Fall Lipsticks

I'm always up for trying a new lip color and lately I've wanted to try darker tones for November. It's hard to think about straying away from pink, but let's be daring this season. One I'm really wanting to get is MAC rebel. That is a super popular fall/ winter dark shade. Most skintones can do dark reds, but I am not one those people. If red suits you, go for it! More cool colors with undertones of plum and blue work well with neutral skin tones. Be brave and let go of pink!

This is NYX black label lipstick in Amethyst. It's got more shimmer in it than I would prefer, but it's a fun change!

Paul Mitchell Neuro Curling Wand

Curling wands have been a really popular styling tool the past couple years since wavy messy hair became more desired. The tight curls aka "winter formal 1998" has had it's moment. It's more of a look that you just woke up, rolled out of bed and it was just lovely. Victorias Secret girls have this look down. Let's be honest, it takes work for that look. Products like hair powders and dry shampoos help give you some texture and build up volume so it's not flat against your scalp.

I was in the market for a fun new styling tool and came across the new Neuro Paul Mitchell line at my local supply. I'll try to find a link to where they would be sold at. It's a 3 in 1 detachable curling wand. It has three different attachments for different looks. You get a 1" styling rod for loose curls, 1.25" styling cone for waves, and a mini .75 styling cone for tighter waves. I think it's really practical for stylist who do bridal styling so you don't have to carry all these tools and for the everyday woman it's nice to have 1 styling tool instead of buying three different wands. I love it! It heats up really fast and shows the temperature digitally. I can't wait to try different looks mixing the wands!

Here's what the 1.25" styling cone achieves. It gives you a messy wave when wrapped around the wand.

Cheers for waves!
