One last tip for prepping fall lips is to moisturize at night. Some of the deeper pigment colors and heavier, long wearing formulations can be drying. Whether you choose Vaseline, Carmex, Chap Stick, Softlips, Kielh’s, or take the plunge for LaMer please keep that pretty kisser full of moisture. Have fun falling in love with some new lip products!

InStyle Best of the Web

This months InStyle has their yearly list for best websites. They definetly list some of my favorites; Sephora, Ulta and, Bigelow Chemists. Some that I am in the process of going through are ThreeCustom.com, luckyscent.com, and beautyhabit.com. The left off the list which I love is Beauty.com/Drugstore.com; the products range from drug store EVERYTHING - to a great selection of more products with higher price points. They always have a great selection of "freebies". After I check out the new sites I will get back with you, until then, let me know what your favorite sites are!

Recession Proof Beauty…

I might sound like a crazy lady, but this a new value idea. Are you a woman who loves a great buy, maybe a beauty set. Ok. This is my favorite idea to buy and make a few bucks. Whenever you get the “gifts with purchase” or “bonus with purchase” ; keep them sealed and consider reselling on ebay and/or craiglist. Now you have your favorite beauty pics but can get a little kick-back too!!!!

I might sound like a broken record….

I realize that I plug on-line beauty deals, this one rocks!!! Sephora has a trio of Smashbox’s “O” products. Great!!!! For 48 bucks you can get lip plumper, lip gloss, and cheek tint. All great products, a little bit goes a long way with all products. Well worth the price! Not to mention that right now if you are a “beauty insider” with Sephora you will get five samples instead of three. Doesn’t look good in black and white, great opportunity to try out new goodies!!!

If you are in for a bit of a “clearance splurge”; check out hautelook.com, you might not always find just what you want but when you do the savings are worth it!

Lower temps mean more moisture

Falling temps = UP the moisture

Just when you thought the aloe vera wasn’t enough, here comes fall!!! Ladies, please, stick with a bit of SPF but also go a bit heavier on moisture. These are my pics, let me know what you think!

- Vaseoline’s new Sheer Infusion lotions. Sold!

-Still lovin’ Olay Quench.

- In the mood for a splurge? Kiehl’s is the place to go. No one knows how to moisturize like my favorite apothecary!
