From Chocolate to Espresso | Must Have Monday

From Chocolate to Espresso!


Everywhere you look, chocolate hues are everywhere!  On your lips, your eyes, your nails, anywhere.  The newest Lime Crime, Salem, is almost impossible to find.  There is a wide range of brown hues, so don't freak if you don't do dark colors typically.  

The only trick to rocking this must have trend is make sure that if you're putting it on your lips, keep the rest of your makeup in mind...you don't want to look like Drew Barrymore circa 1990! 

This color is made to make a statement, so let your lips pop by skipping the bronzer and blush.  If you are fair, blonde, or just not that into bold lips, you can always try blotting your lips with a tissue to create more of a stained look and put a gold shimmery lipgloss over it.  

How flawless and fierce do these gals look?

Get the look with these easy-to-wear shades:

Mac Collection in Brown Hues
NYX Cosmetics - Maison
Laura Mercier - Cocoa
Sephora Collection - Cocoa Passion
Korres Mango Butter Lipstick - Cinnamon 
Cover Girl - Enchant
Mac - Tabla
Salem Lime Crime! Gorge! 
Of course aside from lipstick, there are other ways of incorporating this rich, vampy color into your look!  There is always the trusty smokey eye...and this Bobbi Brown pallet is the perfect tool to achieve this sexy look. 


Brown nails are also very popular lately.  I love all of these shades...I would totally try a brown ombre mani with them!
