ipsy october 2016.

All the Halloween feels with this bag!

Happy Halloween! I thought today would be perfect for my Ipsy October review, since the bag is so on-theme. Here we go!

The Bag: I love that the Ipsy team paired up with an illustrator for this bag. The pictures are super cute and pop nicely against the soft pink.

Noyah Natural Lipstick in Currant News: First of all, can we appreciate how apt the name is? Props to whoever came up with that one. The sample size is admittedly tiny, but I love the natural composition and deep berry color. It applies lighter than it looks in the tube. I'll be getting use out of this one during the next few months!

theBalm Cosmetics CabanaBoy Blush: Another tiny product, another gorgeous color. I love the moody mauve color. It's perfect for the cooler season when I want to get that warm flush. We'll see how I manage with picking up product from the tiny square though.

Lovely Sarah Jessica Parker Fragrance Rollerball: I was so happy when I saw this was coming in my bag. I'm a major SJP fan and have been wanting to try out her fragrance. It is a light, natural floral that is ideal for everyday use. This is one of those perfumes that I can throw on for any occasion.

Essence Cosmetics Superfine Waterproof Eyeliner Pen: I know this isn't the most high end product, but it's probably the one I was most excited to receive. I'm almost out of my Starlooks liner pen (good pigmentation, not the best point), so I'm in need of a new one. The point on this Essence pen is super fine, which means it will be a dream to apply.

Preventive Measures 101 Lips 101 After Hours: Let's just call this what it is: chapstick. It may be branded as an overnight lip treatment, but I'll be using this at all hours just like any other lip balm I own. Not the best thing I've ever gotten in my bags, but still a practical item.

leather jacket season.

Tis the season! The season for layering and leather jackets that is. I'm all about the crisp fall weather and cozy outfits that go along with it. I recently broke out my leather jackets and scarves and have been so happy with that decision. You just can't go wrong with a leather jacket thrown over pretty much anything and a pair of boots to match.

Throw in a steaming cup of coffee and a slice (or two) of apple pie, and this girl's in autumn heaven.

P.S. Check out my closet on Poshmark! I'm selling some old favorites and never been worn goodies.

The chill has officially arrived. Part of me is excited about the fact that I can wear scarves and leather jackets again. The other part is wrapped up in my pajamas wishing to never leave the house. But hey, there's pumpkin spice and apple pies again, so I can't really complain.

I love cozy cool outfits like this on overcast days. It probably has to do with my love of dressing for a theme, but I always want to wear grays and moody colors when the skies fill with clouds. Also, layering a slouchy crewneck under a heavy layer jacket pleases me to no end.

Cheers to the season!

shop my closet on poshmark.

This skirt is up for sale!

Have you heard about Poshmark? I started using it recently after doing a massive closet purge. I was looking for a way to give my clothes like the skirt above, plus this skirt and these pants) a new home and this seemed perfect! So far, the app has been easy to use and is a convenient way to clear out my wardrobe. I love that I can pass my clothes that are still in good condition to someone who will get more use out of them than I will. I'm all about reducing and reusing!

Check out my closet on Poshmark to shop!

Happy autumn everyone! I'm in full autumn mode right now. From painting my nails and dressing in shades of burgundy, mustard, and forest green to baking everything pumpkin-related, I'm embracing the season wholeheartedly.

Not that you'd know by this outfit! To be fair, it is still relatively warm here, so I just recently started reintroducing jeans into my wardrobe. Speaking of jeans, these ones are high-waisted to the max. I love them! They are so stretchy and comfy, and I plan to wear them with everything these next few months. Floral crop tops now, boxy sweaters a month from now...you get the picture.

love me some overalls.

I took these photos a few weeks ago, back when summer was in full swing. There's just something about denim overalls that screams summertime to me. I love how casual and comfy they are. Plus, they pair well with practically everything. I'm a big fan of this girly classic look. You can't go wrong with red lipstick and Converse, no matter what the season.

So don't be surprised if you see this combo again in a few weeks as cooler temps arrive :)

ipsy september 2016.

Denim + makeup = love.

This month's bag feels very back-to-school. Maybe it's the denim bag or the fact that the products are all glammed up naturals, but it all feels very right for September.

The Bag: Honestly, I'm not in love with it. The quality is definitely improving, but the design is not up my alley at all. Also, in comparison with some of the past few bags, this one feels like a downgrade.

Naked Cosmetics Advanced Aloe Cream: Yet another moisturizer. I like the packaging, but I've received nicer moisturizers than this from Ipsy. Not in love with it.

Seraphine Botanicals Guava Butter: I didn't think I'd like this product at all when I saw it in my sneak peek. It looks much nicer in person though, and I'll definitely be wearing it this fall. I like it better as a lip color than a cheek shade.

Dirty Little Secrets Cosmetics Eyeshadow in Teaser: I was so bummed when I saw this product online. I was not into the color at all. When it arrived, I realized that it will work well as a base color this season. It's a warm, basic tan that I can layer under other shadows. Don't love it, but don't hate it either.

Two Faced Lip Injection Extreme: This is admittedly a cool product. However, I already have quite full lips. I would have liked to have received a different high end product over this. I'll still try it out and see how it goes!

Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair! Deep Conditioning Mask: On the one hand, I'm not over the moon about receiving another hair mask after just getting one in my August bag. On the other, I love Briogeo products and will absolutely use this mask. I used the Luseta one from last month's bag already and am obsessed with how soft it left my hair. If this Briogeo one is anything like that one, then I'll be one happy camper.

How did your September bag turn out? This was a bit of a disappointment for me compared with the past few bags. Looking forward to October!

P.S. Did you see my August Ipsy bag? It was gorgeous!
