Christmas is less than three weeks away and I’m so excited! I know I haven’t stopped saying it, but it’s truly the best time of year. I also seriously can’t believe we only have one month left in 2017! With the year coming to an end, there are always tons of products I’ve tried that become some of my holy grail items. This past month there are so many products I’ve been obsessed with, and many of them would make great gifts for the holidays! In today’s Sona Selects November Edition post, I’m showing you the top beauty tools and products I’ve been using this past month. If you’re a new reader to the blog, Sona Selects is a collection of the best beauty products I’m currently loving. These are all of the products I haven’t been able to stop using and raving about on the blog and my channel for the past month.
1. FLYMEI Portable Handheld High Frequency Facial Machine ($29.69)
This is one of the most odd skincare tools I’ve ever used, but it totally works! This handheld facial machine is absolutely amazing if you’re prone to breakouts like I am. It helps kill bacteria on the spot and it’s completely painless. The FLYMEI Facial Machine helps increase treat breakouts, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and improve your skins texture! It also comes with many different attachments for treating the face and body. I’ve had way less breakouts since adding this into my skincare routine! I seriously can’t say enough good things about it.
2. NuFace Trinity Mini Facial Toning Device ($199)
The NuFace Trinity Mini Facial Toning Device is such an interesting skincare tool. I know it’s quite expensive, but it’s absolutely worth the high price tag. This device delivers short micro-currents into the skin that help improve your facial contour, tone, and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Most of the time (because I’m too lazy to put the gel on and wash it off) I don’t even turn it on, I’ll just sit and run it along my jawline while watching TV. It’s so easy to use and I literally see instant results! It makes my face look slimmer and my jawline sharper. This is one pricey skincare device that in my opinion is truly worth the splurge!
3. NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer ($30)
I’ve been a huge fan of this concealer for awhile now, and recently it’s been the only concealer I reach for when I’m wearing makeup! I use the shade ‘Custard’, and it’s the perfect color to conceal any darkness under my eyes or blemishes I may have. It has such a light and soft consistency that blends beautifully on the skin! There are tons of shades available so you’re sure to find your perfect match. This product is not only great for concealing, but it’s amazing for contouring and highlighting as well.
4. Burt’s Bees Blush ($9.43)
If you didn’t know, Burt’s Bees now has an entire cosmetics line that has tons of amazing products! My absolute favorite product I’ve tried thus far is their blush in Toasted Cinnamon. It’s such a gorgeous shade for medium skin tones, and has a gorgeous finish that’s matte yet still has dimension. I also love that all natural andmade with bamboo, honey, and Vitamin E. This blush comes in two other beautiful shades, but this one is definitely my favorite.

I used Seductive on the lid and Chic in the crease from the Identity Palette to create this plum halo eye.
5. Pérsona Cosmetics Identity Palette ($32)
During the month of November, I’ve been using my Identity Palette almost every time I do my makeup! I’ve also done a few tutorials on my channel this month showing you different looks you can create with it. It’s such a great everyday palette that has every color I need to create a stunning look, day or night. If you didn’t know, it’s also now available to purchase on Ulta.com. (Linked below!) The Identity Palette is a great gift idea for the beauty lover in your life, and right now is a fantastic time to order one because it’ll arrive just in time for Christmas!
6. Maybelline Baby Lips Color Balm Crayon ($6.99)
When winter comes around my lips tend to get chapped very easily. I’ve been loving this Maybelline Baby Lips Color Balm Crayon in Toasted Taupe because it’s so hydrating and gives the lips a nice wash of color. It’s a great product to carry in your purse and it’s easy to apply without a mirror. There are also tons of different shades to choose from if nude isn’t your thing!
7. YSL Tatouage Couture Liquid Matte Lip Stain ($36)
I absolutely love this YSL lip stain because of how effortless it is! You can apply this product once, and it will stay on all day without needing touch ups. I love how long lasting this it is and it leaves such a beautiful wash of color on the lips! The YSL Tatouage Couture line has so many colors to choose from. The shade I’ve been loving is called Crazy Tangerine (2), it’s such a stunning unique orange-red shade.
8. Aerin Tangier Vanille Eau De Parfum Spray ($28-120)
This perfume is one of the best smelling fragrances of all time! It has notes of Madagascar vanilla, bergamot, Bulgarian rose, amber, sandalwood, and musk. It’s such a rich scent that’s not too sweet and not too musky. This perfume is such a great fragrance for nighttime. I’ve been finding myself reaching for this perfume every time I go out, especially in the winter, because it’s such a cozy and warm scent! Aerin has so many amazing smelling perfumes in their collection, but Tangier Vanille is definitely my absolute favorite.
I hope you guys enjoyed this month’s Sona Selects November Edition. I seriously haven’t been able to live without these products this past month! What’s your current beauty favorite?

I remember when you used the NuFace on your channel and it totally made a difference on the side you tested I was shocked on how well it worked. I also love the Maybelline lip balm crayon its so creamy and moisturized and comfy on the lips. Great post. Can’t wait to see the December post. ????

Thank you pretty!!
Will definitely have to check out that device because my skin can get insane sometimes and one break out can cause more bc of the bacteria!! So annoying but thanks for the ti! Xx
It’s such a cool beauty tool! You should definitely check it out.
Wow the Flymei facial machine looks amazing, I will for sure put it on my christmas wish list.
I have a question: which night cream would you recomend to someone who has large pores and combination skin ?

I am currently loving a old highlight I dug up, Becca opal! I am trying to clear my stash and I forgot what a great glow it gives! Also been loving mixing my foundation with the cover fx drops… As u can tell I love being dewy ???also I need to tell u because I’ve been on top of the WORLD I just passed my capstone project which means I now have my masters! Ahhh!! Anyways love you love this post ?❤️?
Congrats babe that’s so exciting!
I love the nars radiant creamy concealer of I’ve been using it for years now !
Isn’t is amazing? I love it!
Love your picks. I am Currently using a few of them. I currently have the NARS concealer in the same color but it seems to not work on me the way it does on you. Do you have any tips on picking the correct color for a concealer? If you have a video and I’ve missed it please let me know. I love the creaminess of the concealer but was thinking of switching because it seems to not cover my dark circles :( do you have any other recommendations?
You are the best!
If you need more brightening under the eyes I suggest going one shade lighter than your foundation to really highlight the area. Tarte’s Shape Tape Concealer is also another one of my favorite concealer that has a little bit higher coverage and is great for concealing darkness. Hope that helps love!
My favorite posts each month! Thanks for always sharing great picks. Have a great weekend! xxx
#24hrclub #snapchatfam
That makes me so happy. Thanks boo! xo
Please bring the Identity Pallette to the UK! Im waiting for it ? Im also picking up some Nars
makeup tomorrow, cant wait! My current beauty favourite is bronzer. I currently have so much university work on right now meaning no time for makeup! But bronzer is such a quick step and makes such a difference to my face, Hoola Bronzer is just bae for me right now ??
Bronzer is one product I never go without too! Even if I’m not wearing a ton of makeup.
I had that high frequency thing used on my face some months back. Since then I haven’t had any crazy break outs. Its great to know I can go buy it! And I love the identity palette, I could use it every day!! I’ll definitely be giving that Maybelline baby lips and blush a try! Love seeing your looks and things you are using, thanks for sharing!!
Aw I’m so happy you love the palette babe! xo
Woah, i never knew such facial tools existed. Honestly i always learn something new from your blog posts and i truly truly love it.
Also i wanted to share with you that it’s been a year(around the same time) since i discovered your blog and i never enjoyed reading blogs before. I’m truly admire your work, videos and all the hard work you do to bring quality content for your subscribers. Thank you❤️ #1yearwithsona
These tools are so amazing, I really couldn’t live without them. Aw thanks babe that means so much!!
Ahh my current and all time beauty favourite is the Persona palette ? Literally #1 fan since pre-sale! Every time I try to use another palette I end up reaching back to yours ? #snapchatfam #24hrclub #instafam #blogfam
That makes me so happy! I’m so glad you’re loving the palette.
That high frequency facial machine looks so crazy… but I am so tempted to try it just because of that. Also, I got to test out the NuFace toning device in a facial a couple of months ago, and it really does work! It’s so crazy but you can really feel your face firming up. Two of my favorite beauty items right now are the illuminating eye gel from La Mer. I’ve been developing some dark Circle a under my eyes lately, but I put this on and I really feel like it helps brighten the eye before I put on my concealer. I’m also really loving Lancôme’s monsieur big mascara. I just feel like my lashes are fuller and fanned out more than with other mascaras. And I know you’re a big fan because I started trying it after seeing one of your tutorials! I always love the Sona selects blog post. Thanks, Sona! #24hrclub #instafam
La Mer eye creams are the best. I love the La Mer Eye Balm. It’s so hydrating! So happy you liked the post love.
Hey Sona!!
Love your videos and blogs. This list seems amazing! I totally want to buy the NuFace Trinity toning device, but I have to save some money ?
Lots of love from Dominican Republic,
Arielka M

That Nars concealer is life! One of my all time favorites ❤️
