Fall Beauty: It's All About the Flush

Oh Fall!

Pumpkin Spice Frappachinos
Cozy Sweaters
Pea Coats (My all time favorite coat in the history of fashion.)
Release of Halloween decor, and subsequent Christmas decor.

On a scale from one to I can't even, this has always been my most cherished time of year. Just before the hustle and bustle of holidays comes; comfort, college Football, and dark, dark, late nights around the fire.

Anyway, here are a few essentials that I am currently loving.




Happy Fall Ya'll!




Did I mention my inherent plaid obsession? Since I'm not entirely sure of where my roots actually lie, I'm going to blame this on my European ancestry. The plaid sweater from Forever 21 is functional, pretty, and excellent for layering. I've been so impressed with their Fall collections. Their plus line, (for girly's like me with big boobs), has really honed in on my plaid obsession so this sweater is of course my top pick!

My next few picks are makeup/beauty related, but first I've got to mention that purse. I've eyed that bag for about 2 weeks now, slowly letting it warm up to me before I decide on it as my Fall bag. Well, I got it, and I'm loving it. The space is amazing, and I like the option for a strap. The zipper detailing is super sturdy and will with last if you need to shove in unordinary things like a change of clothes for a girls weekend, or a quick road trip. I like purses that have multipurpose or utility.

Ok, onto the beauty!

Rimmel is my go to drugstore cosmetics brand, because it just never fails! I love the moisturizing full-on colors of the Kate Moss line. They have the best coverage without being the dreaded lip tattoo, which I'm all for if I'm going for an extreme look but these colors do best with a sheer to full coverage. My favorite shades are; 01. 06, and 11.

Next up is Revlon Color Stay Foundation, and I know I've mentioned this before but I keep going back to it. It's moisturizing and blend-able, as well as, covers great for the big to small imperfection. (It does swimmingly on my under eye circles.) I go between shades; Nude and Medium Beige. Although I do keep both stocked as one works for a good shader, if I'm going for a full face of makeup for a nighttime event.

Essie Grow Faster,  is a great polish for the Fall/Winter months when our nails need a lot of work. Yes, sometimes we need a break from color polishes and just have an nice treatment so our digits can live through another weekend. I love to wear this alone, or as a base coat. Essie is such a great brand, and worth every penny because their colors LAST! No gel mani, or UV light necessary.

Now that I've been using the L'Oreal liquid liner for awhile now, I am obsessed with it. It is by far the best liner that I've used for my favorite go-to, the cat eye, and it's percussion is unparalleled. L'Oreal makes no fail marks with this pen, and it literally last all day. I can put it on at 8AM and make no touch ups, (except to my watery outer corners), before heading out for the night. Never underestimate the power of a good liquid liner in your makeup kit, because it can literally save you in a pinch!

Lastly, but most certainly not least, is the Pixiwoo Translucent face powder which I can't get enough of. Seriously, it will change your makeup routine! Usually I go for the cheapest face powder I can find, but while this Pixiwoo powder is on the pricey side I've noticed a few differences. Sometime during the month my t-zone and nose get a little on the shiny side so I like to have a little more coverage with my powder, whether I'm pressing or brushing it on. I can take this powder anywhere, and use it either way but it always leaves the same finish. That's something I can count on! I've slowly started to fall in love with the Pixiwoo brand between the whimsical packaging, and the amazing color pallets. I adore it completely!

So what are your Fall picks? Tell me everything!
