Fall Plums, Part One: Clinique Plum Pop Blush, MAC Media and Plumful lipsticks, Sephora’s Make Up For Ever birthday gift

Can I just say how happy I am that plum is still in this year? I was just recently regretting that I hadn’t picked up many plum pieces last winter, not sure if I would see the same variety of plum-colored clothing this year. Thankfully, plum still seems to be everywhere– including make up.

I recently went to Sephora to specifically pick up a Clinique Cheek Pop in Plum. Though I was really curious to try this blush when it came out, I felt that I already had too many blushes to justify the purchase at the time. However, I’ve recently hit pan on quite a few and so I finally got the chance to pick one up. I am not disappointed. The product has great staying power, is buildable, and didn’t change color on my skin throughout the day.

I’m also looking forward to breaking out some of my more dramatic lipsticks this fall; two of my favorites are MAC’s Plumful and Media.

And while I was at Sephora, I also grabbed my birthday gift which was this nifty Make Up For Ever set. I’m a huge fan of the lip color, which in the bullet reminds me of MAC’s Captive. I haven’t tried the mascara yet and to be honest, I really hope that I can remove it with my ordinary cleanser. If you’ve tried it, please give me your thoughts in the comments.
