I am a girl who loves color. My make-up case (no lie-it’s a Caboodle) overflows with eyeshadows and eyeliners in almost every shade. It’s a borderline Hoarder situation. Right now I am in the midst of changing my look for the fall (goodbye teal eyeliner…I really couldn’t pull if off anyways) but instead of browns or golds, I am leaning towards plummy purples. Purple goes with brown, black, or even grey, so it’s a great pop of color to incorporate into your wardrobe as the weather turns cooler.
If your closet consists of lots of neutrals, adding some color to your look can be as simple as changing your eyeliner or nail polish. Here are a few of my personal favorites:
Smashbox Photo Op Eyeshadow Trio in Cover Shoot
This trio consists of Flirt (a pink beige with silver flecks), Dusk (matte smoky purple), and Haze (a very light, shimmery purple). Smashbox is definitely not the cheapest eyeshadow by any means, but it’s very long lasting, blends smoothly and the colors are gorgeous.
Maybelline Stylish Smokes Eyeshadow Quad in Plum Smokes
If you’re looking for something cheaper, you can get this for around $5. There are three eyeshadows for creating a smoky eye, and an eyeliner shade to apply at your lash line. I own this and it’s one of my favorites.
Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in Crash
Urban Decay 24/7 pencils are one of my favorites. They go on creamy and easily draw a fine line or can be smudged. They’re also waterproof and stay on all day long. Crash is a really pretty deep purple, it draws attention without looking trashy.
Essie Nail Polish in Sexy Divide
I love Essie Nail Polish. The bottles are cute and little, the shades are unique, and you can buy them at Wal Mart! Sexy Divide is a deep purple with shimmer and it’s really pretty.
Sephora by OPI Nail Glitter in Purple
Give yourself a super cute manicure by applying a light colored top coat and dabbing glitter on just the tips of your nails.
Sephora by OPI Glimmer Wonderland Mini Set
Four mini bottles of gorgeous shades (my favorite is the glittery one): Just A Little Dangerous, It’s Bouquet With Me, Let Them Eat Fruitcake, and Dear Diary. These would work through the winter as well. I love them!!
So there you go, a little bit of purple and sparkle to brighten up your fall. What shades are you loving this season?
Hee, I wonder what happened to my Caboodle…it was pink and blue! LOVED that thing! I’ve bee n a purple gal for a long time; so I’m anxious to give some of these products a try. I currently use the Maybelline set you listed above, but that OPI purple glitter?!?! Gotta get it ASAP!!
I want to go shopping now for some new colors! Love the purple!

As far as purple makeup…love love love. Urban Decay has really beautiful purple eyeshadows. Love that Essie nailpolish you pictured, I’ve never seen that one before!!
PURPLE IS MY FAVORITE COLOR !! I dont really watch season to season . I wear what ever color matches my clothes …. Is that really that much of a PO-FA ????
My daughters school colors are purple/white and black – definitely need to get her some of that purple sparkly nailpolish! She is a cheerleader so you know she loves bling!
Love love love the purples! I am just waiting for my new purple glasses….Maybe I should head off and get some eyeshadow to match! I might as well accessorize!

One thing I would like to say is the fact that car insurance cancellation is a hated experience and if you are doing the right things like a driver you simply will not get one. Lots of people do are sent the notice that they’ve been officially dumped by the insurance company they have to fight to get further insurance after the cancellation. Low-priced auto insurance rates are frequently hard to get after having a cancellation. Having the main reasons pertaining to auto insurance termination can help owners prevent completely losing in one of the most significant privileges available. Thanks for the concepts shared by means of your blog.
