Makeup:
Too Faced Peanut Butter and Jelly Palette: This popular palette is my current travel essential. It has your standard warm neutrals but also has pops of purple for a little bit of fun. I tend to put the peanut butter shade all over my lid, extra creamy on my brow bone, bananas in the inner corner, peanut brittle in the center of my lid, and jammin and jelly smudged along my lash line for a pop of color. The best part about this palette? It's infused with cocoa powder so it smells like a chocolate bar!
To buy: Too Faced website, $36.00

Morphe Rose Gold Collection: Rose gold is one of my new favorite colors. It transitions beautifully between all seasons and pairs flawlessly with pretty much everything. So when Morphe came out with their rose gold brushes I had to grab some! R1 (deluxe pointed powder) is perfect for brushing away your under eye bake or loose powder. R0 (deluxe powder brush) is a huge dome brush that I use to set my entire face or dab on powder. R13 (pointed contour) is my go-to contour brush for contour. The pointed tip flawlessly blends your contour if you're like me and don't like sharp edges. R12 (deluxe highlight fan) provides a beautiful, buildable shine to my cheekbones and temples.
To buy: Morphe website, $3.99-22.99
ColourPop Super Shock Shadow (Game face- ultra metallic): Now THIS is copper. Game Face is my absolute favorite because it's bold and works beautifully with brown eyes. It is also the creamiest of all the formulas and applies intensely. I could keep this and get rid of everything else in my ColourPop collection and still be happy.
To buy: ColourPop website, $5.00
Wet n Wild MegaGlo Highlighting Powder (Precious Petals): I'm not the biggest fan of Wet n Wild in terms of drugstore cosmetics but this highlight is AMAZING. The shade is a rosy gold and shimmery without any annoying chunks of glitter. Lucky for us Wet n Wild just announced that this constantly sold out highlight will now be in their permanent collection! If you've been wanting to try highlighting this is the perfect starter product because it is beautiful and won't hurt your wallet.

Too Faced Milk Chocolate Soleil Bronzer: This is the most flattering bronzer I have ever tried. It isn't too cool that it looks ashy or too warm that it looks muddy. The packaging is the absolute cutest and looks luxurious. Just like the PB & J palette, the Milk Chocolate Soleil Bronzer is infused with antioxidant-rich cocoa powder so it smells like chocolate. Actually there have been a few occasions where I have accidentally gotten some bronzer dust in my mouth and it tasted like chocolate! But please don't eat it! This is the lightest shade and also comes in chocolate (medium/deep) and dark chocolate (deep/tan).
To buy: Too Faced website, $30.00
ColourPop Fall Edit Ultra Lips: ColourPop absolutely killed it this year with their fall edit. I own seven of the shades from a nude to a deep gloss. Times Square (ultra matte) is a muted pink beige, Femme (ultra satin) is a muted dirty lilac, Mama (ultra matte) is a true burnt orange, Love Bug (ultra matte) is a rich terracotta, Hutch (ultra satin) is a deep blackened violet, and Sookie (ultra gloss) is a rich plum in a creme finish. Of course I have somehow misplaced my favorite shade, Notion, which is a rich red violet in an ultra matte finish. Typical...

Nails:
Butter London (Yummy Mummy): described on their website as a shimmering cool beige, this nail polish is a surprising favorite for me. Any given day of the year I'll be seen with dark nail polish. This color is truly turning me to the light side. I got this free in my Boxycharm and have been in love ever since. The color goes with any outfit and skin tone beautifully. While the price point is a little high for me, I will be purchasing again when this runs out.
To buy: Butter website, $15.00
Covergirl Outlast Stay Brilliant (Give 'em the greenlight): This is a typical Ellie nail polish: dark and bold. This shade is perfect for fall and winter and comes at a much better price than the Butter polish. I received this as a birthday present from my old roommate at Edelweiss and have been obsessed since then. I had been searching for the perfect deep green nail polish for AGES and she found it at our local PX. Thank you, Sam, for saving the day! XOXO
To buy: Covergirl website, $5.49
Fashion:
Thigh high boots! These are the perfect fall boots. They're a step up from the typical brown rider boots that I usually wear and add a fun style to any outfit. You can get leather, suede, high heeled, flat, and every style in between. I bought my black suede thigh highs with a heel for more oomph. Needless to say I'm in love! Here are a few options at different price points:
