Favorite Fall Lippies

Favorite Fall Lip Products 

Oh man me an lippies have such a strong bond! My lip drawer is ridiculous to say the least, it's basically overflowing and I love it ;) every time I find myself wandering the makeup aisles of Target I find myself looking down to a basket with at least 1-2 lippies lurking around! My loves for fall at the moment are Revlon Matte Balm- Standout (http://bit.ly/1eoZAx), Jordana Twist and Shine- Cranberry Crush (http://bit.ly/1fpgPsM), Maybelline Matte Lipstick- Touch of Spice (http://bit.ly/1r2MHbH), Wet n' Wild- Urban Nights, Revlon- Copperglow Berry (http://bit.ly/1x9b1hb), MAC- Rebel (http://bit.ly/1ezmFbM), Maybelline Elixir Gloss- Mauve Mystique (http://bit.ly/1cYRhTu), Origins Drink Up Sugars- Caramel Crush (http://origins.cm/1rqq6GL)!

 Revlon Matte Balm in Standout is honestly my favorite red of all time. I've tried high-end and countless drug-store reds. For my fair skin and red hair Revlon Matte Balm in Standout is just the most amazing red. It's matte without being drying and sits beautifully on lips. It's also so easy to apply and can be found at most drug-stores.

Jordana Twist & Shine in Cranberry Crush is a beautiful light shine plum balm. It's great for just throwing in your purse and easy to reapply!

 Maybelline released matte lipsticks this year and I'm over the moon about Maybelline Matte in Touch of Spice! It's a great rich mauve rose that applies like a dream and feels amazing on the lips! I really recommend trying these new lippies from Maybelline.

Wet n' Wild limited edition shade in Urban Nights is such a perfect fall shade. Vibrant, vampy, and has a slight plumy hue. They also have some more neutral shades out at the moment :) check them out!
Revlon Copperglow Berry is beautifully unique shade. It's a great plum shade with a gorgeous golden glisten. If you are on the hunt for something a little different and will for sure turn heads I really recommend

checking this shade out!

MAC Rebel is one of MAC's most popular fall shades and is talked about constantly during this time of year. It's a great cross between a red and a dark rich purple. It's much darker in the bullet so don't be afraid to give it a try!
         

I've been taking about the Maybelline Elixir Gloss in Mauve Mystique for months now and I'm not done yet. Maybelline seriously nailed this gloss formula on the head! Next to NYX butter glosses these are my favorite drugstore glosses. They are not sticky and they feel amazing on the lips. They feel moisturizing and so smooth! Please do me a favor and check these out you don't be sorry!                                            

Thank you Aimee for gifting me Origins Drink Up Sugars- Caramel Crush. The shade is incredible and the formula lovely. It's a little sticky but lasts a long time on the lips and is really moisturizing! It's great paired with a nude or over top a great plum.

Top 5 Fall Blushes

Top 5 Fall Blushes 

Next to lip products blush is something I find myself purchasing most often. While yes, I still do rock the occasional coral in the fall I also love bringing out my mauve, plum, and deeper shades. My top five fall blushes are Tarte- Exposed (http://bit.ly/VDZ4Uv), Inglot Blush- 25 (http://bit.ly/1s3ib22), Wet n' Wild-Heather Silk (http://bit.ly/10iMFHT), Amazing Cosmetics- Cinnamon Spice (http://bit.ly/1yVgLiT), Kevyn Aucoin Blush- Red Berry (http://bit.ly/1x51Pdv) 

Bottom to top: Tarte- Exposed, Inglot Blush- 25, Wet n' Wild-Heather Silk, Amazing Cosmetics- Cinnamon Spice, Kevyn Aucoin Blush- Red Berry 

Wet n' Wild blushes are so incredible. They are inexpensive, pigmented, and available at most drugstores in the USA. I've been a fan for years now! They only have about 3-4 shades but the ones they do have are outstanding! My love for the fall in Heather Silk which is a great berry shade. The trick with this blush is a little goes a long way!! Use a light hand, you don't wan to look like Bozo!

Tarte Exposed is one of my favorite blushes of all time and for any season! It's gorgeous and lasts all day on the skin. Exposed will work on most skin tones and looks amazing with any eye look, really you could do a crazy smokey eye and it would work or just wear it for an everyday natural look!

Amazing Cosmetics Cinnamon Spice is a crazy unique shade. Not only is this shade perfectly fall as a blush but you could also incorporate it into fall eyeshadow look and it blends like a dream!

Inglot 25 is a the most perfect fall mauve deep rosy shade! I love how pigmented this blush is, similar to the Wet n' Wild blush a little goes a long way. Inglot blushes are paraben free and the brand does not test of animals, which is always a great plus!

Kevyn Aucoin Blush- Red Berry is just the most perfect deep rich plum almost slightly red blush. What makes this blush so great is that it is so easy to blend out! With bright vibrant shades like this one is if it's not easy to blend it can be a disaster. Start with a little and build up the intensity at you'd like!

What's your favorite fall blush?! Have fun and express yourself this fall with a fun blush! Stand out and feel unique!

Top 5 Fall Nail Polishes

Top 5 Fall Polishes

Who doesn't love a good fall polish. Personally I am a nail polish junkie and honestly cannot get enough. Be sure to leave me a comment of you favorite nail polishes for fall or of all time! While luxury is nice and they are some of my favorites it's the formula, shade, and lasting power that matters to me. My top 5 nail polishes for this fall are Essie Chinchilly, OPI Dim Sum Plum, Butter London Scuppered, Deborah Lippmann Lady Sings the Blues, and NARS Endless Night. The dark vampy colors are always a must for me this time of year but I also do not like to sacrifice color!

Fall is all about getting cozy for me which means big comfy sweater of all colors! All of these polishes look gorgeous with my fall style. 

Essie Chinchilly is not only one of my favorite fall shades but one of my favorites of all time in my collection. It's a lovely muted mauve purple/gray. This polish would look gorgeous with a little cream colored cozy sweater, it's so perfect for fall. 

This OPI polish was part of OPI's Breast Cancer Awareness collection last year. It is a beautiful plum pink. It is a great color because although it is bright it's not too much for fall. Rock this color with a chunky scarf and a fun fall flannel! 

Butter London Scuppered is literally fall leaves on your nails. It's an absolutely radiant shade that is the definition of fall.    

Deborah Lippmann Lady Sings the Blues is new to my collection this year and has quickly become my favorite. It's a deep navy blue with silver and lighter blue shimmer. The formula is wonderful and looks amazing with two coats. 

NARS Endless Night is the most vampy of the bunch. It's a rich purple almost black shade. I was rocking white polish for most of the spring and summer, deep shades like this are now my addiction. Black Zara leggings, a large gray sweater, boots, and this polish would be the perfect fall pumpkin patch outfit. 

Nail polish is a simple way to express yourself so I say have fun with it! Rock a bright pink if you want or paint your nails black! Show your color with little commitment ;) remember it's just polish and will fade away!  

Top 5 Hightlighters 

Left to right: Dim Light, Incandescent Light, and Radiant Light 

Right side of the face Incandescent light

Left side no ambient light powder 

On the top of my list for most loved highlighter of the moment is the Hourglass Ambient Light Palette. Hourglass offers 6 individual Ambient Light Powders that retail for $45 each on the Sephora and Hourglass website. They are meant too be universal finishing powders that recreate the most flattering light. Each powder serves a different function, from capturing light, diffuses light, to softening light. This palette retails for $56 and is an amazing way to test out two of the Ambient Light Powders

The three in this palette are (From left to right) Dim Light, Incandescent Light, and Radiant Light.  Incandescent light is the only powder that is limited to this palette. 

Second favorite would have to be MAC Mineralized Skinfinish in Redhead. MAC Minerealized Skinfinish in Soft and Gentle is a dupe for Redhead (Redhead was limited edition). This powder gives a soft rose gold highlight to skin. 

Stila Kitten duo is for sure on of the best highlighting products on the market. It is like 3 highlighters in one, you can use each shade on their own or mix them together and create a gorgeous golden champion highlight. This product retails for $22 and can be purchased on the Stila Website as well as Sephora. 

Covergirl Shimmering Sands Trio is the most inexpensive of the bunch! Another great part about this product is that it comes with two other eyeshadows. You could complete a great natural eye look and then use the champion highlight on the cheek bones. 

More blended out on the skin for a more sheer wash of color

Benefit High Beam is a light pink champion liquid highlight. This highlight retails for $26 and can be purchased at Sephora, Ulta, and Benefit. I love to apply this highlight underneath or mixed into my liquid foundation. I recommend applying liquid highlighters before applying any powder products to the skin. 

These are just five of my favorite highlighting products. I hope you enjoy. Let me know what some of your favorites are.
