I've been terribly sick with a fever lately, so what better thing to do than curl up under a cozy blanket, drink tea and watch youtube? Not that I don't do that everyday... IRREGARDLESS. I found this tag done by makeupTIA and I figured I'd give it a shot because I absolutely love fall (minus the allergies that are quite obviously trying to kill me); something about the crisp, fall air and sipping on your hot coffee while bundled up in a cozy scarf just screams comfort to me. So, enough talking writing; here we go!
BEAUTY FAVES
1. Face product: I don't want to give up my summer glow just yet. Not that I ever really had one to begin with (Irish girl probs), but I think a nice glow goes great for the beginning of the fall. Enter: Pixi Flawless Beauty Primer. Yes, yes, I know it's a primer, but dotting it along your cheekbone and browbone gives you this wonderful shimmer/shine/don't-I-look-lovely kinda thing. Just trust me on this one.
2. Cheek product: I do need to work on getting a berry-colored blush... maybe Rocketeur from Benefit? Right now I've been loving my Mary Kay Shy blush, but I'm thinking that sparkly pink should end with the summer.
3. Eye product: Winged liquid liner! I've been loving my Maybelline Master Precise felt tip liner for a more elegant look than the basic mascara
4. Lip product: I'm so not big on lip color, but I love me some lip balm. You can find me multiple times a day slathering on Burt's Bees.
5. Hair product: I'm finding myself to be very boring... I don't often change up my hair products or hair care. I use a Critical Care Serum by BioInfusions on my hair everyday after showering that makes my hair feel smooth and soft.
6. Fragrance / candle:
I love me some darker, muskier scents for fall. A new scent I've been legitimately obsessed with is Juicy Couture's Viva La Juicy Gold Couture. As for candles, fall scents kill me! Caramel Pumpkin Swirl by Bath & Body Works is to die for. To. Die. For.
7. Nail polish: I couldn't possibly choose a favorite... Several nail colors that you can find on my fingers in the fall are as follows: OPI Got the Blues for Red, Essie Warm & Toasty Turtleneck, and Essie Under the Twilight.
FALL FASHION FAVES
1. Trendy clothing item: I'm not so sure I go along with trends anymore... Although I totally love the kimono/cardigan kind of look! I'm sure I'll end up purchasing some kind of mix between the two this fall.
2. Comfy clothing item: Scarves and cardigans forever. Also, fuzzy socks.
3. Shoes: Over-the-knee boots! Working at DSW certainly has its perks...
4. Accessory: Scarves! Can I use that again? I'm totally using that again.
FUN FAVES
1. Halloween or Thanksgiving: Thanksgiving! Ever since graduating college, I find that it's no longer acceptable to get all dolled up in a skanky outfit and get completely sloshed at a party/bar. Sad times, people. Alas, the fat girl inside of me is choosing Thanksgiving.
2. Favorite festive food and/or drink: Pumpkin bread! Carrot cake! Red sangria!
3. What's the happiest part about fall for you: I'm someone who will actually go out of their way to step on a crunchy leaf. I'll also go out of my way to take the long way home to view all of the pretty trees slowly changing color.
4. Who do you tag: You!
