The Perfect Sandal-Season Pedicure
I’ve missed my sandals. I missed them so much that I dragged them out of the back of my closet a month ago, only to gaze longingly at them every day, sigh, and pull on another pair of warm socks. After a long, hard fall, winter AND spring of boots, rain boots, and snow boots, I am dying to leave the house in nothing but a kick ass summer dress and a fantastic pair of gladiator sandals.
Makeup 101: From BBQ to Bar
You may not have work or class on Memorial Day, but it’s definitely an on-the-go kinda day. Between the family BBQ and the night out with friends (and, of course, all that patriotism), it is easy to forget about your makeup. And makeup is important if you don’t want to look like a hot sweaty mess. Below are some tips and portable products to help you make an easy makeup transition from grill to dance floor.

Makeup 101: Color Me Neon
Flip flop and strappy sandal season is upon us! Woohoo! That means it’s time to make your toes look pretty, because, let’s face it, they probably look pretty gross after being stuffed in a pair of boots all winter. Grimy toenails are the perfect way to ruin a hot new pair of sandals (not to mention creep out everyone around you), so it’s time to give them a little TLC.
Makeup 101: The Scents of Summer
Summer is just around the corner! Err, well, kind of, anyway; it turns out that being home for summer vacation does not mean that it’s actually summer weather. So, unfortunately I am not sitting on a beach (I tried, but the wind was cold and my leg hair grew back in 4 seconds) and went on a hunt to find fragrances that remind me of the beach (and that have super cute summery bottles!) instead.
Do It Yourself Tuesdays: Chocolate Face Mask
In these tough economic times, everyone is penny-pinching. Everyone is also totally stressing, including college-age women, about money, about finding a job, about passing that last exam so you can pass the class and head home for a summer of beaching and BBQ.
Brighten Up Your Beauty Routine!
A few months ago, we shared our picks for adding more color to your beauty bags. Now the season is in full swing, and we can’t help but feel inspired by all of the colors blooming outdoors, being displayed in store windows and taking center stage at our local beauty counters.
Makeup 101: Shine Without the Shiny
Along with the beautiful summertime weather we are all so freaking excited about comes the not-so-beautiful summertime shine. Not the shine of the gorgeous sun, not the shine of that hot guy’s beach body, but the shine of your oily face. Not. So. Hot. Oily faces are definitely not cute and leave you feeling gross, dirty, and, well, oily.

Makeup 101: Save your Skin from the Sun
So yesterday I got my first sunburn of the year. (At least, I think it’s a sunburn – it may also be a result of my drunken face-plant…) Honestly, though, I’m not gonna complain ’cause Syracuse hasn’t seen the sun in months. I am, however, going to dust off the sun products that have been under my bed for the past 8 months.
Trend-Spotting: Hot Pink Nails!
The latest trend to hit the red carpet? Hot pink nails. We’re talking day-glo bright here — the brighter the better! Celebrities like country singer LeeAnn Rimes, Lauren Conrad and Christina Aguilera are using the hue to punch up black dresses or add even more color to their outfits. And of course we’ve tracked down the best polishes you can use to get the look at home!
Shop Cheap (and Cute) Online!

We’ve featured a few on CollegeCandy before, but we have a whole new batch of great online shops to pick up the hottest looks at some seriously discounted prices.
French Elle’s No Makeup Issue Celebrates Natural Beauty
The most recent issue of French Elle magazine hit shelves earlier this week with an interesting (and might I say, refreshing) twist: all the cover models were photographed without any makeup or photo re-touching.
Makeup 101: Have a Fling with Spring Makeup
So if you live in a normal part of the country, it’s probably starting to get nice and sunny outside (note to Syracuse: please stop snowing). You’ve brightened up your wardrobe and bought some peep toe pumps, so now it’s time to brighten up your face.
All Made Up: Eyeliners Outlined
Eyeliner is the one makeup staple that I just won’t leave the house without. Liner-less eyes make me feel like a zombie and I inevitably get bombarded with “are you sick” or “did you not sleep well” type questions. I’ve tried so many different liners just trying to find that perfect one. And then I realized there isn’t one. The trick is that with so many different varieties, there are perfect liners for different occasions!
Pucker Up With These Bomb-Diggity Balms
Let’s face it—chapped lips are neither comfortable nor pretty. I don’t know about you but I’d rather sport a perky pout than a shriveled set of lips.
Do It Yourself Tuesdays: Lip Balm!
If you’re like me (and most other girls there), you have a TON of makeup. And you don’t use most of it. So here I am – to the rescue! – with a money-saving way to reuse your old lipsticks, eyeshadow and blush!
