Hello Makeup Geeks! I have one more look in our series on “Bath and Body Works”. I really have loved and been inspired by their packaging! I adore doing a series where I am completely inspired by different colors and textures. The one I will be doing today is based on the “Carried Away” collection with its striking blues and pinks. I love the colors on this packaging and the look that I want to share with you today is just as gorgeous.

Also, if you are one of my YouTube subscribers, leave a comment saying you would like to win and why and we will pick a person to win the bath gel, lotion and body spray that is the inspiration behind this look. I will announce the winner on Facebook and Twitter.

Hi Makeup Geeks!

Fall is officially here and it is by far my favorite time of the year! (Hello Pumpkin Spice Lattes and Apple Cider candles 😉 )   I wanted to share with you a sort of “get ready with me” video with the makeup and the outfit. This look has glamorous gold, rich oranges and a berry stained lip all inspired by my favorite season. My outfit to go with it is pretty easy and casual- just something I wear on a weekend.

Hope you all have a great week and enjoy the Fall weather!!

xoxo,
Marlena
