September IN + OUT

September 28, 2015

September In and OutHey friends!

So a blogger friend of mine named Chelsie over at Life With Rosie Blog does this cool monthly link up called In and Out, where you talk about things that were “in” for you this month and things that were not/ “out.” It looked like fun so I thought I would join in!

So I will just jump right in to the things that were totally on my “IN” list.

IN

September In and Out

Too Faced La Creme Color Drenched Lipstick 

These are my ONLY purchase from Ulta’s 21 Days of Beauty sale this month. I know, I’m disappointed too. But um, I love them. I know that matte lips are all the rage right now, but sometimes I just want some MOISTURE. These babies are practically some kind of chapstick, while being gorgeous at the same time. I got a nude shade called “Nude Beach” and a great fall shade called “Bumbleberry” (yes, I totally bought it because it’s called bumble berry.) I seriously love them, I wish I would have bought them all while they were half off at Ulta!!

September In and Out

Morphe Brushes

September In and Out

Morphe was on Hautelook in August (and again last week) and I finally got to really use the brushes that I purchased. I am SO impressed. For the price, they are amazeballs. Maybe not even just for the price, probably just amazeballs in general. Jaclyn Hill wasn’t lying.

I only bought 4 brushes, just to try them, and if they’re ever on Hautelook again, I WILL be buying more. They are so soft, they blend awesomely, and there’s basically no shedding. Just stop what you’re doing and order some.

Bath and Body Works Fall Scented Candles

September In and Out

Duh. They’re pretty much all amazing, they go on sale like every other week, and there is something for everybody. Yankee Candles are the bomb too, but like, a much more expensive bomb. I love that I can get these things for $12 on sale and B+BW usually has some kind of coupon in my mailbox as well.

Also IN for September; beating my best 5k time, nailing my Senior project presentation, Morphe on Hautelook again, and the girls at the Dunkin Donuts in Fort Myers – they always make my coffee the BEST and their customer service is Publix-worthy.

So that leads us to the “OUT” list.

OUT

Ultra Brush + Sponge Cleaner

September In and Out

I bought this on a whim at Ulta. It smells weird, I have to use like A TON of it to get my brushes clean, and did I mention it smells weird? Who wants to rub smelly brushes on their face? This was definitely out. I’ve legitimately been using my hand soap instead. Whoops.

Florida Weather

September In and Out

It’s still in the 90’s on the regular here. Some Floridians will brag about it, “hashtag I live where you vacation,” BUT I am basically depressed September-January of ever year here.  I miss seasons SOOOO bad! Especially the good ones, like Autumn and Winter at Christmas time. Illinois is calling me home. 😉 Although, I won’t be complaining when I go to the beach later today…Now I’m confused.

Also OUT for September; stupid malfunctioning iPhone software, sinus infections, Starbucks PSLs cost almost $6 for a venti thanks to the “real pumpkin.”

What was IN for you this month?! Make sure to link up with everyone over on Life With Rosie!

    Yes! I am so glad you linked up! I love In & Out lists! And I’m glad you reviewed some products that I’ve been wanting to try (like the Too Faced lipstick)! I didn’t get any deals off the 21 days at Ulta (moving problems) but I did just order a butt ton of brushes off of Hautelook from morphe, so I am pumped!

    I am going to have start ordering some of this stuff online – you guys are driving me crazy with the great products. Except maybe the weird smelling brush cleaner…think I’ll give that a miss. Great post, thanks.

    • Amanda Rinehart says

      September 30, 2015 at 9:59 pm

      haha! Yes, I would definitely recommend passing on the smelly brush cleaner. 😉 Trying out new makeup becomes some kind of crazy addiction, I swear! It IS fun though. Thanks for reading Angelique! (Your name is super cool.)

    Love this post–so cute and personal. I agree with your assesment of the Too Faced Le Creme lipsticks–I have a ton of them!

    • Amanda Rinehart says

      September 30, 2015 at 9:58 pm

      Thank you! I thought it was a fun idea. And the lipsticks are the bomb.com! I need more of them in my life. Thanks for reading.

    Those lipsticks sound fantastic! I have been using Burt’s Bees lip shades recently, because my lips run dry normally and I can’t take anything that dries them out further. I’ll definitely have to check this out 🙂

    • Amanda Rinehart says

      September 30, 2015 at 9:57 pm

      My lips are super dry too, and I think they’re great! You should totally try them if you get a chance!

    I just ordered four B&BW fall scented candles. I love them.

    I also hope PSLs make it back on the “in list”.

    Great post.

    • Amanda Rinehart says

      September 30, 2015 at 9:56 pm

      I burn through the seasonal candles from B&BW! (Pun intended) And PSLs are still delicious, I’m just not making JayZ money at this point in my life. haha!

    This post is a good idea. I’d have to take notes through the month though or I’d never remember what I wanted In or Out!

    • Amanda Rinehart says

      September 30, 2015 at 9:55 pm

      haha! I think you would remember if you made it a point to try new things out! You should try next month and let me know. 🙂

    We don’t have a Starbucks in town (but we have 3 Tim Hortons #canadian) so I usually drink 1-2 PSL a year only. I’m not complaning since they are so expensive!

    • Amanda Rinehart says

      September 30, 2015 at 9:54 pm

      You’re Canadian?! Awesome! #freehealthcare! Ive not heard of Tim Hortons is that like your Starbucks? Im totally with you, 1-2 is ALL I can afford. lol

      • Emilie says

        October 1, 2015 at 8:36 am

        It’s cheaper than Starbucks but it’s not as good in my opinion! I just make my coffee at home 😉

    Oh man, I don’t know if I could live in Florida-I love my Fall too much. Thanks for the tip on the brush cleaner, and I’ll have to check out your Ins! 😀

    • Amanda Rinehart says

      September 30, 2015 at 9:53 pm

      Living in Florida has its perks… but it definitely has its drawbacks, and unfortunately no seasons is one of them. Our “winter” weather is similar to northern Fall, sans beautiful leaves and smells. :/ And let me know if you try anything out! 🙂

    I still have B+BW candles from last fall lol! But I just like having them all year! Also, I get how you feel about the weather! I live in Los Angeles and it’s still in the high 90s here. I just want brisker evenings so I can cuddle up with my guy, my dog and a good book…plus I want to wear my sweaters!!
