Fall is the season for makeup

Hi Guys,

           I absolutely love the fall for so many reasons, but as a beauty girl fall makeup is my favorite. The burgandys, deep purples, midnights, coppers, greys. Everything is lush, luxurious, and dramatic.  It's the one time of year makeup lovers can really be intense, and still be chic. I've been rocking dark nails, and smokey eyes all season. To be honest this post really doesn't have much of a point. I just love this time of year and wanted to celebrate it. I hope these pictures give you inspiration.

Update

     Hi Guys,
         
             I'm just putting this post together to let you guys know what's going on.  My internet has been crazy for the past two days. It will hopefully be fixed by sunday. In the mean time I have filmed two videos that I can't upload :( A miss piggy tutorial and an urban decay review. I will keep you posted :)

My Cozy Morning

Hi Everybody,
       
     This post has nothing to do with beauty lol. I think it's fun when other's share little slices of their life so I thought I'd do the same. Let me know if you want more of these.

     I woke up a little late this morning. I had a delicious cup of coffee. I have two coffee machines that I rotate between. One is the keurig, and the other is the flavia system. This morning I used the flavia, and had an Ethiopian roast. My coffee enjoyment was short lived because my dogs were hungry, and didn't feel like waiting for me to savor it lol.

     The best part of my morning was being outside. I let my dogs out, and grabbed a book. Some mornings I get calls from clients right away. This morning was peaceful. The weather was cool( somewhere in the mid 60's). I was so happy, it's usually hot where I live. I love the cool weather :)) I snuggled in a cozy hoodie, and sat on my outdoor love seat. I could have sat there reading that book, and feeling the cold air on my face forever. Unfortunately my little dogs were not enjoying the cold as much lol. They sort of hinted that they were ready to go inside. Long story short, I'm buying them sweaters :)

     This post was kinda random, but I think it's important to commemorate the small joys in life :) I am gonna film one or two videos today, so I'll see you later :)

Face of the day, Smokey Purple

Hi Everybody,
     I am writing this post in conjunction with a video on my channel. This is where you can find a detailed description of what I did, and the products I used. I hope you enjoy.

     Okay, at this point  I realize that I just deleted all the pictures I needed for this post (MEEP !). If you guys don't mind I will hunt for images on google :( If you want to see the actual pics I took they are in the beginning of the video below.

Stila 10 in 1 bb cream

     I love this stuff. It gives you light to medium coverage, and a velvety finish. I used my beloved beauty blender to apply it.

Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden

      Believe it or not I've been using this as a concealer. I love the coverage and the matte finish. It's a perfect match for my skin tone. I also used it as a lid primer :)

Tease from the naked 2 palette

     This is a soft matte brown with a purpleish tone. I used this in the crease. It is such a good crease color.

Wet N Wild Pedal Pusher Palette

     I used the left side of this palette. I used the brow bone in my inner corner, I used the lid color on my lid ( lol) , and I used the crease color to deepen my outer v. I freakin love this palette.

Booty Call from the naked 2 palette

     This is a soft creamy color with a sheen. I used it to highlight my brow bone.

Eyeko Fat pencil in ???

          I'm sorry guys I don't know the name of this color. It is a blue gray shimmer metallic.  I tried to find it online and couldn't :(  I received this in my june birchbox.  They are an English company that is slowly making their way to the states. It is similar to nyx jumbo pencils, but the packaging is like tartes lip surgeance.   I used it as a liner on the outer third of my lower lashes. I put a small abount and smudged it out with my fingers.

     I put concealer under my eyes to brighten the are and make my eye makeup pop.

Too Faced Peach Leopard Bronzer

     I normally use this product as a blush, but today I wore it as a full face bronzer. I used a big ass fluffy brush to diffuse the color. This product has a warm mid toned peachy hue. It is also shimmery.

Everyday Minerals Blush in Snuggle

     Okay, let's give props to the adorable name :)) This blush is a soft peachy pink with sparkle. These blushes are hella pigmented so use a light hand. I applied this to the apples of my cheekies.

Buxom Lip Polish in Amber

     Whenever I wear purple eye shadow I love to pair it with peach cheeks and lips. I love the color combo. It's a little un-expected. This lip gloss is dabombdotcom (tell your mom). I love everything about it.

     Do you guys want a review collection of my buxom lip polishes ??

Try This Game At Your Halloween Party

     

      Hi Every,
                If you're having a Halloween party this game will keep you entertained for a while. I have played this many times with different groups of people, and it's always fun. Ideally you should have at least 8 people, but more people just add to the fun. This game really lets your guests cut loose because it's fantasy based so the more you get into it the better.

              The objective of the game is to solve your very own murder mystery case using all the guests at the party in different ways. All you need is paper a pen and some willing victims, err guests.

              The rules are easy. Take one small slip of paper for each guest. Write d on one for detective. Write m on one for murderer. Mark the rest with v's for victim.  Fold all the pieces of paper and put them in a hat. let each guest choose a slip. Only the detective should announce themselves, and then leave the room. Next flip the lights off and let the murderer do their deed. The person with the m should now (gently) touch another they choose to me the victim. At this point the victim should fall to the floor. The lights go on, and the detective re-enters the room,

              This is the fun part. The detective questions the remaining subjects and has a limited time to guess who the murder is. You can choose a predetermined amount of time before the game begins.

              Have fun with it, be a crazy character, try to trip up the detective, wildly accuse other people. I hope you guys have fun, and let me know how it goes.
