my makeup bag, beside my bed and in my car. This product is amazing for dry lips, and I also use it on my fingers when the skin gets really dry around my nails. It's a must-have in my beauty arsenal.
Happy November!
