September Favorites

Hello Fall,

Okay better late than never but I am here to post my September favorites. First of all let me say how much I love this season, it's like spring without the pollen and much more fashion buzzing.But let me get down to it what did I love to wear ( both on my body as well as on my skin).

1. I am in love with pigments right now: get me a brush and some loose pigments and I am ready to pat, pat, pat it right on top of my eye-shadow base with a eye-shadow brush or two. Why? because it is just so vibrant and fun to work with, plus its stays on longer, just doesn't fade as fast as eye-shadows.

2. Speaking of pigments this fall I started obsessing over a metallic smokey eye. Tone down during the day, but more dramatic during the evening. Gold, Rust, Copper, you name it and I want to rock it with some black, mainly on the outer v of the eye lid. Oh, perfect time to mention L.A. Colors from the dollar store where I purchase loose pigments in Sunshine (gold), Radiant (copper), Lollipop (pink), black pearl (black). And I am loving them!! So vibrant and fun for only $1.00 a piece.

3. Speaking of dollar store, I was loving the dollar store for cute fall decor. Like faux leaves and vases. Coffee mugs and other cute little fall decor ideas to bring fall into your home. I also love grabbing cosmetic essentials like sponges, facial scrubbers to use with your face wash and cute loofahs. So go and check out your local dollar store and stock up on things this fall. Not to mention the gorgeous Christmas decorations they sell. I cant wait to get my hands on those!!

4. Water, agua!!! As the weather gets colder, your skin get drier. So make sure to moisturize from the inside out by drinking plenty of water in the fall. Just because the hot weather is gone doesn't mean you should pack away the water bottles.

5. Finally, I want to talk about wearing the cat eye with a neutral lip. You can use a liquid eyeliner, as low as $1.00 at Target from ELF, to draw that line out a little further than usual to create the cat eye look. Go for a bolder cat eye at night or a subtle cat eye during the day. Wear it alone or with eye shadow.
