CC Beauty Live: Winter Tips

Caitlin-University of Alabama — Sun, 05 Dec 2010 15:00:16 +0000

Unless you’re dealing with the Southern weather that doesn’t really want to get cold until January, you’re probably freezing your beauty loving tush off right now! While it’s getting chilly down here in the Dirty South (like 65, maybe) it’s not as cold as the rest of the country, but I’m still already noticing that typical winter dryness. Winter can be harsh on your skin, hair, and lips. And even though I’m not chillin’ (ha!) in zero degree weather, I still experience what I like to call Winter Dryness Syndrome.

WDS can be a blessing for us folks with oily skin, but it can still dry you out too much. And if you have dry skin already, you’ll probably start flaking. But that’s nothing compared to those delicate lips. WDS wreaks havoc on your kisser and unless you know what to do, your lips will get chapped and no one will want to kiss you under that conveniently placed mistletoe over your front door.

But don’t worry; I’ve got you covered with some winter tips to keep you glowing this season!

CC Beauty Live: I’m Most Thankful For…

The holiday season always gets us thinking about what we’re thankful for. There are so many things in my life to appreciate (my education, my family, the entire Bravo lineup), but being the makeup addict that I am, I am particularly thankful for a few key beauty products. These five things have really changed my life and I want to share them all with you.

Who knows, maybe a year from now, when you’re going around the Thanksgiving table and saying what you’re thankful for, you’ll think back to the day I introduced you to these gems…

What products are you thankful for? Share below!

As always, if you’ve got something you want me to cover, post it in the comments below. And don’t forget to check out my other videos right here!

CC Beauty Live: Kiss This

I know it’s cold and dry where most of you are living, and your lips and skin are probably suffering just like mine. Well, I have something that can save your lips from the arctic tundra outside your door and make them just as kissable as they were when it was nice and toasty out! Move over, Aquaphor; there’s a new balm in town.

I’m sure you’ve seen this stuff on the store shelves and wondered if it was worth the money. Trust me – it is. And with the wide variety of these babies, you’ll definitely find one that will be the perfect addition to your beauty regimen this winter.

CC Beauty Live: Be Prepared

When I was growing up, my dad always told me, “Caitlin, be prepared.”

I’m pretty sure he was referring to things like school work and job interviews, but I took that advice to heart….with beauty supplies.

Thanks to my dad I never leave the house without my big bag of beauty essentials. You never know what could happen on your way to class – blisters from your shoes, a sudden monsoon, laughing so hard you cry off all your mascara – so it’s best to bring along a few things to save you from a makeup meltdown. I’ll share with you all of my must-brings that have gotten me through all of my beauty emergencies and then you can customize your portable beauty bag to hold whatever you like (yeah, stacks on deck, Patron on ice…).
