My Favourite Fall 2021 Products
Here are some of the products that I love using in the fall, and some new products that I find are great shade-wise for the changing of the leaves; autumn!

ELF Ride or Die Lip Balm in Tough Cookie
I really love this lip balm, for this reason: it's a very good dupe for the Glossier Balmdotcom Lip Balm, and a fraction of the price. The shade is also super flattering, I have fair neutral skin and it just looks beautiful to compliment the look, especially with a bit of bronzer on the eyes. I also really want to try the shade PSL, I think it would also be very flattering but a tad more orange than the Tough Cookie.
$5.00 USD
Rare Beauty Perfect Strokes Volumizing Mascara
Rare Beauty strikes again, with fantastic formulation and affordability. I bought the travel size, and although I love it, it is a bit hard to use just because the wand is so short that my lashes touch the handle. That being said, the formulation is amazing, curls, fills and lifts my lashes like a dream, I would definitely use it every day if I had the full size just because I'm not a fan of the handle.
$14.00 CAD
Gucci Matte Lipstick in They Met In Argentina
I bought this on vacation this summer, and the shade really worked nicely in a summer setting with bright colours and the aesthetic of the season, however, now that it's fall, it still works with the season and looks very nice. It's described as a warm rosewood, and it does go on a bit brighter than it looks in the pictures but still very wearable and warm.
$55.00 CAD
ELF Bite Size Face Duo in Spiced Apple
I am every makeup brands dream; I get so easily enticed by the cute names or packaging of products. Not only does this shade look like a very warm, apple and cinnamon tea but looks so beautiful and warm on the skin, it really compliments the Tough Cookie lip balm nicely, or any warm brown lip. I will say though, if your skin is as fair as mine, use the highlighter sparingly or as an eyeshadow just because it could look like a bruise rather than a glow when looking at it in natural light. This is also the case for the Essence Pure Nude Highlighter in Be My Highlight, if used on very fair skin.
$3.00 USD
Profusion Ultra Warm Eyeshadow Palette
So, here's the thing. I found this at Winners for $12.99, naturally, I bought it. I'm really impressed with the pigment of this palette though and how smooth it is, I actually used it for my first ever bridal look on a model. The third shimmer on the top left was used as eyeshadow and highlighter, didn't emphasize texture, look chunky or glittery but instead looked like a natural glow from within; just what I wanted. The darker shadows actually blend very easily, they don't need much force or effort which is great for quick application.
$10.00 USD
I do believe this exact palette is discontinued, hence why it's at Winners, but the link above is for the closest palette to this one by Profusion.
So, these are just a few things that I use in the fall, and really love for my favourite season of the year (I always say that until Christmas comes around).
What are some of your favourite fall products? Let's talk!
Vi voglio bene,
Melissa
