FORMULATION:

I wasn't a fan of NYC eyeshadows UNTIL they reformulated them and introduced these Individual Eyes palettes. They come in a variety of colors that are designed for specific eye colors. This particular one is a new limited edition release for their Halloween collection out it stores now.

There are 4 shadows in each palette that are labeled so you know where to apply them on the eye, however you can always mix and do your own thing. All the colors in the palettes including this one are arranged from dark to light.

This palette is great for either a settle or dark smokey eye (great for Halloween!!!)

All the shadows are decently pigmented and very easy to work with.

In every palette there is a highlighter and an eyeshadow base. They are the same in every palette. The highlighter is a pretty milky white with shimmer. You can either use it on the face or eyes (on top of cheekbones and the nose for the face and brow bone and inner corner for eyes.) The base is a yellow beige color and doesn't really do much. 

On top: Highlighter
On Bottom: Eyeshadow Base

Top Fave Fall Lip Products

Here are my top fave fall lip products. Links on where to purchase will be @ the end :) DISCLAIMER: All products were either purchased by myself or given to me as a gift and as always all opinions are my own. (Photo credit: GOOGLE) 

1.) Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick F-Bomb ($22): Reds are one of my favorite lip colors to wear during the fall especially dark reds. I am absolutely in love with this lipstick. These lipsticks are incredibly moisturizing and pigmented. F-Bomb is a dark "bad-girl" red.  It has a very smooth satin finish. It is a red lipstick with some edge. If you are a fan of bold lip color then you might want to try this one out.

2.) NYC Applelicious Glossy Lip Balm in the color Apple Blueberry Pie ($2.99 @ CVS): For those of you who are not big into the bold color but yet still want to wear a darker color for the fall this may be the color for you. It is a tinted plum/mauve lip balm. It is moisturizing and gives you that just bitten lip stain look with just a hint of gloss. Not to mention it smells like apples and flowers. Also works pretty much all skin tones.

3.) YSL Rouge Volupte Silky Sensual Lipstick in the color 12- Forbidden Burgundy ($34): This is probably the most expensive lipstick out of this bunch but if you are a lipstick junkie like me it might be worth it to shed out a few more dollars. YSL probably makes one of the best lipsticks EVER. They are soft, creamy, and pigmented like theres no tomorrow. This particular color is a deep burgundy plum. I recommend wearing it over a matching color or nude lipliner. Dark colors no matter what the brand will feather and bleed out of your lips. Plus lipliners help keep the color on longer and with a lipstick that has this kind of price tag keep it on as long as possible.

4.) Wet n Wild Megalast Lipstick in Cherry Bomb ($1.99): A vampy red with a burgundy undertone. This lipstick is the drugstore dupe to MAC's rebel just without the $14 price tag.
