Insomnia Cosmetics Vegan Lipstick from Etsy!

 The lipstick I ordered from Etsy just came in!

Pyromaniac by Insomnia Cosmetics

(Insomnia actually carries a TON of lipstick colors in any shade you could think of, so I'm sure you'll be able to find a shade just for you!)

I was happy to discover that the lipstick was matte instead of glossy/metallic as seen in the photo.

However, instead of vibrant burnt orange, it was a lot more brown than I had anticipated and looked really awful on my lips.

So I wore it under my Revlon Colorburst matte lip crayon in "Striking Spectaculaire" and it looked a lot better, much more of what I expected.

Here's the end result in two different lights (my bathroom and at work). 

I love it!

Lately...

Halloween is upon us!!

To me, the entire month of October is Halloween, so expect some spooky additions to my decor like this lil black cat I picked up at Walgreens (and artfully hung some jewelry on) and these candles from Beans, Books and Candles, a mystical store near Five Points South.

One is Diosa Del Mar, goddess of the sea and the other is an "alleged" Jinx Removing Candle. 

I chose these because I really liked the design on the jars, haha.

I put them on my dresser in my room, which is starting to get cluttered with jewelry and knickknacks.

This delicious spread is from the annual Middle Eastern Food Festival at St. George's!

I had kibbee, which is baked beef mixed with spices, rice, stuffed grape leaves, a spinach pie, green beans, salad and hummus and pita.

I'm really liking this matte balm from Revlon. It's a red-orangey shade that has vibrant saturation and doesn't leave my lips feeling dry.

As well as my crescent moon necklace. I wore it yesterday and today with a lilac crystal necklace and a circle gold, diamond necklace from my grandmother.
