Current Beauty Obsessions: Fall 2013 Edition

Bronze Eyeliner- Urban Decay 24/7 or Tarte Waterproof Clay

I usually wear basic brown or black eyeliner, but I am really liking bronze eyeliner currently and it coordinates well with Fall colors. It adds a bit of shimmer, but is not full-on middle school sparkle. It's nice for nights out or special occasions.

Purple "smokey eye"- Josie Maran Beautiful Eyes

I love a good smokey eye and I like trying it out with different color palettes, instead of just the usual black/gray colors. This purple quad was a nice addition. It is a bit shimmery, but since the color is not too pigmented, I think it works well. It isn't too dramatic, but adds a little pop to your face.

Super Red Nail Polish- Zoya "Pepper"

I like a good fierce red nail polish color during the Fall and Winter and this color from Zoya is really nice. I am a fan of this brand of nail polish, because they have a great range of colors and the nail polish is chemical-free and not tested on animals.

Current Beauty Obsessions: Spring/Summer Edition

There are three current beauty trends that I am excited about using right now. I think they are great for summer.

#1: Bright Pink Nail Polish

This is a great summer color. It's a little different from a typical bright pink color. It has a bit of neon to it when you put it on. I like SPARitual's Dreamsicle, but Butter and Zoya also have a similar color as well.

#2: Purple Eyeliner

I was a bit hesitant about this. I usually stick with neutral colors like black or brown for my eyeliner. I saw photos of Keri Russell and Olivia Wilde wearing purple eyeliner and I really liked how it looked. You could do a whole purple palette with your eyeshadow, but I like wearing it with neutral colors so that it is not overwhelming. For the purple eyeliner, I like Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil. They have a few different shades of purple ranging from brighter to a more muted tone. This one is Dark Eggplant Matte.

#3: Moroccan Oil

I've taken a little while to board this train. I've always been against voluntarily putting oil in my hair. I've tried different oil products before and it never went well, but I was looking for something to help with the dry ends of my hair and I had heard good things about this, so I decided to give it a go. It turns out it's kind of a miracle product. This works really well on my hair. I put a small amount from the mid-length to the ends of my hair and it has made it soft and more manageable. A little goes a long way, which is good, because it's a little pricey.

So, those are my current three. I shall continue investigating for new beauty obsessions...
