Bold Lipped Confidence

Have you ever tried something new and it completely boosted your confidence? That’s how I felt the first time I put on this bold lip color.

My August make-up challenge (check out the bucket list here) inspired me to try something a little bolder for a fall lip color. I searched for the perfect dark wine-colored liquid lipstick. I am by no means a makeup guru, but I loved this powermatte lip pigment by NARS in the shade “Rock with You!” I am very cautious about matte lip products because I do not enjoy the drying effect that it usually haves on my lips. However, this product from NARS was super comfortable during my entire wear. Plus, the color is gorgeous!

This is hands down my favorite fall color. As soon as the calendar read “September” I was eager to add to my collection of wine-colored clothing. I saw this dress in the window of a New York and Company Outlet store. How cute are the bell sleeves?

These pictures are from my first ever blog photoshoot! I definitely would not say that I am a natural behind the camera. However, when I changed into this outfit (this was my second outfit photographed) it was like something changed inside of me. I felt more confident and playful. I think it showed. Thanks again to Michael Ellis Photos for shooting these for me!
