Favorite Fall Lipsticks

October 9, 2014
Favorite Fall Lipsticks

 
If you follow me on Instagram, you may have noticed I wore a dark lip recently. I have owned dark plum and other fall lipstick colors for awhile, but I’ve been wearing them nonstop the past couple weeks (after work and on the weekends of course). I decided to share some of my favorites (including two of the shades I mixed together to achieve the look in my Instagram pic):

MAC Pro Longwear Lipcreme – Faithfully Yours – I ordered this lipstick a couple years ago and usually use it to layer colors. It gives a very deep, almost dark brown/black color. This is very intense and I usually wear it on nights out. I used this as the bottom layer in my Instagram photo!

Maybelline ColorSensational Lipstick – Plum Perfect – This has been one of my favorites ever since I discovered it about four years ago. I distinctly remember purchasing this because I used to spend hours wandering around the beauty section in the local Walgreens. Don’t ask me why that was my hang out spot, it just was! This gives a nice plum matte look, and I wore it recently in this post.

L’Oreal Paris Colour Riche Extraordinaire Liquid Lipstick – Plum Adagio – I picked up this liquid lipstick a few weeks ago because I also wanted a plum color that left a shiny, glossy look. I love it and it smells good too! I wore it as the second layer over my lips in my Instagram picture. You do have to spend some time adding more to get the right look with this!

NARS Lipstick – Fire Down Below – NARS lipsticks are so smooth and creamy I highly recommend them in general, but this shade of red is so gorgeous and has a little bit more of that deep, blood red color. I tend to opt for darker red shades in fall/witner and orange-y red shades in spring/summer.

These are just a few of my favorites, I will still wear pink and peach from time to time, but I LOVE these darker shades for fall. Give a darker shade a try if you haven’t… I think you’ll really like them!

I am going to have a bit of a blog hiatus here soon (you might have already noticed it this week) as we are preparing to move and while we are staying with friends for a couple weeks before we can move into our new apartment. Half of my closet is packed up and most of my free time is spent calling companies to move our services or packing more of our apartment. I will certainly still be sharing some posts, just not as many and I hope I will be back in full swing after the move in early November and be able to interact more again! For all of you who continue to visit this little space, even when I don’t stop by yours, THANK YOU. I really REALLY appreciate it! And I try my best to make time to stop by and say hi when I can!

Hope you are having an amazing week!!!!!!!

      Lynette! I wish I could say I was moving closer to you, but we are just moving to a new apartment, only about 5 miles away from where we are now! Our dog has hurt herself on our hardwood floors, so we realized we needed to move back to a place with carpet!

    Timely post! I have been trying to wear more moody lipstick and reds lately too. It’s not natural for me to think about it though. Always good to have color recommendations. Hope you have a smooth move!

    You read my mind!! I spent some time yesterday researching burgundy and berry lipsticks. I love all of these and I have a couple of NARS shades on my list (I’ve never owned one but have heard they’re amazing?!)! I’ve been wearing my burgundy lip stain and berry lipstick just about every day!

    Have a great weekend! xo

    I like the last lipstick. Those dark ones are a bit too dark to my liking.. I always wear nude colour, but I really should experiment more.

Hello friends! It’s been awhile again (surprise, Hello friends! It’s been awhile again (surprise, surprise) I’ve been around... been creeping around here 😂 but haven’t posted in forever!

So hello hello! I know the world is still in a crazy state - and I haven’t lost sight of that. But like many people, I’m trying to take it all one day at a time and find joy in the small things. Aside from that, things have been busy!...

* I started a new job in November! I’m excited to be back at a software company and looking forward to the day I get to meet some of my co-workers in person! 💻💃🏼
* My husband and I celebrated 3 years in October 👰🏼‍♀️... we were able to celebrate with a nice home-cooked dinner (by the hubby of course 😏☺️) and a bottle of wine from the winery he proposed at @ridgevineyards
* I have been enjoying being more present in the moment and spending less time on my phone. As much as I miss this community... the additional time I’ve gotten with my husband and dog won’t last forever, so I’ve decided to savor it ❤️❤️❤️

And this is one of the only pictures I’ve taken this year 😂 I actually did my hair and makeup for Thanksgiving (ya know to hang out with my husband and dog), and even though my curls only lasted two seconds, I look happy and I was happy and I am happy (as happy as I think anyone can be in the middle of a pandemic). So wanted to say hi 🙋🏼‍♀️ and hope you’re taking care! 🤗
I love you and I love fall. Still love looking bac I love you and I love fall. Still love looking back at our engagement photos 😍 #throwback #engagementphotos #youaremyeverything

It’s been awhile and A LOT has happened in our w It’s been awhile and A LOT has happened in our world since I last posted to my feed. There is a lot I want to say and I will be posting a lot more soon, but first & foremost...

Black Lives Matter.

I wish I had posted about this in my feed sooner, but I honestly didn’t know what to say or how to say it. I spent way too long overthinking it versus just doing it. I know that’s not an excuse, and I know I have to do better. I’ve been spending a lot of time reflecting and educating myself as well as finding ways to help and be proactive. I am committing myself to do more and do better. I know it’s not enough and I’m not sure it will ever be enough... but I will never stop trying. 

The most important thing I learned is that my silence in the past was unacceptable and a huge part of the problem. I thought not knowing what to say and worrying about saying the wrong thing meant it was ok to be silent. It WAS NOT and IS NOT ok.

I have so much more to learn and to do, but one thing is for sure... I will no longer be silent. I will continue to keep the anti-racism resources link in my bio - as it has been a great resource for me and know it has been for many others. Again, I’m not excusing myself for not posting in my feed sooner but I will continue to share and hope to keep the momentum going 🖤 Black Lives Matter 🖤
Hey friends! How are you?! We made it through anot Hey friends! How are you?! We made it through another *very unusual* & crazy/scary week. I hope you are staying safe & well!
.
Yesterday we took Emma @emmaminiaussie to the vet for her annual vet check up. It was her first appointment at a new vet since our move, and we had to let her go in alone. My anxiety has been off the charts lately, as I’m sure it has been for many of you, and heightened even more by this. Emma is truly our child, our daughter, and I am always anxious wanting to ensure she’s happy and doing well.
.
Sitting outside in the car waiting for the call from our new vet was difficult, but I’m so happy to report her health at almost 8 years old is wonderful! She’s thriving and it makes my heart so happy. Another great reminder during these times to be thankful for what matters most - your health and your loved ones’ health (including your fur babies 🐶). So with another long caption today just wishing health and safety to all of you right now! And another thank you to essential workers on the frontlines ❤️🙏🏻 #emmatheminiaussie #loveconquersall #stayhealthy
Hello Instagram family… it’s been awhile. I ha Hello Instagram family… it’s been awhile. I have not posted in my feed since February… and so this is going to be a long one since life as we know it has completely changed over the past month. 
I decided I needed a mental break from Instagram - not all social media - just Instagram. I have been unmotivated to post on this particular platform and was constantly posting old photos/photoshoots just to have something to post. So I took a break to refresh. 
Well, as you know, things started to escalate pretty quickly with COVID-19. I was just about ready to start posting again and BOOM. Just like that, everything in our world changed. It didn’t feel right to post my latest outfit at that moment… 
Things are still escalating, but I’m back here today because I’m longing for connection more than ever and because I want to say THANK you to so many people. 
Things are scary right now. They are uncertain and unfathomable. We are all trying to adapt to a new normal. I don’t have much to add to what others have been saying, but I do want to say I’m thinking of and praying for everyone, especially those directly affected by the pandemic. 
I also want to say thank you to everyone putting their lives at risk to help our country and our world during this time. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to healthcare workers, delivery drivers, grocery store workers, pharmacy/drugstore workers, app-based gig workers out in the field, restaurants who are feeding healthcare workers and feeding children lunches, teachers going above and beyond, to those helping get their parents, grandparents, friends, neighbors and others who are vulnerable the essentials they need to get through this. You are all HEROES and I can never express enough gratitude for what you are doing. 
I don’t have much else to say, but I hope to continue to connect with you all again on this platform. THANK YOU to everyone who is putting an effort into making a difference during this pandemic. Staying home means so much right now if you are able to! We will get through this together if we work together. Stay safe, stay well, and be kind ❤️ #stayhome #besafe #thankyou
