Marsala Holiday Inspiration !!! Getting on trend with Pantones Chicest Color of the Year Yet.

I just can't get ENOUGH of Marsala - the Color of 2015 .  So today I decided to put together some great items together (some old, some new)  that will help you get on trend for the new year.

• Wet n Wild Lipstick in 918D Cherry Bomb - The best collection of bargain lipsticks, and Cherry Bomb is spot on in the Marsala shade.  
• Smashbox Be Legendary Long- Wear Lip Lacquer in After Dark - pigment and a lacquered finish ( win - win situation).  This will be a great stocking stuffer for your girlfriends! 
• YSL Eyeshadow ( this is a old one the name is removed - yikes!)  - any shadow in a similar shade will do. 
• Mally Beauty City Chick Smokey Eye Kit in Midtown Merlot - this has been one of my favorite smokey eye kits to use out of all of the ones I have.  Nice to use this wine shade in place of the typical black shadow for a smoked out eye. 
• Tarte smolderEYES Amazonian Clay Waterproof liner in Fig - this looks amazing on the lower lid as a pop of color on a neutral eye.  Can also be used on the whole eye as a quick smudged/ smokey look.  Paired with a lipstick / lip gloss , you have the perfect lil' gift set for the holidays.  

Hope you enjoyed this little collection I've put together, and for more fun finds you can check out my instagram.  

Orange and Lavender Lips : Statement Shades that are here to STAY ..... Get the Look

Orange and Lavender ( Lilac) Lips on Fair Skin 

Orange and Lavender (Lilac) Lips on Dark Skin 

Two shades I am OBSESSING over at the current junction are "Oranges" and "Lavenders" ( or Lilac whichever way you want to categorize it.) .  From Mattes to Stains to Glossy Glosses I can NOT get enough.  I love that these two shades are completely Universal ( see the photos above for yourself) ,  everyone can partake in the fun -  the key is just knowing which shade under the spectrum compliments you.  Never let anyone tell you that you can not wear a specific color because your skin tone is too light or too dark. Makeup is supposed to be fun , care free and explored without boundaries and possibilities. With that said, I've put together a few shades ( some Matte, Stain, Gloss , priced from high to low ) that will get you on trend for the Fall /Winter.  Enjoy !!  

Too Faced Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipstick in "Creamy Coral" and "Violet Orchid" ($21) 

 When I first tested these babies out at Sephora I was like "OMG I did not know Too Faced was . bringing it like this!!!" Too Faced has really out did themselves with the Melted line.  I can not say anything about these lipsticks but that you MUST get them ! They dry with a matte like finish and are super pigmented and last for hours.. Truly a dream to wear.

Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipstick in "A Go Go" and "Coven" ($21) 

Luxe Luxe Luxe ... Is what these lipsticks should have been called.  The packaging feels like a piece of art in your handbag, the Matte texture is not like any other Matte lipsticks I own.  Kat Von D really did reformulate these lipsticks and made them better than ever.  "A Go Go" looks AMAZING on my dark skin , and women of lighter tones, its a fabulous shade or Orange that I think every woman should have. "Coven" is currently sold out online at Sephora and most locations  - so that just speaks for itself.  

Sleek True Colour Lipstick in "Tangerine Scream" and "Exxxaggerate" ($7.49)

These Lipsticks give a Matte Finish , but are non-drying Exxxagerate is not quite Lavender a bit deeper but its such a lovely shade.  I really love the quality of Sleek Makeup over all, its proves that you don't always have to spend a lot to get luxury.  

 

L.A. Girl Glazed Lip Paint in "Hot Mess" and "Coy  ($3.49) 

I am very excited about the launch of these L.A. Girl colors. They are super pigmented and are the perfect dupe to the Too Faced Melted Lipsticks, but honestly these are so fabulous they can stand alone.  At the price you can't do anything but not indulge in a few of the shades!
