Fall Makeup Must haves!

Assalamu wa Alaykum/ Hi,

Since we're fully in the season of Fall, I thought that I would share my fall makeup essentials.

1. Rose Gold

For some reason rose gold seems especially relevant in the fall to me. So, this is the month that I pull out anything and everything rose gold. In the picture above I have my beloved Naked 3 palette and my BECCA rose gold highlighter.

2. Bold Lips

This one is a fall universal for everybody. Dark lips in the fall are more than appropriate they're almost a requirement. So, my picks are MAC's 'Rebel',Cailyn lipgloss, Maybelline's 'Divine Wine' and Plum lip gloss

3. Mauve lips

This a newer trend. I told myself I wouldn't talk about the Kylie Jenner lip trend, but here I am talking about it. Everyone wants the dark rose lip color. A suggestion from me would be Maybelline's 'Touch of Spice.'

4. Dark Eyes

Fall is the season of intense color. We see it in nature and we also reflect it in our makeup. Two of my picks for this are Colourpop Cosmetics eyeshadows in Bae and Shameless

5. Bold Cheeks

Just like every other part of the face, cheeks can be bold during the Fall. One blush that I particularly like that may be considered unusual is NARS' blush 'Taj Mahal.'

So, That's it.What are your fall essentials?

Until Next Time,

Favorite Makeup Look # 2

Assalamu wa Alaykum/ Hi,

This is another one of my favorite make up looks. It took more time than I would have preferred. I would probably wear this look if I was going out with friends.

All of the products that I used are in the picture above except for Maybelline color tattoo in the color 'Pomegranate Punk.'

1) I applied foundation using Maybelline's Superstay in the shade 'Caramel'
2) I used Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind Darspot treatment eraser as an under eye concealer
3) I used my third blush in my Inglots palette- The pink one
4) I used Maybelline's color tattoo in 'pomegranate punk' all over my lid as a base
5) I applied 'Toasted' from the Naked palette on my lid below my crease
6) I applied a reddish brown color from the Sephora palette in my crease and blended upward; keep applying until you get the intensity that you want
7) I made a winged liner using the black gel liner in the Sephora palette
8) I applied 'Sin' from the Naked palette in my inner tear duct and 'Virgin' on my browbone
9) I applied Maybelline Colorsensation lipgloss in the color 120 'Plum Luster'
10) I applied MAC's 'Rebel' in the center of my lips

Comments? Suggestions?

Until Next Time:)

Review: MAC Lipstick in Rebel

Assalamu wa Alaykum/ Hi,

I've seen this lipstick around on YouTube before but lately it just really caught my eye. I was like 'I need that in my life.' So, I bought it and now I'm reviewing it for you guys.

 

So above is a picture of the lipstick along with a couple of swatches. On the upper right is a picture of the swatch with the flash on and one the bottom right is a picture without the swatch. This lipstick is the perfect fall color. Although I can't experience fall here in Dubai I'm definitely feeling the spirit. It looks darker in the tube than it does swatched. Well, in person it looks darker in the tube. The flash in that picture on the left kind of lightened the color. It's a beautiful berry color.

This lipstick is a satin. So, it's a bit more moisturizing than a matte like my Lady Danger lipstick but it stays on for quite a while. It also has a slight sheen to it. This lip stick stains your lips. I like that because I find that reapplying lip products can be really bothersome at times. Usually I'm too lazy to do it. I bought this lipstick at the MAC counter in Dubai Mall for 100 AED. That's around 27 dollars. My impatience has caused me to get ripped off once again. These retail in the US for 15 dollars.

Above is a picture of the lipstick about a hour after I applied it. I couldn't take a picture as soon as I applied it because I was running late. I wasn't wearing a lip liner with this but I think I'll definitely look for one when I get back to NY. I can just imagine the looks I would be able to create with this lipstick if I paired it with different lip liners. I think the lipstick goes well with my skin tone. In fact I think anyone with any skin tone could definitely wear this lipstick!

So, if you couldn't already tell I love this lipstick. It has definitely become a new favorite of mine. If you're considering buying it you should definitely go for it!

So, That's it.

Until Next Time,

Aleema :)
