Cravings for Fall

As I begin to see more of my favourite stores offerings for fall, I have been looking for a few things, but still am not sure what I will really obsess about this season.

Bright Colours

Oranges, Fuchsias, Greens - I would probably wear neutrals like browns and blacks with these.

That's all for now - though I have been trying to find some chunky jewellery. David Yurman being my most wanted for necklaces.

Shop Spotlight: Effy Jewelry

I came across this rather expensive brand of jewelry today. I have never heard of it before. They have so many unique pieces. I think I may have to make a purchase.

My favorite for now:

Vanity Table Accessories

So I bought some new make-up brushes, but have no where to place them on my vanity. I decided to go for a antique lipstick holder - they are much easier to keep clean that the glass containers filled with beads.




Here's another

I also want a mirror tray...we'll see if I can find a good one for a decent price.

Fragrance Picks

Even though I have allergies, I'm am not allowed to where perfume to many of the places I go - I do like to have a couple of different perfumes around. Here's a couple I have liked lately. You can often find a really great deal on ebay - but beware of fakes. I would try finding what you like in the department store - then go online to find that exact bottle & volume.


Dolce and Gabana Light Blue
Bvlgari II

Makeup Obsessions

Lately I have been watching a lot of makeup videos and learning about all the great products and techniques out there. Here are two of my favorite vlogs:


and


As a result, I have invested in some new beauty products. And I say invested because wow this stuff is expensive! I'm not going to review them just yet, but in case you are interested here are my recent purchases:

I wanted to try a couple of new foundations - especially wanted a couple with a bit stronger SPF protection for the summer - so we'll see how these two perform.

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer (oil-free)


You can buy on Ebay or sephora. $42



Shiseido Sun Protection Liquid Foundation


Buy on Ebay or place that sells full Shiseido product line (I didn't see it at the Bay). $30-32



I heard a lot of rave reviews about this stuff - so we'll see if it does indeed do anything interesting.

MAC Fix spray

Fix +

You can buy online at Ebay or at MAC. $19



I also wanted to update my brush set - but I found most brushes online fakes - and the good ones in store were insanely expensive. Here's what I bought:

Borghese Brush Set

Ebay or Costco (maybe only in the USA). $30-50
