Favorites: October 2012

Colder weather, paler skin, and nights spent doing face masks while staying in to study sums up my October. I had to change my foundation and adjust my skincare for the new climate. Cold nights in Colorado means blasting the heater and trying to manage dry patches. I sound so exciting.

Don't forget to watch my favorites video to see descriptions of all the products.
