Lips Of The Moment – Salem ♥

Although I’m a huge fan of bright, fun lipstick colors, once in a while when the weather starts to get chilly, I like to switch it up and wear my vampy lipsticks. For me, the darker the better. This lipstick in particular isn’t necessarily dark, but it’s different. I’ve never owned anything like it. Are you wondering what I’m talking about? You’re right. Salem by LimeCrime. salem I’ve been wanting to try one of their Velveteen lippies for the longest time so when I got the opportunity to purchase one, I was automatically drawn to this one. Salem is like the perfect brown lip product. It’s a Velveteen so it goes on liquid and dries completely matte. It’s a beautiful color and perfect for the Fall. My favorite part of this lip product is that it literally lasts all day and it’s not as drying as some of the other liquid to matte lip products I’ve used before. I think this will definitely be a staple product for me this season!

Brown Lips & Neutral Eyes ♥

Autumn has quickly become one of my favorite seasons. Lately I’ve been really into the beautiful fall colors and the weather has been just right. This has inspired me to create a makeup look using Browns and Golds ; Fall colors. Recently I bought the Lime Crime Velveteen in Salem and it’s the perfect brown lip product for the fall. I am obsessed with it and wanted to create a look around this lipstick. I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did creating it, let me know if you like talk through videos better than voice over ones

Current Favorites | August 2014 ♥

For the month of August I didn’t really have much favorites and of course I waited too long to film my monthly favorites. Instead, I decided to make a current favorites video including some of my most used products in recent weeks.

No Makeup, Makeup ♥

Anyone who knows me, know I love a full face of makeup. Although this is true, there are times that I get lazy or I’m in a rush or just simply want to give my skin a little break from makeup. In this instance, I usually go to my no makeup, makeup look!

It’s such a perfect, simple, and clean look that you can do for school or work if you wanted to. For those of you who don’t wear much makeup or are just beginning, this is actually perfect for you! Keep in mind something like this is supposed to look natural, so although it may look full coverage on camera, it isn’t.

I tried to use products that have helpful qualities like the Argan Oil from the Josie Maran Tinted Moisturizer and the Maracuja Oil from the Tarte Concealer, that way your skin is breathing and taking in good oils at the same time!

To see how I applied these products, watch the video below! I hope you enjoy it and if you do please don’t forget to subscribe,  like, comment, and of course share with your friends and family.

Ps. I love chatting with you guys so please feel free to leave me comments! I always answer back 🙂
