Happy Halloween my preshies! ?? I hope to see lots of Holly Golightly’s out and about tonight (or La Croix cans, etc.) So glad that y’all enjoyed seeing those ideas in my post about Easy Halloween Costumes! Even though I’ll definitely be handing out candy at the door tonight and will be dressed as “girl in her pajamas,” I am with all of you costume-wearing folks in spirit!
While we’re still in the fall spirit as we quickly approach Thanksgiving, I thought now would be the best time to discuss fall make-up! (At least, before we get in too deep with the Hallmark Countdown to Christmas movies.) If you’ve been following along with Collectively Carolina for a while now, you might have heard me mention that I am absolutely in love with Stila’s Stay-All-Day Liquid Lipstick! It’s the lip product I wear almost daily, but especially for special occasions. I wore it in “Bella” to Mary Catherine’s wedding last December!
Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick • $22
Ruffle Sleeve Pullover Sweater • $17–22
Ray-Ban Classic Clubmaster Sunglasses • $153
Over-The-Knee Boots • $99
Vachetta leather apple watch® strap • $68
Kate Spade Initial Pendant Necklace • $58
Zip-Front Cord Mini Skirt • $25–49.95
For fall, I wear this lipstick in “Patina” almost DAILY! It’s the perfect deep, but natural lip color that pairs perfectly with seasonal fall hues. I used to have the hardest time finding a long-wear lipstick that didn’t dry out my lips – you know that cracking/flaking issue that usually happens? You won’t find that with this Stila lipstick! If you’re thinking $22 is a little pricey for a tube of lipstick, don’t let it scare you away. It’s actually pretty big (in terms of the amount of product you get) and goes a longgg way. When I put it on, I barely use a whole “swipe” because the lipstick is so potent!
A little bit about the outfit I’m wearing in these pictures before I go – this sweater is from SHEIN (also included in my fall SHEIN shopping guide) and it’s only $14! It’s still available in grey which would also be super cute. I’m also wearing my favorite corduroy skirt (here’s a similar one from Gap), affordable over the knee boots, my Ray-Ban Clubmasters, & my everyday Kate Spade necklace. Last but certainly not least, I’m wearing my Hidden Truth Jewelry Julia Blair Cross Stud Earrings! BIG NEWS – you can now use my code MARGARET15 for 15% off your entire purchase at hiddentruthjewelry.com! (Perfect for holiday gifts, but more on that later ?)
