Gold Label Cosmetics Matte Lipstick Collection Review

IMG_1041

A few weeks ago I got an email from Kristen at Gold Label Cosmetics asking if I'd like to try out their matte lipstick collection. My response...um yes..and make that I'd LOVE to try out the collection...you had me at matte! You all know I love a MATTE lip, ESPECIALLY for fall!

IMG_1044

The Matte Collection includes 5 lip colors (L-R) -Evil Twin (fiery red), Zi Se (opaque purple), Thieving Bandits (hot orange), Say No (peachy nude), and Dark Children (deep maroon) all retail for $14 and can be purchased on their site (link below along with coupon code).

All of the colors are very beautiful and go on very smooth- not always a luxury of matte lippys- you know what I'm sayin?!? So I love that! For matte lipsticks they are quite moisturizing- so much so that you can tell by the pics taken with a flash. It makes them look shiny, but I can assure you they are as matte as can be.

 My favorite....hmmmm.... this is truly a hard decision as I am looking at all of my swatches....I can't choose. Any pick would be a good one! I am a gemini, I am indecisive!

Don't shy away from the brighter shades, if you read my last post on Fall Beauty Trends, fall matte brights are a must! So go for it girl!!!

Fall Beauty Trends 2013

Untitled

Fall is upon us beauties- and I could not be more thrilled about it because this is my favorite season. What's not to love?!? Pumpkin errthang, berry lips, and dark nails.....I literally just shed a tear of joy just thinking about it (come on...you know I bring the dramatics!) Anyway, I just wanted to share with you beauties some of the latest fall trends I am obsessing over.

Meet Matte

Back like he never left....and maybe he didn't, but I'm actually a newbie to this trend! This was my first thought because I already planned my first fall manicure to be of the matte kind! I skipped it last year because my nails boos didn't get a matte top coat until Spring. Check out my super on trend fall mani below along with some other must have matte manicures. I am in love!!!

I am seriously so in love with these manis...I might have matte nails all fall!

Brights...for Fall?!?

Um, yes hunny! Don't pack up all your summer lippy's and neon accessories just yet! There is a place for them this season and I must say, while l LOVE darker colors this time of year, this is a refreshing twist on fall beauty. My recommendation..keep the color matte for a more "fall" fit.  Say it with me now...pop of color!

Untitled

Geometry just became my favorite subject!

Nail art has been my ish this year! While I love all the nail bling that people have been sporting, it does not fit into my day to day. So, I have stuck to a simpler form of nail art. Geometric nail art is a fall trend that is right up my alley!... and I must pat myself on the back because I have been rocking this trend for awhile. Here are some of my favorite nails designs! Get inspired beauties!!

Some of my previous manis...all by Julie (@juliexole on Instagram) from QT Nails in Atlanta

How fun are these...and this trend allows you to get creative...there are NO rules!

Braids...trend or year round staple?!

I'm going with the later! This trend never dies, which makes it a staple. One I can't live without, I am not so skilled to be able to carry out some of these gorgeous looks (you guys saw my fingers in my 50 random facts video..) but I'm fine with that. Me and my fishtail always make the cut! Here are some fall ready braided styles...enjoy!

The Eye of the Tiger

Well the eye of the cat...tiger...cat...same thing! Anyways, chic cat-eyes are IT for fall and I'm LOVING IT! They can be simple or intricate...where ever your skill lies....this is a fall beauty DO. So, DO yourself a favor and get to practicing.

Oxblood

No fancy title needed...this is my FAVORITE fall color, for the 2nd year in a row. Last year I wanted anything and everything in this gorgeous hue. I'm going for a repeat this season- from nails to lips to clothes- oxblood is a must in your beauty (and fashion) routine TRUST me on this one. BONUS- it looks amazing on every skin tone. 

Untitled

The Minimalist 

This fall trend is perfect for those who are on the go. Bare face and color on the lips. Pair it with a bold brow and you are RIGHT on trend. Now keep in mind, healthy skin is the key ingredient to pulling this look off, so you may want to use the money your saving on face products and invest in some quality skin care products...just sayin....

Hope this post got you in the fall spirit! Tell me some of the fall trend you're dying to try out this season, comment below!
