First Four of Fall

Yes, my first official Fall post! Last Sunday was officially the first day of Fall but let's be real, we don't need a start date. It was Fall about three weeks ago. Football started, Fall decor was put on display, good TV is back and finally, the weather started to cool down.

So to honor the start of the season I'm going to share my first four favorites of Fall.

1. A week and a half ago I saw that Bath & Body Works had an online sale. $6 Fall favorites, 25% off your total and only $1 shipping. Say what?! I had been looking for the Fall body products in store but they kept telling me they didn't have them yet and only had the candles and soaps so far. I kept checking but no luck. So when I saw this deal online, I took advantage. Best part, I only paid $29 for all of this, which we clearly know is way more than that.

2. I'm sure by now you have seen the new M&M Pumpkin Spice. I actually found these about three weeks ago at Target when they were first putting them out. I knew that they were new but I didn't think too much of it. I got a bag and texted a bunch of my friends asking if they have seen them yet. As soon as I finished the first bag, I went back to Target and they were GONE and I know why. They are really, really good. The pumpkin spice flavor is subtle so it's not too overpowering. These M&Ms are exclusive to Target so I just had to keep checking back. I (obviously) found some and also got this adorable chevron cat tin to put them in. This find was in the wonderful $1-$3 section at Target.

3. Dark polish! Yay dark polish! Now I can throw on some darkness and not seem so emo. This color is Midnight Cami which is a dark, deep blue. I kept debating about which new colors to get because they also have some nice purples. So I decided to start with this and then next week I'll just switch to another. ;) I am still looking for some tips on how to keep your nail polish from chipping so quickly. A friend mentioned dipping your fingers in vinegar. Have you heard this before? Do you have any tips?

4. Fun socks, oh do I love fun socks! I have a huge collection of socks for any occasion. My boyfriend thinks I'm absolutely insane but that's ok. Unfortunately, I haven't found any new socks yet but I'm sure I will soon.

I could go on for a long time about my love of anything Fall but I won't, just yet. What kind of Fall favorites do you have? 

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Talk to you all soon!

Currently Loving!

Yay, my first "favorites" post! I think I'll have fun doing these. I'm finally starting to find products that I absolutely LOVE and would like to share. I'm sure you've definitely heard of some of these, but that's ok! Maybe you already have them, maybe you've been thinking about them, maybe you've never heard of them. Read on and enjoy!

1. Urban Decay Naked Palette - Now let me tell you something. I put off buying this palette for SO long because I couldn't bring myself to pay $50 for it. I know pretty much everyone has it but I thought since I wasn't even really that good at eye makeup, what was the point? Well, I caved and bought it and I'm so glad I did. It also comes with their original eyeshadow primer, Potion, and a shadow brush. I've gotten better and better at doing shadows since getting this palette. It's great because even when I'm in a rush, I can swipe on some "Naked" & "Half Baked" and run out the door.

2. Sigma Beauty Mr. Bunny Travel Kit - These brushes, oh, these brushes. I heard about them through YouTube makeup guru, Jaclyn Hill at a time when I really needed new brushes. I was hesitant because I usually HATE online shopping. I like to see, feel, touch, hold, etc. something before I buy it. But since I kept hearing good things (I Googled like crazy), I went ahead and bought the brushes. Sigma sells their brushes individually, in full kits and in travel kits. The full kit had 12 brushes, which I knew I didn't need all of them so I bought the travel, which had seven and covers everything the average person needs. The kits also come with a travel case and the "Bunny" title means they are vegan friendly. I was the brushes with MAC brush cleaner and have not had any problems with bristles falling out. PLUS, a big plus, they go back to being uber soft after wash! -- Side note, Sigma has a ton of coupon codes online, I found mine on Jaclyn's YouTube channel, and they send you an extra something when you spend more than $30.

3. Bath & Body Works Moonlight Path - I HATE lotions that leave my hands feeling extra greasy and this certainly doesn't do that. The triple moisture leaves my legs feeling so soft and (most of) their scents are fabulous. I love Moonlight Path for the work week because it's not too strong and Warm Vanilla Sugar at night and Paris Amore for going out. I usually always buy their lotions during when they're having one of their sales or with a coupon.

4. Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick - This lipstick has changed my life. I used to NEVER wear color on my lips but this has changed me. Well, sort of. I started off with Maybelline Whispers and Maybelline Vivids then stepped up to UD when I got used to seeing some color on my lips. It's soft and a little creamy, like a balm, and doesn't crack or dry out and lasts a good while. I got the color "69," which is a bright red. It is the one in the photo but I have to say the photo looks a little darker. I line this with a red NYX lipliner. UD does have matching lipliners for these lipsticks but NYX is just as good and a quarter of the price.

5. Maybelline Eye Studio - When it comes to eye makeup, I am very picky. I have horrible eye allergies and don't want to irritate them any more.  I have always used a eye liner pencil and lined the inside of my eyes. When I decided to do the cat eye look, I bought an NYC liquid eyeliner and OMG, it was bad. It was really, really bad. The liquid literally leaked INTO my eye. I immediately decided I was going to find something good. I also found this eyeliner by watching a Jaclyn Hill tutorial. I figured gel must not be too bad, and it wasn't. It does come with it's own brush but I use the Sigma E65 Small Angle brush with it.

Sorry if I rambled a bit on some of the products but I really wanted to share why I love them! Have you tried any of these products? What do you love?

Talk to you all soon!
