Good morning, afternoon, or evening wherever you lovely people are! :)
I hope you've grabbed a cup of coffee, and that you're all snuggled up and comfy!
Today I am bringing you a fun, and comfortable (keyword comfortable haha) fall look! Since I am very much so pregnant with twin boys, I want to be comfy while still looking put together!
Before I jump into the post, I want to apologize ahead of time for the lacking of "great" photos, close ups, etc. I spent the evening at a church event at the park, and was in a wheel chair the whole time and wasn't feeling too hot, so I took as many pictures as I could handle, so I apologize ahead of time :( anyway, lets jump into it!!
Today I am featuring two shops that I absolutely LOVE and adore, I will leave the links to their websites and also direct links to the products I am wearing from them, but I am so excited to jump in!

for my face, I really wanted a dark, and bold look since fall is rolling in tomorrow! I know this may be a bit heavy for some of you, but I honestly prefer more "bold" and out there looks! :)
EYES|| first step is always to prime, and for that I used Urban Decay original primer potion, and then proceeded to set it with my Anastasia Beverly Hills banana powder, which makes for a much more even, blendable shadow look in the end! :)
second step is taking Makeup Geek Cosmetics "Peach Smoothie" in my crease for a transition shade. What a transition shade is, is a color that is only a few shades darker than your natural skintone that you apply into your crease and blend upwards to your brow bone, what this does is make your smokey eye, or general eye look much more effortless and beautiful looking! It transitions the darker shades, to the lightest, which is where the term "transition shade" comes from!
third step was using Makeup Geek "Frappe" to deepen the crease color slightly. I then proceeded with a discontinued MAC Cosmetics shade, but its highly comparable to "Sketch" by MAC, so if you have that, or any deep plum/eggplant shadow, it'll do perfectly! I used this shade to deepen my outer "V" and make for a much smokier look! I then turned to my Urban Decay NAKED Palette and used the shade "Toasted" which is a gorgeous pink/gold shade, and blended that out with Urban Decay "Virgin" and "Sin" and the shadow was finished! All I did to finish the look off was use my SEPHORA Waterproof gel liner and created a wing :) I then applied a light coat of mascara, and then Ardell "Natural" lashes! (You know you come from a good family when your brother says "Sister, are you wearing fake lashes? They look so natural! They have to be individual lashes, right?") hahaha, it was such a proud sister moment! His wife has taught him well ;)
FACE|| I primed with a Hydrating primer by Make Up For Ever, then sprayed MAC Fix+ for extra hydration, applied my NARS Sheer Glow in shade Siberia, with NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Chantilly, set it with MAC Sheer pressed powder, bronzed with Too Faced bronzer, and contoured with Makeup Geek shadow in Barcelona Beach, and ended with MAC Mocha blush :)
LIPS|| Originally, I used Colour Pop Cosmetics "Creature" lip pencil and lip stick, but then I was like "hmm.. I'm going to be eating an In N Out cheeseburger, better wear a nude" haha, so that's what the color change is! The nude I ended up wearing was Urban Decay liner in Liar, with YSL #10

So simple, so comfy, and so meaningful to me!
I wore some dark brown strappy sandals with black leggings from Forever 21, because shucks, I'm pregnant and want to be comfy! :) I paired it with a burgundy vest from Forever 21, and a shirt that I am utterly obsessed with and so in love with by a shop called TT and Twins.

So easy and simple, I used my Cinder turban by Mama Owl Shop, twisted some strands of hair and tucked it into the back of my turban, pinned them in place, and teased the grown slightly so it had more volume! :)
