1. I have a pair of these two tone ballet flats (which look nearly identical to the Chanel ones) and wear them non-stop. This new colorway is absolute perfection. The mixture of suede with patent leather is sooooo good! I have an entire shelf dedicated to all my favorite fall finds both splurge-worthy and under $200 if you need more recommendations.

2. My holy grail laundry pods just launched a new scent!!! I love all of their scents but my two favorites are French Saffron and Himalayan Cashmere. But I think I need to try this new scent to compare…..for research. LOL (use code: MAREE15 to save)

3. My 8 year old son has had sensitive skin most of his life so I’m very picky about which body washes and shampoos he can use. We have been using this for the past year with no issues! Yay!

4. I love this whipped body cream and first started using it in my 30’s. There was only one scent (which was amazing) but I love to see that they expanded their scent options.

5. I wear my crystal collar necklace in gold so often (you can see it in this video) which is why I’m so thrilled to see if now available in colors!!! It’s a great easy piece to wear that makes a statement without being too bold.

6. Completely over the top but I LOVE a fuzzy lined pair of flats.

7. I know it may not be chilly yet where you live so this short sleeve sweater is a great option to wear right now to embrace fall but not overheat. Ha!

8. With the holiday season right around the corner, a classic midi skirt like this will be a great piece to wear over and over.

9. I wear my Spanx AirEssentials sets multiple times a week and usually all weekend. I own a few colors because I LIVE in them. There are a bunch of styles and colors on sale but sizes are going quickly!

10. I wear puffy vests all throughout fall and winter because it adds a layer of warmth without making me feel overstimulated. #perimenopauseproblems

11. So many of my products are refillable which I actually prefer. I have been using this body wash recently because I love the texture, scents and the fact that everything is refillable!

12. All my discount codes are updated with new ones recently added!! Be sure to browse through all of them before shopping my recommendations.

13. OMG this new collagen jelly capsule cream sounds so intriguing! I use so many products from this line that I love.

These are the Lip Colors I’ll Be Wearing This Fall

| ,

I like to embrace new tones in my makeup every season. Fall is my favorite season so I love adding in new lip colors to my everyday makeup looks. I am someone who always loved a nude lip in my 20’s and 30’s but now in my late 40’s, I prefer to wear more color on my lips. So my fall tones are less focused on browns and rich neutrals and more on bright berry and plum shades. Nothing too dark but colors that still give my face some life. Some of these fall lip colors are ones I’ve been wearing for years and some are new additions. If you love the lip colors I wear regularly but want some fall options, here are 7 I would recommend.

The Lip Colors I’ll Be Wearing This Fall

Rhode Peptide Lip Tint in Raspberry Jelly

This is a shade that I NEVER would have reached for years ago but now it’s one of my favorite colors to wear in the fall/winter. It’s a sheer berry tint that adds the perfect pop of color to the lips. Some lip tints offer more hydration than color but this formulation provides. It gives the lips the perfect amount of shine without being too glossy.

Saie Glossybounce High-Shine Hydrating Lip Gloss Oil in Remix

The Saie Glossybounc is a mix between a lip gloss and an oil. It has a bit of slip to it which makes it feel quite nourishing and moisturizing, but isn’t too thin or runny. I always go straight for the pinky nudes and sheer peaches when trying out a new lip formula, but this time I wanted something that was a bit bolder and gave me more color. Remix is one of shimmer glosses and was an instant love from first swipe. It’s a mauve shimmer that is the most perfect deep rose shade which is a great fall option for those that want something a bit lighter than a berry or plum shade.

Westman Atelier HydroBalm Tinted Lipstick in English Rose

If you don’t love a full coverage lipstick and prefer something with just a hint of color, these Westman Atelier HydroBalm lipsticks are definitely worth trying. They give a sheer wash of color (but still enough to show up) and feel incredibly nourishing on the lips. The shade English Rose manages to be the perfect shade of cool toned rose without being too pink.

Tower 28 LipSoftie Hydrating Tinted Lip Treatment Balm in Ube Vanilla

The formula of these tinted lip balms is incredible and makes the lips feel nourished while still delivering a ton of pigment. Ube Vanilla is a deep berry that could look a tad intimidating in the tube but when you apply a sheer layer, it tints the lips with a gorgeous plum berry shade that I adore.

Covergirl Clean Fresh Yummy Gloss Plumper in Encourage-Mint

This has been a favorite for a few years though it’s a plumping formula that uses a cooling sensation instead of those that feel hot on the lips. The feeling is quite intense which does not bother me but it is worth mentioning to those that may be sensitive to this. They also have a strong mint scent which I personally love but as with the plumping effect, it is very noticeable and could irritate those who are sensitive to that. If you are not and want a great lip gloss formula that gives the most glassy and gorgeous finish to the lips and feels quite nourishing, this formula is it! My favorite color is Encourage-mint which is a soft berry shade that gives just enough color.

Kulfi Lassi Lips Staining Lip Oil in First Sari

If you are on the hunt for a long-lasting lip formula, this Kulfi Staining Lip Oil is a must try. It feels like a lip oil but dries down to a stain that lasts all day long. I love wearing it alone or layering it under another gloss. Many lip stains feel drying the longer you wear them, but I don’t experience that with The finish is natural and the shade First Sari is a gorgeous rich berry.

Westman Atelier Squeaky Clean Liquid Lip Balm in Ma Puce

Westman Atelier products are an absolute must try for mature skin types. The formulations really impress me while the shade options are absolutely beautiful. This Liquid Lip Balm is a buildable formula that gives great color payoff while feeling weightless on the lips. The shade Ma Puce is the easy to wear rich rosy pink that is perfect for anyone that doesn’t prefer a plum or berry shade for the fall/winter.

Fall Boots That Won’t Break the Bank

Boots are a necessary fall closet staple but most often are an investment compared to ballet flats or pumps. There are amazing luxury boots everywhere but you don’t have to spend a ton to get a boot that looks timeless, chic and can be worn year after year.

Tips on Having Great Style For Women Over 40

As we get older, our style can evolve or change. But that doesn’t mean we have to abandon it completely. I love getting dressed just as much in my late 40’s as I did in my 20’s and 30’s. Choosing my style over 40 has given me a chance to refine my wardrobe, have fun with current trends, and build polished outfits without overcomplicating it. This post is going to be a practical collection of tips, wardrobe staples, and easy outfit ideas.

A crisp structured blazer will forever be a wardrobe staple. This one stood out to me because it buttons up much higher than other blazers which allows you to wear it as a top or unbuttoned as a blazer.
