Quick Makeup & Beauty Reviews | My Beauty Picks

Hello lovelies! How are y'all doing? I've been keeping busy between coming down sick with a bad cold the day after my blog event and working at both of my jobs.

Since I've been trying out a bunch of beauty products recently thanks to PR mailings or what I've picked up personally at Ulta Beauty or Sephora. I've decided to do some real quick reviews of what I've tried out, letting you know if they worth the money or not. Most of the time I do tons of research before ever buying anything beauty related, especially for higher-end products. I'm more apt to take the plunge with drugstore products.

- MARIO BADESCU FACIAL SPRAY || This facial spray is cheap and does a good job of refreshing ones face when it is feeling tired. Sometimes I also spray it onto my face after several hours of applying my makeup to help freshen it up a touch. 

- ULTA GEL EYE LINER PENCIL MINK || I thought this gel eye liner pencil would be good in my waterline. Not so good. It looks pigments and all, and the color does stay all day. BUT throughout the day the color flakes off and rests on my under eye area. Not pretty. It is a good gel pencil, just not for the waterline. 

#AutumnTrendsBF | Day 3

Hello everyone! How are y'all doing today? Today is day three and the final day of #AutumnTrendsBF blog & social media event. It has been great fun doing this event & seeing everyones different outfits that reflect their personal love of autumn. I ended up going very preppy and classic all three days, which is something I wasn't personal expecting. I thought I would do more boho type outfit, guess I wasn't feeling it this weekend. #ohwell

#AutumnTrendsBF | Day 2

Hello everyone! How has everyone's Sunday been? Today Ulta Beauty is doing a big fundraiser for Breast Cancer Research via a cut-a-thon, so I will be working that this afternoon as it is a big event that everyone is working. So I won't be able to see everyone's outfits until after 6pm [when our store closes and I get off work].

#AutumnTrendsBF | Day 1

Hello everyone! I was dearly hoping to have this post go live this morning, but life has been crazy and my computer doesn't like photos anymore. Today's outfit was a last-minute choice, as I was planning to wear flares today, but I've been living in jeans recently at both work and at home, so was really in the mood to wear a dress today.

#AutumnTrendsBF | Blog Event

Hello everyone! I'm excited to announce that Bramblewood Fashion is going to be hosting another blog event this year! Yes, I'm excited to bring the blog events back to BF, especially since it gives us all a chance to mingle and get to know one other. In fact, it is through blog events that I have made many of my blog friends.

The theme for this month's blog event is: Autumn Trends. Over the course of three days, y'all will showcase your favorite fall trends in your outfits [and hopefully in your hairstyles and makeup] on either your blogs and/or social media. I was going to do a set trend for each day, but I wanted it to feel more creative and open to what other people love and enjoy when autumn weather hits.

Editorial Fashion Shoot | Autumn

Hello everyone! To celebrate the first day of autumn today, my sister, Gaby came up with the idea to shoot and share an editorial fashion shoot with y'all. Recently I've been modeling for her to help her practice her photography skills of shooting and editing photos. Can I just say, reading fashion magazines has totally help me with my modeling poses.

I hope y'all enjoy the pictures from the shoot! FYI, Gaby styled my outfit and texted me how to do my hair and makeup. I'll share outfit and makeup details at the end of this post.
