Happy first day of Fall!! In honor of today's date I will be sharing my top ten favorite things about this new season :)




1. Pumpkin everything. I love Pumpkin Spice Lattes and pumpkin pie with whipped cream on top! 


2. Halloween. If dressing up in costumes was acceptable throughout the year I would definitely do it but it's not so I definitely look forward to it in October.
3. Comfy clothes and boots. Shorts and tank tops are cool and all but big and warm sweaters are much more comfy. 


4. No more bugs. 


5. Thanksgiving. Good food and family time is good for the soul.

6. Cuddling. They don't call it cuddle weather for no reason.

7. Perfect weather. Not too hot, not too cold.
and...
8. It's pretty! The leaves change color and the sky always looks so pretty.

9. Netflix and Movies. When it's too chilly to go out you can just hang out at home with friends or your significant other watching movies all night.

10. Christmas is coming! The most wonderful time of the year is almost here!

This month I decided to not only get Ipsy but to sign up for Birchbox as well. Like Ipsy, it is a monthly subscription for beauty products that only costs $10 a month. I hadn't heard as many reviews for Birchbox as I had for Ipsy but I decided to give it a try.
 
The Ipsy bag contained 5 different products which are
1. NYX colaborated with Ipsy for an eyeshadow trio. This is exclusive to Ipsy subscribers and I really love the colors because they are more on the neutral side. I love to wear browns and golds so I will be using this one for sure.
2. Lipstick by Liptini in the color special edition Startlet Cocktail. It is a really nice shade of red but since I prefer matte lipsticks I don't know if I'll wear it yet.
3. Formula X nail polish in the color Ignite is a really nice deep red. I love it because the polish goes on almost like a gel and it is just a really nice color.
4. Eau Thermale Soothing Moisture Mask is for redness or overly dry skin. Although I haven't used it I am looking forward to it since I sometimes get red spots on my face.
5. Lastly, I got a Rosehip and Hibiscus moisturizer from Bayberry Naturals which is a really fresh and light facial cream. I'm normally not a huge fan of creams and moisturizers but this one is nice.


The Birchbox contains 5 products also and I was pretty impressed for it being my first time receiving this subscription.
1. The first product that caught my eye was the Benefit Cosmetics Gimme Brow in the medium/deep color. It’s a sample size brow gel with a little applicator brush. I used it twice already and like how it keeps my brow hairs in place but I don’t think this is sufficient to make my eyebrows look the way I want them to. ip
2. Amika Shield Style Extending Spray is a spray that protects your hair against frizz and extreme heat. This is perfect for using it when traveling and the best thing about it is that is smells sooo good !
3. Dr. Brandt Pores no more cleanser is a best-selling face wash that is supposed to minimize pores in order to get that soft, smooth skin. I haven’t used it yet but I don’t think the size of the bottle is enough to fully make a judgement on it.
4. Harvey Prince has a perfume called Eau So Divine. It’s a good scent but I am just not very fond of perfume samples.
5. Last was the POP Beauty - POP Portfolio Eyeshadow in the shade Sugar Plum. It is a really nice and pigmented color palette and I know I will be using it for sure.

 September was a really great month for Ipsy and although I did like Birchbox I think that Ipsy was the winner in my book. If you are wondering whether or not to subscribe to Ipsy or Birchbox I say go for it. It is only $10 a month and you can cancel whenever. Even if you don't always like everything that comes in the box/bag it is still worth the ten dollars and it's pretty fun to receive this each month.

Which was your favorite subscription this month?

 So since I am pretty new to the "blogosphere" I have decided to create this list so that you can learn a little bit about me.

 1. I love to cook! This can be due to the fact that I love eating even more but the thought of learning a new recipe and sharing it with friends or family makes me happy.

 2. I hate to clean. No, that doesn't mean I am dirty it just means I despise having to clean my room or my bathroom. I really wish that I could pay a housekeeper to clean my house biweekly but since that isn't in my budget right now I guess I'll stick to half ass cleaning my house.

 3. I like a very wide variety of music. I could be listening to Coldplay one minute and the next minute I could be yelling out "2 Chainz!". It really all depends on my mood.

 4. I'm extremely independent. I have always been used to doing things on my own since a very young age so sometimes I don't ask for help when I need it.

 5. I am veryyy opinionated. Doesn't mean I will always voice my opinion but if someone asks me for my opinion then I'll definitely tell them what I think.

 6. I love to read! People look at me funny when I say that and I'm not sure whether it's because reading isn't a "cool" thing to do or if it's because they don't picture me as a reader. Regardless I have read hundreds of books and am always open to suggestions for my next read.

 7. I am a human GPS. Well, kinda. I pay real close attention to my surroundings so that I know how to get there again or back home with out an actual GPS. The reason for this is because my mom used to tell me that it's important to pay attention in case I ever got kidnapped. LOL.

 8. I am a Latina. More specifically I am Mexican American and I am very much fluent in Spanglish. I think I speak and write in both Spanish and English with out even realizing it.

 9. I am really bossy. I think that kind of goes along with me being a Latina lol. I really do think that things should be done my way or no way at all. (I am currently working on fixing that)

 10. I consider myself good at giving life advice. I've been through a lot of crazy events and experiences and would love to connect to people that have gone through similar situations.

 I'm not that bad am I? If you want to know anything else about me make sure to comment below!

1. The first product is the Hikari lipgloss in the color Merlot. I really love this lipgloss because it's not sticky at all and the color is such a nice, dark berry tone. Although it's much darker than a color I'd use on a regular basis I still love it and think it's a great fall color.
