Fall Hump Haves: Accessories 2013

Dear Friends,
How ya' doing? I really apologize difficulties. I've been knee-deep in school and track and had this post scheduled to be posted on Wednesday the 9th but it never did. None the less, the show shall go on!
                                        

Today I just wanted to share with you a couple of my favorite things for the Fall and Autumn seasons, accessory wise.

I like to keep my outfits really simple but with a few fun pieces here and there. So let's start with beanies. Yes, oh how I adore them! They are so soft, so cute, so comfortable, and can style up any outfit! These are two of my favorites especially the colorful one that I got from Forever 21 last winter.

Sticking the the head and working down I guess I love bows! Its bows before Bros ladies! Haha, bows are so cute and you can wear them year round especially in the fall. School makes us tired y'know and if you are having a bad hair day just throw that fro up in a bun or a ponytail with a bow and you are good to go!

Next thing I love are a few jewelery pieces. And before you ask, yes that is a a button with earrings in it. I keep all of my jewelery in a box and I find that sticking my studs in buttons helps to keep them from getting lost and make for easy access. Another piece of jewelery I like for the Fall are long necklaces. I tend to wear a lot of plain baggy tee shirts and skinny jeans and with a long necklace over it I think it just looks perfect.

Then you can never go wrong with a watch, especially layered! And last but certainly, absolutely not the least, Ear Cuffs!

My lovely older sister went to Forever 21 recently and bought a few ear cuffs and was nice enough to give me one (I would have stolen it from her anyways) and I am obsessed! It looks so cool and adds to this cool and edgy look I've been developing lately. Plus, you don't need a piercing to wear it! Incredible right! Now I can actually say that I gained without the pain.

BOOM!

Anyways that is all for today or well rather night where I am.

Falling Out of Summer: "My Fall PLaylist 2013"

Dear Friends,
How ya doing? This month (or well last month when this goes up) I didn't post my annual Hump Day Faves (DON'T SHOOT) mainly because most if not all of my favorites were going to show up in my Fall Must-Haves. But I still wanted to share with you all what music i've been listening seeing as it changes so frequently.

And then the idea came..

Why not dedicate an entire page to my favorite music for the season! Or month, I haven't decided yet.

"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
