Fall is finally here, my favorite season of the year!  Because I am so much of a lippy person it would be extremely appropriate to share with you all of my go-to lipsticks for the fall season. I'm going to start slow, with my more neutral shades.

Fall is not only a time for bold and dark colors, it's also a time for neutral and more toned down colors as well.  These colors are more work friendly when I decide to wear makeup at work I will use one of these for my lips.  Sable from Bite had came in a holiday gift box last year.  It's a great universal color for any season but I would catch myself wearing it a lot and then I found Taupe from Mac's permanent collection. I've been building up my neutral collection lately, and Taupe seems to be my go-to for almost everything.  It's not too dark nor is it grey.

Originally I was only going to go with just Sin.  Both times I went into my local Mac boutique I did swatches of both of them and wouldn't take the plunge on the two because they looked so similar.  I'm so happy that I did go with both though.  Yes, they're extremely similar however Diva has more red than Sin and that's what I love about it.  There's a subtle difference but that difference really makes or breaks a look I find.  These lips are the perfect bold lip for a casual night out or just going shopping.  They're not overpowering but bold enough to make a statement.

It is perfectly acceptable to go out in public with extremely dark colors.  For my super dark color I choose Cyber with Nightmoth as a lip liner.  For dark colors, a lip liner will help substantially with bleeding. If you decide to not go with any sort of lip liner I would recommend a lipgloss on top so in case it did bleed, you will have an excuse!  Cyber was my go-to color all last year and even into the winter season.  It's definitely a cult favorite for me.

Okay, it's Halloween and you're going out to a party! Don't forget Serpentina!  I love this shade so much because it is so unique and fun.  Lime Crime lipsticks glide on so smoothly, it's great.  Poisonberry is a really alien-like purple.  Both are essentials in order to be fully in the Halloween spirit.  Both are super sparkly and so nice to play with.

I took a swatch photo for all of the colors in order and how they compare to each.  Trying to go up from light to dark.  I love how it resembles fall colors and leaves fairly well.  These are my favorite go-to fall lip colors.  If you're looking for a nice bold fall color, or a more neutral not as out going shade, I recommend you take a look at these shades.

So today I decided I will have a pamper day between all the hectic and rush of the Christmas season.

The candle of choice is called Gourmet Espresso by Bath and Body works.  Unlit it has quite a strong scent of coffee and chocolate which is actually what drew me to purchase this candle.  It is really sweet so perfect for an afternoon of baking Christmas goodies with friends and family!

I haven't found time to use face masks as much as I used to so my skin was feeling extra dry because  the crisp air of winter will do that to your skin!  Which is why I purchased the NextBeau 10 pack moisture face mask and it serves the purpose extremely well as I had predicted.  The end result had made my face feeling 100% more moisturized and added the vibrancy to my face that was missing! 100% satisfied with this product. 

After my shower, again with my always and forever go-to product, Miracle Argan Oil by Welcos Merit which can be purchased here.  It's perfect in every way! 

The mascara I decided to go with is Too Faced Better Than Sex.  Can we just say that the packaging is enough to make anyone buy this alone??

For the way it applies I really like how dark the mascara is and the length it gives my lashes.   I also enjoy how easy it is to apply as well. A little is a lot with mascara and that is so true.  This mascara really gives my eyes a pop and makes them stand out moreso than others would.   I give this my stamp of approval! 

Next for my bronzer I used the Too Faced Bronzer in the light leopard print.   This bronzer doesn't really do a whole lot to my face, I just kind of like the way it looks in the packaging. It sits on my face pretty subtly too, which is just what I need. Usually I will skip the bronzer because I'm scared to go too harsh on it and look like an oompa loompa.

For my lippy I wanted to have a change up in my routine and thought a red color might look okay despite trying reds on in the past and not liking the look it gave me.  However in this Bite Holiday package I used Pomegranate which is the truest red in this set anyway and let me tell you I really like the look it gives me!  I'm going to go ahead and say that this is what I like the most about my look today.  

And let's not forget what we all do best in December, I am wrapping presents for yes, you guess it, Raelene's gift! But shh, I can't post them on here because it's a gift sillys. 

First off I would like to say that I am forever grateful for everything that was given to me for my birthday that has just recently passed.  Many thanks to everybody who didn't have to but did anyway not only think of me but buy me something for my birthday! 
Now, onto the goodies shall we?

After browsing the Sephora website multiple times, I have always stopped and looked at Bite cosmetics and have wanted some of their products.  While in there at cash there was a festive looking mini lip Bite pocket.  Now do I not only have one lip pencil but four to try out! yay so excite!!!!
Next we have Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara.  This wasn't exactly a Birthday present but a redeemable card I had from a sample mascara product I had purchased a long time ago.  I decided to choose this one as I thought it was the best out of what there was to choose from.
And of course we have the Sephora birthday present from well, you guessed it, Sephora! Makeup Forever Smokey Extravagant mini mascara and a Makeup Forever mini lipstick!  Thank you Sephora! 

We have a few mini candles from Bath and Body Works.  I find their candles to be true to the scent they are unlit-that's a good thing!
I also got a Mac Limited Edition lipstick, I'm obsessed with mac lipsticks so if anyone can't figure out what to get me this is probably a good guess. The shade is in Rebel.  Some of you may be wondering why I spent extra money for the limited edition on a color that's in the permanent line.  Well one because I didn't get in to a Mac outlet right when this line came out, #ruralproblems. Secondly, we all pay an extra $2 for 3D glasses when going to the movies and only use them for 3 hours, why can't I spend an extra 4$ for a cool lip tube!!??
I also got just a couple spoonfuls of Davids Tea in the flavor Organic Japanese Sencha.   I like to drink green tea because it boosts your metabolism and allows your system to keep on the right track at all times.  Also how could I resist getting anything Japanese.

Next we have an online order of Melt cosmetics.  The first time I seen this brand was on Instagram, and yes, I instantly fell in love with it!  I'm not going to tell you the shades that were purchased, you're just going to have to wait until a review comes up! (#reviewiscomingshortly).
Also I am waiting on another online order that has yet to be received.  I just couldn't wait any longer!  I may edit this post but there will be a review on it that's for sure!  I don't want to give any spoilers but the brand starts with an S and ends with a leek.  That's pretty darn exciting if I do say so myself!

oh perfect! how could I get all of this makeup without any makeup case?  These bags are great for travel if you want to just throw a few pieces in for on the go.

 

 Next I got this beautiful Swarovski heart necklace.  The shines on these crystals could blind somebody I swear!

Last but not least, I received this Tiffany necklace.  Now the chain on this piece is so delicate I feel as though one tiny tug and it will break, which is actually probably the case and I wouldn't suggest trying it haha. I actually cannot express how much this necklace means to me, it is more than just a Tiffany necklace.  And that is what these types of things are supposed to be in my opinion.   Unless you're rich as frig and get these kinds of things on a regular basis! than poo on you.

Again, like I stated before starting this post, I am feeling extremely blessed, loved, and supported by everybody surrounding me in my life at this current time.  I couldn't wish for any more!  Thank you for all of the love you guys have given me! Everything here is appreciated and will be used to its fullest! And yes, I had an excellent 22nd birthday!
