Kiss your Summer goodbye & say hello to the Fall!!!

Hey ladies! It's time! That favorite time of the year where it's not too cold, but definitely not too hot to break out the leather jackets and boots. Now I know what you're thinking...a cute ruffled scarf or a vintage handbag may be all you need to complete your FALL look...NOT QUITE!!!! Aren't you forgetting something....?!?!

This is the NEW Aveda Jewels of The Earth Collection that's prepared to launch fall 2011. Now you can always try and duplicate the look the model has here, but me....well...I like taking risks/ trying something new. The Jade (green) eye shadow would be HOT for a smokey eye look, while accenting the lips with the Tanzanite(plum)lipstick. I sooo can't wait to try it out. Eye shadow colors (top to bottom): Terraverte, Sanidine, Jade, Amethyst, Crushed Citrine and Azurite. Lipstick (left to right): Sheer Petalite, Tanzanite and Vanadinite.

Don't these colours just scream FALL!!!!!

Now lets take a peek at one of this season's fashion trends






Smokey eyes: This technique is a little more intense than it looks. it's more than just smudging a bit of black eye shadow on the lid. Placement & Precision are the perfect ingredients for a flawless finished product...

It's Miss Logan, but you all may know her as Brianna from Tyler Perry's "Meet The Browns". Her smokey eye gives you a fun yet sexy look that's MORE than perfect for a night out on the town with the girlies! Owwww!

This model was featured in 2011 NY Fashion week. Her smokey eye is extended at the end, giving a darker and more drastic look, one that's excellent for any RUNWAY!

 

BUT! Who says precision is always necessary?!?! For that BOLD/ DRAMATIC look...sometimes M e s S is MORE!!!!!
