Well, my friends - Fall has officially arrived. And it seems that I am in the minority because I hate the fall. I hate the cooler temperatures, the days getting shorter, all the leaves and acorns - just about everything about it. The only bright spot in the shorter, darker days is that I am able to start wearing new Fall makeup. And new Fall makeup means darker shades, browns, and berry's. I turned over a new leaf this week and started with the Fall multiple seasonings of color.
On my eyes, I have been loving all the three brown shades in Benefit's Weather Girl Palette. They are a bit frosty, but just perfect for my hazel colored eyes. And topping that is Bourjois Metallic Eyeliner Pencil in a beautiful copper called Feuille De Cuivre. I use the eyeliner, which is just so easy to smooth on, over the shadow and it highlights the frostiness in the shadows with the metallics in the eyeliner. Stunning.
On my cheeks I have been loving Tarte's Mineral Powder Bronzer in Hotel Heiress. It is not too bronzy, just a bit of bronze with a hint of a ruddy pink it in. It does not look that way at all in the compact, but that is what it does to my cheeks - and it is just perfect. If I am looking for more color, I have just discovered MAX Factors Satin Blush in Peach Spice. If NARS Orgasm Blush is a tad too light for you, try this shade. It is just a tone deeper, and perfect for even my now pale complexion.
Okay - the lips. I swear I have been trying a new color everyday. A few of my favorites so far are DuWops Anti-Venom Satin Lipstick in Bamboo, a sheer wash of berry; MAC's newest Viva Glam VI, a plum with a pearl finish; Bobbi Brown's Lip Shimmer in Candlelight, the perfect gold to simply wear along or over one of Fall's berry lip shades; Clinique's Full Potential Lips (their lip plumping lipgloss entry) in Blackberry Bloom, a sheer yet rich berry shade; and Benefit's Color Plump in Hey Sailor, a glazed berry with their Big Magic 2 Lip Gloss over it.
That is all I have gotten to so far this Fall. What are some of your new Fall favorites?
DuWop has created the ultimate Power Kiss for BCA month. The Power Kiss is an adorable pink miniature lip gloss case with a mirror and metal strap, filled with DuWop's Pink Shimmer Lip Venom. Pink Shimmer Lip Venom is the same formula as the original Lip Venom, but is infused with stunning pink shimmer.
