Favorite Fall Lipsticks High-End BLOGTOBER OCTOBER 8, 2014


A couple posts back I talked about my favorite fall drugstore lipsticks. Today I am going to show you guys my favorite fall High-End Lipsticks. These are all a great investment if you guys do choose to go for a more pricer lip color.

From Left to Right:

MAC Rebel:
I love love love this color!!! This is a lipstick that will always be on trend for the fall season. It is the perfect plum color and goes well with any skin tone. The texture is super creamy and glides on smoothly. The wear time with MAC lipsticks isn't the best but for this color it is totally worth every penny!!!

MAC Violetta:
For those of you who want to be a little funky try this one on for size. This pretty violet color is great paired with winged eyeliner and full lashes. Another bonus it makes your teeth look whiter :D

Bare Minerals Marvelous Moxie in Raise the Bar:
This is for those of you who don't really feel comfortable with dark and funky colors this fall. While it is a bit on the nude side the coppery undertone definitely screams fall. This color reminds me of the leaves changing colors.

YSL Rouge Volupte in #12:
This is one of more pricer lipsticks but totally worth it. Rich, creamy and not to mention the GORGEOUS color you can't go wrong with it! 

From Left to Right:
MAC Rebel- Medium plum (Satin)
MAC Violetta- Bright Violet (Amplified)
Raise the Bar- Coppery nude (Satin)
YSL #12- Bright raspberry plum (Satin/matte)

Princess Tag

A couple weeks ago I started watching the Princess Tag going around the beauty community on YouTube. It is basically a list of one's favorite high-end products. It could be clothing, beauty, shoes, etc... Most of the videos people chose to do cosmetics so that is what I decided to do in blog form. Here are my favorite "princess" products.

DISCLAIMER: EVERYTHING MENTIONED IN THE POST WAS EITHER PURCHASED BY ME OR GIVEN TO ME BY SOMEONE. ALL OPINIONS AND PHOTOS ARE MY OWN UNLESS STATED. THANK YOU

Foundation:YSL Teint Resist ($60) http://www.amazon.com/Teint-Resist-Transfer-Resistant-Foundation/dp/B0041PGGMG 


A medium to full coverage foundation with a SPF of 10. Feels nice and light on the skin and gives a nice natural looking glow. It has a floral scent with a hint of watermelon. The color range for this foundation isn't the biggest. When I first got this foundation Sephora only had 6 shades. But nice foundation overall if you want a build able coverage.  

Powder: Makeup Forever HD($20-$40 depending on size) http://www.sephora.com/hd-microfinish-powder-P210400?om_mmc=esv103264-GG&om_kwpur=332176159&ppc_crid=26941913537&site=us_search&esvcid=S1383243446_ADOGOe_AGI3733471_CRE26941913537_TID332176159_DVCc_RFDd3d3Lmdvb2dsZS5jb20%3d_RAWbWFrZXVwJTIwZm9yZXZlciUyMGhkJTIwcG93ZGVy



One of the best setting powders out there! It is a super finely milled white setting powder. Great for photography. It doesn't cake on your skin and leaves a flawless finish.

Blush:NARS (All Nars Blushes are $29) http://www.sephora.com/product/productDetail.jsp?keyword=NARS%20Blush%20P2855&skuId=248930&productId=P2855&_requestid=63000 


This particular blush is in the color Desire 


I pretty much am a huge fan of all the NARS blushes. They have a great color range and are EXTREMELY pigmented. A little goes a long way. These blushes are expensive but will last you a lifetime. 

Bronzer: NARS Laguna ($36) http://www.sephora.com/bronzing-powder-P12790?SKUID=537878&ci_src=17588969&ci_sku=537878&om_mmc=Google%7badtype%7d&_requestid=42976&cm_mmc=us_search-_-GG-_-%7badtype%7d-_-%7bkeyword%7d



A basic brown bronzer with a little shimmer (however doesn't show up on the skin). It is great for contouring or giving the fact just a bit of color. It isn't muddy or orange like most bronzers and is super easy to blend.


Eyeshadow: Kevyn Aucoin ($58) http://www.barneys.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-BNY-Site/default/Product-Show?pid=00505009473188




Kevyn Aucoin is my all time favorite makeup artist and is also a legend in the beauty industry. His work is flawless so I didn't expect anything less from his makeup line. Pretty much all his makeup is godsend but his eyeshadows are amazing. They are very easy to work with and come in an array of colors. 

Liner: Lancome Art Liner ($14) http://www.lancome-usa.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-lancome_us-Site/default/Product-Show?pid=12230&cm_mmc=Mercent-_-CSE-_-Google-_-Artliner&cm_mmc=LabeliumSearch-_-GooglePE-_-any-_-any&cse=l_google&mr:trackingCode=F84EBB99-F96F-DF11-A0C8-002219318F67&mr:referralID=NA&mr:adType=pla&bookmark=243344 



A felt tip eyeliner that anyone can work with. Super easy to apply and very dark. Lancome also released limited edition color liners throughout the year. 

Eyebrow Pencil: Red Earth Brow Pencil in Dark Ash ($26 purchased in China) 



It may seem ridiculous to spend this much on an eyebrow pencil however if you have sparse or funny looking uneven brows this pencil is pretty much a lifesaver. It lasts a long time without any brow gel and has great color payoff. Eyebrows are very important they frame the face with or without makeup. This pencil is pretty difficult to find in the U.S. 

Mascara: YSL Shocking ($30) http://www.sephora.com/mascara-volume-effet-faux-cils-shocking-voluminous-mascara-for-a-false-lash-effect-P299013?SKUID=1370519&ci_src=17588969&ci_sku=1370519&om_mmc=Google%7badtype%7d&_requestid=42976&cm_mmc=us_search-_-GG-_-%7badtype%7d-_-%7bkeyword%7d



One of the best mascaras ever! Super volumizing and makes your lashes look amazing plus it smells like flowers. Only downside is that if you are a beginner I would stay away the brush is a little bit difficult to work with and the formula can get clumpy on your lashes if not applied properly. 

Lip Product: DIOR Addict Lip glosses ($29.50) http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/dior-addict-gloss/3471761?origin=related-3471761-0-3-1-4-RR&PageCategoryId=PP



There are no words to describe these glosses. I have tried so many lip glosses from all different brands and there has been nothing like these. There are super pigmented and gives just enough shine without looking fake and they aren't sticky at all.
