Fall Favorites

Lets start with Fancy


1. Favorite Lip Color: Kat Von D - Studded Lip Kiss  - Cathederal ($22)

2. Favorite Eye Shadow/Pallet: Too Faced Chocolate Bar Eye Shadow Collection ($49)


3.  Costume:  I was an angel one year and I really went all out!
I don't have the dress anymore, but I know it was about $50 for my white dress, already had my white heels, I bought the wings for roughly $40 and they were beautiful!  Below is the kind that I had, keep in mind that I didn't wear a gold skirt.

4. Clothing Item: Boots! They are comfortable and they go with most anything! I got mine at Sears for about $40. They are the brand Jaclyn Smith - Women's Erica Brown Riding Boot - Wide Width Extended Calf.

6. Drink: Starbucks - Toasted Graham Latte  It literally tastes like a graham cracker, SO YUMMY!!

9. Activity: Carving pumpkins!
I found this carving kit at Goodwill for $1, it retails for $4

Free


10. TV Show/Movie: I couldn't decide between the Walking Dead and American Horror Story, but I chose American Horror Story because you can start a season and not miss anything, this show has a different theme each season. Fun to watch, suspenseful and scary!

And of course for the movie, none other than Hocus Pocus

Halloween (and Every Day) Makeup Palletes!

This blog is exactly what the title says, Halloween makeup. I am going to show you my favorite fancy & frugal makeup for Halloween.

My only weakness is makeup.  I love drug store make up, dollar store makeup, and luxury makeup.

Frugal:

I recently purchased two eye shadow pallets that I am absolutely in love with and I think it was worth every single penny.
The first one is Morphe - This is the 35W Warm Pallet for $19.99 plus s&h. Not too bad for 35 shadows!  This is roughly $1.75 per shadow.  They are buttery, easy to blend, and extremely pigmented!  They have so many different shadows, pallets, and brushes, I would like to purchase them all!

The next pallet I bought was also from the Morphe Brushes website.
It is the best blush pallet, most pigmented, smooth, and many options in my opinion! It is the 9B-Blushed Blush Pallet, for $19.99 + s&h, that means its roughly $2.22 per blush. And you get a lot of product.  You can usually find a coupon code for 10%-20% off online.

If $20 is over your budget,   try Wet N Wild. These are $4.99, and you get 8 shadows.  I have heard great things about these pallets for the price you pay. (Roughly 63 cents per shadow.)  They look fun and they have three different shade pallets.

Fancy:

No doubt about it, when I have the money to spend, I absolutely love Sephora and Ulta.

I have seen a lot of YouTubers use the following pallet and had absolutely nothing bad to say about it, so yes, I bought it!
Its the Kat Von D Shade+Light Eye Contour Pallet for $46.00, but let me tell you, you get a lot of product, the shadows are extremely pigmented and smooth, plus there is no fall out!
Definitely one of my favorites of all time! 12 shadows for $3.83ish each. Save $4 for 12 days and you can have this pallet too.

I would like to get this pallet next time I have the cash.
Its the Kat Von D  Mi Vida Loca Remix Eyeshadow Pallet.
Its $59 for 24 highly pigmented, buttery, shadows.  That's about $2.46 per shadow. WANT!!

The next one that is next on my list by tarte  Tartelette Amazonian Clay Matte Eyeshadow Palette for $45. It has 12 shadows, making it about $3.75 per shadow. Very pretty and I have swatched it in Sephora, and I was inches away from splurging again!



First Things First

Who? What? When? Where? Why? How?


Who I am: I am Fancy. I am a mother, daughter, sister, and friend.  I am a dog lover.  I enjoy art & creativity, organization & cleaning, all things beauty, a good deal, and fancy things!

What this blog is about: Exactly who I am and what I enjoy.  It is a blog to inspire and possibly teach about things that are fancy, how to be frugal, and the occasional free product or idea I may have for you!

When will there be a new blog: I will be posting a blog every Friday.  If there is more to share, there will be more blogs!

Where:  I live in Phoenix, Arizona, but that's not important. :-)  When need be, I will post a link.

Why make this blog: I was going to start a YouTube channel, and I actually had a few videos that I filmed.  Editing with the software I was using was nearly impossible, and being the frugal woman I am, I did NOT want to buy a software for something I possibly may not enjoy.  I wanted to make a blog that mostly women could relate to, or learn something from.

How: By living my life and sharing my method of doing things, I will share anything worth while that is Fancy, Frugal, Free, and just plain ol' fun stuff!

Please enjoy, give feedback, and ask questions!!
Thank you!
