Fall Beauty Updates

A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous."- Coco Chanel
As the days get shorter and the night gets longer and the leaves start to change colors, my beauty routine is changing to match the new season. I think it is important to update my normal routines and products to mirror the changes in my environment. 

Skincare: Now the air is drying out it is more important than ever to stay moisturized. 

  • Body:
    • I am a big fan of Jergens lotion and I am currently using Jergen's Ultra Healing Lotion to combat the dry air of Autumn.
    • I also discovered Morroccan Argan Oil which I use after I moisturize and in the shower or bath. It really does give your skin a silky smooth finish.
  • Face:
    • I have been wanting to try a Clarisonic Facial brush, but I couldn't bring myself to spend that kind of money. Instead I decided to buy Ulta's Cleansing System. It only costs $25 compared to $150. I used it for the first time yesterday and I could feel a difference immediately. After I take off my makeup I use Neutrogena Illuminating Foamy Cleanser with the brush and I can feel the air in my pores. I think this is a great purchase for anyone who wants to have clean skin and the ability to really exfoliate well. 
    • I am also a major proponent of face masks both for skin benefits and the relaxation benefits. I love this Purifying Mud Mask, it goes on bright blue so you can have great William Wallace moments. 
Nails: Dark colors and neutrals all day. My signature color is Haute Couture Red.

Makeup:
No Makeup
Foundation + Eyebrow definition 
Finished Product
Hair: My hair was absolutely destroyed from the summer so in order to get ready for fall, I got a haircut! My stylist took around 3 inches of dead ends from my hair and recut some long layers. She also threw in a complimentary deep conditioning treatment to get some life back into my lifeless hair.
