Fall Lippies in my collection!!!

Hey pretty people! So i think I've mentioned once or twice that fall makeup season is my ABSOLUTE favorite of all time in the history of ever! The leaves are changing, scarfs everyday are socially exceptable, and leggings are a closet staple AND great lipsticks are. A. Must. So here are some of my fave fall Lippies that I already have in my collection 


A great raspberry lipstick is a great way to stay pink if your not quite sold on red just yet. I got this fave of mine at Walmart I believe for like $8 it's Rimmel and works really for any season! I'm actually almost out and I WILL be purchasing another! It's not glossy but it's not matte either. It's just a BEAUTIFUL color all around. And I find looks great on just about everyone. 


Here's a high end Lippie. Now this wears a bit darker then this swatch on me but is BEAUTIFUL it's Dior so it's going to set you back about $30 but it has AMAZING pigment and has just a moisturizing glossy finish! 


These 2 are currently are my daily favorites. The NYX one is on top and is a beautiful mauve that's is going to match just about any eyeshadow color and outfit color. That's why it's an awesome daily wear. The bottom one is Youngblood smolder and is my UNDENIABLE favorite lipstick right now. It's a mauve with just enough red and pink to compliment my skin tone perfectly and achieve that kylie jenner look. I got it from my local state beauty supply for 10$ the Nyx you can get from ULTA for $6. 


Who doesn't love a great nude? This Loreal priveƩ collection nude is amazing! It's a super soft pink that has the most insane buttery texture. You'll have the most kissable lips ever! And you'll look so good they won't even care you got lipstick all over them. Unless you'rey boyfriend Mitch and you absolutely hate it. Hahah love YA babe! ;) you can get this for $9 at any drugstore


Okay let's talk about r-r-r-red. It's hot. It's sexy. And let's be real it can get a little bit messy. But the right red can change a girls life. Red is powerful and sophisticated but the wrong red can make you look like a 2 cent hooker. For the fall I like deeper blue based and brick reds opposed to more orangy Reds that I find more appropriate in the summer. The top one is a loreal red that runs about $9 at the drugstore but I've had it forever bc it's one of my favorite reds ever! Now the bottom one is a sephora lip stain that is SUPER pigmented and a beautiful matte I always get SOOOOOO many compliments on it. You can get it at sephora for $12 


Lastly I wanted to do a swatch with them all together so you can see that they are actually all different I know sometimes that can look like I'm buying the same lipsticks over and over again but I promise I'm not! I only do that with eyeshadows hahaha. Anyways! Love you guys like always! Enjoy this beautiful weather and stay pretty! MUAH

Product review!!!

Hey pretty people! So I wanted to do a mid week blog on some products I've been using and loving! 

Let's jump right in! I'm super picky about foundations. I have way dry skin and so I find it hard to find foundations that don't transfer and don't cake up in my dry areas. Well loreal has had their true match line for a while but they just came out with their luminous true match line. And I'm LOVING it! It gives my skin a super hydrated glow and I haven't had any adverse reactions! AND it come ins Warm, neutral, and cool tones! That's AMAZING for a drugstore line!! 

It comes I. This packaging with a pump. WHICH I LOVE!! You waste less product and it just looks better. 
I'm Sand beige W5. Now I think I'm usually a more neutral tone however I found that the neutral colors were a bit light for me! I got this foundation at Ulta for about $11. So a STEAL! I HIGHLY recommend this!! 

Now anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE bronzer. Love is probably an understatment. I'm sure I've gone over board a time or too. And looked like the cast of jersey shore but hey more is more is more. Right? Probably not but I do love this Hoola Bronzer by Benefit cosmetics. 

The packaging is sooooo stinkin cute!! It comes in this precious little box! Now benefit cosmetics is a high end line. And I do try to stay more with affordable especially when talking to other people about makeup because just to be real most sane people don't spend what I spend on make up. I mean I could probably have a second car. Haha. Anyways. This will run you about $28 at ulta. I think this is totally worth the money. With good high end products you tend to have to use less product to achieve the look so it's a give and take. I also love the brush it comes with. I haven't purchased an Ida brush yet so I've been using this to get a nice sculpted look! And the color is AMAZEBALLS for fall. It's super neutral so it look fab on just about anyone. And we tend to be less tan in the summer so it's just perfect and SUPER blend able. 

And lastly is my Milani gel eyeshadows. Now I will be the first to say as a gel eyeshadow I don't think their the best. HOWEVER I do LOVE the colors and I think that's all that matters. 

These are the colors I have as of now. Cappuccino (matte) which is a great drugstore transition color. Emerald (shimmer) which is a BEAUTIFUL green for fall! Bronze (shimmer) which is a fave on any eye color and champagne (shimmer)  which Is a beautiful soft pink shimmer color. I have only found these ins Select CVS. And they are only $5 an eyeshadow! I LOVE them! 

Well pretty people that's all I've got for now! Have a great week! Do something nice for a stranger!

Fall beauty tips, tricks & trends


Hey pretty people! I know it's been way to long but talk about life getting busy! With that being said FALL IS UPON US. Well mostly. Your never truly know in oklahoma. tomorrow morning is suppose to be 49 degrees and then 70 is the high. What in the world?! Anyways enough about the weather! Fall is my FAVORITE makeup season HANDS DOWN. I think it's because I love the colors and the warmth and drama you can get away with. So here are some of the trends that pretty much never go out of style in fall and what some of the Fall 2014 styles are! Also you can see I have longer hair. I love my Extentions in the colder weather and it's dark dark! Love it! 

Smokey eyes! 

Smokey eyes are pretty much always in style. Though I find that during the summer and spring it's a bit much for a day time look. However in the fall I think this dusty rose smokey eye is perfect with a nude lip and an awesome scarf! During the day I wouldn't do a bold lip with this it's going to be a bit harsh unless that's the look your going for! 


Deep plum or red 
 Can we talk about how obsessed I am with this look for a second. I mean COME ON! If you are going to do a bold lip this is the way To go. This deep deep lip is SUPER stylish for fall. It's classy yet edgy! Unfortunatly I don't have a suggestion on a color specific for this look because I haven't found one for myself. However I do have the Dior londres and I find it's a bit lighter so more girls would be more appt to go for. When I find one I'll be sure to post it! 


Benefit cosmetics hoola bronzer! 

I'm LOVING this bronzer for fall and winter. It's not to warm and it's not to cool and looks fabulous on fairer skin. Now I'm dark completed naturally. But obviously were all a bit lighter in the fall and winter. The sun kissed look just doesn't quite fit when there is snow on the ground. You can purchase this from ulta for $28. Yes a bit more pricy but I say just go ahead and spend the money. 


Go for color this fall! 

This is YouTube famous makeup artist Jaclyn Hill she is AMAZING!! So funny! And I was just obsessed with this look. This is going to be great for a night out in fall! It's also going to be for that more risk taking girl. The green is real life for fall. I'm just OBSESSED. Check her out on YouTube! 


Also the Kylie jenner look is SO IN for anytime of the year! This is Jaclyn hills new lipstick creation by Gerard cosmetics called 1995! Ahh it's beautiful but a bit pricy. 


This is me and the color I wear to mimic this look it's my NYX cosmetics for $6 it's the Matte: whipped caviar. 

And here are some basic tips for fall. 

Go one or the other for day time. Bold lip and neutral eye or neutral lip and bold eye. 

Reds and plums are so in! 

Stay more matte with foundation and powders. 

Moisturize your face! The cold dries it out! 

Hair in buns and scarfs are always exceptable. 

Go cozy and warm if you want too! We wait all Summer for it! And yes uggs are ugly but oh so comfy! 

And remember to always be positive and encouraging. The holiday season is right around the corner so slow down and enjoy the crisp air and changing leaves! Stay pretty 

Xoxo
