Almay Fall Makeup Look

November 5, 2018

Almay Fall Makeup Look

The leaves are turning gorgeous colors, the air is crisp, and PSL is back in season, baby. Featuring sultry reds, cozy bronzes and the perfect amount of shimmer, this Almay Fall makeup look using Almay Goddess Gloss matches Autumn to a T. What I loved most about this look is how I saw my grey-green eyes pop from the mix of warm tones. Try it for yourself! Read below for what makes up this seasonal makeup look.

This post is sponsored by Almay and Her Campus Media. All words and opinions are my own. Thank you for supporting the brands that make Sweating Champagne possible!

Almay Goddess Gloss™ from the Almay Cosmic Collection is a high-shine, holographic lip gloss that gives extra sparkle with added moisture. I used shade ‘Flame’ for for my Almay Fall makeup look. Fitting, right? This iridescent lip gloss is made with pomegranate, grape, and raspberry oils, yet remains fragrance free. No stickiness left behind! I loved the vibrant red this shade of lip gloss gave. Perfect for the fiery Autumn makeup look I wanted!

I used colors from Almay Palette Pops™ ‘Fabulista’ and ‘Naturalista’ for my eyeshadow. The ‘Fabulista’ has a beautiful burgundy shade, while ‘Naturalista’ contains all the necessary neutrals for browns, bronze, and whites for a buildable natural look. I used the burgundy as my main color, framing the eyes with the other neutrals and using Almay Multi-Benefit Mascara™ to top it off. For some extra illumination, add Almay Make Them Jelly Hi-Lite in ‘Unicorn Light’! The combination of colors, with just a touch of glam, reminded me of a stroll through Central Park in Autumn (one of my happy places). What makeup color combination reminds you of a perfect Fall day?

#Ad I will admit that my dimensional look needs some work as I have only recently began to experiment with different makeup looks and techniques. Luckily I can work at it this season with these Almay go-tos! What events will you be rocking this Almay Fall makeup look at? Comment below! #AlmayReveal #CollegeFashionWeek #InfluenceHerCollective

DIY Unicorn Halloween Costume

October 22, 2018

DIY Unicorn Halloween Costume

DIY Unicorn Halloween Costume

Who’s ready for Halloween? After going through many, many choices I decided to be a unicorn this year. However a lot of the already-made unicorn Halloween costumes online were, well, really weird. So instead I put together a few items that could easily be used after the holiday is over for going out on the weekend.

Read below for my DIY Unicorn Halloween Costume!

Windsor.com

My favorite part of my unicorn costume is the horn (aka the most important part of a unicorn costume). While there are many cheap, plastic unicorn horns out there, I was so excited to find the most beautiful jeweled unicorn horn headband from Windsor! I’m talking as pretty as a tiara, but more magical.

Windsor.com

I wanted to find a sparkly bodysuit for my DIY unicorn Halloween costume, the second most important aspect of doing it myself. Also from Windsor (seriously, this store came in clutch this season), this nude sequined bodysuit was perfect and matched the unicorn horn headband. It’s also currently ON SALE with all sizes in stock!!

Lulus.com

I already had a tan suede mini skirt from LuLu’s to go over the bodysuit, which is no longer in stock, however I have this blush pink leather skirt and blush denim mini skirt are close matches that would work for a unicorn Halloween costume!

Target.com

I have had the same go-to pair of nude heels for a year now and can’t rave about them enough. These nude A New Day heels come in heights 2.5 inch and 3.75 inch and are super comfortable to go out all night long. Fun fact: I have these in both heights!

Now that the outfit is complete, on to makeup and accessories! The Almay Goddess Gloss ‘Fairy’, a high-shine holographic lip gloss, is perfect for a DIY unicorn Halloween costume. It’s pink, glittery and offers moisture for while out. I paired the Almay Goddess Gloss lip gloss with Almay Make Them Jelly Hi-Lite and Almay Shadow Squad Eyeshadow Holographic.

Disclosure: I received Almay Goddess Gloss and other products from the Almay Cosmic Collection as part of a paid partnership with Almay and Her Campus Media, however all words and opinions are my own!

There you have it! A magical DIY unicorn Halloween costume that is sure to be a hit. What are you being for Halloween this year?
