Tis’ The Season for Fall Lipsticks

The season of fall dark vampy lips is upon us and I couldn’t be more excited. There is something about a dark mauve matte lip that makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
Today on this rainy Thursday I wanted to share my favorite fall lippies with you all.

First, Mac Whirl lipstick. We all have heard of the cult favorite whirl lip pencil from Mac and from popular demand Mac has created a Whirl lipstick. I hopped on this band wagon very fast and im glad I did. This lipstick is the perfect dark mauve with a brown under tone. The lipstick last all day and doesn’t dry out my lips.

Second, Bite Beauty Butter Cream lipstick in Hazelnut. Bite beauty has always been one of my favorite brands because of their all natural ingredients. Their lipsticks never irritate my lips and always keep them smooth and hydrated. This color is also a mauve but with a plum under tone right on trend for fall! The unique aspect of this lipstick is it is hand cut. By having the lipstick hand cut it removes the outer waxy layer and expose’s the lipstick’s creamy center. This lipstick is infused with five nourishing, aromatic butters, including lavender, shea, almond, pomegranate, and chamomile. Good for your lips and stylish.

The Tarte lip surgence lip glosses have a sheer pigment make them perfect for those no makeup days and are hydrating and smell delicious. The color Exposed is a pinky brown neutral perfect for everyday. The Tarte lip Surgence Lip Glosses are on sale right now at Sephora for 10$.

Simple Skincare Replenishing Moisturizer

White bottle of skin moisturizer

It’s no secret that I have a strong relationship with Simple Skincare. Their Micellar Cleansing Water , and Micellar Makeup Remover Wipes have been my holy grail skin care products since I first put them on my skin. Well I have added yet another Simple product to my skin care routine,  a moisturizer.

I can be very picky when it comes to choosing a moisturizer. I have dry skin and it only gets worse as the colder months approach. But I also have sensitive skin and can be prone to break outs. Because of this I am extremely picky about the products that i put on my face. Simple Skincare has always been a winner because its gentle, has amazing ingredients and their products work!

The Simple Replenishing Rich Moisturizer is no different.  It is  exactly what my dry skin needed as I am preparing for the fall season.  This moisturizer is light, extremely hydrating and sinks into the skin almost instantly making a nice  base for makeup.

Not only does this moisturizer instantly replenish my skin , it keeps it hydrated all – day – long , goodbye dry patches!

Blinc Black Lash Primer

Let’s talk lashes. We all want long lashes , volume and curl am I right?
I have the answer for you all. The Blinc Black Lash Primer is the answer  to all your lash prayers. This was my first time trying a lash primer and I couldn’t belive my eyes.

I will admit I was blessed with long lashes but they do not stay curled and I have a  strong fear of eyelash curlers. This primer has solved that. This lash primer keeps my eyelashes curled from morning to-night. The wand is curved to curl & extend your lashes. And if you really want to step up your game use the Blinc Mascara  in combination with the primer and your lashes will be so long you could fly away.

There are no clumps, there is volume, length and curl its every mascara I have tried in two simple steps. I have become a mascara  primer believer.

L’oreal Blow Dry It- Dry Shampoo

2283934

I am a huge believer in the dry shampoo gods. My hair is wavy, frizzy and thick so blow drying my hair is a chore and if i find a product that helps me go through that processes less its pure gold to me.

L’oreal’s Bow Dry It Dry Shampoo is gold. First off there is NO white cast. For all of you who use dry shampoo religiously know one of the worst things is having to blend that white cast in so you don’t look like a grandma all day. Also the smell , my oh my the smell is delicious, it smells so fresh. Which is what we want after not washing our hair for two days right?

My biggest issue ive come across with finding the right dry shampoo is the feeling of still having dirty hair after I apply it. The smell and texture of the L’oreal dry shampoo makes me feel as though my hair is freshly washed when im actually on day 3. Not only does the product claim to be a dry shampoo but also a blow dry extender. So it can be used on fresh hair to extend the style and also used in between washes to refresh & extend.

-style tip: after your blow out blast your hair with a shot of cool air to lock your style into place, works wonders I promise!

This dry shampoo works amazing, smells amazing and cuts down the amount of times I have to wash my hair. 10/10 for me!

Mac Cosmetics Fix +


I always thought setting sprays were a myth. I didn’t understand how misting some magical water on my face would have any effect on my makeup.  Although Recently I had the opportunity to try the Mac Cosmetics Fix + and even though I had my doubts I put it all aside and did my beauty research.

To my surprise the magical water , works. This setting spray does so much more than set makeup, let me explain. Mac’s Fix + refreshes and soothes the face while setting any powder that is all the face helping set the makeup and pro long the wear. But also I found that it is awesome for eye shadows.

Have you ever had an eye shadow that you loved but the pigment just wasnt there? This happens to me a lot with any shadows with glitter or duo chrome. Well I have an easy fix for you! By applying some fix + to your eye shadow brush and then dipping the brush into the shadow wa-la! Watch your shadow transform and intensify.

So the breakdown is, the setting spray isn’t a myth. Its helps my makeup stay refreshed and smooth as it claims and It intensifies any eye shadow. It’s a win , win.

Too Faced Born This Way Foundation

Brace yourselves for the best foundation to hit the shelves all year. Yes it’s a big claim but trust me I have evidence to back it up.

I was browsing the aisles of Sephora searching for some inspiration and I spotted the
Too Faced Born This Way Foundation in a beautiful glass bottle and the packaging just caught me. I quickly got color matched and picked up a sample to use for the week. ( If you didn’t know Sephora gives very generous & free samples).

So I set out to use the foundation and I couldn’t believe my eyes. First off coverage is out of this world a little bit goes a very long way. Your pores? Forget about them they completely disappear with this foundation. Your face will  look flawless almost like it was “born this way”.

The finish of the foundation is youthful and radiant, It is infused with coconut water to give you a natural glow, and naturally replenish moisture levels. The is the best foundation to hit the shelves in 2015. If you don’t believe pick up a sample and see for yourself!
