I love the fall, and September especially -- it just happens to be my birthday month. :) I'm turning 28 this year (I can't believe it!) and my mama is coming to visit to celebrate with me. I love spending time with my mom, so I'm really looking forward to seeing her. It's also my parents' 40th wedding anniversary on October 2nd, and they decided to spend it here (Dad will coming towards the end of the visit). My brother and his girlfriend will be coming down for a few days as well. I love when my family gets together. I'm psyched for them to meet Sammy & Mouse, too! :)
Anyways, I've been taking photos over the past few weeks of the stuff I've bought, so I thought I'd share them with you!
Dolce & Gabbana Cinnamon
Tom Ford Nude Vanille
Topshop Pillow Talk
Sephora Lip Attitude Glamour G19
(scroll to the bottom of the post for lip swatches)
I had to put these at the top of the post, because I loveloveLOVE them! All of these, aside from the Sephora one which I tried on in-store first, were blind online purchases. Sometimes that can turn out badly, but not this time! All of these lipsticks are likely to become favorites in my collection. I will say, though, that I was disappointed that when I received Tom Ford Nude Vanille; it broke the first time I applied it. It had melted during shipment, despite its sturdy case. :\ I'm going to exchange it, but I hope the same thing doesn't happen again (no stores near me have it in stock, so I have to do a mail-in return). *crosses fingers*

A FOTD using this palette will be up shortly - I wore it today and I love it just as much as I anticipated! :)
Moroccanoil Light
YSL Touche Eclat (#1 Luminous Radiance)
My original Moroccanoil bottle ran out recently, and I'd been using the Pureology serum in its place. However, the other day I found the Moroccanoil bottle still in my cabinet, and managed to get some product out. I'd forgotten how seriously amazing it is! It's pricey, which is why I didn't rush out to repurchase, but believe me, it is worth every penny! This time I picked the Light version, and I'm really happy with it!
The Touche Eclat is another HG product for me. I'd been using the Garnier Anti-Dark Circle roller, but my eyes had been watering more than usual, and I wondered if I was sensitive to it. Either way, I was really missing that satisfying click of the Touche Eclat pen, and finally gave into the urge to splurge! I don't regret it one bit. ;) And it didn't hurt that the SA threw in this adorable pouch as a freebie. :)
