Sister's Maternity Pictures

Welcome back, beautiful souls!

I had the honor of doing a maternity session for my younger sister a couple weeks ago. How beautiful is she! This is her first child and our entire family is so excited to meet him.

My sister has been quite the trooper in this 95+ heat down here. At the time of the session we were all sweating and reapplying her makeup and stopped for a while just to sit in the car to cool down. ha!

Easy Hair Braid Tutorial

Hello Ladies,

This past week the weather hit in the 70's and I am beyond thrilled. This is the type of temp. my hair actually does what I want it to. HA! Seriously, it's awful down in the south when the humidity is 100% every single day. My hair is like a limp straw! No joke!

My hair is quite long and I want to get my hair out of my face, while still leaving most of it down. This is what I ended up doing, and believe me; if I can do it, I am completely sure anyone can.

Let me know what you think. I can also video a tutorial if that would help. Just let me know, loves.

Please let me know what y'all think :)

Blessings, loves.

Flower Crown and Lipstick

Hello, Loves!
Summer is leaving us fast, and although I am so excited for Fall, I am trying to squeeze in all I can of Summer before it's too late. A few of my favorite things as of lately, are the flower crown, crazy sunglasses, & Maybelline Colorblur in the shade #05 Pink Insanity (Wal-Mart Retail $7.73).

What first got my attention was the color. It's a hot pink shade - pretty hard to miss. I liked that it had a matte finish and was curious about the weird looking rubber thing on the other end. Don't be thinking dirty, ladies. Ha! The instructions say you are suppose to place the lipstick in the center of your lips and blur out using the rubber tool. Truthfully, I did not see any sort of "blur", or difference from putting it on your lips the same old way us ladies have been putting it on.

Nevertheless, the color and matte finish is gorgeous and I am in love when doing a simple eye and with bold lips.

And well, the flower crown is just a bit of fun.

What are your summer staples you are holding on to until Fall officially arrives? I would love to hear them. I cannot be the only one, right?

Until next time, beautiful souls!

Dare to Dream Pallet- Disney Princess- Ariel

Hello Beauties!

I was at Walgreens when I noticed some really neat pallets based on Disney Princess's. I could possibly be late to the game, but these are adorable! The ones at the local store only had Ariel in stock, so I went ahead and grabbed them.


The Ariel Lipgloss set was only $5 and the face set was only $10. Below are pictures and how I used the makeup.

Let me know if ya'll want to see a tutorial!!! I would love to do one for you.


Have you tried the make-up sets? Thoughts?

Dare to Dream Make-up set only $10 available at Walgreens

I used the lip set in the hot pink gloss and lipstick, and used most of the eyeshadows to create this look.

Review: E.L.F Cosmetics

Hello, beauties!
I have been looking at ways to control my budget when it comes to buying make-up. I decided to go out and find some great quality but most importantly, budget friendly products.  I was at the store the other day and ran across some e.l.f cosmetics.

My initial reaction was the packaging looked cute but, eye shadow and lipstick for $3? Let's get real. How good could the products possibly be...

To my surprise the products I purchased were good with pigments, feel, and long lasting. I would try some of their other products again.

Have you tried any? If so, did you feel it was worth it?


The Matte Lip Color is amazing. I love the true to color and rich pigments. The color stays on just as long as any of the mid-class lipsticks I have purchased and the glide is creamy. I would buy these again.

 The colors above top to bottom are: Nearly Nude, Tea Rose, Praline

Above you can see me wearing a combination of Praline & Nearly Nude.

If you are looking for a cheaper, but still has a great quality Matte lipstick please try this brand. I will have a review on two eye shadows I purchased along with a couple different eye looks coming soon.

Stay sweet my friends,
Autumn xoxo

Tipsy on the Ipsy-October Glam Bag

Hey beauties- After months of seeing all the hype about IPSY monthly glam bags I decided to go ahead and subscribe. Well, this was an adventure within itself. First you sign up and subscribe for $10 a month, only to find out you are put on a "waiting list" unless you ask friends, post on Facebook, jump 5 times, and give blood. So... I was put on the "waiting list, because I refuse to be pressured into promoting a company I know nothing about. After about two weeks, Ipsy informed me I was off the "waiting list" and my bag would be shipping to me.

Not sure about the rest of you, but I thought being my first glam bag it would have had some awesome products to keep me coming back for more. 

After getting the bag I was disappointed and frustrated... 

Everything ended up being no-name brands, and just mediocore....

Not sure what I was expecting, I understand being only $10 I wasn't going to be getting much, but I guess I wanted something amazing given the company acts as if the products/bags are so exclusive. 

Anyone else subscribed to this monthly glam bag? If so, what are your thoughts?
