5 Beauty Products for this Fall!

1.) Royal blue or deep purple shadow &/or liner.

With not being able to wear many bright colors in the Fall season...These colors easily spice up any makeup look & practically looks good on every skin tone! I love using these shades for a pop of color to my basic makeup looks. They also look amazing with a nice black or grey smokey eye.

More Laura Mercier...

2.) An exfoliate.

With cooler temps approaching our skin can start becoming very dry & dull. An exoliator can really bring out your natural glow & prep your skin for a flawless makeup application. Just make sure to moisturize really well afterwards!..Trust me, your skin will look better than ever ;)

More Bliss...

3.) Dark nail polish. (my favorite for Fall/Winter ^_^ )

Other than being able to wear cute cozy clothes & layers for warm weather..being able to wear my DARK polishes get me excited for Fall (hahaha...I know it's the "little" things in life ;P ) This year I'm loving dark purples, blues, greens, browns, & black but all with a hint of different colors of shimmer/glitter. So fun!!

More Butter London...

4.) Bronzer.

Keep rocking that healthy looking glow into the next season by using a good bronzer. Be sure to find a good shade that matches your complexion & DON'T over due it :) Snooki is my girl & I will forever love her but keep that ULTRA BRONZED look to her!!! Lol 0:) I use bronzer more for contouring my face & it gives me a nice subtle glow. If using a bronzer for contouring..just make sure it has no glitter or sparkles in it & it's a nice matte shade.

More NYX...

5.) Berry/Plum lipstick & gloss.

Berry & plum shades are the perfect go to color for Fall. These shades have the ability to be flattering on just about everyone! Plus there are soo many different hues to choose from. Just make sure when using a darker color on your lips to keep your eyes and the rest of your face makeup more natural.  This will really make your lips pop & keep you from looking like a clown!!

More NARS...

Will you be using any of these types of products this season? I'd love to hear any other recommendations or tips!! Hope everyone is having a great week :)

My Pick for Emmy's 2011 Best Dressed

This year the stars shined dressed in beautiful gowns for the 2011 Emmy's. After seeing what they all brought to the table (judging by head to toe looks) it was SO difficult to pick just ONE. But I came to decision on my best dressed to be....

Nina Dobrev!

Nina was dressed in a Donna Karen gown, Judith Leiber clutch, & Neil Lane Jewelry. Everyone looked so gorgeous..but I honestly thought she looked absolutely stunning! I'm sure everyone has their own opinion on who was best dressed :) (so this is just my opinion, lol) From the dress, to the simple jewelry, her hair & makeup...this is definitely my style & what I would wear. Red is such a classic color but the dress' shape & cut really made it modern & brought it to life.

What do you think of her dress? & who were your favs for best dressed at the Emmy's?

Just a few things I've had my eye on for the Fall :)



L0VE...

I immediately fell in LOVE with this piece by Badgley Mischka from their Spring 2012 RTW Collection. From the color to the sexy but elegant sheer skirt...it's perfection.

Nail Polish Haul!

With Summer being over & Fall moving in...I decided to pick up some new Fall polish colors. Of course, I couldn't pick JUST one...it's known, that I have an obsession with buying nail polishes & changing the color of my nails if not weekly, every few days. Lol smh...which is why I prefer to do my own nails :)  I also had to pick up another bottle my absolute favorite top coat Seche Vete. But here's everything I got (side note: the photos didn't come out as well as I hoped! & most are NOT true to color :( So below I tried my best to describe each color to what they actually look like):

left to right: Revlon - Facets of Fuchsia, OPI - Mrs. O'Leary's BBQ, MAC - Style Clan, Essie - Power Clutch, Essie - Dive Bar, Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat

I just now painted my nails using Facets of Fuchsia. & let me tell you, the photo def does not do this color justice! It's actually a black polish with specks of large & small pieces of fuchsia glitter. So pretty!! I already can tell I'm going to be using this color often :)

Mrs. O'Leary's BBQ a very deep red..it actually looks like BBQ sauce when I tested it at home haha. But I really love dark shades of red for the fall, so versatile & pretty for any outfit.

Style Clan is a funky color that immediately caught my eye! It's a khaki olive green color with copper glitter. I love that it's so unique & not an everyday shade you see all the time.

Power Clutch is a concrete grey color. I can't wait to paint my nails this color & off set it with tons of gold rings & gold jewelry. I know it sounds "mis-matchy" but I love being different & sometimes doing the opposite of what goes together ;) lol

Dive Bar is a very dark shimmery turquoise. In the light it changes from a dark blue to a teal green. Somewhat reminds me of peacock feathers. Lovely color!

What do you think of the shades I chose? What are some of your favorite nail polish colors to rock during the Fall?

Also, I wanted to thank everyone for visiting my blog & all the sweet comments! I appreciate each & every one <3 Writing for this blog is just a hobby of mine..so when I get such great responses it really brightens my day! So, THANK YOU! xoxo
