Maybelline has come out with a collection of creamy matte lipsticks for Fall. I love matte lipstick so when I saw these I knew I had to test them out. I ended up purchasing Nude Embrace a pale caramel nude and Darling Nude a Rosy Nude. They both have a creamy texture which gives your lips the much needed moisture they crave when wearing a matte lip. They retail for $7.99 and can be found at your local drugstore or Harmon's Discount. Ulta also has them available here.

Happy Autumn! This entry is a list of some of my favorite brown colored lipsticks and liners. I figured since today is the first day of Fall and 90's lips are definitely on trend it would give you some options to check out for the season. Enjoy! If you have a favorite that you love to wear please share! I am always looking for new lip products to try out!

So excited about this baby! It's a cool toned palette of six new Urban Decay shadows. There are five matte and one demi-matte shade for a highlight.

I love the colors of this palette. If you tend to gravitate towards taupes, this will speak your language. I do wish the highlight shade was a tad lighter like in the original Naked Basics (Venus) but other than that the colors are perfect.

If packing light is something you look for when packing up your makeup bag than this is a great option for you. It's very travel friendly. You will have everything you need from highlight (even for your cheeks!) to your eyeliner in one perfectly sized package.

Fall has come ladies and gents. This brand new palette from Smashbox has you covered all season with it's rich cherry hues and neutrals. Each shade is buttery smooth and the pigments are perfect. I love a good reddish eyeshadow and this palette just needed a place in my collection. I can see myself using this daily. With it's mix of matte and shimmer you have all the textures you will ever need plus three nice highlighting shades and two deep smokes. Retailing at $39 it's affordable and gorgeous.

just look at those shades! swoooon!

This post is the third palette from Stila's new collection and probably the last one I will be purchasing and reviewing. The forth palette includes a lot of purple and I'm pretty picky about purples but you can find that one here, it's called Body.

This beauty is called Spirit and it is beyond lovely. It reminds of a mix of the Soul & Mind palettes mixed together in a way but then again not. Neutrals are there but also a pop of color for instance, a burgundy. It includes a mixture of shimmer and matte textures. I would say this is the creamiest out of the three palettes I purchased but I'm not sure if it's because it was out in my mailbox all day in the heat or if it's the textures themselves.

Like all the other palettes in this glamorous collection, it is encased in a golden (rose gold for this one) mirrored compact complete with a full mirror.
