Happy September! I don't know about all of you, but I'm very much ready for the fall.
In August, I didn't purchase very many new beauty products but I did find a lot of other odds and ends, mostly school related, that I'm loving.
Beauty Products
• Burt's & Bees Intense Hydration Night Cream with Clary Sage
My skin has been looking a little dull lately. I've been using masks weekly but decided I should probably add a night cream to my skincare routine. I had multiple coupons at CVS and didn't really know what to purchase, this was an impulse purchase I actually didn't return. It's like a drink of cold water for your face; I can actually feel this sinking into my skin and working before bed.
MakeupByTiffanyD swore this was a dupe for Armani Eyes to Kill Mascara, I've never tried that mascara so I can't agree or disagree. However, this is definitely my new favorite drugstore mascara; it really separates and lengths your lashes.
• Neutrogena Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover
When it comes to most skincare, I've been a high-end snob the past few years. I've been loving the Neutrogena Night Calming Wipes for a long time now. I spotted this remover on sale at Target for $4.00 and decided it was worth a try. This actually works better than my beloved Clinique Take the Day Off Eye Makeup Remover.
• OPI Nail Lacquer in German-icure by OPI
I purchased this the day the Germany collection hit stores and it's the only polish I've worn all month. It's a vampy brownish red with shimmer color, so pretty and perfect for fall! I hope to purchase a few other colors from this collection.
Random
• Aladdin Chill Snack Pack
Unless my classes get out early, I don't really have a lunch break. In the past years, I'd usually just throw a few snacks into my backpack and eat those. The majority of the snacks were ridiculously unhealthy. I didn't want to carry around a lunchbox and nothing is worse than warm fruit in a Ziploc back. I found this little invention on sale at Target (under $3.00.) It's a small Tupperware that has a thin (removable) icepack which snaps into the lid. It's easy to throw this into your backpack and enjoy cool, crisp fruit in class. (The only con: the Tupperware isn't sweat-proof.)
• Baggu reusable bags
I've been eying these bags for awhile. When my co-worker showed up with one at work I decided it was finally time to purchase them. (Helpful Hint: look on eBay for out of stock colors and lower prices than baggubag.com.) Though I don't actually use them at the grocery store, I do use them just to tote random stuff around, mostly to the post office and work.
• Sharpie Colored Pens
I was so happy to see an end cap full of colored Sharpie pens at most stores earlier this month. I've used Sharpie black pens for almost three years; they write so smooth. I did limit myself to just a few colors since I had so many black ones, but I'm so glad Sharpie finally started producing bright colors.
