I might be the only person in the world who hates all things pumpkin and spice, the increasingly cold November weather – no thanks to all of the above. But…I LOVE fall darker colored makeup and cold weather skincare! Yes to all please! Here are some of the latest and greatest that I’m obsessing over this cold weather season:
{November Favorites – Beauty, Skincare, Haircare}
Epionce Skincare: Intensive nourishing cream, renewal cream and eye cream. This is the first eye cream I’ve tried and actually liked. Most of them are thin and don’t provide many visible results. This eye cream is thick (almost a butter-like consistency). I really expected this to be like other eyecreams I’ve tried but the rich consistency is so luxurious. It erases fine lines, wrinkles and gives a big glow. I apply this to my brow and underneath my eyes morning and night. After using it for 3 days (yes, only 3!) I have noticed an improvement. I use their moisturizers under makeup in the morning and at night after taking my makeup off. Epionce Skincare
Esquido Lashes:
I wear contacts and my eyes are super sensitive so I can only wear false eyelashes that are comfortable and non-irritating. Esquido lashes are soft, lightweight and made to last longer than all of the synthetic lashes out there. It takes practice letting the glue dry and getting the lashes to stick but once you get the hang of it, it’s a piece of cake! They provide a dramatic look like below or offer subtle options too on Esquido you can select your perfect pair.
Fusion Beauty Lip Glosses:
I’ve been a fan of Lip Fusion’s powerful INFATUATION glosses forever! I love the variety of pink and peachy pastel shades.
Amplifat technology ensures repeated use will continue to improve size and volume, and nine stunning shades (my favorite is the Angelic, wearing it in the eyelashes pic above) they leave you effortlessly covered when you need a chic, polished look in a flash! Lip Fusion
Bliss Cosmetics:
Bliss, known for their miracle spa products and services, recently launched a cosmetics line! Their lip balm was the first product I teued and I’m hooked!! Their “Bang! pow! balm!” refreshes lips with a sheer wash of shiny, poppy color. A customized combination of Shea Butter, Vitamin E, oils and waxes work to soften and hydrate lips to perfection. These balms are perfect to wear alone or layered under your favorite lipstick. A daily essential for me is black liquid eyeliner (I go through it like crazy) and the Bliss “on the line” definitely passes my test for staying power, precision application and bold, smudge-free color. Now I’m super excited to try their line of foundations and cream/serum blush looks really interesting Bliss Cosmetics Line
dpHUE:
I saw TONS of reviews for dpHue’s Apple Cider Vinegar rinse on Folica and had to put it to the test! For some reason when I hear vinegar, I just feel like that would strip my hair and make it dry. Totally the opposite happened! This gently cleanses my hair without stripping my hair of the natural oils. I’ve tried an ACV rinse (homemade) and it smelled horrible. This smellws amazing, washed out easily and left my hair super shiny and healthy. I use this in place of shampoo, it cleans my hair without stripping color and makes it glossy! Only problem, I ran out of it already 😦 DpHue

Nth Degree Haircare:
This next one is a total game changer. I can’t remember the last time my hair looked good, it’s overprocessed, frizzy just in really horrible shape. Nth Degree is ideal for thirsty, damaged or unresponsive hair, these potent concoctions will delicately cleanse, condition, repair, shine and finish your way to radiant, resilient, silky perfection—hair to the highest power. They totally transformed the strength of my hair and I can not say enough praise!!! My favorite product from below is their Argan Oil mask, it’s super moisturizing and the texture reminds me of vanilla pudding, it’s the only hair mask I will use from now on: Nth Degree
Kerstin Florian Skincare:
Eucalyptus is one of my favorite scents so when I found Kerstin Florian’s Eucalyptus Bath Oil, I knew it had to be amazing! I’ve been getting colds a lot lately due to stress/not taking vitamins and spa products are usually the best way to re-energize and take care of yourself. The herbal bath below has energizing Eucalyptus and Pine to help soothe aching muscles and joints. It helps me to breathe easier as the refreshing blend of oils helps ease symptoms of congestion and cold. Eucalyptus eases respiration, it is Anti-fungal and Beneficial for aching muscles and joints. Pine Soothes tired muscles and joints and is Antiseptic, antibacterial, invigorating Kerstin Florian Eucalyptus Bath
Kerstin’s chamomile spray is lightweight and combines effective spa ingredients: Extract (Chamomilla Recutita) Calming, soothing, antiseptic. Beneficial for skin inflamation, super conditioning and moisturizing Chamomile Spray
Nature’s Baby Organics:
Nature’s Baby won’t make any product unless it contains at least 70% organic ingredients, while maintaining the same performance level as the leading non-organic competitors in the marketplace.
Many children and adult products in the marketplace typically contain known or suspected skin irritants. Organic and/or minimally processed ingredients often provide them with relief. Their products were specifically developed by a mother whose concern for her children’s sensitive skin triggered the creation of the company. I have really sensitive skin as the weather gets colder and I just can’t get enough of this product line! Here are my top picks:
– coconut pineapple conditioner and matching shampoo/body wash
-vanilla tangerine body wash/shampoo
Check them out on Nature’s Baby
J.R. Watkins:
I use all of J.R. Watkins cleaning products but until recently, had no idea they did a skincare line! They use high-quality handpicked ingredients that includes natural oils and extracts! My personal favorite cold-weather essential is their ultra moisturizing Grapefruit hand cream! Up to 98% of the ingredients in their Hand Creams are all natural. Their naturally crafted formula whips together shea and cocoa butters with more than 10 natural oils and extracts. This ultimate moisturizing experience was designed to protect, soothe and condition your hands, but it’s strong enough to soften up rough heels, knees and elbows too. I’m also a fan of their Vanilla body butter and castile soaps (especially the peppermint variety)
