So, I’ve been Animal Crossing obsessed since last March when the game out. Thus, when Colourpop Cosmetics announced their collab, I knew I needed the entire collection. It arrived a few weeks ago, so here’s a mini review of the whole collection!

First, the “balloon pop” super shock shadow and “bellionaire” glitter gel. Balloon Pop is a beautifully pigmented shade of rose gold that pairs beautifully with the rest of the collection, and it has a gorgeous shimmer. Balloon pop is a gold glitter gel with different sizes of glitters. I’ve used it on top of eyeshadow as well as on my cheeks. Both of these single products are great and would be excellent in any makeup collection!

Next are the blushes! Flower power is a very pretty shade of pink, and Flower tender is coral coloured. Both of these blushes are shimmery and lovely on the face. They are not exceptionally pigmented, which I don’t mind for a blush, but is good to know. I really love these blushes!

Next up, the mini palettes! Each has an adorable different name and features one shimmer shadow, one sequin shadow, one pressed glitter, and one matte. The color stories of each palette are gorgeous, and the shades all have game-themed names, which I loved. My one qualm with each mini palette is that there isn’t a lot of product for the price point. However, the shades are gorgeous, and it’s very easy to make a coherent look with each mini palette!

Last up, the “just a tint” mini lip tints! These products are ADORABLE and have the bonus of being scented like each fruit they’re meant to represent. Each shade is very cute and matches well with the rest of the collection! The scents are also very fun. Once again, however, the price point is high for the amount of product you get. Other than that, I recommend these!

As an added bonus, the full collection comes with this VERY cute sticker sheet! I just wanted to make sure everyone knew about the sticker sheet, because I love it!

Finally, here is a makeup look using the collection! On my eyelids is the “5 star Island” Isabelle themed mini palette, on my cheeks and nose is the “flower power” blush, and I’m wearing the “juicy apple” mini lip tint!

I hope you all enjoyed the review! This collection is seriously SO adorable and would be amazing for any Animal Crossing fan’s makeup collection!

Hello there! Dressing for the fall weather while still maintaining a fashionable, nerdy look, can be incredibly difficult. Luckily for you, in this article, I will provide you with four tips to keep your fall fashion warm AND geeky.

Tip #1: Wear a subtly geeky cardigan!

Fandom Fashion for Fall

Subtly geeky cardigans are PERFECT for fall. They give you the warmth you need for chilly weather while remaining perfectly fashionable.

They work wonderfully with a tank top or t-shirt. I love to pair them with this black tee. I would also recommend trying them with a staple fall color, such as red or orange! Both of these geeky cardigans are from Elhoffer Design.

Tip #2: Pair a fashion cardigan with a geeky shirt.

Fandom Fashion for Fall

If you’re like me and have a massive selection of geeky shirts, you can keep wearing them throughout fall!

A warm cardigan is a perfect way to make your nerdy shirts just that little bit warmer. I found this cardigan at Giant Tiger, but you can find some great cardigans in almost any clothing store.

You can also try pairing my next tip with this one for another fall ensemble! This shirt is from jordandene.

Tip #3: Jazz up your fandom sweatshirts and t-shirts with a hat!

Brittany has their hands on their hips, giving the camera a suave look. They are wearing a black fedora, and a white t-shirt. The t-shirt has Princess Leia holding a crystal ball on it, with the words 'you coulda had a bad witch.

Hats are in, in, in this fall!

I personally love my black fedora, but any wide brim is perfect. They level up any t-shirt or sweatshirt and bring your look right into that desired fall aesthetic. Halloween or fall-themed nerdy shirts are also a great idea.

This sweatshirt is from Her Universe, and the t-shirt is from Friday Apparel.

Bonus Tip #4: Berry Lipstick!

Because I’m wearing it in almost all my photos, I’m adding this tip. Berry lipstick is a perfect addition to any fabulous fall look!

So, there you have it! I hope these three tips help you elevate your geeky wardrobe this autumn!

I don’t know about other geeks, but my favorite thing to do when I’m sad is binge a stand-up comedy special on Netflix. In case you’re like me and are always looking for new recommendations while you self-isolate, here’s a list of my go-tos (with some newer additions!) All of these are available on Netflix unless otherwise specified.
