Go To Brow Guide

Eyebrows have come a long way. Let’s reflect for two seconds and happily mourn that thin parentheses eyebrows are a thing of the past now...if you don’t know what I’m talking about...just google Lily Van der Woodsen from Gossip Girl and you’ll see what I mean. Praise the greatness of Lily Collins and Cara Delevingne’s eyebrows!! They’re full, shapely, and make a statement. Thankfully I fall into the latter category, even if it means I regularly have to maintain them.

The October Look

I'm putting this post together with my Marshmellow Fireside candle burning and another episode of Brooklyn 99 on my iPad. The weather has cooled down about ten degrees too and I'm breaking out the plaid. Make up wise I'm keeping up the autumnal warm tones on my eyes. My love of a matte eye is still going, but for this look, I went with the more shimmery half of my new Lorac Mega Pro 3 palette. This palette is literally me if I was made up of 32 eyeshadows. For this look I kept things warm on the eyes and medium coverage on the skin.

Liquid Lipsticks

There must be something in the water around here because suddenly I have a thing for lipstick. If anyone knows me really well, they'll know that I never wear color on my lips. It just wasn't my thing for so long but I always lusted after my friends who were able to pull it off and wear it with ease. Like, props to my friends, I love you guys and your lipsticks.
