You can't go into Fall Without Red and Burgundy

I am in no way a beauty guru or an expert in make-up nor do I know how to do it, but I do wish to learn one day. But one thing that you can’t tell me about that I do use as one of my only beauty products that I do know about is lipstick and my favorite is red! All year around one of my signature lippies are red (Ruby Woo by MAC and Stunna by Fenty Beauty) and I also love a good burgundy lip and a ombre red and dark burgundy lip look. Using beautiful and deep tones like red or burgundy for lip colors makes everything look so much more put together to me. If you take any of the tips from my past two blog posts about having a great Fall Wardrobe and then you add one of these lips colors then you are all set for the Fall. All lip colors may look different on different people but find your perfect tone of red or burgundy and rock the hell out of it with confidence!

Also I always love a good red nail and it looks even more amazing in the Fall and winter because it is that color pop that you need when everything looks or feels more gloomy. I’ve always admired a good red lip and red nails, it’s like the perfect combo all year around. Give me a red lip, some lashes or mascara and some good/clear skin and I’m all set.

Rock your deep tones and look fabulous in your great wardrobe and this is guaranteed to be a great season.

My skin is going CRAZY!

So with traveling, stress and lack of sleep my skin has been going CRAZY! I usually get minimal to no breakouts and have pretty good skin, I do a face mask probably once or twice a month and I use my cleanser, rose water spray and retinol oil (because these are products that work for me) maybe once a week. My skin isn’t something I usually pay too much attention to as far as buying products because my skin is usually really good but as of lately it has been going crazy and everyday it seems to be something new. It may look clear and glowing on the outside and to others but to me I see the breakouts and how frequently I’m getting them and that’s not normal for me and what I’m used to my skin doing .

So as I stated previously these are the products I use when I do use something and I use them because I like them and they get the job done and I’m not a person who wants to be doing a 1,000 product regimen. But lately since my crazy skin problems I’ve had to use them more often and I’ve decided that I need to look for some really great products that do the same as these and create a regimen. When I’m used to something being a certain way ALL the time I don’t like when things randomly start changing which is exactly how I’m feeling towards my skin. I have been in skincare research mode and looking at different people that I like on Instagram who are interested heavily in skincare and are knowledgable about great products and I am taking note of what products I want to try, what services I want to go get done by an esthetician and what things I need to change so that my skin can go back to normal.

Your body will find its way to tell you that you’re doing too much and It may be a different way each time, but you better listen. This time my body chose to tell me to slow down through my face and I definitely didn’t like it so now I get the message loud and clear. Listen to your body and pay attention instantly when something seems to be out of wack. I drink lots of water daily and my skin is still going crazy so that shows that there are other issues.

So within the next few weeks I will start to purchase products that I really like and feel that they will work great on my skin based off of research, I will create a regimen that I can use weekly and get a great cleanser that I can use daily. As well as find an esthetician where I can start getting a monthly or bi-monthly facial. I am not a huge like skincare regimen junky but I love great skin so I will definitely be getting strict with a regimen!

Pay attention to your body!

My make-up essentials

I'm a girl that loves all things glitz, glam, fashion and beauty. Although I don't personally wear much makeup sometimes I do like to add a bit of glam. My makeup essentials when I want to be extra glamorous is lipstick(Any color I love bold color lipstick but most the time I'm wearing Ruby Woo), my Mineralized Skinfinish Global Glow highlight by MAC which was $32, my go to and only mascara I use called Zoom Lash by MAC which was $16 and the last product I use is my Prep+Prime Fix+spray by MAC which was $22, I spray it on my angle brush when applying my highlight so that it is on the ultimate levels of come thru("Highlight on come thru" is just a phrase I use to describe great highlight lol). I love these products and they are my go to's for when I wear a bit of makeup, I was blessed with great skin and all I really have to do is add lotion and it looks like I have on foundation and highlight lol. Don't get me wrong  I love a beat face and I'm fascinated with the art of makeup and watching people do it(YouTube videos on hair, makeup and fashion are life) , but I'm just too lazy to do a full face of makeup on myself, but when I do decide to take the time to beat my face(which is very rare) I like it very natural, with a great yet subtle pair of lashes( mostly use Ardell lashes), a colored lip and extraordinary levels of highlight come thru(You have to bathe in highlight, okay!! You have to glow honey, its all in the glow!). Although these are my essential products you'll probably catch me wearing just lipstick on an everyday base, a little glam goes a long way. As stated by the influential, iconic and classic Audrey Hepburn "I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick."
