Fall Wishlist

1. Draped Geo Pattern Cardigan - Like a statement necklace I tend to be attracted to a piece of clothing that stands out. I will never over do it, but it's nice to have that one piece that is unique. I'm loving cardigans too so this is a win win!

2. Revlon Black Cherry Lipstick - This has become a really popular lipstick.If you had asked me a year ago if I would wear a shade like this (or anything but nude lips) I would run for the hills. However, I have changed my perception on darker lips and have been wanting to try this vampy reddish brown colour.

3. Grey Hunter Boots - I've been eyeing these for so long! They can definitely work in all seasons and look super cute with leg warmers and an oversized sweater.

4. Stella and Dot Lucia Necklace - Big statement necklaces are an easy way to spruce up a plain outfit. I love the multiple beads. It's oversized without being chunky.

5. Leopard Print Snuggie - This Fall accessory is a must. Ok, It's not an accessory but it will keep you warm and looking super stylish

6. Ikea "Alex" Drawer Stand - It all comes down to needing more efficient and nicer looking storage. I really love alot of pieces from Ikea and this Alex drawer stand is sleek and has tons of drawer space. I am planning on getting this soon so I can re-arrange my makeup, hair stuff and...junk.

7. Michael Kors Rosegold Perfume - Want. It. :)

I can honestly say that I have no idea where July went. We look forward to summer all year and now that it's here, it's passing us by! Although summer won't be here much longer, these favourites I am going to mention definitely will be. These are some of the products I have been loving and all of them are less than $20!

Top to Bottom: Body Shop White Musk Blush Eau De Toilette, Body Shop Bronzer in shade 01, Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Dark Circle Concealer in shade 01, Hard Candy Baked Eyeshadow Duo in shade 057 "Peace",
 Sally Hansen Double Duty Strengthening Base & Top Coat


This is one of those scents that is definitely not season specific. It can be worn throughout the year and is describes to have notes of vanilla, cinnamon, warm spice, powder and wood spice.

I ended up purchasing this on a whim because it was on sale for $5!! Regular price is around $20 but even at that is considered a steal! This is a really nice, mostly matte bronzer with the tinest bit of shimmer. It's not muddy or orange on my skin tone (fair even with the best of tans)

 
Goodbye Mac Studio Fix! At a fraction of the price, I have found my new HG. I, unfortunately suffer from under eye circles and this really does a good job at covering them up while adding a bit of reflective shimmer. It almost does double duty as an eye primer - I find my eyeshadow adheres nice.
I even use this on blemishes (not on zits)

 

It took me a long time to hop on the hard candy bandwagon (um...that sounds pretty inappropriate). Ok..I picked up one of these baked eyeshadow duos in 057 "Peace". The goldish shimmer is the perfect all over the lid or inner corner highlight. The chocolate brown colour really isn't that shimmery, and is very buildable.


My nails suffer all year long. I have weak peeling nails that never grow! I tried boycotting nail polish for a while thinking that would help let my nails "breathe". Nothing works. This Sally Hansen Double Duty really helps though. I apply it every third day or so, sometimes with nail polish and sometimes on it's own. It's a really great top coat too.

 
Random non-beauty product are these earrings I picked up at Forever 21.
They remind me of Tory Burch!

What are your fav products that you'll continue to use into the fall?
