Whew! It has been a very long time since I've put up a post on the vanity table! Sheesh! I'll work on changing that. I'm trying to be more active on here and on the nail blog. As I mentioned on the nail blog, things have just been crazy and being pregnant makes me tired. I'm struggling to find the energy to blog.
Let's jump right in. Now that the weather is giving peeps of cooler temperatures, I've been in the mood for some of my deeper fragrances. I've pulled out two great fall perfumes. The first is a Bath & Body Works Eau De Toilette in Sensual Amber. This one is really nice alone as well as layered with things like vanilla. Mmmm! I've given a full review on it HERE.
The second fragrance is wildly popular and well known. It is Thierry Mugler Alien. While I do have the EDP (eau de parfume), the particular one I have been wearing recently is the EDT (eau de toilette). I dab on only the tiniest of bits, otherwise it becomes extremely overpowering. I haven't put up a review on the EDT as of yet, but it is very similar to the EDP...so, if you'd like to see my full review on that one, it can be found HERE.
This past month I've been reaching for these two eyeliners quite often. The first is by Ulta and it is in the color Moss. I've been wearing it on the upper and the lower lid. I like to smudge it out just a bit. The second liner I constantly reach for is the very popular Rimmel ScandalEyes in Nude. I've only worn this on my waterline. I love that it takes away any redness from lack of sleep and gives me a wonderful bright-eyed look. I highly recommend that to EVERYONE!
For my shadows I have gone more fallish. I'm really loving the autumn-like colors in my makeup. The two that I've gone for most frequently are Wet n Wild Envy and Ulta Safari. They're both so pigmented and rich. The Wet n Wild one is, admittedly, more buttery. Both are beautiful, though!
I am a huge fan of stains. I love them for hot weather because they last so well and are lightweight. I love them for the cool weather because they look very natural and wind-kissed. Let's just agree that they are awesome all the time. The first one is Vincent Longo in the color Liquid Kiss. The second is Pixi Sheer Cheek Gel in Rosy. These are both good reds. They look amazing on the cheeks AND the lips. The Vincent Longo one is a touch more berry-red in its coloring while the Pixi one is more of a true red.
I know people prefer to see swatches as they'd be worn, but I didn't prepare ahead and take photos as I wore them. Sorry!
