Today Is The Day
Today is the day that you get to exercise your right to vote. It is our civic duty & I hope you have either taken the chance to vote early or are planning to head to the polls today. This has been quite an election. Be kind to one another. Pray for our country. And be thankful that all these ads are going away!! I'm not telling you to vote for him or her. But please, do go out and vote. Our country needs YOU.

Five on Friday
FriYay! FriYay! So glad it's here. It has been rainy the last half of this week and honestly not complaining. Some days I just like dreariness. I figured I'd leave you with 5 randoms this week!
1. I got my hair color done this week (Praise the Lord!) & I am loving it. I am addicted to balayage. I was ready to take it darker & rich for Fall/Winter.
2. I was in Ulta today to pick up a curling iron & wandered over to the Clinique area. I tried on this in color Black Honey Glow. It gave my lips just enough color but looked really natural. I was won over immediately, but they didn't have any left. UGH. I shall wait patiently.
3. I tried out Orange Theory this week. Have any of you ever tried one of their workout classes? What did you think? I liked it but the trainer was slightlyyyyyy cheesy. And I wasn't all THAT sore. It's expensive so I am not sure if I'll go back even though I scheduled a class for Saturday.
4. I just got in these jeans from Old Navy. Y'all know I sing their praises. These are SO cute on and I just love the midrise.
5. I am cooking chili tonight. With the weather the way it's been this week, I feel like it's necessary. My husband can't be more thrilled. The man wants chili in the dead of summer. There has to to a crispness in the air for me to want it. I am using this recipe I found on Pinterest. If you aren't following me on Pinterest, please do! My username is Haley_Marozas.
I hope y'all have a great weekend!!

Current Beauty Favorites
Happy Hump Day! I wanted to share my current beauty favorites with y'all. I always love hearing about others' faves. It's a good and a bad thing because then I usually end up at Sephora, Ulta, or Nordstrom with a list in hand. Anybody else??
Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer
I love this stuff, and it has been my go to concealer for quite some time now. I always have two different colors in my make up bag: one for under eyes (lighter) and one for spots other places on my face. It goes on like a dream and blends beautifully. I wear Vanilla under my eyes & Custard for other spots on my face.
MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot
I wear this on my lids as a base/primer in the color "Painterly." It is a very natural color and to me has somewhat of a powder finish. I just tap this on with my ring finger and blend. It looks great under your eye shadows. I have also worn just it by itself on my lids when I didn't want to wear full on eyeshadow. Another color from this line that would be good as a primer is "Soft Ochre."
Tarte Smooth Operator Amazonian Clay Setting Powder
I love the Tarte line. I really think they do nothing wrong when it comes to makeup. This setting powder is awesome and I dust it all over my face after I have applied my concealer, eye primer, & foundation. It keeps everything in place that had a "wet finish."Also, the Tarte line is free of parabens & phthalates.
Laura Mercier Full Blown Volume Supreme Lash Building Mascara
I got this as a sample at Sephora & it has really blown my mind. No pun intended. It goes on a little wet but dries like a dream. It definitely gives you volume; You can wear it by itself without adding an eyelash primer and you are going to get lots of volume and good color on your lashes. When I am done with this, I will definitely be purchasing the full size.
Laura Mercier Second Skin Cheek Color in 'Violet Orchid'
I picked this up at Nordstrom recently. I just told the lady I wanted a Fall blush. The color can look daunting just by itself in the packaging but when you put it on it is SO pretty. I use a very light hand when applying because it is pretty pigmented. It stays so well on your cheeks & gives a gorgeous pop of color.
Anastasia Brow Powder Duo in 'Soft Brown'
I think every woman out there is using some form of Anastasia products. This powder for your brows is great. It has a lighter and darker color to help with creating shape and filling in. It looks natural & stays put. I have thin eyebrows so this has been wonderful to help make it look like I have fuller brows. This line comes in 11 different combos so you are sure to find what you need color wise.
Neutrogena Healthy Skin Glow Sheers
This stuff is awesome if you are not wanting to wear foundation. It is described as an "illuminating tinted moisturizer." It has broad spectrum SPF 30. Also, oil free! This is not full coverage, obviously. I will wear this during the day with a little concealer, and I am good to go. I am currently wearing shade Fair to Light 20.
I hope everyone has a great rest of their week! Let me know your current faves. It is one of my all time favorite things to hear from a girlfriend about a fabulous new product they're using.

Weekend Wear: Grey + Black
How was everyone's Halloween?? We live in an apartment so we really don't get trick or treaters which makes me sad. Our neighbors stopped by so I could give the boys their Halloween sursies. They were the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. SO cute!
I don't know if any of you are like me but my favorite color is black. I think it sounds horrible to say that but really, my closet has a lot of black or shades of it. It's just so easy to put together. I recently got these grey jeans from Old Navy & paired them with a drapey BLACK top I picked up from Target. Honestly, I feel like that's my weekend go to outfit: skinnies, a comfy tshirt, and a pair of cute flats. It's just too easy.
Honestly, this look is kind of drab so I added these Baublebar earrings to add a punch of color. They are so pretty and not all that heavy either. These would be perfect for Christmas time too!
The purse is an old purchase from Stella & Dot that is no longer available so I added a few that are similar (at 2 different price points) in the widget below so you can shop them. What is y'alls weekend wear? Does anyone wear as much black as me?
I am off to get my hair done today! Praise the Lord for color!! I love being in the hair chair; it is seriously the most relaxing thing ever. I hope everyone has a fantastic Tuesday...& oh yeah, welcome November. The year is flyingggggg y'all!
