                                                            Favorite Fall lip products?

Really just Chapstick and any lipstick/gloss I feel like wearing that day. But mostly some type of lip balm because my lips tend to get really dry!

Favorite Fall nail polishes?
Anything dark but I will red or pink or something bright! 

Favorite fall beverages?

It would have to be hot chocolate or really anything hahaha maybe some vanilla chai! Even something cold like a soda. Really depends the mood I'm in!

Favorite Fall scents?
Anything musky or sweet smelling. Such as Pumpkin Pie or Vanilla.

Favorite Fall memory?
Gathering leaves with my sister and putting them on our trampoline and jumping! So much fun with the leaves all flying around you! Also when I was in kindergarten and we'd go to the pumpkin patch!

Halloween Challenge Day 6: Devil/Angel!

 So today's look was to do a Devil/Angel. I just decided to do both hahaha! I thought eh why not? So if you choose a certain side be it devil or angel you just copy the side you choose onto the other side! But anyways I liked this one and it looked hella better in person. My mom really liked it! I had to go to Lowe's with my husband afterwards and my mom was like "Why don't you just go out like that?" Uh.... No thank you hahaha so I had to rush and wash my face off.

So onto the instructions:
1. I worked on the devil side first so I took a matte red shadow and put it on my lid.
2. Then cut the crease with a black shadow and blended that out.
3. I took the same matte red shadow and put it above the black and blended it out towards my brow.
4. I then took the matte red and a bit of the black and added that above my outer brow out towards my hairline.
5. I then drew in my brow with a matte black eyeshadow.
6. I added some dark contour and a red blush.
7. I then added red lipstick on half of my lips and then outlined it with black eyeliner and blended that out.
8. I added red glitter on my lid.
9. Added some lashes and you are done!!

1. I then worked on the Angel side. I took a shimmery white and added it on my lid.
2. I then took a light blue and added that to my crease and outer V and blended that out a little bit above my crease.
3. I took a slightly darker blue and used that in my crease to give it some definition.
4. I then added my lashes and black liner.
5. For my lips I used a frosty pink lipstick.
6. I went back and added a frosty white to my inner corner just to brighten it up a bit.
7. I added silver liner to my lower lashline and You are done!

I hope you guys enjoyed this look! Thank you for reading!!! :)

Halloween Challenge Day 5: Fairy!

So today's look was a Fairy look. I decided to go with a dark fairy look. I really don't like this one. But I had so much stuff to do today that I just kind of put it all together as I went.
Instructions:
1. I already had my foundation so I went in with a black eyeliner pencil and drew out the shape that I wanted.
2. I then went in with black eyeshadow to blend out the edges which I really didn't do a good job.
3. I then went in with a purple eyeshadow and blended it into the black and a bit out so you could see it.
4. I then took a teal and blended it into the purple.
5. I went in with a black eyeshadow and defined my crease and kind of too make my eyes look bigger.
6. I added a teal to my brow bone.
7. I then added some big dramatic lashes.
8. I drew in my brows a bit darker.
8. I added some blue rhinestones above my brows. (which you can barely see because they are tiny!)
9. I added Maybelline's Fuschia Fever to my lips and went around it with a black eyeliner pencil and blended it out to give it some dark definition.
10. I added silver glitter liner to the circles on the bottom part of the shape, also under my lower lashline, my inner tear duct and on the lines above my brows.
11. TADA!!! you are done!

I hope you guys liked this look although to me it kind of looks sloppy :/ Thank you for reading!

Halloween Challenge Day 4: Zombie!

So today's challenge was to be a Zombie! I liked how this turned out but it could have been better! But anyways in person it was real scary!
So for the instructions on how to recreate it:
1. I tried to cover my brows using the gluestick method! hahaha fail!!
2. I then started adding black eyeshadow around my nose, mouth, forehead and eyes.
3. I took a matte burgundy and went in around the black to make it look bruised.
4. I then added  blood coming out of nose and mouth to kind of add to the effect.
5. I tried to make my hair gross looking.
6. DONE!





















So that was pretty darn easy huh?! I really do like this look. It would have been awesome if I had some scary contacts. And this is my real eye color. It's just that when I use dark eyeshadows the color tends to lean towards red. Anywho thank you for reading!

XOXO

Halloween Challenge Day 3: Doll

Ok so the next challenge was to do Doll makeup and here is mine although it's late! oops! But anyways here it is! So the steps are as follows:

1. I covered my brows using the glue stick method.
2. I did my regular foundation.
3. I then added blush. I just used a super bright pinkish reddish blush.
4. I then did my lips. I applied concealer to wipe them out then the the little doll pucker using a pinkish lipstick.
5. Next I did the white under my lower lash line to make it look like I had bigger eyes.
6. I added my brows which were obviously drawn higher than my normal brows again to give the illusion of bigger eyes.
7. I then added pinky eyeshadows and then topped it off with big dramatic lashes.
8. I added lashes on the bottom and lined on the extra space so it wouldn't look weird.
9. I finished it off with a big pink bow!
10. Tada!! You are done!

You can obviously use different colors for your blush, lips and eyes but I decided to go with a pink palette. I hope you guys enjoyed this look and go check out Esme's look on her blog!

1. I applied a really light concealer as my foundation and set it with a translucent powder.
2. I took a black creme shadow pencil and used it as my shadow base.
3. I took a red shadow into my crease and a little above my brow bone.
4. I took a black shadow and put it on my lid and blended it out with the red.
5. I also took the black creme pencil on my lower lashline and set it with a black shadow.
6. I lined my waterline and my lower lashline and added mascara.
7. I drew in my brows with my regular brow color but looking now a darker one would probably have been better.
8. I contoured with a dark bronzer and a dark blush.
9. I then added a red lipstick and used black creme makeup from the Halloween kits to darken up my lips.
10. I then added the fangs and fake blood.
