"Falling Out of Summer": My Fall Make-Up Bag/Beauty Routine

Dear Friends,
How ya doing? So update, "Falling Out of Summer" has been on a funky schedule because of school and is a bit more than a week which to be honest is awesome because I'm   having so much fun and I really hope you guys enjoy it.

Anyways, today I was going to share with you my Fall Makeup Routine but the pictures weren't coming out how I wanted so I did it as a "What's in my Makeup Bag" fall edition :)
 
My bag is D.I.Y and I know I said I would share with you how to make it but the pictures are funky and I really want it to be perfect for you guys.
 
Now the first things you may notice are my Sensual Amber products which are from Bath & Body Works. I am be doing a separate letter on those so stay tuned for that.

I like to sanitize my hands before anything so I always keep a mini hand sanitizer in my bag and the one I am using now is the Pumpkin scent from Bath & Body Works.

Next thing I do in the morning is after I wash my face and everything I apply my Clean and Clear Hydrating Gel Moisturizer which is my HOLY GRAIL moisturizer. This stuff to me is like a primer, it makes my skin SO smooth! Definitely recommend that.

After I moisturize depending on their condition, I will moisture my lips with either my Nivea Lip Butter (another holy grail) or my EOS lip balm(it tastes so good).
I like to just brush out my eyebrows and shape them a bit in the morning and give my lashes just a quick comb through.

I keep make up very minimal for school so next I just line my upper waterline with my Jordana Quickliner in Black 001. And because I more than likely got minimal to no sleep at all I line my lower lash line with the Rimmel London Scandeleyes in Taupe which is less harsh on my skin tone than the nude one that everyone loves.

For an inner corner highlight I have three options which depends on my mood that day.
A) Take a matte or minimal shimmer shadow from my e.l.f palette.
B) Use my new NYX Loose Shadow pigment(review soon to come)
C) Take my Rimmel London pencil, take a bit on my index finger, and then apply to inner corners.

Yes, the latter is my lazy choice because I am usually running late in the mornings.

Now it is time for mascara which as I've mentioned before is a hit or miss for me. I think I need to start buying lighter formulas because the blackest of black is a bit harsh on me, I still have a bit of a baby face!

That's why I apply a thin even coat of my Maybelline Great Lash Lots of Lashes and then comb through them to separate and get rid of any clumps as well as just make them look a bit more natural.
I don't normally put any on my bottom lashes but if I do it would be the Maybelline Great Lash in Waterproof because I like that brush a lot better than the new one.

I like to have variety when it comes to lips but lately I have been sticking to my new NYX lip pencil in "Natural" which is just a really pretty natural pink shade.

When I want something more I go for one of these.

From left to right: H&M lip gloss, Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in "Roman Holiday", Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm in "Hibiscus", NYX Lip Pencil in "Natural", Revlon Super Lustrous Pearl in "Wild Orchid"

Then I go ahead and put on some smell goods and fix my hair, then I am out the door.

That's it for today! Hope you enjoyed:)

What is your Morning Must-Have?

Have an awesome day.
Spread the Good Vibes!
Sincerely, Atira
