Favorite of the Month: The Hero of Ages, hands down. This book will probably end up being one of my favorites of the year. If you've read my review, you already know how intensely I fangirled over it.
Beauty
I've surprisingly cut down on buying new beauty products for the last couple of months, but matte lipsticks are always a favorite when fall comes around. Even though they can be a little high maintenance, I've found these lipsticks to be the exception.
Maybelline Color Sensational Creamy Matte Lipstick in Nude Nuance*
and Lust for Blush*

Lust for Blush |
 |
| Nude Nuance |
Don't be fooled by the name; Nude Nuance is a bold, brown nude that goes well with any look. Lust for Blush is a a fun pink that's subtle enough for work or school.
Revlon Matte Lipstick in Mauve it Over

In my opinion, the name of this lipstick is misleading. Mauve it Over is more of the proverbial "your lips but better" nude with a slight mauve undertone. However, it's the only matte nude lipstick I've tried that doesn't look like I simply smeared concealer all over my lips, which is a major plus. Unfortunately, it was discontinued in most stores, but luckily, I was able to find it on Amazon

Lush's Lord of Misrule Bath Bomb
Lord of Misrule is a part of Lush's limited edition Halloween collection and has quickly become my second favorite bath bomb (behind Twilight, of course). Along with its crisp, spicy scent, it gradually transitions into a burgundy hue after you drop it in the tub.
As soon as I went to the Lush website to look for the picture above, I discovered that they released their Christmas collection, so be on the lookout for a few of those products in my November favorites!
Brown Sugar Allspice and Buttercream Icing Bath and Body Works Candles
Since I have a major sweet tooth, I tend to gravitate towards sweet and cozy scents that remind me of my favorite treats. The Brown Sugar Allspice candle from Bath and Body Works smells like gingerbread and all things Christmas while their Buttercream Icing Candle smells exactly like cupcakes, rainbows, and unicorns. Since I'm trying to burn through my older candles,I haven't lit them yet, but I can't wait for my entire room to be enveloped in these scents.
