Fall is here and that means it's time to update your routine! Warm temps and sunshine usually make way for low-key beauty, but Autumn is time for a pulled together chic look. 5 Easy ways to update your look: 1) Foundation and moisturizer! Complexion can dull in the Fall as temps drop and we make our way inside. Find a good moisturizer that restores your skin. Reach for a medium foundation. If you used a foundation in the summer, get re-matched to your fall skin to avoid a masky face. 2) Trade your bronzer in for a bright blush. 3) Reach for some eyeshadow; this fall is all about smokey colors and earth tones, plums, golds, bronzes and greens... experiment with them all! 4) Define those brows! A good defined eyebrow not only finishes a look but can also enhance your features. 5) Find a deep lippy shade you love... wines and chocolate tones are classics for Fall and can be a great starting point. Find a shade that best compliments your skin tone.
Some of my picks for Fall
Cake Beauty Milk Made Velveteen Hand Cream: Say bu-bye to dry mitts! *Hands down* the best hand lotion I have ever used, I always keep it in my purse. It smells heavenly... like warm vanilla with just a hint of raspberry... but unlike most sweet-smelling products, doesn't seem to irritate sensitive skin. The formula is moisturizing and non-sticky and absorbs in a flash. Totally worth the price tag - you need this in your life.
Essie Nail Polish - This fall is all about vampy, rich colors, tough yet feminine. Deep reds and creamy mauves dictate this season. The Recessionista collection is perfect for Autumn, but here are a couple colors to consider: Recessionista (an earthy deep plum), Yogaga (a cool sandy beige), and my recent obsession Don't Sweater It (an inviting creamy mauve, as cozy as it's namesake). Since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I threw I am Strong (an "optimistic" pink) into the mix.
Blistex Moisture Melt Lip Protectant: Pay some lip service to this amazing lip treatment! This hydrating lip product makes your lips SO soft - like ridic - and is super long lasting. The scent and taste is light and feels very high quality. Blends nicely with leftover lip color that has stained your lips or as topcoat for actual lip stain for a healthy, fresh look.
Maybelline Color Tattoo Eye Shadow Pomegranate Punk & Gold Shimmer: These shadows by Maybelline are absolutely fab - ultra pigmented with long-wearability like woah. Just slightly shimmery enough to brighten the eyes and it applies like a dream.
Covergirl and Olay Simply Ageless Sculpting Blush Plush Peach: This blush has been my go-to for years - it totally rocks my socks. This cream blush is pigmented enough to give you a healthy glow but isn't too overwhelming. Leaves your skin smooth and moisturized and lasts all day - seal it with a translucent powder for an all day glow.
John Frieda Frizz-Ease Smooth Start Repairing Shampoo & Conditioner: Summer can leave strands parched and dry... give them the TLC you need with this shampoo and conditioner combo that feels amazingly high end with an absolutely affordable price tag. Hair feels softer, healthier and def less frizzy. The formula is gentle on hair and makes it feel crazy clean, the great smell is an added bonus.
Organix Healing Cherry Blossom Rice Milk Cashmere Body Wash: I love this body wash. The smell is amazing and totally feminine, not to mention the formula is gentle and soothing and highly moisturizing with no oily residue.
L'Oreal Youth Code BB Cream: This cream is awesome. The perfect way to add some glow into a dulled complexion. A bit more of a tinted moisturizer than a BB but this lightweight, super hydrating moisturizer is SO creamy and goes on like a dream. The silky texture makes it totally blendable and so easy to apply. It offers light coverage and completely smooths out skins texture to make it a great base for a foundation (even though it could absolutely be worn alone). The result is a natural and dewey finish.
Limited Edition Moist Hemp Berries and Cream Lotion: The moist hemp products are all a win but this limited edition lotion smells divine and makes your skin crazy smooth. It moisturizes well, absorbs quickly, and has serious staying power for all-day moisturizing. You can find this little gem at Sally's Beauty Supply... 5% of each sale goes to Susan G. Komen for the Cure®.
Crest 3D White Mouthwash & Toothpaste: Summertime cocktails can wreak havoc on your pearly whites and this combo can combat even the worst post-Sangria teeth (although it won't do much for the post-Sangria hangovers!) Mouth feels clean and fresh with the added benefit of a brightened smile. Yellow teeth can off-put even the cutest of fall outfits!
L'Oreal Colour Riche Project Runway Queen Kiss: OBSESSED with this find! Part of the Project Runway Collection, this semi-opaque berry shade with slight shimmer. The formula is slightly creamy and glides right on - the shade is very on trend this season's wine/plum colors. Can be worn for an chic day look or layered for a bolder nighttime look.
Revlon Lip Butter Sugar Plum: I love this for day - all the trend with none of the "vamp" just enough color to look finished. The formula is moisturizing enough to comfortably wear alone, or layered on top of your favorite lip balm. What I like about this is it can really be touched up on the go without a mirror.
Covergirl Exact Eyelights Eye Brightening Eyeliner Majestic Jade: This is *supposed* to be for hazel eyes, but I love it for my brown eyes. I'm not too sure how this "brightens eyes" but it is a great a liner that is a nice departure from the usual black or brown. This liner glides on smooth and lasts all day.
Stila Eyeliner Purple Tang: I love this liner - The deep plum is seriously on trend and this liner defines eyes without being as "severe" as black. Plus, this high quality liner stays put and lasts all day.
