Fall-ing Away


Now that Fall is officially here feel free to fall back and play it cool with all the rich colors this season has to offer. If you have yet to get the guts to wear smouldering eyes or berry, rich lips, today is the day. This look by NARS Cosmetics got daring and played up both the eyes and lips. FYI this trend is hot this cooler season. If you prefer to play it safe smoke up those eyes or wine-up those lips.
Happy Fall!!
Spotlight: As you Fall away with all the rich trends this season, make sure your spiritual life doesn't do the same. Mark 4:17 tells us this,
"But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away."
I pray this Fall season as you watch the trees loose their leaves and appear dead, you will be reminded that they are rooted well. They are very much alive because their roots are strong. As you face times that make you feel lifeless be encouraged.
"Blessed is the man who does not fall away." Matthew 11:6
Be rooted well as you enjoy Fall-ing Away (smokey eyes and all!! :))

Makeup Wardrobe Must-Haves




This season makeup is getting sultry and sophisticatingly sexy . Amidst all the high fashion runway cosmetics creations there are a few universal looks that all women can wear. Here are some wearable versions of the latest fall trends.
The hottest must-have this season is grey eye shadow, and it really does look amazing on every woman. Look for a grey hue that has a tiny hint of purple, but certainly still grey. This shade is considered the new neutral, so it can be worn with anything! Wear it smoothed over the lid and softly under the lash line or pair it with black liner for a smokier look. The perfect example of this shade is Chantecaille Lasting Eyeshadow in Patchouli.



For a little more drama on the lip, try the rich look of deep plum or wine shades. Choose a creamy matte formula like
Boots Botanics lipstick in Plum. Keep this lip hue from looking too harsh by pairing it with a Bambi brown eye shadow and a warm rose or mocha cheek.




Another big trend for fall is deep indigo blue eyeliner. It's an ellegant and modern look that is also really easy to pull off. Try Glo Minerals Eye Pencil in Twilight. Smudge it into the roots of your top lashes to keep it looking subtle. Pair the look with cinnamon colored blush and a glossy mocha lip.


Spotlight: Play with any one of these new looks to update your makeup wardrobe and stay on top of the trends this fall. As you update your makeup wardrobe, be reminded that there is a spiritual wardrobe that is offered to us freely that will always stand the test of time. "I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels." Isaiah 61:10
Let us know how you make this your own.
