Fall Beauty Favorites

I have been meaning to get into more beauty posts.  I would love to post more reviews and eventually get into tutorials but that will all come in time.  This month I have been getting into beauty items more than I have been in the past few months.  If I wrote about all the lipsticks I tried this month you would be reading for about an hour.  Fall is all about bold colors: bright cheeks and dark lips.  I also believe that fall is one of the best times for makeup in general because it dose not melt off your face and the air is not as dry as the winter months.

1.  I purchased this eye pallet a while ago and the colors are phenomenal.  I really liked this pallet because the pans are so small... this may sound strange but I never ever use up eyeshadows.  It is so compact and is perfect for a full fall look, I especially love the green.

2.  This MAC blush in "So Sweet So Easy" has been my go-to it gives me such a rosy complexion and I am in love.  The pigment, like most MAC blush is phenomenal and long wearing.  

3. Although I usually wear false lashes I love this for the days I don't.  It last all day with no flaking or smudging and extends lashes like no other.  By far my favorite mascara of all. 

4. I just reviewed this facial cleanser here, but thought I would touch on how great it is once again.  It cleanses the skin clear of makeup, dirt, and oils gently without stripping the skin of natural oils needed to keep the skin hydrated.  It is a gel cleanser and is gentle enough for removing eye makeup.  It is a great buy.  

5. This seems really simple and it is.  This is just an angles eyeliner brush but I got a new one at the beginning of the month and the little things excite me.  I is so easy to apply eyeliner with a new brush so I thought I would include it. 

6. This one of two lipsticks and it was really difficult to narrow it down to just two of them.  I must say that this one surprised me.  I happened to purchase this at CVS simply because Milani cosmetics were on sale and I can not resist a sale.  This one is called "Sangria" and that is just what it is!  This lipstick is such a beautiful color!  I will be sure to swatch it for you later.  It is such a beautiful purple. 

7. Next is another drugstore lipstick and it is "Black Cherry", an extremely deep plum color that is moisturizing as well as  luxurious on the lips.  I can't even express my love for deep lips throughout the winter this will continue to be a favorite of mine.

bedroom inspiration

bedroom inspiration by kayleemills featuring an antique white mirror

Since I am so serious about having my own apartment I thought I would put together some inspiration.  I am in love.  First of all, white is my new best friend, it's just so chic!  And my love for gold is never ending.  The two together make the perfect pair. I am also a mirror fanatic and the floor length one is something that my bedroom will not be complete without.

The bed has to be my favorite part I searched for hours and finally found this somewhat affordable one through Target for $550!  The accent pillows will pull the bed together. I was thinking of light gray walls, but my mind changes every day (I also love plum and the thought of a classic white with overly decorated walls).

One thing is for sure, my room will be filled with candles.  I love the Voluspa ones and the Branche Vermeil is the perfect sent for the holidays.  I also love Mokara for a fresh sent and French Cade Lavender for a "clean boy out of the shower" sent.

Stay tuned for more apartment inspiration.

Current Obsession: hats

J.Crew j crew hat / Uniqlo brimmed hat / H&M brimmed hat, $24 / Beanie hat, $13

This upcoming season has gotten me in the craze for hats.  In the past, scarves have been my obsession, but this season my love for hats is growing.  After already purchasing a Kardashian inspired wide brimmed hat I find myself gravitating towards other colors of this same hat (yes, I'm addicted), as well as other styles.  

 Hats are an accessory that take some thought.  Pick one that looks good against your hair tone.  Also, make sure that your outfit balances out. 

1.  For a wool baseball cap I would go for a sporty outfit, possibly some wedged sneakers, an embellished sweatshirt, utility jacket, and skinnies.  

2.  For a fall fedora I would pair it with a chambray shirt, some fall colored denim (maroon, gray, and brown are my favorites).  Some cute flats (animal print is always fun), and an optional scarf for those cooler days.

3.  For this wide brimmed hat I would go all out.  A patterned shirt with some embellished sleeves, fur vest, skinny jeans and fun booties would create an outstanding, show stopping look.  

4.  Last but not least for the transitional beanie anything is possible.  I love beanies for lounging around in a cozy sweater and leggings, but they are also great with a statement jacket. 

I would love to know your favorite style of hat!
