Guest Post: Favorite Fall Lipsticks!

*Anita and I did some guest posting for each other! Click here to see my Fall Outfit Ideas post.*

Hi everyone!

Fall is coming quicker as some of us want! (I can't wait though!) And this means my lipsticks get darker and browner.

I love switching my pinks and corals to browny, plummy colors. I personally wear lipstick everyday but you could also wear a lipgloss in a similar shade to the lipsticks I'm about to show you. I also know that Maybelline does a Babylips in a lovely plummy color called Grape Wine which gives a nice sheer but dark color.

I know these shades are all kind of similar but they do look more different in real life. The light kind of made them all look a little browny.

Maroon (Catrice), Hot Tahiti (MAC), Mauve it over (Revlon), Berry Smoothie (Revlon), Pink Truffle (Revlon)

First, we have Hot Tahiti by Mac. This is a gorgeous dark red with a slight sheen. You can built this up to full opacity or apply it sheer. It's s glaze so it applies like a dream and feels smoothing and moisturizing. 

It has good staying power, but it obviously doesn't stay as long as a matte color would.

This is my go-to red lipstick in the fall/winter time.

sorry, out of focus :(

Next up, we have Mauve it over by Revlon. It's a matte mauve brown beige color. It looks quite natural on the lips because it's not overly shimmery or anything like that.

If you have darker lips though, i would stay away from this because it's almost a bit to light for me and i'm pretty fair.

This lipstick stays on for ages due to the matte finish. The downside is, that it dries out your lips quite a but, so if you suffer from dry lips i wouldn't recommend this! If you wear a lip balm under it, the problem is solved!

Here we have, Maroon by Catrice. This is a dark browny neutral color. It comes of quite dark on the lips but it's still wearable because of the natural color.

It kind of looks like a mixture of Hot Tahiti and Mauve it over as you can see in the photo below.

This lipstick is very moisturizing and stays on quite a while. I have to touch it up a few times during the day though. 

If you love very pigmented lipsticks i would suggest the Catrice ones. They all have really nice color payoff! 

The two last lipsticks are Revlon's lip butters. I've done a full review of these on my blog.

Back to School Haul {Part 1}

This is a collective fashion haul for back to school. I will try to do some outfit posts with these clothes in the future. I went to American Eagle, Delia's and Bath & Body Works.The links are all included if you want to get them. :)

The first top I got is the AE Open Stitch Popover in pink. It is super super soft! The front is higher than the back. The material is much thinner than a sweater so I plan on just wearing it as a long sleeve as the weather turns cooler. 

Here's an up close look at the material. What I like about it is that it has some subtle pops of hot pink in it which makes it more exciting and easy to pair a scarf with.

Now that brings up the next item I picked up which is a scarf! The AEO Floral Loop Scarf is labeled as coral but I would say it's more of a hot pink and coral blend in person. It has some cute flowers that match the base color of the popover. Very light and soft with frayed edges.

I got this tank to layer under the popover (it's kind of see through). The front is nothing special but the back is just covered in a beautiful lace pattern. Similar here.

The next top is a polka dotted Peter Pan collar top. It's made out of a chiffon like material. Two trends in one! Haha! 

Under that top I would layer this tank. 

I also got a pair of dark wash jeggings. A bonus- it came in short! I hate having to roll up jeans because my legs are too short. A girl can never have too many jeans right? For some reason I don't like light rinse jeans so I always get dark ones. I didn't find any colored jeans that I liked. :(

These are very comfortable and flattering. American Eagle makes quality jeans.

I bought some American Eagle items from online because I had a special 15% off discount. I've really been into scarves recently. They can really spice up your outfit! I love this pattern and it has little tassels on the edges.

I needed a cute belt so I picked out this nice braided one.

I got the ribbon back t which is in a gorgeous pink. The back it so pretty!

The last top I got is my favorite one. The AE Pleated Floral Blouse is sooooooo beautiful especially in person. Unfortunately the red is sold only online. The blue is in stores though. Very flattering. The back is more sheer than the front so I plan on wearing a red tank under that I already have.

At Delia's I just picked up these rings. I like the vintage look that they have. I don't know why but they're unavailable online so I guess if you like them you'll have to search in store. They come as a 5 piece set.

At Bath and Body Works I picked up some hand sanitizer. They usually have a 5 for $5 sale going on. My favorite scent is the sweet cinnamon pumpkin. I just think of fall when I take a whiff of it. They're a perfect size to pop into a purse, pocket, or school bag! 

That is the end of my haul! Sorry this post is so long. I hope you guys enjoyed it and I will have a school supplies haul coming soon!
