Autumn Goodies: Eyes Part I

Here are some more items that I own that I will be using a lot this fall and winter season. These are all great colors. They give off a very warm and cozy vibe.

I'll be splitting the "eyes" up into 2 different posts. Let me know if you've tried any of these products and if they'll be in your fall rotation.

MAC Dare to Dare

So the only thing I ended up picking up from the In the Groove collection was the Dare to Dare lipglass. It's a really pretty pink with blue glitter in it. The blue glitter gives the lipglass a purplish appearance. It's really pretty for day if you use it lightly and great for night when you layer it on.

Band of Roses
So MAC's In the Groove Collection comes out today. It looks pretty nice. I really like some of the blushes that they are coming out with. That's basically all I'm interested in at the moment but I'll look at everything when I get to the counter. Here are the 3 blushes that caught my eye. Are any of you thinking about getting something from this collection?

Combos

Hello, I have been on a combo kick lately. I've tried combining a few mascaras and lipsticks/lip glosses and here are some of the combos I've been liking lately.

The first one is Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in Pink Chic (right) layered under Maybelline Colorsensational lipstick in Pink Plaza (left). It gives almost a lavender tone to your lips. Very pretty.

The next combo is Maybelline's Lash Stiletto (top), applied first, then Rimmel's Glam'Eyes. This combo gives great length and volume. It can get a bit clumpy though so be careful.

Here's me wearing the first two combos:

The last combo is Revlon's Blush lipstick with MAC's Prrr lipgloss on top. This is very nice combo.

Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Concealer

I am always on the look out for the perfect concealer.  I normally wear MAC Studio Sculpt Concealer which I really like because it gives good coverage and is moist. I'm still on the look out for a better concealer though because I feel like I need extreme coverage and although the Studio Sculpt does give great coverage I feel like I need more.   

 I was excited to try the Dream Matte Mousse Concealer by Maybelline because I had tried the foundation in the past and thought it was a bit too thick so I thought the concealer would be thick too.  I think there were 5 different shades and I got Ivory Light 235.  The shade is bit too light but once I put foundation over it you can't really tell.   Unfortunately, the mousse is very dry and doesn't blend easily.  I won't purchase it again but I will try and mix it with some moisturizer or something to see if it is more useable.
