REESE RAVES – September

Oh my goodness, September has flown by! I celebrated a birthday earlier this month, paid off all my debt, became a beach bum AND vegetarian. A lot has changed this month and here are the things I loved…

REESE RAVES – September
Mecca Cosmetica’s De-Luscious SPF 25 Lip Balm, $28.00 (12g)
This lip balm was definitely an impulse purchase and I have to admit I have a terrible habit of sampling a product, instantly falling in love and not bothering to check how much it is. I didn’t even realize how much I paid til I got it home and looked at the receipt. However, having said that, I have absolutely no regrets. This lip balm is simply amazing! I featured this last week in my new favourite post, and I’ve been addicted all month.

KORA Organics’ Enriched Body Lotion, $49.95 (150mL)
I recently rediscovered this when I was shopping my own stash earlier in the month. How on EARTH did I forget I had this product?! Since we’re heading into the warmer seasons I really need a light but still hydrating body lotion; something that’s not going to make my skin feel sticky or heavy and this lotion delivers what I need.

M.A.C’s ‘Chatterbox’ Amplified Creme lipstick, $36.00
This is has been the lipstick I’ve reached for the most. Although my signature lipstick color has always been a bright fuchsia colour, this month I toned it down a little. I wore this with a rich rose pink lip liner and blended them together and it worked out really well, giving my lips a lot of depth and something slightly different from “the norm”.

Aesop Rind Concentrate Body Balm, $37.00 (120mL)
Again, this is a product I rediscovered earlier in the month. Although it’s a body balm, I only use this on my hands because it’s light and non-greasy, especially in the Summer. Because of all the hand gel at work, my hands are constantly dry and no matter how much I reapply my paws really suffer from drying out. However, this has been helping me get through to the weekend when I can get myself to The Nail Lab to get a manicure.

Suvana Organics Pawpaw & Honey balm, $7.95 (25g)
I was a loyal Lucus’ fan for YEARS, til I discovered this! It’s replaced Lucus’ and has been my handbag staple for MONTHS now. This is actually my third tube. Although this product isn’t new to me, I have been using it a lot in the month of September. I apply this just before bed at night and in the morning, my lips are silky soft and smooth.
