So I am new to the blog world so I thought I would start off by sharing some of my current beauty faves. As the seasons change, the things I like change right along with them. Fall is my absolute favorite season and I am lucky enough to live in a state where I get the full fall experience. The weather here in good ole nebraska starts to change, the leaves start to fall, the temperature starts to drop and the days get much shorter. Some of my favorite things about fall include boots, brown leather, pumpkin patches, pumpkin spice candles and (while I am on the topic of pumpkins) everyones fav, the Starbucks pumpkin spice latte. When September hits and its time to hang up the flip flops and tank tops, I also must put away the summer makeup and sweet light perfumes.
CURRENT FALL BEAUTY LOVES:
- Laura Mercier Creme de Pistache Body Cream
I absolutely can not rave about this stuff enough. As you can see, I am already half way through this jar. The smell of this lotion is divine, I can't even count how many times people have stopped me to ask what perfume I am wearing. This stuff makes my skin so smooth and smell so good! If you are looking for a lotion that is a bit heavier for those months when your skin starts to get dry and splotchy, you definetly need to pop in to your nearest Laura Mercier counter.
- Laura Mercier Creme de Pistache Body Scrub
Along with my beloved Pistache body creme, I also have the body scrub. It smells exactly like the lotion (no suprise there) but is an awesome exfoiliator. It sloughs off dead skin and leaves it baby smooth. I will warn those of you who have sensitive skin, it is rather abrasive and grainy but I have tough skin so I haven't had a problem with it.
- MAC's Bite of an Apple Blush
This blush has amazing pigmentation. During the fall season, I find myself gravitating towards deeper shades of mauve and dark pinks/reds for my blush colors. I wasn't crazy about this MAC collection but when I saw photos for this blush I knew I had to check it out. It gives a nice rosey flush to the cheeks.
This blush is my fav mauve color. I have to admit when I first saw this blush at my CCO I was a bit intimadated but after I swatched it I knew it was going to be a favorite. I feel so edgey when I wear this blush and it also makes me look like I have more of a tan. FYI it is a sheer tone shimmer blush so it is easier to pull off than it appears.
I love how neutral gray, cream and tan nail polishes look against skin that still has a faint summer glow. They look best on short, round shaped nails. I feel slightly sophisticated when my nails look like the photo above : )
- Liquid Keratin Deep Conditioner
This stuff is the best for those of us who have thick, fine, and frizzy hair. The smell takes some getting used to but it works wonders to tame the frizz. After one day of using this my hair is so much softer and appears to be less damaged.
This perfume has a nice warm scent perfect for fall. It has notes of cinnamon, jasmine, Amber and Vanilla Bean. If I had to describe this scent in one word, I would say hippy. This is what I would imagine a modern day hippy to be wearing. But don't let me scare you by saying that, it smells nothing like the traditional patcholi.
