CC Beauty Live: Quick & Dirty Lashes
If there’s one thing you should put on before leaving the house, it’s mascara. A few layers can instantly make you look more awake and ready to go. And mascara paired with a fierce lipstick is even better! Seriously though, lashes are a prominent part of your face. They frame your eyeballs, which hopefully is where people are looking.
CC Beauty Live: Braided Half Updo
As you all know, I love braids. I’ll put them into any hairstyle I can, and this look has been my go-to for summer parties. It’s super easy and looks great whether your hair is straight, curly, wavy…whatever!
CC Beauty Live: Self Tanner Basics
Everyone is expected to be tan in the summer, yeah? And while you know all about the dangers of tanning, people still do it. That will never change. I love being outside, and there’s nothing like a tan from natural sunlight. But like always, you have to use protection (see what I did there?).
CC Beauty Live: Beat The Heat Makeup Edition
I’m outside for at least six hours a day working summer lacrosse camps in the sweltering Atlanta heat, so trust me when I say that wearing makeup is not my first priority. But it’s my job to test products and figure things out for you fine viewers. This week I’ve tried a combination of things to make sure what I put on was lasting all day.
CC Beauty Live: Quick & Dirty Review-Sally Hansen Salon Effects
Oh manicures, we love you. But why do you smudge when I’m reaching for my keys in my bag? Or chip after I clean my dishes in the sink? I think we need to talk.

CC Beauty Live: The Proper Way To Wash Your Face
I want to start off by saying there are tons and tons of ways to care for your skin. What works for one person may not work for someone else. I’ve spent years perfecting my skin care routine and completely personalizing it to me. Find what works specifically for you and you alone. That being said, there are still rules that should be followed no matter what products you’re using.
Smokin’ Hot Summer Makeup Tips
The sun? Blazing. Burgers? On the grill. Beer? In the cooler. But your face is melting faster than a snow cone on Pismo Beach.
CC Beauty Live: Ombre On Your Own
You know those fancy hair trends that have you all, “OMG, I could never pull that off!” Well, I have a secret. You can pull that off. And you can pull that off at home! Shocking, I know. This ombre hair trend has been sweeping the fashion and beauty blogosphere. I mean, it’s everywhere! Rachel Bilson, Drew Barrymore (before she went red), Alexa Chung, Whitney Port, the list is never-ending.

CC Beauty Live: Grease Isn’t The Word
Greasy or oily hair is an absolute pain and if it’s something you struggle with, you are not alone. I have a lot of friends that ask me what they can do to avoid oily hair, and one very tress-stressed reader begged for help as well. This is a topic plaguing a lot of young women (and dudes!), but don’t worry – you can fix it!

CC Beauty Live: Feel Sick, Don’t Look It
It’s 8am and you stumble into your bathroom only to look in the mirror, horrified at how sick you look! You can’t miss any more classes (damn you hangovers for making me take an absence when now I really need it), but you also can’t show your face in public looking like this.
CC Beauty Live: Spring Break Tips
It’s time to start preparing your beauty arsenal for SB 2010. And there’s a lot to think about. You want to make sure not to bring too much (you don’t want to be “that girl” with a whole separate duffel bag for her beauty supplies), but you also want to bring your cheaper products in case Boozy Suzy turns into a kleptomaniac.
From CollegeFashion: Bright, Awake Looking Eyes
I am not a morning person. Never have been, never will be. And it shows on my face in the form of dark circles and tired eyes. Even though I always want to crawl back into my comfy bed and get more rest, I know that with a touch of the right makeup I can instantly fix that problem.
