It's beginning to cool off drastically here in Tennessee, and that means re-vamping my makeup routine, wardrobe, and activities to revolve around the fall. Personally, I love this season but am a very cold-natured person... so you'll find me bundled up from now until spring. If you're also taking your routine and wardrobe into the cooler months, take a look at my top ten things I am loving this fall! (in no particular order)
1.
E.L.F. Studio Makeup Mist & Set
The first item on my favorites list is new to my makeup
collection. I have never used setting sprays in the past, and honestly didn’t
know if they were worth the hype. When buying a completely new type of product,
I like to stick to lower-end price points so that I don’t feel like I’ve wasted
my money if I don’t like it. However, this product has surprised me! When I use
this product after I apply makeup, and it makes it last
substantially longer than normal. This light mist is full of vitamins, and
helps keep your skin moisturized and radiant all day long. It’s only $3.00, and
can be found at Target or online at ELF's website.
2.
IT Cosmetics “Bye Bye Under Eye” Concealer
This is by far the thickest concealer I have ever tried.
Before this product, the most heavy-duty concealer I owned was boi-ing from
benefit, but this stuff knocks benefits out of the park. Although it feels
really thick when applying, it blends out to a really nice finish. I have hereditary dark circles under my eyes,
and this product covers them with what looks like an airbrushed finish. It's
waterproof, doesn’t crease, and has anti-aging properties. What’s not to love?
I bought this concealer from Ulta's website.
3.
Jesse’s Girl waterproof liquid eyeliner
This product was featured in Ipsy's September glam room, but
I did not receive it in my bag. I wanted to try it so badly I just went out on
a limb and bought it! By using the coupon code that came with the monthly
offers, I got this product at a discounted price. Instead of a felt tip like
most other liquid liner pens, this one is a brush. The ultra-thin brush is
perfect for creating a subtle wing. And the waterproof claim is an
understatement. If you mess up when applying, it takes some serious work to fix
it! I even cried with this stuff on and it didn’t budge! Crying is not my
favorite… but this eyeliner definitely is! You can find it on the Jesses Girl website. for $6.99.
4.
E.L.F. Eyebrow Kit
This fall favorite is pretty self-explanatory. Using an
angled brow brush or the tiny one that comes in the packaging, define your brows with the darker
shade of gel. Then using the other side of the brush, fill in your browns with
the lighter powder. This brow kit gets the job done, plain and simple. It is
$3.00 and can be found at target or on the ELF website. I have pretty dark
brows so I have the shade “medium”.
5.
Lip scrubs
Fall is when the air starts getting cooler, the leaves
change colors, and my lips get CHAPPED. Lip scrubs are my saving grace from the
month of October until March. Lip scrubs come in all shapes and sizes, and can
be in the form of a stick, or in a pot. The main idea is to exfoliate your lips
to get all the dead skin off before applying a balm, stain, or lipstick. Not
only does this allow your lips to be as soft and smooth as humanly possible,
but it will actually help your lip color stay on longer. If you’re like me and
your lips are very dry during the winter, take my advice and buy a lip scrub.
You’ll thank me later.
6.
Rimmel Kate Moss 103
I'm relatively new to the wear-lipstick-all-the-time gang, as I have always loved tinted balms and stains over lipsticks. However, the Rimmel lipsticks by Kate Moss are what got me into loving lipstick. Specifically the matte finish ones. I have this shade, and also a darker red shade (107). This dark pink shade is the perfect daytime lipstick for the fall, and can easily be topped with a dark berry gloss to transition into a nighttime look. This lipstick has been in my purse everyday since I bought it and I don't plan on it going anywhere anytime soon.
7.
Patagonia Pullover
Luckily, I have the sweetest fiance in the whole wide world who decided that it was time for me to own a patagonia pullover. I have been eyeing these for over a year, but could never pull the trigger to spend that much money on a jacket. He so lovingly surprised me with this one, and it is SO cozy. The style is called the "Re-Tool Snap-T Pullover" and I own it in the color Teal Green. You can find this one and many more colors at the Patagonia website.
8.
Infinity Scarves
Scarves are the perfect fall accessory because they serve more than one purpose. Not only do they keep your neck and face warm, but they can add to your outfit and make a look complete. My two favorite scarves for this season are these two infinity scarves that I picked up at H&M for $5.99 each. They had many different colors, but I chose these two because they go with most of my winter sweaters.
9.
The Knot Complete Guide to Weddings
This favorite item is an exciting one! I am getting married in a little less than 11 months, and this book has been such a help in understanding the planning process. My Dad has been married twice but eloped both times, so I am really on my own in the whole researching/planning game. Trust me, my fiance is going to be helping in some of the decisions, but if I told him about everything in this book his head would explode. This guide has helpful checklists, tips on etiquette and traditions, and easy to read diagrams and pictures. I highly recommend this book to any bride-to-be out there.
10.
iTunes Radio
Don't get me wrong... Pandora is great. But iTunes radio is slowly but surely winning me over. It has so many useful features that I am obsessed with. First Play is a feature that allows you to listen to an entire album before it even comes out! For a few days before the release, certain artists are featured on one of the "stations" on the home page. You can listen to the album as many times as you want for free up until the release date! iTunes radio is also connected to your itunes account, so you can save a song to a "wish list" while you are listening and go back and purchase the song later. Or, you can click purchase song right while it's playing! How convenient!
I hope you enjoyed perusing my top 10 items for the fall. Comment below and let me know what you would add to the list!
