September // Favorites & Flops



I cannot believe September is already over! How can it already be October? When it comes to beauty and fashion autumn is definitely my favorite season. I am so excited for the months to come!


essence all about nudes eye shadow paletteI love  this. I resisted buying this palette for a while since I already own a lot of eyeshadows and really did not need this (do you ever need make up?). When it went on sale I could not hold back anymore. I love every color in this palette. There is not one I do not use. This is definitely one of those products that I will use in my everyday make up a lot. So worth it!


Urban Decay primer potion: When you want to wear eye shadow you need a primer - or at least I do. Nothing ever stays on my lids for more than  five minutes without an eye shadow primer. I have had this for a while now but I do not talk about it a lot since it is pretty much a no-brainer. I do prefer this over the NARS eye shadow base and over any other drugstore primer I ever tried. It is pricey but in my opinion totally worth it.


tetesept bubble bath: I have talked about this before in my February Favorites of this year. With the weather getting colder and the beginning of autumn I have rediscovered my love for bubble baths. This is an amazing product for movie-like bubbles to fill up your bath tube. I am not the biggest fan of the packaging but that probably won't keep me from repurchasing.

FLOPS

alverde eye creme for dry skin: I had such high hopes for this! My eye area is very sensitive and there are a lot of eye cremes that do not work for me. Sadly this is one of them. It might even be the worst. It dried out my skin and left some really strange white residue on my skin. It made my eye area feel really tight (not in a good way) and really uncomfortable. I do not know whether I might be allergic to it or whether this is simply a 'bad' product. Usually I never have problems with alverde skin care. I stopped using this and got an alternative eye creme after giving it a try for a few days. I cannot recommend this product.

Nivea eye make up remover: I think I have owned this before. I do not know when but somehow I have bad memories of this product. Why did I still buy it? I love the other make up remover by Nivea I used recently. After trying it once I already decided I had to get another one. I hate it. It burns in my eyes and it does not do a good job at removing my eye make up. What little mascara that it does take off my lashes it just gets it all over your eye area and you just end up looking like a panda.

What are your favorite products of September?
