7 Beauty Products to Get You Ready For Fall

Sad (or happy depending on your opinion of the seasons) as it is to say, summer will officially be over in just a few days.  This can not only create a change in the weather, but also a change in the way we do our makeup. There are certain special colors that match the season we are in that we can use to create specific looks.  I will be doing more posts on fall makeup/skincare, as well as my fall routine once I've chosen mine :).  But today I wanted to show you 7 products (most of which you can find in the drugstore) that I think are great for autumn.  Let me know what you think in the comments below and enjoy!

1. Covergirl 3 in 1 Outlast Stay Fabulous Foundation: Now that it's fall, you can feel safe going a bit more full coverage and it's a good time to get back Into foundations (if you haven't already).  This is my current favorite foundation because it covers so well and lasts super long, so I can usually just skip the step of my routine I hate using: concealer. If you want me to do a review on this, just let me know!

2. ELF Duo Eyeshadow Cream: I forgot to mention this in my last haul, but there was one mistake in my order.  Instead of getting the eyebrow mascara, I got this in the shades butter pecan.  It's only a dollar, and it's hard to tell from the picture, but I think it's a good duo with perfect shades for fall, with a nice light brown and then darker one also.  It seems good for beginners or a basic autumn look.

3. ELF Contouring Blush and Bronzing Cream:  This is another product I got in my last haul.  I think the blush inside is great for fall, a nice deeper color, and the contour is a nice shade also.  Both of these colors really made me think of this season, and they are only 3 dollars, so another awesome ELF product!

4.  Burt's Bees Replenishing Lip Balm:  This has been a long-time favorite of mine, especially during fall.  My lips tend to get quite dry and chapped around this time, and this seriously works wonders!  It also gives a nice natural color (in the flavor cherry) that's just right.  

5.  Physician's Formula Happy Booster Glow & Mood Boosting Powder:  I have so much to say about this product, and this brand, I'll probably have to do a separate review on it.  I've had it for quite some time, and it has lasted me so long and hasn't hit the pan still!  I love this because it has so many different shades you can use, with the regular powder for all over the face, the darker parts for bronzer, and even a pink heart for blush!  This product is great for anytime, but for some reason I felt like it's awesome for fall also.  I'd definitely recommend it for beginners, since it can be multi-purpose and can work for a variety of skin tones.  I just love it!

6.  Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Stain:  I feel like berry is a good color for fall, and this lip stain is fairly long-lasting and is a really beautiful color in my opinion.  

7.  ELF Matte Lip Color:  The last product on this list is another elf one (I just love this brand) and I got it in the shade coral, which I believe is another ideal shade for fall.  It's a pretty decent color and it only cost 3 dollars, so I would definitely recommend trying it out!

Best Makeup Brush Ever! (ELF POWDER BRUSH)

Those of you who read my last blog post know that I just recently received my first order from elf (eyes lips face).  Well, I promised that I would do reviews on some of the products I have gotten to try, and so now will be the first of those to come.  Also, on my last poll, product reviews was what you guys wanted the most, so I decided today I'd rave about my newest favorite brush!

A little background about me and makeup brushes: I really don't have all that many.  I literally didn't have any that I purchased separately until recently.  So maybe the best makeup brush ever is a little bit too high of a standard for you.  But let's just get right into it and I will tell you why it is my favorite!

Here's what it looks like:

The Details:

-flat top brush (pretty dense)

-synthetic 

-nice soft hairs

-3 dollars

Ok keep in mind this my first review on a brush before so don't get too upset. How about I just talk about why I like this and skip that list?  So this brush on the package says it is meant for powder and blush, but also says it can be used on liquid foundation. The reason I got it was because I wanted a better brush to apply my powder with. But I've heard some people say they use it with their liquid foundation and I am thinking of trying that but so far I've only used it for my regular powder (almay hydrating powder) and my  physicians formula happy powder. 

Here's a closer view that should help you see the detailed fibers of the brush better:

Well, let me tell you: it worked amazing!!  It was definitely the softest feel I've ever felt on a brush, and it applied really smoothly!  I kinda brushed it down my face, but also stippled in certain areas.  Once again, really soft!  This brush isn't really the most well known from what I can tell, but it definitely deserves to be.  I'd definitely recommend you try it out, since even if you don't like it the price is only 3 dollars.  

Rating: 9.5/10!!!

You can find elf products at target and kmart for sure, but I haven't seen this brush in any of the stores, so your best bet is to order it online.  My tip for elf ordering: wait for a sale!
