Sona Selects September Edition

Beauty, sona selects
Sona Selects September Edition

This past month I found so many new holy grail products that I haven’t been able to stop using! I can’t stop raving about these products and with how much I’ve been talking about them on the blog and my channel, it’s no surprise that they’re my favorite! In addition to beauty, I also have a few fashion favorites which I’ve decided to include in this month’s edition of Sona Selects. If you’re a new reader to the blog, Sona Selects is a collection of the best beauty (and now fashion) products I’ve used in the past month. I also have a series on my channel to go along with this post, so be sure to check out the video below.

1. Erborian CC Cream Hd Radiance Skin Perfector ($44)

If you’re subscribed to my channel, you’d know that I tried out the Erborian CC Cream for a video this past month, and I’ve been obsessed since! This product only comes in two shades (I have it in regular), but it has color matching pigments that adjust to your perfect shade, so it works for a variety of skin tones. When I first saw that there were only two shades I was super skeptical, but the CC Cream really does adapt to your skin color! I also have dry skin, so a hydrating product like this is perfect for everyday wear. I seriously can’t stop using this CC cream, it’s definitely my favorite face product right now!

 

2. Too Faced Born This Way Naturally Radiant Concealer ($28)

The Too Faced Born This Way Naturally Radiant Concealer has been my absolute favorite concealer for the month of September! It’s infused with coconut water, which is so hydrating on my dry skin (I have the shade light medium). Finding a concealer that has good coverage but isn’t too drying for my under eyes can be tricky, but this concealer has a natural finish and makes my skin look healthy and dewy! I haven’t had any problems with it creasing and it’s seriously so comfortable under the eyes for all day wear. 

 

3. La Mer Sheer Pressed Powder ($95)

Recently I went to an event at the La Mer house in Beverly Hills where I got to learn all about this new product and sit in on a master class with celebrity makeup artists Patrick Ta and Mary Phillips. It was such an amazing experience. You guys know how much I love the La Mer Loose Translucent Powder, so I had super high hopes for this product. It’s exceeded my expectations and I’ve used it everyday since I first tried it! I love that it’s compact, because it makes it so much easier to carry in my bag and take on the go. It’s also infused with raw ocean clay and La Mer’s Miracle Broth which work like magic, and totally blur any imperfections. This pressed powder is so amazing and leaves the skin looking smooth and flawless. This powder has definitely become a holy grail product in my collection.

4. Lancome Monsieur Big Mascara ($25)

This Lancome Monsieur Big Mascara really changed the game for me! It makes my natural lashes look like falsies, it’s absolutely unreal! This mascara provides so much volume and length to your lashes, and it doesn’t flake after a long day. It really makes your eyes look bold and stand out! The formula doesn’t clump even when you apply multiple layers. This is seriously such a great mascara!

5. Bobbi Brown Extra Lip Tint ($34)

The Bobbi Brown Extra Lip Tint is perfect if you’re looking for a hydrating balm with a sheer tint. I have the shade Bare Pink, and I am seriously obsessed with it! It adds just enough color to the lips when I’m not in the mood to deal with wearing lipstick. However, sometimes when I am wearing lipstick, I will apply it over top to add shine. I cannot say enough good things about this product, and since I started using it it’s become my absolute favorite lip balm!

6. Dior Miss Dior Perfume ($94)

Typically, when I think about Fall scents my mind doesn’t wander to florals, but the Dior Miss Dior Perfume is definitely an exception. It has a warm, floral smell that I think suits any time of year. It’s such a romantic fragrance made up of bergamot, Grasse rose, and rosewood that’s definitely light enough for everyday wear. I literally haven’t touched any other perfume this month, it smells so amazing!

7. Gucci GG Marmont Bag ($1,790)

This handbag is one from my collection that I haven’t stopped wearing this month! It’s such a cute addition to any outfit and is the perfect size to carry around on a daily basis. I have it in black, so it matches basically all of my clothes! This handbag looks so classic and is an easy way to dress up any casual outfit. I’ve linked a few affordable dupes below if you’re wanting the same look without having to spend a ton! 

Sona Gasparian's favorite beauty products september 2017P.S. I have been so obsessed with hats lately! I feel like they add so much to an outfit, and they’re perfect for lazy hair days. ;)

 

I hope you guys enjoyed September’s edition of Sona Selects. Make sure to watch the video on my channel. Leave a comment below letting me know if you’d like me to continue including my monthly fashion favorites!

    I am going to try the CC cream, since I seen it in the video I was interested. I usually use a tinted moisturizer but lately the product I use leaves my skin looking and feeling dry. I definitely will be trying this out. Always look forward to your Sona Selects! ???

    • ReplySimply SonaOctober 9, 2017 at 5:42 pm

      You definitely should try it out. It’s amazing!

  • ReplySarahOctober 9, 2017 at 5:03 pm

    Omg your raved about the eborian cream made me want it, I finally found a store that sells them in the UK and I’m getting it soon ?? Btw your hat looks so cute and I’m dying to try the new la mer powder ? I also wanted to ask which products you use to keep your lips hydrated throughout the day during fall. My lips get super dry after a few hours of makeup in the cold and as much as i moisturise my lips it just isnt doing the job ? Have a lovely trip, cant wait to find out where you’re visiting! X

    • ReplySimply SonaOctober 9, 2017 at 5:41 pm

      I typically use the Bobbi Brown Extra Lip Tint or the Glossier Balm Dotcom in Rose to keep my lips from getting chapped. Thank you love!

  • ReplyAyeshehOctober 9, 2017 at 6:16 pm

    Yessss I love your fashion choices so keep including them!! Especially when you always link affordable dupes! If you love the concealer you should try the primer! It is so hydrating and smells amazing ?❤️ have fun on your trip!!!!

    • ReplySimply SonaOctober 10, 2017 at 10:04 am

      Thank you babe! I’ll have to try it.

  • ReplyArianaOctober 9, 2017 at 6:59 pm

  • ReplyOlivia GarciaOctober 9, 2017 at 7:57 pm

    I am so excited to try the CC cream. You and a few others have recommended it and I cannot wait to try it. By the way you’re rocking the french look! I love it.

    • ReplySimply SonaOctober 10, 2017 at 10:03 am

      Thanks love!!

  • ReplySeda KhalulyanOctober 9, 2017 at 8:15 pm

    I absolutely love the Born This Way concealer and the Lancome Monsieur Big Mascara. I have really dry skin and this concealer just works so well without making my under eyes look patchy. For the mascara, I can’t even explain how much I love it. It makes my lashes looked so volumized and dramatic which is what I always look for in a mascara. I recommend both these products to everyone.

    • ReplySimply SonaOctober 10, 2017 at 10:03 am

      Yay! I’m so glad you like both because I can’t stop using them.

  • ReplyLusine NaljayanOctober 9, 2017 at 9:17 pm

    I love your hat and pink suits you very well Sona!! Love all the products specially the Dior perfume;)

    • ReplySimply SonaOctober 10, 2017 at 10:02 am

      It has such a great scent!

  • ReplyErika HernandezOctober 9, 2017 at 10:05 pm

    I will definitely try the mascara because I love how the brush looks! I will also try the Cc cream because I need something like that especially because I have acne scars hopefully it makes the acne scars less noticeable. I love your hair!

    • ReplySimply SonaOctober 16, 2017 at 3:09 pm

      The CC cream will work wonders! I love it and it’s made to be good for the skin and help improve it’s appearance. Thanks babe.

  • ReplyRadhika HisariaOctober 9, 2017 at 10:51 pm

    The miss Dior is my favourite too! Also, would you say the too faced concealer is better than the nars radiant creamy concealer?
    Lots of love xx #snapfam

    • ReplySimply SonaOctober 16, 2017 at 3:10 pm

      I love both, but I probably would prefer NARS over the Too Faced.

  • ReplyMikaelaOctober 9, 2017 at 11:27 pm

    This is actually my fave of the month. Like I mentioned earlier, I really enjoy discovering new products this way. I got so many products that you’ve recommended, I trust you ??

    Your selects each month are always so great! I’ve been in love with the Dior perfume for years! I live in a tropical weather country, so I get away with using it year-round, but it’s different enough that I could see my self wearing it in cold weather too. I’m intrigued by the Lancome mascara… I’ll have to try it out soon!
    Thanks for the post and video. Have a great week. #24hrclub

    Hi Sons.. . Love your blog and you tube posts. You mentioned a Maybelline lip product at the end of your September favourites post but it wasn’t listed anywhere. May I ask you to repeat. Ta! Your makeup videos are inspirational and I find your insights in all things makeup very informative. You are truly very talented.

    • ReplySimply SonaOctober 10, 2017 at 10:07 am

      It’s the Maybelline Vivid Hot Lip Lacquer in 64!

    Aloha Sona,

    What shade of concealer did you use?

    • ReplySimply SonaOctober 12, 2017 at 10:14 am

      Light medium.

  • ReplyMarisol VelazquezOctober 16, 2017 at 10:14 pm

    I am so excited to try the new La Mer powder! I just don’t know what shade would be best for me. I am not sure if the medium shade would be too dark or if I should do light or translucent?

    • ReplySimply SonaOctober 17, 2017 at 1:52 pm

      I have the shade light because I mainly focus on setting the middle of my face where light tends to hit. Otherwise I would probably be medium. If you’re unsure about what shade you are definitely try it out at a La Mer counter or Sephora.
