I know I have been slacking a lot and even though I've been home it seems like I was just "resting" and not putting in much work. September went by so fast!! It was great and I'm glad to be home! It was so great to come home to family and all my beauty products and my new pens and highlighters!

I had so many faves this past month especially since I started using new products and finding new loves.

Shop My September faves

BT ARTBOX 600PCS COFFIN/BALLERINA NAILS

One thing I really enjoyed last month and in august was fixing my nails. We are not allowed to paint our nails, let alone fix them so while I'm not in school I decided to get some press on nails instead of going to the nail salon (medium-sized so I can type!, I first got them extra long and I was basically useless). And now painting my nails is a fun experience (I had forgotten how relaxing it was to do this).

ZOYA NAKED MANICURE HYDRATING AND HEALING DRY SKIN KIT

I got the Zoya Naked Manicure Hydrate & Heal Kit as a Christmas gift from my bestie and didn't really get to use it until this fall and I love how moisturizing it is. The serum and lotion leave my hands so soft and it smells nice too!

MAMONDE ROSE WATER GEL CREAM

I love rose-scented products so when I got this I fell in love. It smells nice, looks pretty, and is moisturizing for my combination skin.

A'PIEU GLYCOLIC ACID CREAM
A mild chemical exfoliant that I love using on nights when I just clean my face with micellar water cause I’m too tired to do the whole routine. It has replaced my fab five! Also, it has Salicylic acid in it which helps with breakouts.

PURITO CENTELLA GREEN LEVEL SAFE SUN SPF50+ PA++++

I heard about Purito from youtube and was curious but never purchased it. Then I got almost like 10 samples of it from my 2020 Roseroseshop order and I loved that even with fragrance it didn't burn my eyes and works well on my skin! I had to repurchase a full size. There is also an unscented version. And a physical sunscreen version.

MUJI SENSITIVE SKIN LOTION HIGH MOISTURIZING
This has been one of my favorite gentle, moisturizing toners since I started adding multiple toning to my routine. It's gentle, unscented, and leaves my skin moisturized.

COSRX BALANCIUM CERAMIDE CREAM

Another sample that I loved using. It's thick and balmy and I loved that it kept my skin moisturized on nights that I used retinol serums.

ROSE HAND SANITIZER

Another rose-scented product. I need to go back to Melcom when I return to Ghana and purchase multiple tubes of this sanitizer! I love the scent and it does not dry my hands out after using it.

ROSEBUD PERFUME CO. LIP BALM STRAWBERRY

Omg, this lip balm smells so yummy. Balmy and moisturizing, perfect for fall.

I changed my nail polish so often but kept coming back to these 5 as faves. I need to buy more etude house nail polishes. They are nice and thick and only need two coats and dry pretty fast!
