The Beauty Blender

My sister Danie gifted me with an assortment of beauty blenders, which I just now got around to trying and my life is forever changed! I can't believe they have been sitting in my possession a whole month and I had no idea how fantastic they were! If you are already a makeup sponge fan, then don't hesitate…commit! If you are a brush kind of girl then know I was right there with you on not really caring about the slightly pricey non disposable makeup sponge, because I never cared about the cheap makeup sponge. But guys!!! It saves so much TIME. The shape of this thing was made to get the job done and it leaves such a flawless finish to your foundation. I am all in on this one!

last year's favorites that made it into 2014

Sebastian Volupt Spray- I got a sample in a beauty box last summer and fell in love with this stuff. I spray it in my hair before I curl it if I want a little more volume or on my straight hair if it is day 4 or 5 and it is going a little limp.

Wigo Teasing Comb- I love to tease the roots of my hair for a little lift and this comb totally gets the job done.

Benefit Hoola Bronzer- This was an end of the year discovery and I have no idea how I lived before owning this bronzer. It is great for contouring the face and it keeps you looking sun kissed, even in the coldest months.

Suave Dry Shampoo- Washing my hair is such an ordeal and I can now put it off a full week if I want to with this stuff by my side. This is my secret weapon for having unwashed, day 7 hair, that looks like day 2 hair. Oh, and did I mention it is under $3?

Sonia Kashuk Concealer Palette in Hidden Agenda- I have no idea how to pronounce the name of this brand but it doesn't matter, this palette rocks and it is at your local Target! It contains two different concealer shades, so if you get a tan you don't have to go out and buy a whole new concealer and the neutralizer in this palette works some serious magic in desperate times!

MAC Turquatic- I like this scent and guys do too…winner!

NYX

Let's talk about this brand for a minute...it's cheap, it's fun, it's at Target...I feel like those are all good things. I grab two NYX liquid liners the other day and I am obsessed with both.

Electric blue and edgy

I used the silver glitter over a basic black liquid liner.

Happy October

So I welcomed October with new hair, just call me Lily from the Munsters, ok? Ok.

I actually really love this month. I watch bunches of Alfred Hitchcock, eat all the pumpkin-y yumminess that is everywhere, dress my feet in boots, go bowling in cozy sweaters, and I buy that makeup you just can't find any other time of the year. Here are some of my favorites!

These shimmer eyelashes from Urban Outfitter's Halloween Makeup are so
fabulous. They have a few colors and I think the silver pair
would be perfect for a New Year's party or a 60's party!

Anastasia came out with some very cool colors for  hair and brows so if you were
thinking of going pink or purple or any other fun color, check this stuff out, also at Urban Outfitters!

lipstick in your pocket

I intended to pick up two MAC lipsticks yesterday at the makeup counter, but I always manage to walk away with something extra and this trip was no exception! MAC just release a new line with some amazing palettes and I fell in love with their tiny red lip palette. Between these three shades you can rock some pretty awesome red lips...and the best part is it can fit in your pocket! I mean, what could be more perfect?

MAC Antonio Red Lips palette $27.00 and Revlon nail polish in Posh

That mascara in the orange tube

I am so picky about mascara. I am that girl that will order it on Amazon by the cases if I love it or return it the same day if I hate it. Lately, I am liking Cover Girl mascara. You can build it up and make it dramatic or just use one coat for a soft look. It is under ten dollars and I prefer it to the name brand stuff, so if you want to save up for the perfect winter boots I promise this is a great way to do it...cheap works with this one! Also, check out the messy bun...I want to wear my hair like this every day! Happy Sunday guys!

my current fall favorites

I am usually hanging on to the last bits of summer, but this year I am so ready for cozy sweaters and fringe boots, afternoon with my best friend at the table by the fireplace sipping Panera hot chocolate, and a new season of Downton Abbey. I am also ready for fall makeup! Here are my new additions!

I have been using the Melba blush from MAC on my eyes, as it is the perfect light orange shade!
It doesn't work on me as a blush color, but with some brown smudged eyeliner it is the perfect orange for my eyes.

NARS Amazon and Marnie are two amazing lip liners.

I pair the Amazon liner with NARS Volga...such an amazing combination!!!

The change of seasons is the perfect time to change out your makeup bags.
Park In The Sky bag from J.Crew is my first choice!
