Natural Lipstick Combo of the Week: ILIA Beauty’s Ink Pot & Burt’s Bees Starry Night

Natural Lipstick Combo of the Week: ILIA Beauty’s Ink Pot & Burt’s Bees Starry Night

Since fall is officially OVER I’ve been having bittersweet feelings. You’re probably like what? Are you insane? But wait let me explain! I’m sort of, kind of gonna miss fall BUT only because I’m going to miss the kick a** dark and vampy purple lip that is no longer in “season” during the spring. Says who right? You’re probably also saying now who cares just wear whatever you want, but I’m also pretty excited to embrace the bright springy hues coming up as well so I am a bit torn. Since I’m not really the type to do spring cleaning where I toss all my fall stuff to the back of my closet and out of my makeup stash, I have been bouncing around the house in this lip combo and loving it (secretly).
This lip combo is like the epitome of dark and purple vampiness so I just love it. Ink pot is actually a really pretty vibrant-enough hue that I can see myself carrying over into the spring and summer months and I could probably do the same with starry night as well but these two together is like BAM! Instant fall lip trendiness.
Since I sometimes sit in the house and get bored with the interwebs, I mix my lip products to come up with new shades so I thought why not put purple and purple together? And it just so happened to work. All you have to do is apply Ink Pot in all of its glory first, swiping it pretty heavily and then starry night on top to deepen it and add some shine. This would also work wonderfully with Zuzu Luxe’s equally vampy lipgloss in Mania which would give you more of a red toned burgundy looking purple lip.
Are any of you gonna miss the vampy lip as much as I am? Come on, I can’t be the only one. What colors are you looking forward to wearing this spring? What’s your favorite go to lip combo? Let me know in the comment section!

The Non-Toxic Fall Manicure ft. Butter London, Kure Bazaar, Scotch Naturals

Life is good! I just really love saying that mainly because it helps me convince myself that things really aren’t all that bad after all, and it sometimes helps when I get to look down at some ultra glossy nails and suddenly feel a smile creep up from out of nowhere because fall inspired manicures are just so sex-zay. Hey, I know that sounded totally vain, but what more can you expect from a gal who blogs about beauty during her spare time? Exactly. I’ve been pretty excited to show you guys some of the colors I’ve been rocking lately so definitely check out some of my fall-worthy picks below and definitely leave some of your faves in the comment section below because you can never have too many nail polishes! Or can you? *shrugs*
1. Scotch Naturals Balmoral Punch: Now this is not your typical red polish, it’s much deeper than that. Literally. This is more of a really deep fruit punch color that really takes a red nail to a whole other level, which I really like. Although, it looks a lot like your typical red in the swatch below, it is actually a really nice red for fall since it’s not super bright yet it’s not too dark either. Loveeee this.
2. Kure Bazaar’s Nail Lacquer in Cherie: This nail polish is a deeper burgundy color that also fits in so well with this Fall’s trends. It’s perfect for the one who likes a pretty dark nail yet isn’t really into the super vampy look. This nail polish is probably for the girl who admires trends from a far yet doesn’t want to dive in head first, just yet. Yes, this is for you.
3.Butter London’s La Moss: This nail polish is an oxblood lovers dream, yet it is more purple than it is red. It’s so dark that it almost appears black yet it’s super flattering on just about anybody and I find that it’s pretty classy as well. If you’ve been into the super dark and vampy trends this Fall, like me, then this nail polish will forever be your best friend.
4. Scotch Naturals MacBeth’s Dream: This nail polish is a darker purple that appears red in certain lighting, and since this season has been all about berries whether they be red or purple I’ve been loving this for fall. It’s not too dark yet it’s not too light either so I find that this really is a fun color for any season really. So I get a lot of wear out of this one too.
Now which one is your fave? Let me know which one you’re digging the most in the comment section below!
