Chit Chat: Upcoming Collections

So I wanted to take this post just to kind of talk to you guys.

MAC has some upcoming collections that I am just dying to get my hands on. I know for a fact that a Lorde collection and a Maleficent collection are coming out (Lorde and MAC have tweeted about them).

I'm thinking the collections are going to look relatively similar. I imagine the Lorde collection will have some neutral eye shades with some dark berrys and reds for the lips. And for Maleficent, I imagine quite a few blacks and purples, as well. 

Does anyone else have any ideas?

I'm also eager to find out if Sephora will release another Disney collection soon!

Unfortunately, I never got my hands on any of the previous collections (although I tried my best to get the Ariel palette).

I've heard some rumors that Belle and Aurora will be next, but I haven't seen any official release dates, or talk of these collections!

Anyone have any ideas?

What upcoming collections are you guy looks forward to?

Completed Look: Makeup for Traveling!

Hi lovelies, happy Saturday / almost Superbowl Sunday!

I know I'm just barely getting this post up in the schedule that I set for myself, but time somehow got away from me this week. Anyywayyyyy.....

I'm so excited to say that I'm leaving for Disney pretty soon, and it's time to start deciding on what to bring and what to wear. To gear up for my upcoming trip, don't be surprised to see an excessive amount of travel-related posts (such as this one.) Today, I wanted to show you guys a quick and easy, "travel-proof" face of makeup that I will more than likely be sporting on my nearing plane ride. So let's begin!

Covergirl Outlast 3-in-1 Foundation

Benefit Gimme Brow

Maybelline Great Lash Lots-of-Lashes

Maybelline Color Tattoo (Barely Branded)

E.O.S. lip balm

Face: Yes, I know. I just blogged about this foundation, but that's how much I love it! This foundation is perfect for travel because it's long wearing and primer, powder, and even concealer isn't needed with this. Slap some on, and you're good to go - wherever you're going!

Eyes: No primer or brush needed! Cream eyeshadows are ideal for long days spent in the car or on a plane/train - they won't budge and touch-ups are rarely needed! This color specifically helps brighten your eyes and tie together a look. Swipe on a few coats of this Maybelline mascara, and your lashes will look amazing without smudging or flaking throughout the day! Top it off with a bold brow (that takes literally seconds to achieve) and you're ready to conquer your day of traveling.

Lips: When I'm traveling, the last thing I want to be worried about is my lipstick smudging or wearing off, so applying just a lip balm is the only way to go! Obviously any kind will do, but this one happens to be one of my favorites. 

The best part about this whole look is that it can be achieved using absolutely zero brushes. Too tired to get ready before you leave the house? Take a small makeup bag and get ready at the airport!

What's your beauty essential when you're traveling? Let me know! 

I hope you guys enjoyed this post, and keep a lookout for future travel posts, too!

My Favorite Fall/Winter Lip Colors

Hi all :)

A few weeks ago, I made a few small purchases from Sephora and my local drug store, mostly consisting of lip sticks. I was in the search of "appropriate" deep, dark colors for this time of year and I came away with these . . . 

From left to right: Sephora Collection Color Lip Last (16, Orange Rocks) / Sephora Collection Color Lip Last (20, Wanted Red) / Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick (477, Black Cherry)

I am a bit unconventional when it comes to the colors I wear throughout the different seasons, and that was no exception in this purchase! Both Sephora lipsticks are matte, while the Revlon lipstick is a creme color.

The color on the left is a beautiful bright, orange, which seems quite odd for a season where you would normally wear dark lip colors. But this adds a perfect pop of color to any outfit without being too summer-y. The matte texture of it too makes it feel more "winter," as well.

There's not much to say about the middle color other than it's basically a Fall/Winter essential: your typical true red. Perfect with any outfit you could wear during the colder months.

The last color on the right is possibly my favorite lip color to wear at the moment. A highly pigmented, yet build-able purple-wine color that dresses up any outfit. The actual color payoff is quite different than how it appears in the tube (refer to the color swatches above), but I find it even more beautiful to be honest.

Each of these colors are absolutely gorgeous and "season-appropriate" in their own right (I've included more pictures below that are close-ups.) I 100% adore these colors, and I hope you do, as well! :)
