Fall Beauty Inspiration

Is it weird to have a favorite make-up season? Well if it's wrong, then I do not want to be right!


Fall make-up is all about dark, sultry colors like plum, bronze, and scarlet (and these might just be my favorite colors!). I am in love with fall make-up looks and I have been overwhelmed with inspiration from Pinterest, YouTube, and around the Internet. This look from Jaclyn Hill - LOVE! I love a dark bronze eye paired with a deep plum lip, or even smoky eye with a nude lip. They are so perfect for fall to go with sweaters and dresses. Although these looks may be more for the evening, I have been loving a subtle-smoky brown eye paired with a glossy pink-plum lip for everyday.

Nails are just as important as make-up. Ironically I love the same colors for my nails - browns, purples, and nudes. Recently I have been switching between a dark purple-almost-brown color and a nude nail with glitter. Random fact - my favorite nail polish brand is Ulta. The colors are so pigmented and most of them are quite glossy on their own. They are pretty durable and they last me about five to six days with a base coat, two color coats and sometimes a top coat. Also you can usually catch them on sale for two dollars a bottle, yep that's right TWO dollars! Definitely try the shade "Aubergine Queen", it's my favorite. The nude color I have been using is OPI Tutti Fruti Tonga. It's an old shade so I'm not sure if it is still available. Other colors perfect for fall are reds, blues and any pretty much any deep color. I am in love with the Essie Fall Collection, so definitely check it out!

And as for hair, two words: volume and waves.

Here's some inspiration...

Trendy Thursday: Polish Your Polish

Nails are truly an accessory. They can spice up what would be a boring outfit or they can completely clash with what you are trying to go for. Plus, your nails are fun to play around with and you can easily try new things. So today's focus is obviously... nails!


I personally am horrible at painting my nails and am very guilty of having naked fingers and toes...like right now. Since I am skillfully challenged with the art of nail painting, I tend to go for a simple, solid color. So here are some of my favorite colors today!

These are some fun summer colors to wear and I am really loving the Sally Hansen Pacific Blue, shown above.

If you are more adventurous than me, you can of course can have some fun with designs or patterns, and sticker nails are also a great option if you are unskilled like me.

What summer color are you craving to try?

Enjoy your Thursday!

Trendy Thursday: Summer Bangs

Something you can look forward seeing to in my notebook is Trendy Thursday! Basically it is just hot and new trends that have been seen on celebrities or runways. Today's focus is... bangs!

At one time or another, we all have had them. Sometimes good, other times bad. But bangs are a new relived trend that is seen everywhere this summer. Many celebrities including Kourtney Kardashian, Jessica Alba, and January Jones have been spotted sporting this simple, but trendy, 'do.

 

 

Funny how Kourtney and January are matching with striped tees and red lips!



Even first lady, Michelle Obama, sported bangs for a short time. 

This is definitly a look to consider if you are looking to change up your locks. As a bonus, you will be right on trend for this summer!

Is this something you are considering to rock this summer??


Happy Thursday!
