Favorite Flats

As Summer is coming to a close, we know our summer wardrobe is coming to a close as well! As much as I loved wearing my strappy sandals, I'm ready to pull out my fall shoes! My favorites for fall are booties and flats, because they can go with ANY outfit. It can take a drab look to amazing. Here are some flats I spotted and loved:

These are super adorable, and not overly girly. With just a hint of red, they're perfect to spruce up an outfit! These are $30 from H&M.

Okay, anything with leopard probably already exists in my closet. But I have yet to own these! This leopard slipper can be worn with a mix of prints, or just solid colors. Either way your lookin trendy! You can buy these at MatisseFootwear.com for $65.

These are definitely unique, but I love them. The gold buckle ontop is so chic. These are DV by Dolce Vita for $79.

Yet another shoe from H&M! You would never know you only paid $99 for these Oxfords. I would love to wear these with a gigantic sweater while sipping a hot cocoa, wouldn't you?

Well these are some of many of my favorite flats for fall! What's your favorite?

Wish List

Happy Tuesday morning everyone! :) I hope everyone had a great weekend. Lately, I've been thinking a lot about different products that everyone is raving about. I thought, hmmmmm I need these products in my life!! Hahaha. So I put together a little list of must-have products that I really really need. (Yes I need them!!)

Can you believe it? I don't have these fantastic palettes...yet! Ever since joining YouTube and seeing how many different looks can be created with these bad boys, I haven't stopped thinking about them. I recently went into Sephora and gazed at them, literally for 10 minutes. But, being the money saver I am, I wasn't about to go spend $100 on two makeup palettes. So, I put them on my wish list :)

Ahh look at all these pretty colors!! Have any of you ever tried NYX products before? Everyone is talking about these butter glosses, and I must say I am dying to try them. I bought the NYX Natural Eyeshadow Palette and absolutely love it. It makes your makeup look so, well, natural and effortless! You should definitely try it. 

Yes, the beloved HOOLA bronzer! I tested this on my cheeks at Sephora, and I was so surprised. Even though it doesn't look dark in the pot, it makes you glow! This is a perfect product for the colder months, where everyone seems to loose all their color they worked so hard to achieve over Summer!

These brushes are not getting the attention they deserve. If any of you haven't heard of them, they are called Sigma brushes, and THEY ARE THE HOLY GRAIL OF BRUSHES. YouTube beauty gurus such as Jaclyn Hill and Nicole Guerriero rave about these brushes. I am yet to get my hands on them, but after the reviews they have gotten, I cannot wait to use them. People are getting rid of their MAC brushes and completely replacing them with these! Shown above is the Premium Kit. It comes with 15 brushes, and get this, it's only $164!! That's like less than $10 a brush! And you can also get their brushes separately for outstanding prices. I still don't understand why they haven't really gotten the attention they deserve!

Well, this is my little wish list for Fall, haha! What are some of the items you're looking to receive?

Have a great day :)

Drugstore Madness!

Okay, so a few days ago, I was in the kinda mood where I needed more makeup and I didn't care that I was going to spend money (I'm sure you know what that feels like). So I hopped on my bike and rode down to the marketplace a little over a mile from my house. There is a Walgreens there so thats where I was headed! Keep in mind, when I got on my bike it was hot and sunny outside.

So when I was in the store, I picked up a few goodies! Okay get ready. I picked up 5 lipsticks, 2 lip balms, four eyeshadow quads, a L'oreal mascara and a day/night cream. Yes I did some damage! 

So far the lipsticks are amazing. I got four of them from the Maybelline Vivids collection: Vivid Rose, On Fire Red, Shocking Coral and Coral Crush. Let me just collect myself!!! Okay the pigmentation on these babies is absolutely amazing. And they are so soft to your lips!! Honestly I'm obsessed. Anyone else?! I also got a L'oreal in I Pink You're Cute. Such a cute name right? And the color, OH MY GOD, is a bright bubble gum pink almost, and its a perfect summer staple. But the color I'm going to be rocking for fall is definitely On Fire Red.

Okay and then of course I couldn't leave without getting two BabyLips!! I got one in Cherry Me and the other in Peach Kiss. SO SOFT. I'm addicted.

For the eyeshadows, I picked them all out from Maybelline Eyestudio. My absolute favorite and staple for fall is the new limited edition Violet Femmes. The deep rich purples are sooooo pretty and if you spray your eyeshadow brush with a bit of water or setting spray before you apply the shadow, it will come out so much more pigmented and even shimmer a bit! And then I also picked up the Green with Envy quad and Give me Gold quad, which is also a great summer to fall transition!

So after I checked out, (feeling a bit lighter in my wallet!) I walked out the doors and stopped in my tracks. IT WAS POURING RAIN AND THE CLOUDS WERE BLACK. I COULDN'T EVEN SPOT THE SUN! I literally started laughing because I was stuck under the little overhang for 30 minutes! I couldn't get on my bike and drive more than a mile home! Although I did get a little wet, I made it home just in time! When I got to my room, I lit some candles and put on my twinkling lights around my mirror :) So cozy!! And then I stared at all the cosmetics I poured onto the floor. Hashtag the life of Maddie. LOL.

So that's what happened to me a few days ago! What crazy stories do you have to share with me!? Leave them in the comments below!

Makeup Junkie

So I've recently found my passion...

I'm a MAKEUP JUNKIE!! I can't be the only one right??

As you guys know, I'm a little over 16 years old. I'm one of those kids who has a little pint-sized idea about what they want to do when they grow up. Well, now that I'm homeschooled I've had a lot of time to myself. I've been able to really think about the things that I love and have passion for. It all came to me!! Makeup, fashion, beauty, and of course BLOGGING! :) 
I've never had a job but I was recently shopping at the outdoor fashion center like 7 miles from my house, and I stopped in my tracks. SEPHORA. Why didn't I think of it before? Who knows what I was thinking but I know where I'm applying for a job! On the door, it read something like, "Is this your dream job? No matter your age, see the manager for details." I about DIED. I told my mom and she's down for it too. So I'm, like, reallllly super excited to show them what I've got. I can't wait to start collecting makeup. 
I'm just really happy and relieved I found something that I truly have passion over...yeah I'm kind of obsessing over it... ;) Do any of my readers collect makeup!? Leave tips for me in the comments below!
