Favorite Beauty Products of Fall (so far)

Hey everyone! Fall is one of my favorite seasons for a lot of different reasons. I love the weather, the beautiful changing of the leaves and everything beauty that comes with the fall season. I love the darker lipsticks and of course the clothes. This post will be me sharing some of my favorite with you! Most are beauty products and there are a few that go along with the season that I wanted to share!

First is the darker shades of lipstick, during the summer I really stick to pinks and corals, but I feel like in the fall its ok to go a little darker. I also like to wear a more nude lip in the fall so I'll throw some of those in as well. Here are a few of my favorites  :)


This first one I'm actually not sure if you can get anymore but its the only one like that I promise, the rest are readily available.
Its a lipstick my Aerie and its called Sweet.
Its like a very pretty rose color, very flattering and would look great on nearly all skin types, definitely a top favorite of mine. Its also not drying at all, very creamy and smooth.





The second is an Elizabeth Arden lipstick. Its a dark rose color as well, a little darker than sweet, very pretty.




The third is a clinique lipstick, I'm sure you've all heard of it, Black Honey. It looks scary in the tube how ever it does on kind of like a stain, again its that darker rosy color. I don't have this one with me because I actually finished my tube, I've had it for a long time and need to get another.





The nudes I am loving at the moment are Creme de Nude by Mac, Innocence Beware by Mac and Soft Nude by Revlon. All beautiful nudes and great paired with a gloss.




The last lip product I am loving is a lipgloss. Its by Clinique and is called Fireberry. Its a sheer red color, it is extremely similar to Ornamental by Mac.




As far as blushes go I have been using these two the majority of the time. The first one is NARS Douceur blush, which is a pink brown color. Looks very warm on fair skin. The second is Mac Gentle Mineralized blush, its a dark pink with gold shimmer in it. Both are great choices for fall.






For a fragrance I have been reaching for my PINK body splash in Warm & Cozy. It really smells like what the title says. Its a very warm scent. It just reminds me of fall and winter.



Now when it starts getting cooler I find that I have extremely dry skin. Lush Handy Gurugu Cream brings relief to my hands as they get very dry and cracked, would definitely recommend to any of you that suffer from dry skin like I do.



Two candles I have been burning are from Bath and Body Works. I have been absolutely loving the candles Leaves and Vanilla Carmel. Leaves is such a fall scent, very spicy and the Vanilla Carmel is the perfect vanilla scent, very light.



As far as fashion goes I'm loving boots and scarves at the moment. Its getting pretty cold at night where I live and these two items not only keep me warm but make great accessories.

I didn't make an eyeshadow section because I haven't changed my eye shadows for fall. I mostly use neutrals all the time. I think any neutral colors would do for fall, also cranberry colors would be nice.

I also didn't do a nail polish section because I plan on devoting an entire post to fall/winter polish.  :)

I hope you guys enjoyed this and I hope it gave you some ideas for fall! Hope everyone is enjoying fall and having a great week! Please check back in for more posts this week!
