We love the scent of citrus in the morning. So it only stands to reason that we can’t get enough of Bliss Lemon + Sage Soapy Suds.
This body wash has long been one of our favorites—for so long, actually, that we can’t believe we’ve never told you about it! It smells exactly like lemons and it creates one heck of a ton of suds. You can use it as a body wash or a bubble bath—we prefer it as a body wash, only because it’s a great kickstart to the day after not getting enough sleep the night before.
Plus, it makes skin feel super soft. What could be better?
Bliss Lemon + Sage Soapy Suds retails for $18 at blissworld.com.
Every season, a selection of nail polish colors makes its way into the best, most popular, most used shades. And we’re counting them down for you this fall! Up this week: plum. The shade is regal, beautiful and attention grabbing—it can look violet, grape or even black in certain lights. And we’ve found the best takes on the color for you.Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Fast Dry Nail Color in Uptempo Plum
It’s honestly difficult for us to express just how much we love this polish. The shade is a true deep plum, but what really makes it stand out is the micro-flecks of purple glitter baked into the formula. Plus, it really does what it says—this polish dried to a glossy finish on our nails in one minute flat, no top coat needed.

M.A.C Dark Angel
Creamy, rich and completely opaque in two coats. We’re loving this as a pedicure color for the cooler months.

Maybelline Plum Paradise
Paradise? It most certainly is, with this stunner on our nails. It’s a slightly lighter version of the Sally Hansen—gorgeous shimmer baked in, which really makes this one catch the light beautifully.
$3.99 at drugstore.com
RGB Plum
RGB has a knack for being completely on point with their nail polish names, and this one is no different. It’s a true deep, creamy, absolutely gorgeous plum. And it’s opaque in just one coat.

Nicole Scherzinger let her mouth do all the talking for her at the Cosmopolitan Ultimate Women of the Year Awards. With her bold, super-bright, pink lips she was definitely making a bold statement. Women with high self confidence should have no problem rocking a color this bright on their mouth, but if you are a little more unsure of yourself you might want to opt for a slightly more subtle shade.
To copy Nicole’s lips you need look no further than these three possibilities.

After the beating the East Coast has taken over the past few days from Hurricane Sandy, we’ll take any sort of sunny inspiration we can get. Enter the Kukui Passion Fruit Citrus Travel Tin Candle.The scent is light, crisp and fresh. It brings an ease and simplicity to the room when you burn it — you know it’s there, but it’s not overpowering.
This candle burns evenly and cleanly for up to hours, thanks to the fact that it’s crafted from coconut wax with an all-cotton wick. Plus, the tin is perfect for travel since it’s so adorably teensy! (Which we’ll definitely be taking advantage of once we’re actually able to leave New York again.)
The Kukui Passion Fruit Citrus Travel Tin Candle retails for $12 at hawaiianbodyproducts.com.
