Favorite blushes for the Fall

These are my favorite blushes to wear during the Fall & even Winter.

I chose shades based on my NC15 skin tone so some of these blushes may not work for everyone.

Wet N Wild:

-Heather Silk (Can be toned down)

-Berry Shimmer (Can be toned down)

-Pearlescent Pink

-Mellow Wine

Milani Romantic Rose, Warm Petals & Terra Sole

ELF Mellow Mauve

NARS:

- Angelika

-Sin

-Mata Hari

MAC:

-Breath of Plum

-Cubic

-Dame

-Melba

-Mocha

Blushes I plan on adding to my Fall collection:

MAC plum Foolery & Margin

February Favorites!

HIGHLIGHTER: Dior Amber Diamond. In the Winter my skin always looks so "blah", but this wonderful highlighter makes me look alive. Well worth the money!

PERFUME: Vera Wang Lovestruck. Such a girly fragrance.

BLUSH: I've been addicted to blush lately so I have a few that I've been switching between this Month.

First up I've been enjoying both Cubic & Dame from my MAC Pro Palette.

Next up is NARS Angelika. From looking at this blush in the pan it looks a bit scary because it's filled with glitter. Once applied the glitter seems to disappear & leaves my cheeks with a natural sheen. Just make sure to powder your cheeks before applying this blush.

EYESHADOW: Ever since I got the Urban Decay Naked Basics palette it's the only thing I reach for. It's perfect for creating an everyday look as well as a night time look.

MASCARA: Maybelline The Rocket is one of those Mascaras that I wan't too crazy about at first, but after about 5 uses it started to dry a bit & now I'm really liking the formula.

LIPSTICK: MAC Angel is one of those lipsticks that I can wear everyday no matter what eyeshadow or blush I wear. This is one that I will keep in my collection.

NARS blush in "Gaiety"

For some reason my camera didn't pick up the correct color.

 "Gaiety" is a  Matte neon pink. 

I went on Sephora's page & got an accurate picture...

Described as "Bright Candy Pink"

In the pan "Gaiety" looks like neon pink which can be a bit scary. I decided to buy it anyway & give it a try. I'm so glad I did! On my very fair skin this blush really makes me look alive. My skin looks bright & healthy. I would describe this blush as a barbie doll pink. I really love it! 

In the pan Gaiety has a silver sparkle to it (which can be seen in the pictures I took) but on my face I don't see any of those sparkles, which is a good thing. =)

I'm on a blush kick lately & can't wait to get my hands on more NARS blushes. 

I wanted to pick up "Desire" (which is another bright cotton candy pink) but unfortunately my local Sephora only carries half of the blushes from NARS.

I'm also really wanting Sin( for the Fall & Winter)

Gaiety is a color that would look wonderful in the Spring & Summer. 

NARS Turkish Delight *MY thoughts*

Yes I know everyone probably already tried this lipgloss by now but I still wanted to write a post with my personal thoughts on it.

CONS:

-I HATE the smell of this! Smells like burnt plastic mixed with a ton of chemicals.

-Really thick!

-The color washes me out. It's a milky pink & my skin is milky white.. 

So yeah not a good match lol. As you can see in the above swatch it blends in with my skin.

-The price is a bit crazy for this. I can find nicer lipglosses for cheaper at the Drugstore.

PROS:

-Works alot better layered over lipsticks. 

(Call me unoriginal but this lipgloss really does look amazing over MAC "Angel" lipstick.)

-Not sticky

-Average wear. Lasts until I eat/drink

OVERALL:

I think this will be my first & last NARS lipgloss.
