5 Things To Buy This Fall 2015!

Hello Beautiful!

So apparently I am writing a Fall related post on a very hot day today -how ironic!
This is my third post in the Fall 2015 series that I have started on my blog. My first post was about the 5 Lipsticks I chose that are perfect for Fall 2015 and then another post done on the amazing Fall Collection by HOBO by HUB. You can find the links to these at the very end of this post (:

Now I've been hooked to the New York Fashion Week and the trends for Pre-Fall and Fall itself and after lots of researches, comparisons and reviews I have made a list of 5 things that were seen in almost all the runways and collections for Fall this year. 5 things that you have got to get to complete or build your Fall outfit around! Suffice to say that you'll be seeing a lot of this, this season.

The 5 things you must buy this Fall 2015:

Scarf:

Take your fall outfit to the next level with a scarf! A perfect way to dress up your outfit this Fall. Scarves were spotted in the collections of Marc by Marc Jacobs, Tory Burch, Tommy Hilfiger, Public School and Coach at the New York Fashion Week for Fall 2015.

Turtle necks have been on every single runway in some form or fashion at the New York Fashion Week for Fall 2015! Tommy Hilfiger, Victoria Beckham (my FAV!), Prabal Gurung, Alexander Wang, Boss, Delpoza, Narciso Rodriguez, Oscar De La Renta, Rag & Bone, Opening Ceremony, Edun, DKNY you name it! Turtlenecks are a versatile piece that can be dressed up or dressed down and can be paired up and layered for so many looks!

I love how Fall fashion looks so comfy and cozy, makes me wanna grab a cup of coffee but no, who am I kidding? It's a 100 degree here where I live! Nonetheless Fall fashion is something I look forward to and enjoy following.
I tried my best to be thorough with this post and also provide you with options where you can buy the 5 things I believe are must-haves, you have all those designers and brands to prove *wink*

So which one will you be starting with? It'll be either a cape or turtleneck for me!

Until next time, Good Luck and Ciao!

Coral Love - Makeup of The Day (MOTD)

Hello beautiful!

As we all know Fall is right around the corner and for some it has already arrived. So before Summer is finally over for me I wanted to do something bright and coral! I have been loving corals so much this summer! For the makeup look today I went for warm shimmery eyes with a slight hint of peach in the crease and my favorite coral lipstick on the lips(of course!). I'm still a beginner when it comes to applying makeup but I try to do my best (:

Lips:

Steps:

Eyes:

1. After priming my eyes and setting them with Rimmel Stay Matte Powder just so the other shades can blend easily, I started blending the Peach Shade from Mikyajy Palette into my crease with Morphe MB23. I kept building the color little by little blending it well so there are no harsh lines until I was happy with the color or the intensity.
2. Next I blended Caramelized into the crease layering it over the Peach shade for more warmth.
3. I blended more with a clean MB 23 so that there are no harsh lines and it all looks blended.
4. With a shader brush I started packing Golden Lights on the lid, it looks so beautiful packed on, you can also use Fix Plus to intensify the color.
5. For more dimension I packed in a little Creme Brule on the outer corners and took it little into the crease but not all the way in. I kept it just on the outer corners of my eyes and blended it well so there are no harsh lines.
6. With an angled blending brush I applied Golden Lights as my brow-bone and inner corner highlight.
7. With Caramelized on a pencil brush I blended it well on the lower lash line.
8. After doing a winged eye liner and smudging the same on the lower lash line I applied two coats of mascara to my upper and bottom lashes.
9. Finished the eye makeup with NYX Milk on my waterline.

Face:

1. I moisturized my face with L'oreal Hydrating Gel and after letting it sink in for 10 minutes I applied my foundation on my face and neck with the Real Techniques Sponge in a stippling and tapping motion for that flawless finish.
2. For my under eye concealer I used the LA Pro Concealer and also highlighted with it on the bridge of my nose, between my eye brows, the cupid's bow and a little on my chin and blended it all with the Real Techniques Sponge.
3. I set the places I had applied the concealer with Rimmel Pressed Powder on e.l.f Studio Tapered Brush.
4. Using the Contour shade from the Sleek Contour Palette, I contoured my face ever so lightly with Real Techniques Contour Brush.
5. For my blush I used Shell Bronze for I'm currently obsessed with this blusher and highlighted my face with e.l.f blush gems with e.l.f studio blush brush
6. I set my face and blended everything with Real Techniques Powder Brush with a little Rimmel Pressed Powder on it.
7. At the end I applied my favorite lipstick Coral Tonic from Maybelline on my lips and we're finished with the makeup look (:

I hope you like this makeup look, I absolutely loved it, the soft shimmery eyes paired with a bright coral lipstick. Until the Fall is really not upon us we can still rock a bright coral lipstick or if you want, even in the Autumn, you do you boo! *wink*

Oh and that statement necklace is from Nishat Linen, it was love at first sight! :D

Let me know what you think about this makeup look and if you would want to see more, I love doing them! Hope you all have a great day!

Until next time, Good Luck and Ciao!

Maybelline Color Sensational Stripped Nudes - Coffee Craze

Hello beautiful!

I've been on a hunt for a perfect nude lipstick for months but whatever I got was either too peach or too pink or too too brown or completely washed me out! Do I sound picky? Well, what can I say, I want a perfect nude lipstick! When somebody told me to check out Coffee Craze I got it the very next day but did it impress me? Is it the perfect nude lipstick I've been looking for? Well read on to find out *wink*

What Maybelline Says?

My Thoughts:

Now from the beginning, Maybelline is one of my favorite brand from the drugstore/high streets so I knew I'd love the formula. Upon swatching Coffee Craze I really did love the formula. It was creamy with a satin finish and very comfortable on the lips, did not wash me out at all and so I bought it immediately.

Coffee Craze is a brown nude with neutral undertones. The packaging is that of a typical Maybelline Lipstick - pretty and sturdy and is travel friendly. The lipstick itself is in a bullet form and is cut in such a way that you can apply it directly to your lips for a very neat application. It's a satin finish that is moisturizing and hyderating to the lips, not sticky at all. I absolutely love Maybelline lipsticks' formula!

It compliments my NC 25 skin tone very well. It's not too peachy or too pink or too too brown, It has the right amount of brown in it. If only it had warm undertones, it would have been that perfect Nude Lipstick for me, I believe, since my skin tone has yellow undertones. BUT I'm not complaining because I love this lipstick!
I pair it with all my dramatic and smokey eye looks, also I use it on its own as in - no foundation - moisturizer - mascara or a little blush- Coffee Craze and I'm ready! Yes, it looks beautiful on me without any foundation or any other makeup. I'm really happy I got it!

              Natural Lips                                                  Coffe Craze Applied.

I'll rate this a 4.5 out of a 5, .5 because I wish it had more warm undertones. (Am I too picky or what?!)

What is your favorite Nude Lipstick and would it suit me? Let me know! (:
Please please suggest me a good Nude Lipstick as I want more and still looking for a perfect one that is more on a brown side and has warm undertone to suit my NC 25 skin tone. Your suggestions are always valuable for me.

Until next time, Good Luck and Ciao!

Lipsticks for Fall 2015

Hello beautiful!

Although it's hot outside where I live but I have been reading a lot of Fall related posts recently. So I decided to look up lipsticks perfect for this Fall/Autumn. After searching and researching, looking at swatches, reviews and comparing them I settled on these five lipstick I feel are perfect for Fall this year specially keeping in mind the Pantone Color of the Year 2015 "Marsala". Fall, I feel, is the perfect time to incorporate Marsala in our beauty and wardrobe. 

So let me just share the Lipsticks I feel are perfect for this Fall and definitely a nice way to get me out of my comfort zone of nudes and corals.

1. Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in Glam Plum Fulham:

          Glam Plum Fulham is such a pretty berry color that suits all skin tones and look incredibly beautiful specially in Autumn. I feel a good berry lipstick is a staple for Fall and Rimmel Glam Plum Fulham is exactly that.

2. YSL Rouge Volupte Shine - Fuchsia In Grunge No. 35: 

          Looks like a dirty plum in the bullet but YSL Fuchsia In Grunge is more of a mavey pink with plum undertones. Rouge Volupte Shine is always a treat for the lips - so smooth and hydrating! Perfect for Fall when our lips tend to dry. Like all the Rouge Volupte Shine lipsticks, it has a glossy finish and is sheer on the first application. This one in particular also has very subtle sparkle that doesn't look chunky or patchy at all, they aren't very noticeable anyway. The perfect for Fall for its plum undertones and perfect for people who like to keep it nice and subtle in Fall or don't want a very in-your-face plum color.

3. Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick - Bond Girl :

          I always try to say the names of Charlotte Tilbury's products in her accent; her accent is beautiful! This lipstick is a beautiful warm toned berry color with brown undertones and has a semi-matte finish but very comfortable on the lips. Appears a dark brownish berry on fair skinned gals but a very pretty nude berry color on dark skinned beauties! If you're ready to splurge then Charlotte Tilbury's Bond Girl is the way to go for this Fall! It's a treat for Autumn, the Marsala theme and your lips.

4. Colour Pop Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick - Avenue :

          Colour Pop Ultra Matte Liquid Lipsticks are all the rage right now! They set down to a super matte finish and are very pigmented - all that with a very small price tag! They've been a hit as soon as they came out. Out of all the shades (which they have a lot of, even blues and greens) I found Avenue to be perfect for this Fall and the Marsala theme. It's an almost muted medium-dark burgundy with cool undertones, although it is described as a "deep yellow red". It'll look beautiful in the Fall for it's pretty burgundy color.

5. Maybelline Color Sensational Creamy Mattes - Divine Wine :

          Maybelline is one of my favourite brand for lipsticks, they have the best formula for lipsticks in my opinion. Their creamy mattes are well, creamy mattes. Their matte but not super matte, more like a satin finish and are creamy and comfortable on the lips.

Divine Wine is a deep dark burgundy with warm reddish-brown undertones -perfect for Fall and the Marsala theme. It's the perfect Burgundy for this Fall without being vampy. This with thick voluminous lashes and deep-peachy cheeks and you're good to go - fresh and perfect for the Autumn!
