Love List: Top 5 Beauty Must Haves For November

November for me has been all about creating a beauty routine that works for me. I have found myself super busy this month getting to know my way around my new city and adapting to the heat here in Houston so the things that worked well for me in South Carolina need a bit of updating. For me my biggest concern is making sure my skin looks great. So I have really sworn off makeup ( foundation) unless it is totally necessary. This means when I go out I need to look naturally awesome. Here are the things I have fell in love with this month that have kept me gorgeous....

Dickinsons Witch Hazel Pore Perfecting Toner does a great job of keeping my face clean. I use it after I wash my face to remove any residue, after a workout to wipe away sweat or any time I want a quick cleanse. I brought my bottle from Walgreens for about $5 bucks.

Rose bud Salve, oh how I love thee. I never leave the house with out it. It is extremely moisturizing and gives the lips a nice rosy tint. Also great for layering under lip gloss or lipstick. I picked up this at Bath and Body Works for  about $5.00.





This cucumber and aloe mist is perfect for a pick me up after a long day, or hours of traveling. I like to spray it to give my skin a refresher if I am going from work to dinner or something special. I found this product at target for $1 buck.




NYX lipgloss in any shade is amazing. I have the Queen of Africa a really deep purple color and Natural Pink, which is exactly what the name claims it to be. These glosses are very moisturizing, they glide on the lips easily. The color is amazing. They are very pigmented. For those of you who love the true color of lipsticks and the softness of a gloss this gloss is for you. I found this product at my local beauty supply store for...wait for it....$1.99. Bam! I will be purchasing more colors and will definitely write about it.

Cetaphil Moisturizer is a life saver.  Although my skin is oily it is sensitive. I have to be careful that the products that I use on my skin do not irritate it or clog my pores which cause me to break out. Cetaphil moisturizes and protects without clogging or irritating my skin. I have been using this product for a while and do not see myself switching to anything else. If you are looking for something mild yet moisturizing this is it. I usually buy this product from target for $11.99.



I am finding that being naturally beautiful is far better than piling on tons of makeup. Now do not get me wrong I love make up. It allows me to switch up my look and enhance the beauty I already have, but when I wipe it all away I still want to be breathe taking....
