Top 15 Favorite Fall Eyeshadows!

Since fall technically is coming to an end, I though it would be appropriate to get around to doing some of my fall favorites! Toady I felt like doing eyeshadow because I wanted too..?! Reason enough, right? Any who most are Deep Purples, all shades of gold, some green and rich browns.

MAC Copper Sparkle Pigment

Is that not the most stunning color you have ever seen in your entire Life? This color is pretty much in technical terms a "BAM IN YOUR FACE" Copper color. This pigment isn't even wet! Just over some Shadow Insurance. This looks amazing if you have blue eyes. And very November/ October-esque.




Fyrinnae Dressed to Kill
This is a Moss green pigment with gold, lime green, and even yellow glitter embedded in it. This color is my favorite color to do a smokey eye on the lid without being too over kill with dark colors. Apply it over Pixie Epoxy and you might have an eye-gasm.



Revlon Cream shadows in Moonlight Jewels
This is a really nice drugstore product, and is one of few companies in the drugstore market that doesn't test on animals. The jewel tones really warm up any eye color and they are pretty pigmented for such a cheap price.


Fyrinnae Medieval Haunting

Medieval Haunting.. Don't you love the name?! It is a black/ brown based gold with antique gold sheen? It is quite complex.. and pretty sweet for some golden smokey eyeness...


Fyrinnae Velvet Vampire
Such a cool color! It is a berry based color with a pink undertone and gold sheen. Especially pretty on green and blue eyes.


Suds n Sass Fall Harvest
This color seems to appear brown in the picture... but I promise you it is a deep purple :) It has some gold undertones, probably so strong that the color appears slightly brown. It is beautiful though because it is one of those special ones that changes in different light. Great for Autumn!


Fyrinnae Beholder
A dark taupe... A delicious dark Taupe :) I have worn this almost every day this month! In my crease, lid, Lower lashline... it is pretty much an awesome taupe with insane sparkle :0




MAC Antiqued
An true Antique looking color. It is a Reddened Bronze color that looks like the color of the trees when they are changing colors. Makes me feel all Autumnal :)

MAC Saddle
I Find this and Satin Taupe very similar.... except Saddle is more warm toned because it has slightly res/ bronze undertones... where as satin taupe is very cool toned. But if you are Warm toned this would look very nice. This color also appears gold in some lights but a red brown in others.

Urban Decay Gash
This is the color of Maraschino Cherries that my mom makes when she makes Cherry Winks. Basically a dark, burgundy, wine.



MAC Cranberry
Cranberry... pretty much describes itself. It is a berry color with strong pinked bronze undertones. Looks really nice with Woodwinked ;)

MAC Woodwinked

This is a hit or miss for most people. It is a personal win for me because it makes my blue eyes look amazing, and doesn't look horrible on my skin. Some people complain it turns orange on them but... hey I like it :) A vintage gold color.


MAC Blackberry

The only Matte color! I was disappointed that it didn't show up as well as I wanted it too, but that is life ;/ It looks patchy in the picture but In real life it is perfect for darkening the crease without using a black. It is a matte dark plum.



MAC Trax

The first MAC eyeshadow I ever bought! I used the heck out of this in Middle school, he he ;) But it is such a beautiful color! It is a plum color with prominent gold sparkles in it. Truely a unique color!

MAC Satin Taupe

Last but not least Satin Taupe. A slivery/ brown/ purple, the true definition of a taupe color. Extremely wearable, especially for fall because smokier, darker eyes are more acceptable. Looks good buy itself or under a black base!

Post yours below! Would love to see what your favorites are!! Have a great Tofu Turkey day!! (I am a vegan that is why i said Tofu turkey, c'est Vrai)

Revlon Lipstick Swatches


This lipstick is absolutely *Beautiful* on, and in the tube! It is a red/ purple color with a pearl finish and because of the pearl finish, it makes your lips look like they already have gloss on! It is probably going to be a staple for me around Christmas! Or should I say Christmahanakwanzika :) Oh and the formula is a very small amount drying.




This lipstick is a matte finish, and the color could be described two ways.. the first is either a darker bubblegum pink color... or a light dusty rose. It is a really nice color, It is a close match to my lips when applied heavier ( as seen above). But when you apply only a swipe of the lipstick it can be a really nice sheer yet bright... yet dark pink color 0.0.... If that made any sense to you, you my friend deserve an award :) The formula on this is more drying than others because it is a Matte finish, so definitely put a gloss over it!

Revlon Photoready swatches.. but no review :(

Okay so I got this foundation on a whim, because I had heard such good things about it!! But to my disappointment, even though I purchased the lightest shade that my CVS carried in Vanilla, It was still too dark!! Darn you Revlon and MAC!! So I will give you my initial thoughts on it when I did put it on my face ( this is how I realized it was too dark ) I thought it was very, very glowy. If you actually look close in the bottle and in the actual foundation you can see the "shimmer/ glitter " in it. So it is a really nice finish, and I also felt it to be really light. You know like in feel, you can tell when you have a heavy foundation because it feels like you have a mask on, and It also had I would say a medium to Full coverage application. I would probably match this foundation to a person who has ( In MAC ) either Nc/Nw 15 - 20 skin. Poor me has only foundation matches in a few brands because of my N10 skin ( N= neutral), and probably N5 Body :( I will probably give this to one of my friends, or keep it just because ( you know you've done it before :D ).
Ratings:
Overall: 7 1/2
Price: 10
Coverage: 8
Finish: 9
Colors: 5


Another plus it actually comes with a PUMP!! Unheard of!!




The Formula is VERY, VERY liquidy!! Like it might run off you hand in a matter of seconds!! Or face...





This picture makes it look like it matches my skin tone, but my friends that is the power of flash photagraphy!



And here is the ugly truth :( Poop on you Revlon for not making colors that suit ghostly white shades!! Where is the diversity!!



And don't get me wrong I would definitely recommend this foundation for anyone on a budget or just a good drugstore foundation! I have heard people compare this to MUFE HD foundation, so definitely worth a try!!
