Soft Aqua

I've been a little obsessed with this cheek color lately, Innocent Flush by L'Oreal.
I thought I'd try a lipstick I love but hate on me. It's the NYX black label lipstick in Tea Rose.
It's an absolutely beautiful color but it looks terrible on me. I thought if I mixed another
color in it that I could pull it off. I think I did ok. Enjoy!

Soft Caramel Colors for Fall

OK, so these pictures are TERRIBLE! But I promise you, the look was absolutely adorable.
I loved it. I wanted to do a fall look that wasn't so vampy and I'm really happy with the way it turned out.
I used the Pixi by Petra Ultimate Beauty Kit 2nd Edition, but really you can use
anything you already have in the same color family. Have fun!

Affordable (Drugstore) Makeup for Fall

Today I wanted to do a warm, rich Fall look using some of my favorite drug store goodies. Some of the Primers, my foundation, and one my powders is Mary Kay but everything else is from your local drug or super store. There are great things out there. I really love the Physicians Formula Warm Nudes Palette. I've had it for a couple of years. If you love the colors in the Urban Decay Naked (Original) palette but either can't justify the price or can't really splurge that much on makeup, this Physician's Formula palette is an absolutely beautiful dupe. I love it.
I hope you enjoy this tutorial and, as always, if you try it out be sure to use the hashtag #natslife on your social media so I can see!
