I am a sucker for creatively packaged makeup. Some of my fave blushes and bronzers are the ones that come in great mosaic-style color patterns — best of all, all the colors always swirl perfectly to create the perfect shade. As soon as I saw the Dior Fall Look Jungle Palette my interest was piqued. Usually I’m very particular about applying one shadow at a time, but these blended shades look perfectly coordinated and I bet they swirl together to create the perfect bronzed eye look. Keep in mind that bronzed lids are a great transition to fall’s deeper smoky eye looks. As a bonus, the palette also packs a shimmery nude gloss in the palette so your lips don’t miss out on the fun.

Sephora-By-OPI-Only-Gold-For-Me-Top-Coat.jpgNormally, I’m not a fan of chunky glitter nail polish. I don’t like the gritty texture of it upon my nails, or how difficult it is to remove. But in the case of Sephora by OPI Only Gold For Me Top Coat, it’s impossible not to make an exception.

Not only does this nail polish sparkle equally as bright in the sun as in a darkened room, but its ability to overwhelm knows no bounds. It sparkles, it glistens, it glitters … in other words, it demands attention.

Plus, it works well on its own or layered over other colors. I’ve tried it over black, over nude, even over a shimmery gold, and it just keeps on looking amazing! I’ve discussed this top coat’s merits with manicurists and nail polish obsessed friends alike, and we all agree—it’s a keeper.

And, at the end of the day, it’s not too painfully hard to take off. Who knew?

Sephora by OPI Only Gold For Me Top Coat retails for $9.50 at sephora.com.
Beach-Inspired-Beauty-Products.jpgAs summer winds down, we’re taking advantage of every possible minute to be outside … preferably at the beach. But for those minutes and hours when we’re stuck in an office, these beach-inspired products really make us feel like we’re sipping Mai Tais in a bikini, watching the waves crash on the shore.

Bath & Body Works Forever Sunshine Body Lotion
It’s impossible not to smile at a product with a name like this! It’s even better that the notes of golden apricot, pink peonies and praline are intoxicatingly sweet.

NEST Beach Classic Candle
It’s pretty hard not to be transported right to a beach with the name of this candle alone, right? Coconut, melon and turquoise water notes just make it seem that much more real.

The ombre hairstyle has been big for a while, and I’ve seen probably every iteration imaginable. But, I have to say that Lea Michele’s rendition is probably one of my all time faves. Her deep dark roots slowly shift down to beautiful golden caramel ends and the entire effect just looks amazing on her. If you’ve been debating the ombre, I suggest you consider requesting this specific combo at the hair salon this fall.
Disney-Fairy-Princess-Lip-Smackers.jpgOh, to be a kid again. We’ve long been obsessed with Disney movies, Disney princesses, fairy tales … there’s just something so lovely about the idea of escaping to another world through these media. And it’s never been so easy, thanks to the Disney Lip Smacker Fairy Tale Adventure Trio Collection.

Seriously, how adorable are the three lip balms in this collection? Choose from Jasmine (Berry Magic), Ariel (Calypso Berry) or Belle (Tea Party Treats). Each one features one of the Disney princesses on the front and they’re all packed with shimmer and glitter, which just make us feel so girly and cute.

And, as with every Lip Smacker, our lips are left feeling soft, smooth and moisturized! What’s not to love?

The Disney Lip Smacker Fairy Tale Adventure Trio Collection retails for $4.50 at colorandflavorshop.com.
