Some of you may have been wondering where I've been and some of you maybe don't care. Either way, a very long story short is that I moved. It was quick and dirty, but it's all done and we are all settling in nicely to our new country home :-)
Now let's hope that a new home means a new routine with more regularly scheduled blog posts! One can always hope right?!?
So today's post is going to be all about Fall Beauty. I love Fall. Fall and Spring are my two most favorite seasons. I am not a hot weather person and being in Minnesota I really don't want to think about winter right now.
Traditionally, this is the time of year that deeper, darker and richer tones start to show up and I love that. But let me pause and tell you that if you are a lover of neons and pastels and you want to rock that all the way into next summer, you go right on ahead and do that. I am a firm believer that fashion and beauty should be a reflection of you, not what other people say you should do.
For me though, I love the darker, and more vampy colors that come out for Fall. Especially in the beauty department. So below are some of the things that I am totally obsessed with. I apologize in advance for the craptastical lighting, but the new house has a lot of "natural" lighting so it's just weird.
A few of my faves! Most are from the drug store too :)
I am absolutely obsessed with the deeper colors in this palette! Especially the garnet and deep purple shades. This is the Lorac Pro Palette.
I am also totally into orange. Like fall leaves or a fall sunset or a bonfire after a football game. I LOVE this palette from the Wet n Wild Fergie Collection in Desert Festival. I picked this up at Walgreens for $2 on sale.
A beautiful purple-y cranberry shade from E.L.F. in burnt plum. Use this wet or dry!
Deep berry blushes like Heather Silk from Wet n Wild - also found at Walgreens for $1 on sale.
Maybelline limited edition mascara in So Very Berry. About $5 at Walmart. I put this just on the tips of my lashes after my regular mascara is on. Stunning on blue and green eyes! I tried to find a link for this but I couldn't find one for exactly this color. BUT I have seen it all over at Target, Walmart and Walgreens.
I LOVE dark nail polish all year long but these are some of my FAVES. Essie in Wicked, Zoya in Casey and Wet n Wild in Under Your Spell. Love all of these. Love them.
A new love. Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar. OMG. This is from their new metallic collection and is in the shade Black Metal Dahlia. This is stunning - the lighting here does not do it justice. Can be worn more sheer or fully loaded. And while it is a deeeeeeeep berry color it doesn't appear too deep or goth on your lips. Just in case you were worried.
And finally, I am loving (or still loving) Lime Crime's lipstick in Galmour 101. I found that using a lip liner is essential with these darker colors and I love this one by Jordana in Rock n Roses. Found the lipliner at Walgreens for $1 or maybe $2. Also couldn't find a link for that but you can find it at Walgreens by the beauty counter near the Sinful Colors nail polish.
So tell me in the comments below what your fave Fall Beauty trends are! Anything you love about fall? Or maybe you don't like fall colors and that's okay too!
