 Hi friends I am so excited about being able to bring you monthly favorites of September. September has been the month from you know where for me. It has been horrible. I have had so many things happen in September. My husband got in the bad accident at work where he got a horrible concussion. It was really just awful. My mom and dad have been diagnosed of COVID. My son has been recovering from back surgery. It has been a month for me. So needless to say I'm really happy to see it go. I think I've said that every month so far this year. I'm happy to see it go and the next month come in because I'm hopeful for the next month. Thank you guys all so much for your well wishes about my mom and dad. I really don't have much of an update about them. They are just kind of holding their own. This is the third week they're going into with COVID but there's no complications and I'm happy about that. So the other thing about my husband is he's doing really well. He has gone back to work and I think it's been a week and a half and he had those big long staples in his head. I mean the skin on the head is super thick and you know it's really hard to get that skin to come together to heal and he had those big long staples in there and once he got the staples out his head quit hurting which I was like when I saw how long they were I was like no wonder it hurt you know all the time from that skin being pulled all the time you can imagine you know when we have our hair up when I have my hair up anyway I get this really bad headache at the end of the day if I don't just take it out and let it just you know be what it is so you guys probably can imagine what he was going through and then my son is doing really well he finally went back to work too. So we are looking up as far as everything goes if I can keep my mother and dad from having any complications I'm gonna be a happy camper. So I did want to make sure that I told you guys all that and I thanked you so much for all of your well wishes you guys helped get me through. You guys are wonderful. So because there is so much in this video it's going to be like slam and quick because I have a ton of products. I have some that were misses but I have some that were hits and I want to get all of them in here but if you're new to my channel make sure you subscribe, like and hit the bell notification all those things I would love to have you here. Thanks everyone else for being a part of my channel and hit the like for me if you will make sure that you do that. Let's get into the monthly favorites so that you can see everything right now. Alright first I want to talk about skincare and when I did a skincare video I think it's the video I did right before this one put up before this one. Nope it was probably two videos ago because I did have another one go up. So this is my light LAD so it's spelled L-Y-T-E that is the brand and it's the LAD device that I use on my skin and this is a really great device it holds a charge a long time and it does a really great job of doing that LAD effect to your skin. I have been really concentrating on my foreheads, my crows, my foreheads, my forehead, my crow's feet and my lips lightly for all of my skincare devices and I do have a couple if you guys are interested in that let me know in the comment section because I can do some videos on just what I use for devices. So this one isn't terribly expensive I've seen some that are really really expensive and I want to make sure I told you that this one was sent to me but I don't get a commission off of talking about it or anything it's been a long time since they sent it to me and at first I was like I don't know if I see a difference but now I'm starting to really see a difference and this is at least eight to ten weeks later so don't give up if you feel like okay I've tried this for a month nothing's really happening it takes a while you know on our mature skin to have things show up same thing with any skincare that you use you're probably not going to see a difference in the first bottle if it's an ounce bottle you'll see a difference later on so I've I've really been enjoying this it takes five minutes wherever you put it so make sure you're just doing it like when you have your downtime at night and you do have to have clean dry skin but you just put it right you know wherever you want it to and then it just sits on the skin and each time you move it around it will you know go off when it's pulled away from the skin after it beeps and then you can move it to the next place and it should just come on automatically I have found that this does get pretty warm so if it gets too warm it won't come on right away you're gonna have to kind of cool it off and then you can just push it or put it on the next place that you're using it so I'm really enjoying this I think it's doing a really great job of helping to rejuvenate my older skin so I wanted to make sure that I mentioned it because a lot of you asked about that in the skincare video I didn't link it it is linked there and it will be linked here and now so you guys can see it and I can show you a demo if you guys want to see my skincare device alright as far as skincare goes I do have a few I want to talk about this is from Dermaputics this is the hyaluronic eye lift this has a super hyaluronic complex it also has peptides in it so it's kind of like for me I almost use it like a primer for my eye area it's very watery as you can see right there but at the same time has just a little bit of viscosity to it that really helps it just sink into the skin and so it's like gonna sit there without just sinking in and evaporating and I love that about it and it just really seems to plump that area up in the morning when before I put makeup on so that that area can be as smooth as possible it as it possibly can with the wrinkles that I do have and then I'm also enjoying a couple others that I did talk about this month as well from Imagine Dermatology their hyaluronic hydration honey supercharged moisturizer complex not only does it have the hyaluronic acid but it also has urea you guys know that I'm over the moon happy about what urea does for moisture in your face have specific products that I use for that and it also has polyglutamate acid which is supposed to hold four times the amount that hyaluronic acid does so we know that hyaluronic acid holds a thousand times its weight in water it'll attract that this will also hold four times that much four thousand times in polyglutamate acid I think that is just amazing in the molecule it will cut hold four thousand times its weight so I mean that's saying a lot I feel like that's just saying so much so good for holding moisture to your face use it in the mornings and at the end of the day you're still gonna have a really nice plump nice plump look to your face really love that and I also wanted to mention I had this in another video recently too Ollie got to these yes hi smuckers Ollie got to these but I love these these are the nails that you have that I have on right now I can tell you that I'm not as crazy about this length and this particular one from kiss as I am about the impress now these ones didn't seem to stay on as long as the impress with the impress I can get like five to seven days so if it does say the impress it has that pull tab you just pull it off and then you press it onto your nail and you just hold it for a little while and then you have a really strong hold on these nails that are they're acrylic by the way and they have the greatest designs isn't that beautiful I just love them and these ones are great too this one has like a bunch of bling on it and then just a white manicure right here I really like what they have they have a bunch of different ones and I've really been enjoying those this month for one of my misses I did want to mention that I picked up the new quads from flower beauty off of their website and these are really beautiful colors inside I was really excited about the colors they're this one has kind of a mauve almost a violet colors to it and then this one is more of a nude look to it and then this last one is just kind of light pinks and colors like that and these just don't have a lot of pigment to them and the problem is is that it takes forever to build them up as well so I just feel like these were just a really bad miss for me this month I would not recommend that you guys get these and I also tried on the high end I tried the new haze from hood of beauty these are the haze palettes I have the purple haze and I have the khaki haze and I do really like these this is a good formula it's hood is regular formula it's really saturated are really beautiful eyeshadow so there is the haze one that is that one so pretty and then the khaki one what I love about this one I loved this color right here even though that was khaki that was almost a cool toned brown and I thought that was so pretty and then again the metallics in here are fantastic and then you have these beautiful beautiful mats that really perform well across the eyes just subtly different and I just think that they're gonna be a staple in my eyeshadow rotation $29 I do think that that is a little bit much for a nine-pound palette you guys know that I just did a review of my nine-pound palettes on color pop so you could probably find something from color pop that you like but those are more monochromatic whereas these give you a little bit of a diversity in them and you're able to get you know several eye looks out of a little palette like this but I will tell you what's on the show for me this month it's LA girls new little nine-pan palettes themselves love these you guys this is like their big 16 pan palettes that I talked for talk about all the time oh my word okay this one is called playmate love these you guys they're so good they have that super hi-hi metallic formula that is just outstanding but this one I loved that had the peach in there I loved that had the deep brown in there that was almost like it's almost like a berry brown if that makes any sense think it's so gorgeous they're just every bit as good as the hood of beauty ones and they just look so pretty on the skin and I am in love with them this one is called play time and even though I do love the colors in here I actually think that I like that other one that I just showed you the playmate one I do think I like that just a little bit more and I know that's weird for me to even say but this one it has the gorgeous colors that are just so pretty if you're a purple lover like I am you're gonna love them they're right there I'm terrible at swatching you guys know this all right the last one that I'm gonna share with you is called down play and this is what I have on my eyes today I have this color right here on the lid I have this one as the transition and then I have this one that's the charcoal in the outer corner and then I have an elf color on the bottom be in another video but I really do love these they are super saturated super gorgeous I can't talk enough about that formula that formula is just pow out of this world and I just it's so pretty so vibrant so gorgeous you guys have any doubts about LA girl being a company that is drugstore it's cheap let me put those at rest because honestly you guys I have every single 16-pound palette that they've put out and then now I'm getting into these nine pounds that they just brought out this month and I can tell you right off the bat that these are fantastic and I over the moon happy happy happy with those revolution pro came out with a bunch of stuff for this time of year and one of them was this luster highlight okay first of all take a look at this packaging this is so luxe this is like everything that I've ever seen from like hood of beauty or Charlotte Tilbury or hourglass any of those companies this is absolutely as luxe look at the imprint it's a rose imprint like Smashbox did last year this is so pretty I cannot believe that they have done this all right the product in here I will say two things about it okay look how bright that is that's crazy bright right it is a tiny bit powdery I will say that this is a gorgeous color on the lids and second of all if you take this and you use it a little bit lighter I really dipped my finger in there you just look at use it a little bit lighter and you look at that glow holy Moses right oh my gosh look at the glow I think because of the imprint there is a little bit of kick up there but and I already have a lot of glow on already but look all my word oh my goodness look at the glow holy cow I'm looking in my little viewfinder I apologize this is just it's gorgeous you just have to go really light-handed on it because it can get away from you and when I say away from you I mean it could get to be too much if you use too much of it so just be aware of that I don't know you know it's a little bit powdery but oh my gosh it's just glow there's like no little particles of glitter in it or anything so beautiful beauty sent me the nicest care package this month of four different little palettes this is one of the face ones so it's a quad it has two highlighters in here and then it has this gorgeous two blushes right here which this blush is like a cool toned it's almost like you could definitely do your contour with it the only thing is it doesn't have a satin finish to it this blush doesn't this blush is more on the matte side so I really do like mixing these two together and then you get just a beautiful look across your cheeks I'm gonna show you that as well because this is really pretty and I don't have a ton of blush on today I do have some but I don't have a ton and this is just so look it's just so saturated oh my gosh it is so pretty and just absolutely gorgeous and wow it is it's beautiful I love the hot pink I think that it's a color that just about anybody could wear unless you have really really warm undertone but I really like that and then these highlighters are like the ones that they have in those little pants that are the round pants and they are every bit as you know just gorgeous glow as the makeup revolution was only I think I like this a little bit more as far as the actual formula it's a little bit softer there's you know it's not very powdery at all it's just beautiful and of course we can put more glow on when could we not put more glow on that we don't love the glow just beautiful compact love that this is the new air volume mega mascara from L'Oreal I this may be my new favorite mascara ever because I have it on today it makes your lashes so big so long it really gives that volume that you need it's very very soft you know how some drugstore mascaras can be a little bit crunchy it feels so soft to me and that's what I love about it and I've used it on the bottom lashes today so far no smudging nothing like that and when I take it off at night yes Oliver when I take it off at night what happens is I can take it off so easily because I usually use waterproof and it takes a little bit more I take this off so easily because it's it's washable and I really love that about it love how easy it comes off but I love that it doesn't flake after 14 plus hours I just think that's great city beauty sent me a huge PR package I mean it was big you guys and I was just blown away that I got anything like that but I'll tell you right now that the two I mean there was a lot of skincare in there so it takes me a while to make an opinion about skincare this isn't cheap skincare it's really quite expensive but the city lips are it's a gloss formula and it makes your pout looks so pretty the other thing that is wonderful about it you can smell the vitamins in this you know how when you open up a vitamin bottle like your multivitamins you smell vitamins that's almost what it smells like it's not a bad smell because it does have a little bit of vanilla and it's not a bad smell but I can definitely tell that it has those lip-loving ingredients in it and the other thing is this last holy Moses if you put this on at night before you go to bed you're going to have a moisture on your lips still in the morning and that's saying a lot I'm a mouth breather and I also drink during the night so it definitely saying a lot for me to say that this is gonna be on in the morning it seems like my lip wrinkles are being diminished don't know whether it's the light therapy that I'm using that I talked about a minute ago or whether it's this but between the two I feel like my vertical lines that are on my lips are really being diminished so really enjoying that one and then the other one that I'm loving so much this is their skin perfecting daily veil it is a primer and it also has a little bit of hydration in it and it also has a sunscreen of 39 in it first of all this has a great consistency so it's almost like a thick moisturizer so you don't really feel that dimethicone until you start moving it around and then you can see that it's got that skin perfecting in it so it has that little bit of dimethicone in it but I feel the hydration in it and I can also see that there's just a little bit of glowing particles in there can you see that it's so pretty I am in love with this stuff I know that it's again not cheap but you know what I do love about City Beauty is that they have sales all the time so get on their mailing list just love this stuff and think that it's one that I'm going to really love over and over again I also wanted to mention another PR product I got this is from Lily silk and these are silk pillowcases they sent me two of them and I kept one in the box so you guys could see how beautifully they package this do you have somebody in your life that you have a hard time finding gifts for this is a good thing because every woman that I know wants to save her skin she wants to save her hair she wants to look beautiful this helps your hair not be frizzy I have noticed such a big difference in the health of my hair since I've been using these for about six weeks or so and I love them they're beautifully packaged like I said it comes in this gorgeous package gold on the back and then the packaging right here and then when you take it off it's packaged just like you would package a fine scarf or something and then the pillowcase comes out now this is a king size one this is their gray which I thought was so pretty of course they didn't have purple or I would have gotten purple so pretty I love these they feel so soft on the skin they're soft in your hair you don't have any sort of tug on your hair or on your skin at night when you're laying on them and they wash up like a dream this is a brand-new one out of the package but I do have my other one that I've washed like crazy wanted to save this one so you guys can see how beautiful they were packaged and how they came out of the package so nice they don't have the actual zipper I don't like a zipper on my pillow I don't know why maybe it's because when they're zipped in I can't move manipulate my pillow enough and these do have the envelope where they just you know fold over onto themselves so I do like that about it so wanted to make sure that I told you about that they did send me those but I've been in love with them cannot believe that I took this long to find out about those because everybody talks about them all right the last thing is hair care this brush right here you guys have probably noticed my hair I'm wearing a little bit straighter but it looks so much healthier and a couple things I'm using this is the living proof perfect day nightcap you can put this on your hair as a mask at night run it through your hair comb it through or brush wet brush it through whichever you decide and then when you wash your hair in the morning your hair is so soft I cannot believe how beautiful this is and I've had this for about a month I'm about down to here because I use it every single time and I do have you know longer hair so it takes a little bit more to coat it I do it about midway and then I go clear to the ends and make sure that I really soak those ends so that doing its thing overnight and it's really helping a lot so I'm in love with that and I also found from living proof the perfect hair day 5-in-1 styling treatment this is really good for leaving your hair soft and shiny and detangles and it's a heat protectant and it's a styler so I do love both of those from living proof they've been really good but this brush you guys this brush is awesome so it's a round brush but it has the vent right there and I love that I can my hair's long it's huge which is nice but I love that I can you know get this clear down into my scalp with this brush and that I can lift my roots and really you know dry those roots and that's really been my problem all along is that I have not had enough volume in my roots because my hair is super fine and super limp and that's just been a problem for me all along but wow I am in love with this brush and I think it's such a good one and I have loved how shiny my hair has been after using this and I'm really wonderful for its venting that it doesn't get too hot on my hair I love the bristles are longer I have longer hair I love that about it it catches which is great but it doesn't tug be careful that you don't pull your wet hair you don't want to have a really pull your wet hair hard you'll stretch that strand and it will become brittle so make sure you don't do that but this has really made a difference in how shiny my hair is how much more volume it has in it and I just have really been loving this and been able to do a blowout where I've never been able to do a blowout before so that's it for today's video I hope that you did enjoy seeing September's favorite is there anything in the month of September that you have gotten that you've just been like I love this this is great you saw what I found I'd love
