Back to School Beauty: Easing Your Way into Fall.

graphic_btsb_icon.jpgEasing your way into the Fall season is a difficult task. We want to still look healthy from our summer (hopefully fake) glow, but want to stay on trend in the same.

I found a glorious collection that is perfect for making the transition during this in-between season seamless. Meet the Summer Solstice Collection from Borghese.

Start with a Tinted Moisturizer – “Summer Glow”, in a shade that gently kisses the skin with a healthy radiance and a touch of protective moisture. This moisturizer glides on efforlessly and leaves a beautiful glowing finish to any skin tone.

The collection also includes five delectable Lip Balm Shimmer shades to take you from daylight to moonlight. Each on is sheer and light, yet loaded with shine. The balms also deliver soothing protection to keep lips smooth, color-drenched and kissable. The shades: Starlight, Breeze, Sun Goddess, Sherbert, and Beach Berry can be worn alone, mixed, or smoothes on over lipstick for a final touch of "glow".

And do not forget the eyes! A Shadow Milano Trio in Firenze Blush provides the prettiest palette to highlight the eyes from dawn to dusk. They blend together beautifully, and help keep you looking glowing and healthy, while adding in just the right amount of color.

Fantisimo!

Officially Fall.

Well, my friends - Fall has officially arrived. And it seems that I am in the minority because I hate the fall. I hate the cooler temperatures, the days getting shorter, all the leaves and acorns - just about everything about it. The only bright spot in the shorter, darker days is that I am able to start wearing new Fall makeup. And new Fall makeup means darker shades, browns, and berry's.  I turned over a new leaf this week and started with the Fall multiple seasonings of color.

On my eyes, I have been loving all the three brown shades in Benefit's Weather Girl Palette.  They are a bit frosty, but just perfect for my hazel colored eyes.  And topping that is Bourjois Metallic Eyeliner Pencil in a beautiful copper called Feuille De Cuivre. I use the eyeliner, which is just so easy to smooth on, over the shadow and it highlights the  frostiness in the shadows with the metallics in the eyeliner.  Stunning.

On my cheeks I have been loving Tarte's Mineral Powder Bronzer in Hotel Heiress. It is not too bronzy, just a bit of bronze with a hint of a ruddy pink it in. It does not look that way at all in the compact, but that is what it does to my cheeks - and it is just perfect. If I am looking for more color, I have just discovered MAX Factors Satin Blush in Peach Spice. If NARS Orgasm Blush is a tad too light for you, try this shade. It is just a tone deeper, and perfect for even my now pale complexion.

Okay - the lips. I swear I have been trying a new color everyday. A few of my favorites so far are DuWops Anti-Venom Satin Lipstick in Bamboo, a sheer wash of berry; MAC's newest Viva Glam VI, a plum with a pearl finish; Bobbi Brown's Lip Shimmer in Candlelight, the perfect gold to simply wear along or over one of Fall's berry lip shades; Clinique's Full Potential Lips (their lip plumping lipgloss entry) in Blackberry Bloom, a sheer yet rich berry shade; and Benefit's Color Plump in Hey Sailor, a glazed berry with their Big Magic 2 Lip Gloss over it.

That is all I have gotten to so far this Fall. What are some of your new Fall favorites?
