You’ve seen the Say Yes To brand all over the place unless you’ve been living under a rock. They’ve got some awesome lotion and chapstick, and it’s all natural, organic, good-for-your-body stuff. I’ve used several products from Say Yes To Carrots and Say Yes To Tomatoes, but I had yet to try out Say Yes To Blueberries or Say Yes To Cucumbers. Well, I was lucky enough to be able to test some products out for you all. Trust me, you’ll be saying yes in no time.
I tried out the Say Yes To Cucumbers Eye Soothing Gel and Say Yes To Blueberries Eye Firming Treatment and Brightening Eye Roller, and I’m really happy with the results. Typically with eye treatments, I’m a little skeptical of drug store brands because they just don’t seem to do the trick. While these products aren’t going to do the same thing as a Clinique treatment or something high end, they will keep your peepers de-puffed and bright on a budget. These products are super wallet-friendly, smell great, and work. Check out my review below! Read More »
I love black eyeliner and white eye shadow, but I particularly love them together. I was on Pinterest the other day setting up my “CC Beauty Live Inspiration” board, follow me and CollegeCandy and you can pin stuff at us! I came across the photo above, which looked super easy and seemed like the perfect winter eye look. Winter tends to get people down, and we all act a little more sluggish and sleepy. I’m sure it has nothing to do with the immense intake of hot chocolate and sitting by the fire. Nope, not a bit. Anyway, this look is a really quick and easy way to brighten up your eyes. It’s great for day or night, so I wanted to show you all how to do it with a little addition on my end. Plus this is the perfect look since today is New Year’s Day, and you want something to make you look more awake and less hungover. Happy New Year!

A few weeks ago I talked about Eye Candy Coolers, small cooling pads that help decrease puffiness under your eyes. Well, this week I wanted to keep with the theme (because if there’s one thing we college ladies have in common it’s a serious lack of rest) and talk about how to conceal dark circles! A lot of you have been asking me about this, and it’s finally here! I personally don’t deal with this on a regular basis (I know, I’m blessed), but when I’m out too late or I’m studying until all hours of the night, I do end up looking much worse for the wear.
How, you ask? Just use concealer! But not just any concealer. Picking the right one is important, so I’m sharing what I use. I’ve also got a few tips on how to distract people from looking at your circles (even though they probably don’t notice ‘em anyway). So if you’re embarrassed by your raccoon eyes, this is the video is for you.
And if you are a chronic sufferer of dark circles, please leave your own tips below! Read More »
Between on-campus jobs, late nights at the library and even later nights at the bar, the college lifestyle can take a toll on our bodies. And, even worse, it can take a major toll on our under-eyes. I don’t know one college lady who hasn’t suffered from you-look-like-you-got-punched-in-the-eye syndrome at one point or another. And it ain’t pretty.
Fortunately, there’s a solution….and it doesn’t involve cold spoons (which can be too harsh for your peepers, not to mention make you look totally ridiculous when you’re lying on your bed with two spoons on your face). I tested out Eye Candy Coolers, small rounds that promise to reduce puffiness and give you a moment of relaxation, and I think you’ll love them!
[Disclaimer: I received this product to review and received no payment for a "good" review. This review is 100% my personal opinion based on my experience with the product.]

Ever look at pictures of Angelina Jolie or Megan Fox and get caught up in their sultry stares? I do! They are definitely gorgeous ladies and girl crush worthy, but most of that sexy stare down comes from their eyeliner. Yes, you know what that means: you too can channel these sex icons and land a man as fine as Brad Pitt! (Leave those Brian Austin Greens behind.)
Follow the steps in the video and you’ll have a hot look in no time! All you need is a little eyeliner and you’re good to go.
Sometimes daytime makeup can get boring. And sometimes daytime in general (like when you’re at a dull internship) can get really, really boring. And that is when it’s time to make a change (hello, Michael Jackson reference) and add a little more oomph to your look. But is it possible to go a little bolder on your eyes without crossing into “going out makeup” territory? Yes! It’s called the daytime smokey eye and I’m going to show you how it’s done.
You can do it with any colors you want, but I’m going with some beautiful neutral shades.
Before you watch, though, can we just talk about how it’s been a year since we started CC Beauty Live? I can’t either! This has been such a great experience and I want to give something back to you all for your loyal viewership. So watch the video (all the way to the end!) for my surprise!
Finally, it’s time for bright eye makeup to liven up your evenings! In the summer, it instantly becomes more acceptable to wear colors other than black or gray at night. I don’t know why, but so it is (OMG, too. much. Pretty Wild).
While seasons never stop me from wearing whatever makeup I please, it may stop some of you. So if you’ve yet to tackle the vibrant summer night eye, let me help. Bright eye makeup is one of my favorite things, and I hope after this video it will be one of yours too!
Even though I am a beauty guru of sorts (dishing out sage makeup wisdom) and own lots of high end beauty products, I still like to budget shop for drug store options. I am a cost conscious college girl, after all.
I’m not gonna lie – it’s easy to get swept away by brand names and pretty packaging (and pushy sales people) in department stores, but you don’t need to burn a hole in that wallet to get some good makeup. There are a lot of products in drug stores that do nearly the exact same thing as high end products, especially when it comes to mascara. In case no one told you before, you don’t have to use products from MAC or Sephora to look beautiful!
You lookin’ to enhance those lashes without spending all that hard earned (or begged-your-parents-for) money? Just watch:

If there’s one question I get asked (as the resident beauty expert in my group of friends) it’s, “What colors can I wear during the day?” I’ve heard this question A LOT and my answer is always the same:
Wear any color you want!
If you feel like wearing green, do it! Blue, do it (carefully – you don’t want to channel the 80s here)! Honestly, whatever color you want to use during the day, you can. As long as you do it right. And with my help, doing it right and looking good will be easy.
In this video, I’ve outlined some ways to incorporate color into your daytime makeup without looking like you’re going out (or coming home…..). I definitely encourage the use of fun colors to spice up your look, so don’t be afraid to try it! Read More »
New Year’s is almost here and after many nights with a classic smokey eye, I thought it might be nice to change it up. After all, the new year is all about change, right? So I came up with this subtle gold smokey look that will still draw attention to your eyes without the fuss of all that black eyeshadow.
It’s pretty quick, too! This look only takes about 8 minutes and uses just 3 colors (that you probably already own). That means you can spend less time and money on your face and more time and money where it belongs: at the preparty.
