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.

September Favorites

Ah, at last, September is over and I can get more excited about fall. Okay, well, just the temperature not being above 90 anymore. It's not sweater weather yet *sigh* but I'm making do with what I have, which is watching Hocus Pocus on repeat and staring at my calendar wishing it said 'December.' I also might have just gotten up to change my calendar over to October. I had a lot of downtime last month which gave me a chance to discover new things from makeup, television, and music.

Skincare Routine - September

September is literally the month of transitions in my world. But none of those transitions have to do with the fall, we just switch into Extended Summer as I call it. The one thing that has changed this month is my skincare routine, even though I wish it was the weather. *pouts* But my skin is getting better, so much that I love doing my skincare routine at night.

Autumnal Reds

I can't get too excited about autumn in Charleston when the temperature is still 80 around here. I'll just be festive on the inside and watch Hocus Pocus on repeat. Thankfully autumn makeup is more doable than me stepping out in a sweater and boots without dying of heatstroke. This fall, red is having its moment in makeup collections everywhere. At first, I was a little cautious about red eyeshadow most of all since I've never seen it on anyone before, but honestly Chanel has done it best with their new eyeshadow quad for fall. They have other pieces featuring beautiful shades of red but these eyeshadows spoke to me the most. Enough for me to finally break down and add this gem to my collection.

Nars Rigel

Besides coffee and my dogs, I really only care about one other thing and it's eyeshadow. Eyeshadow definitely makes up the biggest chunk of my collection and there's only room to grow. Some of my favorite eyeshadows come from Nars. But these aren't just any ordinary eyeshadows, no, they're even better. They're the Dual Intensity shadows that can be worn wet or dry depending on how I'm feeling that day. One top of the versatility, they're super shimmery and leave a metal-like look on the lids. Did I need to buy another one? Probably not. Did I? You bet.
