A few of my favorite things!

Zombies!

The start of a new week! I hope everyone had an amazing and eventful (or relaxing) weekend!

As the air outside gets cooler, my go-to makeup/nail polish colors change too! I want to share with you all a few of my favorite things as of right now, as I'm sure they will all change in another month!

Let's begin, shall we?

RED NAILS!

I've been desiring the perfect candy apple red color for my nails lately. I've had the *perfect* color in my head but didn't have a polish that fit the bill. That is, until I asked my friend Megan! She handed over Zoya's "Isla" and well, I'm hooked! Just LOOK AT IT! I used Manglaze's "Matte is Murder" on my accent nail with Jordana Cosmetics "Sequins" glitter on top. I adore this combo. I'd wear this all Winter if my tastes weren't so fickle and change on a whim. ;)


RED LIPS!

I've worn red lips almost every day this past week. I'm normally terrified of red lipstick because of the size of my lips but have discovered that if I mix the perfect red lipstick with a blue (cool) based pink, it gives me the perfect red without being too crazy! I still need to play around or just GO BOLD! On my eyes I'm wearing L'Oreal's Infallible eyeshadow in "Golden Emerald" and a black matte eyeshadow from Sleek.



OWLS!

We all know I love Zombie related "swag"! But did you know I'm also addicted to owls? My husband gave me 3 adorable owl necklaces for my birthday and I've worn them every day since. He purchased them at Walgreen's for $6.99. (I only know because we looked at them together at one point.)

Isn't he cute?


I'm curious to see what I'll be wearing the shiz out of in the next few months. I wonder if my tastes will change. What are your go-to beauty/clothing related items these days?


 

!Endless Sea LOTD!

Saturday Etsy Spotlight: *Littlest Charm Factory*

 Hey...ZOMBIES!

A little while back, I saw a post on "A Day in the Life of a Dollface" in which said Dollface was promoting a fun new collection in her Etsy shop. This post was what made me decide today's Etsy Spotlight.  Today I'm featuring  Littlest Charm Factory!

I adore this shop- the rings, the necklaces, it's just FUN and takes me back to being a little girl. Who doesn't want to wear a cupcake charm around their neck and finger!? It's a fun way to relive the "innocent" days. And a lot of her jewlery is just so summery as well! I also like that the prices can't be beat and that everything is handmade.  I dare you NOT to run over to this shop and check out the adorable jewlery!

Per the store's intro page:

"These items are completely hand-made with special love and care.
No two are alike. They are NOT perfect.
They ARE, however, quirky & fun!"

Here are some of the adorable rings in the shop:

Argyle Skull Button Ring $7.00



Dollface Button Ring $7.00




Hot Pink Paisley Button Ring $7.00



Chocolate/Strawberry Swirl Cupcake Ring $6.50



Some necklaces:

Saturday Etsy Spotlight! *Aereonyx Designs*

As I was checking out my "followers" and fans on the Makeup Zombie Facebook page, I came across Aereonyx Designs- this Etsy shop is owned by Amanda Gilmore. Aside from being super friendly and a great follower of the blog, she is intensely creative and makes the most beautiful and delicate looking jewelry. I never expected to come across such a vast array of sites on Etsy with such unique talent. So as I come across them, I want to share them with the world. (Well, ok, the world is stretching it. I want to share it with all of my lovely Zombies!)

You'll find 100% handcrafted, unique, and simple jewelry for any occasion you can dream of.
