I look forward to Fall with great anticipation because it happens to be my absolute favorite season. It goes without saying that even in the realm of beauty, autumnal hues dominate my makeup looks and routine. Truth of the matter is, you and I can rock Fall makeup sans elaborate frills. Did I say 5 minutes? here's a quick tutorial for you!

STEP 1 | Start with a clean canvas. Wash, tone, moisturize and apply sunscreen. I rely on multi-tasking products such as Paula's Choice Resist Youth-Extending Daily Mattifying Fluid SPF 50. It hydrates, protects against harmful UV rays and keeps oil at bay. STEP 2 | For daytime wear, opt for light coverage to allow your skin to breathe. Use BB or CC cream like By Terry Cellularose Moisturizing CC Cream. It is subtly-tinted and blurs imperfections. STEP 3 | Conceal dark circles, fake a good sleep. Apply and blend under the eye area. My go-to is NARS Creamy Concealer. STEP 4 | Apply eye for longevity then sweep shimmer taupe eyeshadow all over eyelids using flat eyeshadow brush. For this tutorial, I used NARS Dual Intensity Eyeshadow Himalia. STEP 5, 6 | Curl lashes and apply 1-2 coats of mascara. STEP 7 | Set concealer and/or as you normally would. My favorite product to-date is Lingerie de Peau Powder Foundation STEP 8 | Extend your summer warmth vis-a-vis glow. Trust me, it compliments Fall's dark makeup or vampy lips. With domed powder brush, lightly apply bronzer on the hollows of your cheeks. For this look, I used Tom Ford Illuminating Powder Duo Moodlight (dark shade). STEP 9 | Finish with luminous berry like Tom Ford Lip Color Moroccan .

I hope you enjoyed this 5-Minute Fall Makeup! Fall is the time for sultry smoky eyes and beautiful bold lips! And while I happen to be a huge fan of both, fall lip colors definitely take the cake for me. I just love the deep plums (and wines, and berries... they're kind of all in the same general family of gorgeousness), rich reds and darker nudes that tend to come around again every fall. There is always a lipstick in each of these shades that'll flatter any skin tone and take your fall makeup look up a FALL notch. Here are the three must-have lipstick shades for fall! PLUMS At the top of my list for plums this season is the Pixi Mattrelustre Lipstick in Plum Berry. It's super creamy, so easy to apply and is a gorgeous plum/berry shade (if you couldn't tell by the name, haha!). Runners up are the MAC Satin Lipstick in Rebel and the Bite Beauty Luminous Creme Lipstick in Mulberry. REDS I personally feel that it's hard to go wrong with reds. There really is a variation of this color that'll flatter every skin tone! My current favorite is the Rouge Artist Intense Lipstick in Moulin Rouge. This lipstick applies like a dream and wears like a dream! Runners up are the Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Outlaw and the Milani Color Statement Lipstick in Matte Confident.

NUDES It took me a long time to realize that nude lipsticks don't have to be the same color as (or lighter than) your skin. They can be a bit darker- and have different pink, brown or peach tones to them- and still be considered a nude... revelation, haha! I am absolutely in love with the New Nudes Sheer Lip Gel in Role Play. It is the most perfect dusty rose nude for fall. Runners up are the NYX Cosmetics Round Case Lipstick in Minimalism and the L'Oreal Collection Privee The Perfect Nudes Lipstick in Jennifer's Nude.

I promise that there will be a lipstick in each of these shades that will work for you, regardless of your skin tone- you may just have to do some swatching in-store before deciding on which exact lipsticks to try. And more than anything, remember that confidence is KEY in pulling off an awesome lip color- so just rock it! Summer is over and Fall is in full swing. Of course with the change in season you are probably updating your makeup bag and your skincare routine. I have five quick tips to help you make the transition easy!

1) Get a new foundation match. I'm always surprised by how quickly my tan fades away and I am left somewhere between my summer shade and my hasn't-seen-sunlight-in-six-months FALL April shade. Check out Color IQ at or ask a sales associate to help you color match yourself for something that suits your skin tone. Some of my favorite foundation formulas for Fall are the Beyond Perfecting Foundation + Concealer, Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Invisible Cover BEAUTY Foundation, and Estée Lauder Double Wear.

2) Try out a smoky eye. I wear smoky eyes year round, but there's something about a smoky eye and berry lips that just screams Fall to me. Most neutral palettes have a wide range of shades that are suitable for a smoky eye. Some of my favorites lately are the Becca Ombre Rouge palette, and the Smoky palette. 3) Find a new signature scent. I tend to move away from some of the lighter, fruitier scents that I enjoy in the summer and gravitate towards fragrances with amber, vanilla, and woodsy florals. A good way to pick out a new set is find a sampler that contains many scents from different fragrance families. Check out the Sephora Favorites Perfume Sampler for a sample set that comes complete with a voucher for your full sized favorite. My signature scent last Fall was L'Occitane's Arlésienne, a beautiful fragrance with extracts of rose from Grasse, sweet violet, and saffron from Provence.

4) Find a good . I am pretty good about keeping my lips hydrated, but in the colder months of the year it's especially important to keep up with lip balm. I try to wear it to bed most nights to keep dry lips at bay. Some of my favorites have been the Bite Beauty Agave Mask and Burt's Bees Replenishing Lip Balm.

5) Stay hydrated. This one seems obvious but with the return of the #PSL everyone starts to load up on hot caffeinated drinks and forget about water. I try to drink two glasses of water for each cup of coffee I consume. My skin, hair, and nails all seem to fare better when I load up on water! I got my current water bottle at Home Goods, but I've heard great things about the bkr glass water bottle so that will be my next purchase!

PHOTO BY: MAKEUP LIFE AND LOVE Glowing skin is something everybody wants! There are so many contributing factors to having nice skin. Some things you can't help (genetics) and some things you can help (great habits). Read on for ten skincare tips that will help you achieve glowing skin.

1) Stay hydrated. Make sure you are getting enough water and your skin will show the results of this great habit. I carry GLOWING a chic water bottle with me to remind me to drink up!

2) Nourish your skin from the inside out. The cleaner I keep my diet, the clearer my skin looks. Loading up on fruits, SKIN veggies, whole grains, and other healthy noms keep my skin looking great. As a bonus, eating healthy keeps me in great shape too! I eat a high protein salad almost every day for lunch that is amazing and keeps my skin looking awesome.

3) Cleanse with oils. Rather than using makeup removers and washing my face over and over again, I have been cleansing with oils at night to remove my makeup, and following up with another . My skin has been more balanced than ever since I started doing this. A favorite cleansing oil of mine is the Perfect Cleansing Oil, but if you don't want to spring for a new purchase, use olive oil! I usually follow up with Murad Refreshing Cleanser. 4) Avoid over exfoliating. Using a harsh scrub every day can be really hard on your skin. I exfoliate a couple times a week and avoid gritty scrubs that leave my skin pink after using them. Shiseido Ibuki Purifying Cleanser has micro-granules for a gentle exfoliating effect. The Foreo Luna is also a great tool that will give your skin a deeper clean without stripping your skin of its natural oils.

5) Always wear sunscreen. This might be the most important point on the list! If you want to have great skin as you age, avoid tanning beds and slather on the SPF. You'll avoid prematurely aging your skin, age spots, and other unsightly skin issues if you just use sunscreen!

6) Check the ingredient list. If you are looking for products with specific skin care benefits, make sure the ingredient you are seeking out is not too far down on the ingredient list. Many awesome skincare ingredients that may just be an additive to your face cream or serum are available as stand alone products as well. Hyaluronic Acid is a popular ingredient for hydrating the skin found in many pricey serums, but Reviva Labs Hyaluronic Acid can be found in the $20 range!

7) Use skincare targeted to the concerns you need to address. A lot of people are worried about wrinkles and use rich face creams from a young age, which then cause them to break out. Make sure the products you are using are lining up with your skincare goals.

8) Don't overdo it with anti-acne products. Having pimples is a major bummer but many anti-acne products like salycylic acid and benzoyl peroxide can be very drying. Murad is an amazing skincare line that targets acne and anti-aging at once without drying out the skin at all. Murad's Acne Clearing Kit is a great place to start if you're trying to get rid of blemishes without drying out your skin.

9) Use a hydrating mist. To maintain a hydrated and luminous complexion during the day, spritz your face with a spray for dehydrated skin. Caudalie's Grape Water increases skin's moisturization by 10%

10) Use a mask for glowing skin. L'Occitane's Divine Cream Mask comes with a special applicator for massaging the skin. It's a treat for your face and with regular use gorgeous and glowing skin will emerge. The price tag may be high, but the results seem worth it! 5 WAYS TO UPDATE YOUR SKINCARE FOR FALL

Summer is quickly becoming a distant memory. Pumpkin Spice Lattes are back on the Starbucks menu and that signals Fall is just around the corner. As much as I hate to say goodbye to summer; I’m ready to trade the bold neons for warm and chic colors. I’m excited to see fall collections hitting the stores.

Before you grab those dark and vampy or subtle neutrals make sure your nails are in tip top shape. Follow these easy 10 steps to get your hands and nails ready to show off fall colors. TOP 5 CREAM NAIL POLISHES FOR FALL PERFECT AT HOME MANICURE

Going to the nail salon every few weeks can get costly and take up a ton of your time that most of us just don’t have. Don’t think you have what it takes to create perfectly posh and chic nails at home? Think again! If you follow these tips and tricks, you can get salon quality in no time and for half the cost! STEP ONE : GATHER THE ESSENTIALS

When I do my manicures at home, I always make sure I have the following ready to go :

• Nail File (I love using the 4 step file I picked up at Walgreens. It’s so convenient!

• Cuticle Pusher

• Nail Clippers (In case you need a trim)

• Cuticle Oil & Balm

• Nail Polish Remover

• Clean Up Brush / Cup

• Hand

• Base Coat & Top Coat STEP TWO : START PREPPING! Start by removing your previous nail polish with your go to polish remover. I have been loving the Ella + Mila Soy Polish Remover lately. It is enriched with vitamins A, C & E as well as lavender essential oil. This helps to moisturize your nails and doesn't contain acetone or harsh chemicals that tend to dry them out.

If your nails need a trim, go ahead and use your nail clippers to clip them down. If not, go ahead and file whichever shape is best for you. I tend to file mine square.

Once you are all filed and buffed, it’s time to work on those cuticles! Grab your Nail Butter and start massaging a pea size amount onto each nail. The Nail Butter will quickly absorb into your cuticles making them feel hydrated and moisturized. Take your cuticle pusher and gently push back your cuticles. I will then take a cuticle oil and brush it on my cuticles again for the extra hydration. I have been LOVING the cuticle oils from Delush Polish. She has fantastic Fall scents (My favorite right now is Vermont Honey Apple!)

After your cuticles have been pampered, grab your favorite hand lotion and generously apply it onto your hands and arms. Before you begin polishing, make sure it has been completely absorbed and is dry. Want to feel extra pampered? Grab a washcloth and run it under EXTREMELY hot water to create your own hot towel compress and place it over your hands for a few minutes. So luxurious!

STEP THREE : TIME TO PAINT! Once your lotion and cuticle oil have completely absorbed, it’s time to pick your favorite color and begin the polishing process.

Before applying a base coat, use a cotton ball or cotton round dipped in polish remover to remove any excess oils or on the nail bed. This will help to give you a clean and even manicure.

Applying a base coat is a must! There are some polishes that will stain your nails and the base coat will protect them from doing so. My go to right now is KBShimmer Basic Training. Using a base coat also creates a long lasting bond between the nail and the polish.

Once your base coat is dry, start applying your favorite shade! Apply your color in layers, allowing each one to dry in between coats. Two coats of polish plus a shiny top coat like Glisten & Glow HKGirl will do the trick. This top coat dries INCREDIBLY fast and gives your nail polish an intense shine. With this top coat, your polish will last for up to 7 days! if you notice any polish on your skin, clean up is a breeze with the right tools. I grab a small glass jar & fill it with polish remover and clean up my skin and any imperfections with a small cosmetics brush. My go to (and ones I buy in bulk) are from and cost a whopping one dollar! And Voila! You’re done!

Pop on some Netflix and patiently wait for your nails to dry before moving onto your next task. If you touch up your manicure every few days with another layer of top coat, you can definitely get more wear time! Or if you’re like me and love to change your polish color every few days, skip that step! And of course, keep those hands & cuticles moisturized!

And that’s it! You can absolutely get a gorgeous and salon quality manicure in the comfort of your own home without having to pay someone. What are some of your favorite at home manicure tools? 5 FALL NAIL TRENDS

Fall is here, and with the change in season comes a change in your hair care routine. Whether you are looking to get your hair back in shape after a summer of trips to the beach, dry from the heat, or just trying to maintain a healthy mane during the colder months, I have the best of the best tips for caring for your hair through fall.

TIP 1: Less Often Fall brings cooler temps, so your head is going to be sweating less. Less time in pools, lakes and oceans means you can slow down on the . Better still, choose one that is sulfate free.

TIP 2: Get a Moisturizing Conditioner The cooler temperatures mean that I can’t air dry my hair as easily as I can in the summer. I end up using a diffuser to help things along, which can add to dryness of my hair. I use a heavier daily conditioner once fall comes around.

TIP 3: Deep Treat Moisture! Moisture! Moisture! How often you deep treat will depend on your hair. Fine hair can easily get weighed down, so use your best judgement. I go from deep treating once per week in the summer to two times per week during fall.

TIP 4: Get a Trim I like to trim my ends with the change of season. Since I am so diligent about maintaining healthy hair, I don’t find that I need to trim my ends more often than that.

TIP 5: Find Your Perfect Updo While I do like wearing my hair down with all of those cute fall scarves, they can contribute to hair damage at the base of your neck by rubbing against your hair as you turn your head back and forth. Try and wear more updos to keep your hair away from your scarves.

Follow these tips and your hair will thank you for it! FALL HAIR

GOLD ACCESSORIES Gold is one of those colors that naturally goes with the fall shades we see trending. It looks rich, regal, & adds some fun to your hair without much effort! Some of my favorites are no-snag hair ties like these stretchy metallic ones or these with some beads! I often wear them around my wrist like a bracelet. Another favorite is a gold chain headband- cute & can be dressed up or down! Beaded headbands with a touch of gold are also comfortable & golden bobby pins are very chic! STYLE EXTENDERS Fall is the beginning of colder weather...& dryness! Keep your hair looking good without overwashing with these style extenders! Redken Pillow Proof Blow Dry Primer Spray helps to cut blow dry time, acts as a heat protectant, & helps make your style last even through your sleep! Suffer from lack of volume the next day or right after washing but don't need to use dry shampoo? I'm in love with the Redken Quick Tease 15 to give me some grip when combing in the volume after I wash & the Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Texture & Volume Spray on day two hair for some oomph. Love a tousled look? Then the Style Sexy Hair Play Dirty Dry Wax Spray will be your best friend, I love using this on my second day hair after wearing a hat! Last I have the oh-so- affordable Fructis Style De-Constructed Texture Tease Hairspray which gives an instant boost to hair & a textured appearance. HAIR When the weather gets more dry...hair rebels & needs some extra TLC. Curly Twirls Twirl Tamer is great for gals with wavy to curly hair that want to moisturize & style without that sticky feeling. For natural moisture I turn to Organic Virgin Coconut Oil & apply it to my ends over night. I wash it out in the morning & my ends are so healthy! Love a hair mask? The DermOrganic Intensive Hair Repair Masque is a blessing- super rich & helps repair hair in the shower! Don't have enough time for that? Check out the Freeman Beauty Papaya & Mango Moisture 3 Minute Conditioner is also a great pick for a bit more moisture without going overboard! BLACK & WHITE DETAILS

Want to invest in hair accessories you can wear time after time? I'm obsessed with black & white hair accessories because they never go out of style & look great with almost any outfit. For fall, I especially like black & off-white so it isn't so harsh & the creamier shades melds better with the rich fall hues. You can view handmade items from Italy which happen to be from my favorite company Moliabal here. They have an entire b&w line that I lust after all the time! Another option is some affordable bows like these I found online which look chic at the base of a bun!

OILS & SERUMS

Want to cure your hair of dryness? My best tip is finding the perfect oil or serum! I really love the CHI Argan Oil Plus Moringa Oil which is my favorite for heat styling as well! Redken All Soft Argan-6 Oil is probably my favorite oil for when I'm leaving my hair down & curly because it makes my hair incredibly soft & adds beautiful shine. Want something luxe? The ISO Beauty Ionix 24K Pure Gold Flakes Hair Serum is definitely luxurious with gold flakes, a nice gold bottle, & doesn't make hair feel heavy or greasy. Last is the Tara Smith Base Coat Serum which is vegan & totally stops frizz while lasting between shampoos! This serum is amazing and a serious must have.

So what are your hair must haves for Fall? FABULOUS EXTENSIONS

The world of hair extensions can be very intimidating to someone who is completely new to them. It is very easy to invest money in a set and totally ruin them which can sour your hair extensions experience. Let me guide you through the world of hair extensions so you can avoid a hair extension meltdown. W H A T T Y P E S A R E T H E R E ? Choose the hair extension system that works for you. I’ll break them down in a second but always remember that extensions require maintenance. Some systems more than others. If you cannot commit to the daily upkeep, save your money! Now, lets break down the hair extensions options available:

Clips Ins/Halos/Glue Ins - Perfect for changing up your hair when you want a temporary change. Halos/Clip Ins should not be worn daily because that can lead to hair loss. You cannot sleep or swim in any temporary system either. Glue Ins are a little more lenient. They can be worn several days at a time and will need to removed prior to showering/swimming. All three systems can be installed at home and can last over a year with great care. Temporary hair extensions are the easiest to care for since they don’t require frequent washing (wash no more than twice a month) and styling.

Sew Ins - An option for those who have full or thick/coarse hair. Your stylist will basically braid your hair wherever they are adding the wefts and sew the wefts in using a thread that matches your hair color. You can do your entire head OR you can do partial sew ins. If you do your entire head you can attach a wig as well. Plan for 4-8 hours of chair time with your stylist. You can swim in, sleep in and wash your Sew Ins. Hair can be worn up or down in a variety of ways. You should return to your stylist every 4-8 weeks to have your extensions tightened. Out of all the semi permanent methods, this one requires the most care when washing. You have to make sure that your hair and scalp dry completely after washing/swimming to avoid mold/mildew and other complications. Depending your method (hair wefts vs a wig) a sew in installation can also be very itchy. The hair is usually reusable. WHAT TYPE TO CHOOSE?
