Dark Lips For Fall! Wet N Wild Sugar Plum Fairy

I really wanted to play with makeup and take advantage of the Wet n Wild lipstick shade I've had in my drawer collecting dust, Sugar Plum Fairy.  It is a pretty fuschia color that is perfect for Fall.

You can really play this lipstick up with a totally dramatic makeup look, or keep everything neutral and let the lips make the statement.  It just depends on whatever mood you're in :")  There are no rules. 

First, I created a more "daytime" look:

And then a more dramatic "nighttime" look:

Make-up I used:

Look No. 1

• CoverGirl Intense Shadow Blast Forever Pink
• MAC Eyeshadow, Naked Lunch
• Mirabella Eyeshadow in Tone
• MAC Greyprint Technakohl liner Eye-Liner Kajal
• Maybelline the Falsies Volum Express Mascara in Blackest Black
• MAC Lustre Drops in Pink Rebel
• MAC Pro Sculpting Cream in Coffee Walnut
• Wet n Wild Color Icon Lipliner, Fab Fuchsia 664C
• Wet n Wild MegaLast Lips Color, Sugar Plum Fairy 908C

Look No. 2

(excluding what was used in Lk. 1)

• Elf Eyelid Primer, Sheer
• Wet n Wild Color Icon Eye Shadow Collection, Blue Had Me at Hello

Delicate & Dainty Stackable Rings

I have been loving the look of little delicate stackable rings.  This is nothing new of course.  I've just been noticing it more and have been having ring envy.  Something about wearing something so little and dainty makes me feel all girly and feminine #weirdo. 
 
So I came across these when browsing online (click on the picture to go to the source).

 

Sadly, I cannot pay over a $100 for these little rings...

 

 

Looks like I will have to settle for these:

 

Not quite the same, but you get the same vibe,

and at only $2.80 it'll have to do.

 

 

What do you think of this trend?  Love it?  Hate it?  If you love it, where are some good places that you have found yours?  I would love to know :)
