Everyday Makeup: Fall

So I've done lots of these... I think I'll do a new one every season. So this is my fall version. I hope you find this helpful in some way shape or form ;)

First I wash my face with my Clean and Clear Morning Burst fruit infusions face wash (it's the orange kind) then i use my moisterizer (Clean & Clear Dual Action). Next I use my Maybelline 8-in-1 (yes... EIGHT!) Dream BB Cream to cover up redness, then i use the Maybelline fit me concealer underneath my eyes, on my eyelids, and on any pimples that i have. Then I put on my Maybelline fit me power with a big fluffy brush to soak up any oily-ness. Then for blush i use the NYX Cream blush in Glow. For my eyes, i keep it very simple. I just use my One by One mascara from Maybelline, and then the middle color in the Covergirl Trio in Shimmering Sands all over my eyelid. For lips i use my EOS lipbalm (the strawberry one) then i use my Revlon lip butter in Peach Parfait. So that's it! :)

Fall Beauty Essentials

I am so so SO excited for fall! It is my favorite time of year. It just makes you feel so warm and cozy. And I loooooove cool weather, so i am totally a fall girl! So, back to the post, these are my fall beauty essentials. Enjoy!



Scents:

1. Vera Wang Princess
ahhh this smells SO SO good! I got one of those little paper things where you flip open the side and you can smell it, and it seriously smells like heaven. I'd reccomend with any scent buying the rollerball version first so that you can see if you like it for sure and so that you wont have wasted almost $50. Also the packaging is adorable. 

$18-75 from Sephora

2. DKNY Be Delicious 
This also smells sooo good! It's super fruity and it smells like green apples and other epic stuff. I think it's a great scent for any time of the year! It's a really nice scent for spring and summer, but also for fall and winter for a more fun scent. 

$23-80 from Sephora

3. B&BW Black Raspberry Vanilla (online only)
This is totally my favorite scent of all time. It smells like HEAVEN!! It is perfect for fall. It smells pretty much like the name says; like black raspeberries and a hint of vanilla 

$14 from Bath and Body Works


Hair:

1. Messy Bun
I looooooooooove this hairstyle! It is perfect for pretty much everything. You can make it casual or make it dressy. It is just adorable! 

So here's a picture of what it looks like. (This isn't me, just a picture i found on Google)

2. High Messy Ponytail
This is also a SUPER cute hairstyle and it's soooo cute. 

Here's a picture of what it looks like! When I wear it, it looks a little different because my hair is shorter than this girl's hair, but it still looks adorable!


Makeup:


1. Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation 
I don't own this foundation, but from what I've heard this is the best one out there :) 

$43 from Sephora 

2. Benifit Boi-ing Concealer
This is super creamey and perfect for covering blemishes!

$20 from Benefit.com

3. NYX Cream Blush
I loooove this blush! It's super super pigmented and it is such a pretty color! 

$7 from Ulta

4. Clinique High Impact Mascara
This mascara is super pretty! I tried it on at the Clinique counter at Macy's and it makes my eyelashes look amazing! 

$16 from Sephora

5. Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Buck
This is the perfect matte crease color for everyday wear in the fall!

$18 from Ulta

6. Revlon Lip Butter in Raspberry Pie
I am in love with these lip butters! I have four of them, and they are amazing! This is the perfect raspberry lip color for fall. 

$7 from Target



I hope you liked this post! Give me feedback in the comments about what you would like me to post :)

Be Yourself.

So. This is something different from what i usually do. This is all about body image and being yourself.  There's always a pressure for girls to be perfect. Tiny butt. Skinny legs. Flat tummy. But obviously that is not reality. For the past few months I've been going through this thing where i felt i had to be like everyone else. I wanted to be one of those perfect Barbie doll girls. But that isn't normal. Being pretty shouldn't be having a three inch space in between your legs or a flat stomach. Being truly beautiful is being yourself.  Everyone is beautiful inside, and out. Most people don't realize that their biggest critic is themself. Nobody notices that pimple on your chin, or the "bigness" of your feet. So when you get dressed tomorrow morning, be confident about yourself. No matter what shape or size you are, you are so, so beautiful, no matter how many people say you aren't. Don't try to be like everyone else. Be different. Be yourself.



"If your lucky enough to be different, don't ever change." ~ Taylor Swift



Stay strong and remember that you don't have to fit the mold to be beautiful. ♥
