Fall Lip Flavors

October 5, 2016 Kelly Donohue

It's a new season, which means it's time to switch up your style. And updating your wardrobe is the easy part. Boots, scarves, denim, done. Ok maybe it's not that simple, but thanks to all the bloggers, magazines and outlet malls out there, it's pretty easy to keep up with the latest fashion trends. But if you're anything like me, you forget that it's also a great time to refresh your makeup collection.

A new color palette can give you an entirely new look. So today, I'm sharing some of my favorite go-to fall lip colors. From neutral to dark berry, each one offers a totally different feel. So which one will you choose?

GO BOLD

Lips: Maybelline Color Sensational Vivid Matte Liquid Lip Color "Berry Boost"

FOUND at TARGET

Color that leaves an impression! This super-matte bright berry shade is truly next-level. Fun and ultra-flirty, it sticks to your lips and dries into a velvety texture that you'll fall in love with. Yes, please!

NEUTRAL NOTES

Audacious Lipstick- NARS "Raquel"

FOUND at Sephora

Peach with traces of pink, this silky color makes your lips appear plump and full (which I always welcome). A great alternative to nude, I LOVE this shade for dressy and casual looks.

DARKER TONES

Lips: Maybelline Loaded Bold Lipstick "Blackest Berry"

Found at TARGET

This easy-on lipstick is darkly romantic and gives a nod to the ever popular 90's trend. I was hesitant to buy it because it was SO dark and different for me. But I really loved the result. Give this one an honest try.

Happy Friday everyone! After a long week of travel, I woke up today not feeling like doing much more than throwing my hair in a big knot on the top of my head. Sometimes the week just catches up to you and today feels like one of those days for me. But instead of letting it get the best of me, I let my lazy hairdo inspire today’s summery get-up.

This whole look took about 15 minutes to put together! I found the dress, thought “Oh these shoes would be perfect”, and somehow it all just seemed to fit together just right. How great is it when that happens? And even though I simply intended for a “passable” “get-me-through-the-day” sort of look, I ended up really loving what I came up with here. I grabbed this adorable daisy print dress I’ve been wanting to wear from Forever21 and paired it with my go-to staple necklace from Ruche. To add to the retro look that I was going for today, I added a bold red lip, my round rimmed sunglasses, and bandeau headband. The bold lip also helps to distract from sleepy eyes and the headband helps to hide the bumps in my not-so-perfect hair, so you see, it’s a win-win!

Oh and the BEST part? You can get this entire look for under $100! Get all the details below.

Happy Valentines Day everyone!

I decided to go for a classically romantic Valentine’s look today. Dressed in this red dress from H&M, and paired with red lipstick from Sephora, I’m pretty much a walking Valentine... (a person-gram!) Oh and I found the dress on the sale rack a couple weeks ago for $10 dollars (honestly) which inspired my bold red look. It's fun to dress up in reds, pinks, lace, hearts, and florals on Valentines day. Any excuse to dress girly- I'll take!

I hope that your day is full of candy, treats, and lots of love. As gimmicky as this holiday has become, I think the idea of setting aside a day to let your loved ones know how much you care about them, is really pretty great.
