the dawn of a new season brings with it the promise of a new look and a subsequently lighter pocket.

give or take a nip in the air, come october, you'll find me at the nearest beauty supply store, abandoning my trusty spf for ultra hydration. streaking my arm silly with the latest lippy shades and leaving with a self inflicted 'manicure' in every shade of crimson, burgundy and wine the counters have to offer is how i shed my summer skin. 

using this as a mood board to inspire your own expedition, here are a few favourite beauty weapons to arm yourself with for fall :


1. estee lauder eyeshadow duo in 'mocha' 
what better way to play up a loud lip than with a nude eye?

2. chanel poudre universelle compact 
a bold mouth is offset perfectly by clean skin. i never leave home without my mini-coco. 

3. mac satin finish lipstick in 'rebel' 
pack some punch into your pucker with this fine wine.  

4. colorbar lip pot in 'yummy plummy'
good things come in small packages. this one will leave your lips luscious all season.

5. inglot amc illuminator
winter skin often lacks lustre. dab some onto your cheekbones for an instant glow.

6. colorbar nail lacquer in 'amethyst'
everybody has a dark side. wear yours on your nails.

7. faces nail enamel in 'poppy red'
ruby nails take on a rich new avatar this season. carry it with you for touch-ups.
  
bisou bisou,
