    Updating your look for fall can be done really inexpensively. This year, easy-to-wear purple and metallic eyeshadows are on trend, so I picked up some drugstore finds to tackle each look. Both pack a lot of style for just a little money. The one on the left is from Sonia Kashuk. I found it at Target,…

    There’s something about whipping up an at-home beauty remedy that makes me feel like I’m in sixth grade at my best friend’s house trying on make-up and practicing new ways to do hair.

    I’ve run across some new beauty products that I’m obsessed with. The first is Benefit’s “They’re Real” mascara. I’ve been a longtime user of Maybelline’s Great Lash, but this one is smudge proof and gives your lashes great volume and length. I’ve also fallen for their Watts Up, highlighter. Smoothed across cheekbones and brow bones,…

    Today, I whipped up a little banana mask up in my quest for great DIY beauty. Designed for oily skin, I thought it would be perfect for me. I keep ripe bananas frozen in my freezer and used one for this recipe. Please do not do this. Use a fresh one instead. The mask works…

    After my post about a dark lip, I thought I should share a recipe I found for a lip scrub over at Petite Elefant. Having something like this in your back pocket is critical to pulling off any of the bold lip colors popular for fall. I also have a feeling it will come in handy…

    Wine or bordeaux colored lipstick is hot for fall, but I’ve been a little apprehensive to try it. For starters, the look reminds me of the 90’s. Oh, you don’t remember this?

    A year ago, I did a post on DIY Beauty. For a while, I’ve been wanting to try some of the other recipes I found while researching, and finally landed on this almond orange scrub via Pink of Perfection. I had all of the ingredients on hand, so it seemed like a perfect fit. It was a…
