Top 5 Fall Essentials featuring Raise.com



Happy Fall Everyone! According to my google search, the Autumnal Equinox brings us into the fall season tonight around 10:30 PM Eastern time. Today, I just so happen to have an entire post dedicated to fall. I was inspired by a company called Raise.com to create a post featuring my top 5 essentials for the fall season. If you haven't yet heard of Raise.com, it's the first online marketplace to buy and sell gift cards where you can buy them at a discounted price or sell them for other gift cards or cash. I am a huge fan of gift cards! I always tell people that when in doubt, just get me a gift card to one of my favorite stores. However, there are those times when I get a gift card at places I typically don't shop, which is where Raise comes in and saves the day. I'm able to sell my unwanted gift card and in return get a different gift card to a place where I'll actually use it. Win-win! There's also a ton of e-gift cards that you can buy for a discounted price, so before you online shop without a promo code (I never buy anything online without a discount code or at least free shipping), you'll be able to get that discount through Raise! Be sure to check them out right here and check out my top 5 fall essentials below!

September Beauty Wish List



With a new month, comes new beauty wish lists, at least in my world. I especially like creating these wish lists every month because they help me organize the items I've been hearing great things about or meaning to purchase. Now when I go to Ulta or wherever else to makeup shop, I already have my "grocery list" of beauty products to try. I swear I didn't plan the below little color scheme going on. I guess this September I'm drawn towards mauve lips, matte eyes, and shimmering rose gold highlights. I may or may not have already purchased a few of the below items (totally did, and you will see later in an Ulta haul post!)

Do we have any of the same items or beauty trends on our wish lists?

Just a quick Face of the Day post for you today! This look is actually from yesterday - I went to grab dinner with a friend. A wearable smokey eye with a neutral matte lip - yes please :)

July Beauty Wish List


I hope everyone is either nice and relaxed or hungover from their holiday weekend. Either way, that's how I know you had a nice weekend! Today I've put together a few beauty items that I've been wanting and have heard great things about. Some of these products are fairly new, including the Lorac Pro 2 Palette and the Loreal Miss Manga Mega Volume Mascara. Others are just products that I've literally heard so much about and need to try for myself, such as the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz, and the infamous Beauty Blender. I've already ordered the Brow Wiz in the shade 'Soft Brown' and am waiting for it's arrival along with the Hourglass Femme Nude Lipstick in shade no. 2. I've also been on the hunt for a new BB Cream to use during the summer and read such great reviews for the Tarte Illuminating BB Moisturizer. There's something about the word 'illuminating' that makes me really want to try it. Links for all products are provided below!

Daytime Makeup Look


I was having one of those days where I just liked the way my makeup came out, so of course I had to document it for you. (Ladies, take advantage of when you like the way you look and don't be afraid to take pictures and share your beautiful face with me and everyone else!). It turns out that many of the products I used are also featured in my "My Go-to Makeup Look" post from a few months ago (same exact eye look). See it here. There are, however, some changes in products so I wanted to keep you updated! I apologize for the lighting and quality of the pictures - it was a little later in the day so the natural lighting wasn't at it's best, but you can still get an idea of what the makeup looks like in action. For a full list of everything I used, keep on reading!
