I have previously done a post on some of my top bold lippies that are perfect for fall. You can check them out here. Its been a year since I did the last one so now I would like to update you on the current fall lippies. I actually narrowed down to two so I can give a better review. I initially had three, which included "Endless Purple" by Sephora Collection but unfortunately  it has been discontinued and I wanted to include only products that you can still find in the market. This was one of my favorite lip cream. I hope Sephora brings it back but for now lets talk about these two bold and beautiful.

First up is the Viva Glam III by MAC. It is a beautiful deep brownish red with plum undertone. It has a matte finish. The lasting power for MAC's matte lipsticks is something to be really grateful for. If you're looking for a deep/dark lipstick for the fall or for a night out and are afraid to try something too dark (vampy), then this is a perfect lipstick for you. It is definitely bold but its not too loud. This lipstick can be worn with any makeup looks and will look great on any skin tone because it's one of those colors that are in the middle and looks great on everyone. I would also like to add that this lipstick actually looks different on different skin, but in a good way. Funny story I want to share. I bought this lipstick a year ago, but every time I go in to MAC I pick this lipstick up thinking WOW! What a beautiful color, there was a time when I actually purchased this lipstick and brought it home to only realize that I already have it. I bought it thinking I didn't have this color because I forgot which Viva Glam lipstick I had. Well now you know how beautiful this lipstick is. It always catches my attention. The plummy undertone makes this lipstick very unique. If you're looking something a little settle and not too dark then this will be perfect. (excuse my henna stain on the pictures)

Next is the famous Diva! Well at least it's very famous in my friend circle. All my friends actually love this lipstick and I'm not surprised at all. This is your straight up deep burgundy lipstick with a matte finish. This lipstick is so rich and glamorous. You'll look like a million bucks with this lipstick. This is the perfect lipstick for fall/winter and for any occasions. I love this lipsticks on brides. A lot of people find it a little drying but I find it pretty creamy and it glides on very easily  Both of these lipsticks last forever without smudging or bleeding.

These are just two of my fall favorites, thanks for reading.

I'm here with a product review, finally!  Today I'll be reviewing ELF's Studio Baked Eye shadows. Don't underestimate ELF cosmetics because they will surprise you. ELF is so affordable that you would think the quality of their product won't meet your expectations. However, I was never disappointed. Some of my all time favorite makeup products are from ELF.

ELF came up with these eye shadows a few years ago and after seeing a video on Youtube By KathleenLights, I had to try them out. The shades I got are the following Burnt Plum, Bark, Moonlight Serenade and Chocolate Dream.

ELF claims them to be highly pigmented with a silky bendable formula. I will agree on the silky and bendable formula part but not so much on the highly pigmentation part when applied dry. It swatches great on your fingers but when you take your fingers and swatch it on your skin it looses half of it's pigmentation and same goes for when you apply it on your eyelids. That sucks right? But fear not! These eye shadows work amazing when applied wet. The color payoff is there, as well as the beautiful pigmentation. The color you get is exactly the same color you see in the packaging. I love using these colors to do smokey eye looks. I know I will be taking advantage of these colors this Fall. Moonlight Serenade looks wonderful as a highlighter. I would say this would be a dupe for NARS Albatross, except Albatross has a better longevity and pigmentation but it would do the job if you are looking for an affordable alternatives.

This retails for $3.00 and has the cutest packaging. They kind of remind me of macaroons. It's very sleek and very compatible.

It was very hard to narrow it down to just six products. I guess this is what happens when you decide to take a break from monthly favorites posts. I was never really a blush kinda girl, because I always found it looking too much. I normally wear very minimal makeup, so I used to avoid wearing blushes. After trying some blushes from my cousin, I think I might just be a blush kinda girl because now I can't wear makeup without putting blush. I also have two new nude lipstick addition as well as very affordable eye lid primer.

Modern Mandarin by MAC

Modern Mandarin by MAC Cosmetics is a beautiful peachy-orange blush. It has a very warm undertone. This looks amazing for a day look or a night look. I been wearing this mostly during the day because its bright and vibrant and it looks great on my medium skin.

Seduction by NARS

Seduction by NARS just screams Fall to me. As soon as I saw this blush I was like I have to own it. It is hands down the most beautiful blush I have seen. The color is so deep and plumy. I have been wearing this blush mostly for my night looks and sometimes for my day looks as well but since Fall is here this blush will be just perfect for day and night. Little goes a long way because the pigmentation is so great.

Albatross by NARS

Albatross by NARS is the best highlighter/blush you can own. It has the best pigmentation you can ask for. I don't know what I was doing with my life without this product. I use this almost everyday now and if i'm not using this i'm using my MAC Soft and Gentle. 

Taupe by MAC

Velvet Teddy by MAC

Taupe is a beautiful brownish nude and Velvet Teddy is more of a muted pinkish brownish nude. They look very similar in the pictures but they look very different on the lips. Mehr and Twig by MAC were my favorite nude lipstick of all time and these two are the new addition. They have great color payoff and the formula is matte but not drying.

Eyelid Primer by ELF Cosmetics

This product was $1! I really thought it would be crap and I only bought it try out elf cosmetic but let me tell you about this wonderful little guy. It works WONDERS! My eye shadow does not crease at all. I have worn this for 10+ hours and my eyeshadow stayed put. I will be stocking up on this product soon, hopefully elf didn't change the formula.

I hope this was helpful to you in some ways. I will do reviews on some of these products since I love them so much and I can talk passionately about them so stay tuned. Thank you for reading!
