Favorite Lipsticks

If there is one thing I love - it is lipstick. In my opinion, lipstick is the most interesting form of makeup. There is so many different shades and different ways you can put it on - it's quite lovely. You can mix shades, overlap shades, you can even use lipstick on your cheeks as blush that is how unique it is. Here are some of my favorite lipsticks of all time.

The Classic Red Lip

I think a red lip is a must for everyone. Red lipstick signifies confidence and power and to me - that is sexy. Anyone no matter what skin tone or how old you are can rock a red lip. The particular color I'm wearing in this photo is Mac Cosmetics Viva Glam Rihanna in 01. I think this shade is the absolute perfect red - not on the verge of burgundy but also not to sheer and almost a pinkish color. 

Plumpish

This color is more daring, if you will. Obviously, not everyone will want to wear this shade out or even wear it at all. I think it is a gorgeous plum shade that would work amazing in Autumn. I really love this lipstick from Covergirl called  Entangled. Not only does it give you an amazing deep plum color but I find that it actually gives my lips a little plumpness. 

Femininely 

This color is one of my "go-to" "in a hurry" shades. It is a nude color with pink undertones. Its perfect for everyday wear. I think it is a very girl and sweet innocent shade. This could be perfectly paired with a smokey eye. This lipstick is by Clinique and is called Think Bronze. 

Nudeness

This shade is my absolute favorite nude lipstick. Its Kate Moss' Lasting Finish Lipstick in the shade 14. I pair mine with just a plain clear gloss from Lancome. I especially love it because of how well it correlates with my skin tone. It is my perfect nude lipstick. 

Date Night

If I did go on dates, this is something that I would wear. It is the perfect combination of bold but subtle. This shade is by Makeup Forever that comes in the Sephora Beauty Insiders birthday gift this year. It sort of a cross between a mauve pink and a coralish orange. It is a beautiful color for all skin tones and perfect for a date night and casual days.

Autumn Lookbook Inspired by "Her"

Recently, i've just seen the movie Her. I absolutely loved the movie and was really touched by it. It was a different love story and was incredibly made. During the movie, I really enjoyed the outfits they wore. They were very indie - if you will - outfits. There were a lot of mixing patterns, collars and relaxed outfits.

Outfits

Relaxed Patterns

This outfit I focused on mixing patterns in a subtle way. I paired this black and white polka dot button up from H&M with this genuine army jacket from the thrift store to mix up the patterns. I then just added plain dark wash skinnies and rolled up the cuffs to add a more relaxed vibe. The cross body fringe bag is from Aeropostale and my boots are Doc Martens. 

 

Oversized and Messy 

        

For this outfit I wanted to make it a much more feminine and dressier feel. I paired this way too oversized knit sweater - hand me down - with this blue tartan pencil skirt from Tommy Hilfiger. To add more femininity I added this necklace from the thrift store and these jelly oxfords from Love Culture. 

Effortlessly Casual

When I put this outfit together, I focused heavily on the character Amy. I realized throughout the movie that she loved to layer and it looked effortless and classy. In this outfit I am wearing a blue Ralph Lauren button up with a beige sweater from H&M layered on top. My trousers are from H&M and heels are also from H&M.
