I love December. It is probably my favorite month of the year. The holiday season, the winter weather, sweaters, boots, and the coziness are all reasons. My wedding anniversary and the anniversary of first meeting my husband are also in December so that makes it extra special to me. It's a time of reflection and a time of preparation for the new year ahead. The lights, the warmth, and love you feel, it isn't the same any other time of the year. So besides December being a favorite of mine, here are some of my other favorites from last month! What were yours?

These are the types of posts I love to see when reading blogs or watching YouTube videos so I thought I would start my own. Please leave your favorites in the comments below. I love hearing about different products and trying them out!

It's been a while since I posted about a Friday fave and this week, it's a long time love of mine. I find myself always going back to this product.

BareMineral's Original Foundation is a powder. It's light textured but offers a great amount of coverage if needed. It's definitely buildable. When I use this as my foundation I like to apply my face moisturizer, my Garnier BB Cream, and then this powder. It gives my complexion a super flawless finish but doesn't look cakey in any way.

I never find myself breaking out from this formula and I love that the original formulation has the glowy minerals in it. They aren't necessarily glitter but more of a super super fine "shimmer" but that might not even be the right word. The finish is glowy and never flat. I love the finish. They have a matte formula as well but for my drier skin the original is perfect. But it all depends on if you like a little shine or you prefer matte. The shade I use is fairly light.
