I am a sucker for smoky eyes.  And, I especially love it during the Fall and Winter months because it just adds drama to any outfit.  But, what I truly love about wearing smoky eyes during Fall and Winter is that you can pair it with rich, deep, berry lips and it will absolutely stop traffic.
I created this look because later that day (in the evening honestly) we were going to the County Fair that only happens once a year.  I wanted something that would last all day and that I could use from Day to Night.  Honestly, I had this look on from about 10am to about 11am.  If you want to see my Makeup Removal routine and one of my night time skin care routines, you can check out that video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPLvzfG2GWQ  I was actually using this makeup look on that night when I filmed that video.

I’m a bit late with posting my Friday Favorites this week.  So much so… that I’m posting it on a Sunday. lol  I did have it uploaded but the audio was completely weird… so I had to re-edit and reupload again today, instead of on Saturday like I had planned.Anywho – I hope you guys enjoy it… I feature a couple of new products that I tried out this week.  Have a wonderful week.  And, if you can’t view the embedded video – click here to watch on YouTube.

I finally filmed and got up my first Halloween Makeup Tutorial for 2013.  I have a few more planned out, but decided I would start with this one since it is fairly easy to create and fun as well.  I had a lot of laughs creating it as well as the video intro and outro. lol

Yay – it’s Fall and I am so excited that this season is here. In celebration of the season, I decided that I would do a makeup look that would encompass some of my favorite color combinations for this time of year. I also decided to do a look to enter into the ELF Haul Girl contest, so this turned out to be the look. Check out the video tutorial embedded below as well as all the photos with the look. A list of products can be found below as well.
