Beauty Diving for Fall

Every season, before I start reaching in my wallet to buy new items for the season, I take inventory if what I already have so I don’t waste my money on things that I already have.

So, here is a small list of things that I found in my possession that are perfect for fall:

  • CoverGirl  Cheekers Blush in Natural Twinkle – The last few weeks of summer, I was using a light bronzer as blush for a natural summer bronze. However, for fall, this blush is perfect flush of natural light plum. It has the perfect name!
  • O.P.I A Qui Bit of Red nail polish – A bright true red nail is so classic and chic, especially in the fall and winter. This red from OPI’s La Collection de France is a classic red that just makes me feel uber sophisticated and retro when I wear it!
  • O.P.I Bronzed To Perfection nail polish – Although this shade is from the South Beach Collection which was for spring/summer, the deep bronzey brown works perfectly with fall. Love it!
  • iQ Derma Glacial Hydrating Gel Mask – Now that the humidity has left, my combination skin is more on the dry side than oile. So, I broke out this hydrating mask the other night and it was awesome! My skin is so soft, supple, refreshed and moisturized. Plus, it feels so good on!
  • Estee Lauder Pure Color Lipstick in Sugar Honey – Another bronze beauty product that I’m loving. I actually got this as a free gift with purchase it provides a nice soft bronze color with a very faint hint of pink. However, it’s so nice and natural and perfect for fall.
  • Avon Glazewear Intense Lipgloss in Crimson – Let me just say, Avon has some of the worst swatches in their catalog and online. When I ordered this gloss, I was under the impression that this was going to give me fresh bitten color. However, it’s a very intense burgundy with shimmer for intensity. It makes a great lip color for the evening,
  • Clinique Long Last Glosswear in Knockout Nude – Since this is a very sheer gloss, I’ve been using it to top all the hot pink lipsticks and glosses I wore all summer. This gloss makes the pinks appear warmer, kind of mauve-y and lovely for fall.

Bobbi Brown: New Book, Site, and Palette!

The last thing I need is another beauty book to buy, site to visit daily, and a palette filled with items that are workable for everyday looks. However, when Bobbi Brown’s name is attached, how can you or I not want all three of these items in our life.

Keep reading to see more about the latest addictive additions from Bobbi Brown.

Renowned makeup artist Bobbi Brown is helping young women become their most amazing selves with her fresh, new beauty bible Beauty Rules. In Beauty Rules, Bobbi builds beauty from the inside out with tips on everything from exercise and eating right to the importance of being a great friend.  And, of course, there’s plenty about getting great makeup.

“We live in a digital age now where girls have access to so much information; the messages are mixed and confusing for young girls. I wrote Beauty Rules because I wanted to give each of these girls the tools and knowledge they need to be their most confident selves. The book also contains step by step beauty tips, and information about healthy living, as beauty is not only what you look like on the outside, it’s what you put inside your body as well.” – Bobbi Brown

In celebration of her new book, Bobbi designed a pretty palette of wearable eye, lip and cheek colors and launched a new site, www.BeautyRules.com. The sites features behind the scenes photos and video footage, before and after images, and a quiz that allows users to create their own set of beauty rules, while accurately match themselves to one of the girls in the book. Plus, a great mother-daughter makeover sweeps.

“What I’ve discovered is that many girls are introduced to makeup by their mothers who are bringing them to the makeup counters. I hope that Beauty Rules can help to start the dialogue between mothers and daughters about beauty, nutrition, and overall wellness and self-confidence. It’s a reference guide for mothers just as much as it is for their daughters.” -Bobbi Brown

The limited edition palette features edgy but totally wearable eye, lip and cheek colors that can work any age and occasion.

The palette and book are both currently available for sale on www.BobbiBrownCosmetics.com and visit www.BeautyRules.com to see more info from the book.

P.S. I wish I knew that you get free shipping on every order when you order from BobbiBrownCosmetics.com! I would have been doing that instead of fighting the fiesty and fabulous dames at my local Bobbi Brown counter.

Brushing Up With… Brush Cleaners!

She’s BBAAACCKK! Yes, in-house beauty junkie, Beautylishus is back with two reviews on two different brush cleaners; Essence of Beauty Brush Cleaner and ELF Brush Cleaner. Keep reading to see her opinions!

Essence of Beauty Brush Cleanser: I’m a Essence of Beauty product fan so when I saw their brush cleaner on the wall I just had to try it! However, I was a tad bit apprehensive because the price was $10.00 for a drugstore brand, but I just sucked up my frugality and went ahead and bought it. When it was time to actually test the product I had hopes that it would be a good quick clean process but I was mistaken. The cleaner did clean the brush, but it wasn’t as fast drying as I would have hoped. The brush smell isn’t very pretty. Somewhat on the strong side. Think of a mixture between a flowery perfume and bleach and that’s what the smell is similar too. The thing that I really did like about this product is how there was no trace of makeup left in the brush. It completely clean and cleared out my eyeshadow brush fully pigmented with mac’s chrome yellow shadow! This product is a pretty okay product to just have, but if I were to skip it during checkout, I most definitely would.

ELF Brush Cleaner: When I received this product in the mail, I didn’t think too much of it because its made by the budget $1 cosmetic company ELF. after realizing that it was apart of their “pro” line, I became reeeeeeally excited  because their black label “pro” items have yet to fail me. This cleanser is a must have because it not only smells good but by the time you are finished cleaning (by brushing the bristles back and forth across a dry fabric) it dry and ready to be used. It also left no trace of color. It’s quick drying,good smelling inexpensive product! This officially stays in my kit. You should have it in your stash also!

The NEW Reach by Design Collection

When I was a little girl and my mom tried to buy me a simple solid-colored otherwise “blah” toothbrush, I would pout like no other! I never wanted just a red, yellow, or white toothbrush. Instead, I wanted one that had a colorful print or one of my many favorite cartoons stuck along it (Did they ever make a Gem toothbrush?!), because I loved having a fun and different colored printed toothbrush. When my mom would reach for one of those “bleh” ones, I would scream “No! I want one of the pretty ones!” So, when I saw these Reach’s new Design Collection toothbrushes, I couldn’t help but feel like a little girl again wanting one of the “pretty ones”!

The new Reach by Design Collection features the same awesome quality toothbrushes that makes Reach one of my favorite, but with some new fun and chic prints. Reach enlisted a group of style and tastemakers that included interior designers Tom Delevan and Celerie Kemble and celeb stylist Brad Goreski to created a limited edition collection of bright and unexpected prints and patterns that could help add a splash of style to any bathroom.

Personally, I’m in the mood for the zebra print, yellow striped, or the pixel print ones. One of the many benefits of having an all white bathroom means that I can pick any color I want!

Since they are limited edition, I suggest you pick out your favorite and get it now! So, which one tickles your fancy?
