Fall Inspired Affordable Makeup

Fall has finally graced us with its presence and I couldn't be more excited about it! It's my all time favorite season, and given that I live in Florida I cant necessarily enjoy the changes in nature. So I thought I'd do the next best thing. Change up my makeup routine!

Now I'm not exactly rolling in $100 bills so I opted to go the more affordable route by looking into reasonably priced items. I took a more natural approach as you can see below in my most recent video, but I'd like to do something a little bit more dramatic here on the blog so stay tuned.

The e.l.f. eyeshadow quad I picked up pleasantly surprised me with its color payoff, and quality. They're soft as well as blendable and contained a beautiful range of colors that reminded me of the changing leaves. Would be a great product to throw in your bag, and I'm looking forward to grabbing more of these. The eyeliner was also a good buy. No smudging and easy to apply, which is saying something because you and I both know liquid eyeliner can be a nightmare. NYX lipstick is pretty much always a safe bet. I felt the color I chose was flattering and worked well with my skin tone.

Moving on to products I wasn't too in love with. The NYX Faux Lashes mascara was kind of a dud. The concept was alright, I always love a good fiber mascara, but it ended up getting all over the place. I had little fibers all under my eyes, which is not ideal. The waterproof concealer was actually really nice and I got complements on my skin the days I've worn it. The only thing I would say is consider using it as more of a substitute for foundation or to cover breakouts/ redness as it separated under my eyes. Other than that I'd say for under $20 I did alright!
