Oh fall how I love thee! I’m big into the changing leaves, pumpkin spice candles (and drinks!), holiday planning, and transition into vampy makeup! This fall, I’ll be leaning heavily towards cool toned seasonal looks vs. last’s year’s heavy emphasis on gold from me. If you are interested in my must have shadow singles, keep reading below!

Christmas is coming soon so that means gift giving galore! If you aren’t ready for the holidays quite yet, I’ve got a list of items you should consider for the beauty lover in your life.

I’ve got gifts for beauty beginners, makeup addicts, and the skincare obsessed, so check it out below!

I’ve yet to come across a palette that has everything I need so I’m forced to provide you with shades from a handful of different brands (NYX Cosmetics, Looxi Beauty, Makeup Geek Cosmetics, MAC Cosmetics) to bring you eye contouring combinations for warm, neutral, and cool skin
