Fall Fashion & Beauty Essentials

Monday, September 9, 2013
Fall is my favorite time of the year!! Cool weather, boots, pumpkin spice lattes, corn maizes and haunted houses! Doesn't get much better than that!!!

This fall is going to be full of Military Inspired fashion, purple/bold lips and cute big hats!

Here are a few of my favorites for this fall!!


Hats: I love the big floppy style hats!! Yes they kind of remind me of the Man with the Big Yellow hat off Curious George! But they are so cute and look super chic!!!

I found a few cheap alternatives on Love Cultures website but my favorite are the Free People Hats!
 Love Culture Hats
 Free People
The next are scarves!! I love the added style a scarf can add to your outfit!! No matter how plain your outfit is you can easily dress it up with a fun scarf!! This scarf from Free People is my ALL TIME FAVORITE Scarf!!
BOOTS & PURSES!! I wish I had these in person to show in the video but they haven't come in but you can bet I will have them in some outfit of the days!! These are the Patagonia boots!!! New customers get 20-50% off their first item! I love JustFab because they also have AMAZING PURSES!

Here is my link if your interested in picking up some cute boots for yourself :) http://www.justfab.com/invite/4826047/

 Jewelry!!!! I absolutely love the mixed metal look!!! I recently discovered Twisted-Silver and they have some gorgeous jewelry!!! Use the code SHADES for 15% off!! These are a few of my favorite pieces!!
 Both Necklaces combined MY FAVORITE WAY TO WEAR THEM

MAKEUP!!!! I always find I gravitate towards my cool tones shadows in the fall!! I love my Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette to achieve the look! Essie Lady Like is my favorite nail polish for fall! I think it is the perfect muted pinky nude color and looks great on fair- dark skin tones!!! It is classic and goes with any outfit!!! As far as blush goes I move more towards my mauvey, neutral, plum shades!!! I think they look so great on the cheeks and work for light to dark skin tones!!! Linked below are my MAC & Illasmasqua blush collections!! MAC Dame, Plum Foolery, Tarte Exposed, Illasmasqua Naked Rose are some of my favorite!!!


MAC BLUSH COLLECTION

Friday Favorites, Fails and Giveaway for Sept 6, 2013

Friday, September 6, 2013

I had so many fun products this week!! The first being some new hair care products from the brand Curly Hair Solutions. The first is the curler keeper! It is a water based so it does create build up or make your hair greasy but it keeps your hair freeze free and can be re-applied the next day!!! The next is the Slip detangler. I love this stuff!! It makes your comb glide through your hair so easily!!! This is idea for curly, wavy or frizzy hair!!

Curl Keeper: http://beautymo.tv?Cur1
Slip Detangler: http://beautymo.tv?Cur2
Free shipping with code: BMCHS1





Next was the Lush Let the Good Times Roll cleanser! This stuff smells so good!! It reminds me of banana bread with a hint of cinnamon.  It is a bit of a gritty cleanser in the texture of play dough. I find it gently exfoliates my skin without being too harsh! I highly recommend this!! Lush products can be purchased at Lush stores as well as http://www.lushusa.com  It appears it is a Christmas special so make sure to stock up during Christmas time. (photo from the Lush UK website)


The primer that has been my GO TO is the Rouge Bunny Rouge Matte Primer! The packaging is absolutely amazing! It is a frosted glass jar with a pump and a gorgeous black design! The primer keeps me matte all day long without using a matte foundation!!! I highly recommend checking out their products as they are amazing quality and adorable packaging!!!
http://en.rougebunnyrouge.com/mattifying-primer.html

The Urban Decay B6 Vitamin Infused Prep Spray! This is a fun treat for your skin! It has Vitamin B6 which helps control oil, Vitamin E for antioxidants, and Willowbark to help in cell generation turn over. I use this morning and night before my moisturizer and it just gives a nice refreshing mist to the face. It is also supposed to help reduce redness and tighten pores. I am not sure I have seen it do either of those but I am enjoying the spray for the oil control & vitamin benefits :) 






Oh Ben Nye how I love your powders!! The Banana Powder is VERY yellow and perfect for Medium+ skin tones! However for fair/light skin it is way to dark! I have always used the Cameo powder from Ben Nye and I got the genius idea to mix the two! I am loving the combination of both as they are the perfect shade and consistency for setting your under eyes!! Also gives you a great brightening effect and does not settle into your fine lines!!! Apply with a beauty blender and you are golden!!!

MAC Lush- Light Bronzer Careblend Bronzer is a soft silky texture warm toned bronzer! It is gorgeous on the skin and extremely blendable. This was a limited edition product but MAC does have the Careblend Powders in the permanent range, I would suggest just choosing a darker color so you can bronze with it :)






Last makeup favorite is the GORGEOUS Becca Mineral Blush in Gypsy!!! It is a gorgeous ballerina pink! It has the most gorgeous white-gold sheen to it and looks absolutely STUNNING on the cheeks! I think this is a universally flattering shade from pale skin to darker skin tones!! You can purchase Becca Products at Sephora.




My fashion favorite was the Emma Dress from SiHo. It is the perfect dress to transition into fall and can be paired with cute cowboy boots or edgy combat boots!!! I love it with a brown belt and some chunky jewelry!! This dress would also be SUPER cute with a denim jacket!!!

My giveaway with SiHo is going on from today September 6th - 20th and 1 winner will win an item of their choice of the website!! Feel free to shop the website and save 25% using the code KASSIE at checkout!! http://www.shopsiho.com

Jouer Matte Moisture Tint Demo & Get Ready With Me

Wednesday, September 4, 2013
I have been absolutely LOVING my Jouer Matte Moisture Tint. It has medium to buildable full coverage and has great wear time! I think my perfect match would be Nude but I mixed together Linen and Chamomile and was able to make a perfect match for my self tanned body!

I also adore the eye crayons! They are long wearing, extremely pigmented and don't budge once they set.

I found the cheek tints to be much more pigmented when using a brush vs finger and have amazing pigmentation and give a great natural flush to the cheeks. The thing I love about the cheek tints is you can have a light application or build it up to be quite dramatic.

The blush and bronzer are so creamy, smooth and blendable! Again another product I find to be more pigmented when applied with a brush vs swatched with your finger. They are long lasting and looked natural on the cheeks. The bronzer was also a great all over bronzer as well as a great contour shade!

The moisturizing lipsticks are just that, MOISTURIZING! They feel so creamy and smooth on the lips and slip and slide all over like some "moisturizing" lip products I have tried in the past! The glosses are very smooth as well. They are more on the sheer side but are a great topper for your lipstick.

If you missed the haul where I swatched the products here it is
