Or something like that. I love makeup. I love all makeup. But the makeup I love most of all is lipstick. I love it because I can change lipstick shades ten times a day if I want. A good red lipstick always makes me feel pulled together. I can be a complete mess, but lipstick can always save the day. I love all the finishes, textures, shades, colors, glosses, stains, balms....the options are endless. And it is so much fun to explore and play with. With that in mind I've put together a post on my favorite Fall lipsticks.
These lipsticks are all Fall appropriate. They run the gauntlet from deep berries to vampy reds to warm nudes. I think with this post I cover it all.
1. MAC Rebel My love for this lipstick is endless. It's $16 and stunning. The only way one can truly describe it is to say that it's the darkest pink you can imagine. MAC describes it as a deep plum. That sums it up pretty well. It's a gorgeous satin finish. It's vampy, vibrant, and so much fun.
2. Urban Decay F-Bomb $22 is a touch pricey for a lipstick. But I've never met a red a love so much. It's a truly classic red with a blue undertone that makes teeth look whiter. It's creamy, buttery, vibrant, and super intensely pigmented. It's my idea of the perfect red lipstick. And every girl needs a perfect red lipstick. It's the LBD of lipsticks. I am in love.
3. MAC Heroine This baby runs $16 and it's worth every penny. It's a perfect vibrant matte shade. It's a super intense purple. It takes a brave girl to pull it off. But I can guarantee you that you can do it. It's stunning.
4. Maybelline Color Sensational Creamy Matte in Lust for Blush I am constantly proclaiming the virtue of this lipstick. It's the perfect neutral pink. Creamy, soft, and matte. It's a buttery matte which is basically impossible to come by. It's a beautiful lipstick and at $5.50 you cannot beat it.
5. NYX Butter LIpstick in Big Cherry This is my go-to, everyday red. It's a butter lipstick so it's very easy to wear. It's vibrant and pretty richly pigmented, but it feels like you're wearing a lip balm. Urban Decay's F-Bomb may be my all time favorite red, but this is probably my most worn. Because it's easy. It doesn't even require a lipliner. It's just magic. And all that magic for only $6
6. Maybelline Color Sensational Creamy Matte in Touch of Spice This beauty is the perfect matte brown. It's a brown lipstick. For me the idea of a brown lipstick is drab and overwhelming. I love brights. I don't even know how to wear brown lipstick. But this one is wearable. In fact it's easy to wear. The tones in this lipstick are basically universally flattering. This sounds crazy, but it's a bold and exciting neutral that anyone can pull of and hello $5.50.
7. Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Moss in 09 This shade is beautiful. It's a universally flattering red with blue undertones. It's dark and has a pinkishness to it without ever being pink. It's practically flawless and runs for less than $5 if you can find it at Target. It's beautiful.
I could go on for days, but these are my favorites.

October Favorite 2014.
So I'm late to the game. We're almost halfway through November, but here they are. My favorite products for the month of October.
1. It's a 10 Miracle Leave-in Product. $18This stuff makes my dry, curly hair...well, less dry. It's a serious miracle. It's one of the only reason I can manage my insane hair. I have dry hair. This stuff makes my hair feel soft. I don't know if my hair had ever felt soft prior to this stuff making it's way into my life. I am obsessed. Like in love, can't live without it, I must have back up bottles obsessed.
2. Essie Spa Pedicure Swept off my Feet nourishing oil. $10.99 Dry, cracked heels are just part of my lot in life. I have accepted that. But this stuff is a game changer. I'm going to get my hands on the foot cream ASAP. I rub this oil into my heels post shower, let it dry, add some lotion, and slip on some fuzzy socks. And it's helping. A lot. My feet have never felt this soft. It's amazing.
3. OPI San Francisco Nail Lacquer in Keeping Suzi at Bay $9.50This nail polish is gorgeous. It's the perfect dark blue/navy for Fall. It's pretty, deep, and very autumny. It looks absolutely gorgeous with a paired with a silver or gold glitter. I am completely hooked.
4. Maybelline Color Sensational Creamy Matte Lip Color in Lust for Blush $7.99 (Target has it for $5.50!) This lip color is practically Fall perfection. It's not a nude. It's not a pinky pink. It's just this perfect creamy, rosy, matte pinkish color. Sort of muave, but sort of rosy. It's soft and creamy. It has the typical Maybelline lipstick smell, which I don't care for, but that fades quickly and the color and formulation of this lipstick are worth the less than perfect scent. It's beautiful. I also cannot get enough of Touch of Spice and Divine Wine. These lipsticks are amazing.
5. The Balm Mary-Lou Manizer Highlighting Powder $24 This is an intense highlight. But I love it. It's smooth and creamy. It's shimmery, but there's no real glitter involved. It gives that perfect inner glow. You just need to have a light hand when applying it. A little goes a LONG way. It's a beautiful color. It's perfect for the tops of cheek bones and the inner corner of eyes. It's a perfect highlight and it's so intense that it'l last forever because it takes such a small amount. I am in love.
6. L'Oreal Infallible Eyeshadow in Amber Rush $6.99 I've been singing the virtues of these amazing L'Oreal eyeshadows for ages. But I looked over this one for years. I don't know why. Amber Rush is the perfect shade for every eye color. All of the shadows in this collection are on point. They are shimmery, smooth, creamy...they're are butter on your eyes. And the colors POP. But this one. This one is absolute magic. It's transforming. It's beautiful. You cannot go wrong with this color. Or this price.
7. Nyx Slim Lip Pencil in Plum $3.49 This lip liner is perfect for a vampy fall lip. It looks great with Mac's Rebel and is about $12 less than a Mac liner. What's not to love about that?
8. Jane Cosmetics Water-Resistant Eyeliner in Black $6 If you line your waterline you need this eyeliner in your life. Yesterday. It's all you need for the perfectly lined waterline. It's dark and richly pigmented. It's water resistant. It doesn't smudge and smear. It's easy to apply. And it's $6. Thank you Jane Cosmetics for making something so perfect.
9. Tangle Teezer Salon Elite $8.95 I've had this brush for over a year now. It has completely changed my life. It can be used on wet of dry hair. I get out of the shower, towel dry my hair gently, spray my It's a 10 into my hair, and then use this brush to comb through my hair. It's wonderful. It detangles my insane hair. It makes the detangling process easy. And it feels like a massage for your scalp. I don't think I could love a brush more than I love this baby. It's magic.

Yes....I am a make up addict
Make up has been my "thing" for a long time. Although there was a brief period a few years ago where I momentarily swore off of it in search of my more natural "hippie" self. That didn't last too long and I've been make with a vengeance for a while now. There was a lot of wasted time and missed products to make up for. I am obsessed. And I am completely okay with that. From Maybelline to Urban Decay. From Loreal to Mac. I love it all. Bright colors. Neutrals. Sparkle, matte, glitter. It's all beautiful in my eyes. There isn't a color, finish, texture that won't grace my eyelids. Red lips, nude lips, purple lips. I love it all. So this is where I dive into sharing my addiction with the rest of the world.
