The leaves and your wardrobe are beginning to change, and that means your makeup should, too!  While there are a lot of ways you can amp up your makeup style for each season, I’ve got a few crucial changes you should make when going from summer to fall.

These aren’t big changes, but they’re important! Just like fashion, makeup has seasonal rules and in this week’s video, I’m gonna clue you in on all of them.

It’s been one hell of a week. Literally.

The mixture of heat and humidity outside is paralleled only in Satan’s world, and the frizz ball that is my head makes me think someone upstairs is very, very upset with me.  But, besides all that, I guess the week wasn’t too bad as we wrapped up July, CollegeCandy style.

Our party on Wednesday was nothing short of amazing, except that whole “waking up and going to work the next morning” thing.  (If you missed it, you can get jealous and pretend you were there by checkin out some hot pics here!)

We got some great shopping tips, like how to dress yourself thin (without the Spanx!) and how to get cute stuff without spending too much money. And, most important, how to shop for sex toys. Between a new wardrobe, the smoking hot fall makeup trends, and adding that 6 minute workout into your day (while listening to the awesome playlist, of course) you’ll be making a kick-ass impression and be sure to have all the frat boys drooling come Welcome Week.

TV always manages to surprise us and this week was no exception. Behind the scenes with Paris Hilton? A dating show for “real” people? The premier of The Real Housewives of Atlanta? It was like one big train wreck and I couldn’t stop watching. Those people made me feel a whole lot better about myself, even if I have a few…er…interesting secrets. (I may or may not be typing this very post from my bathroom….)

But it’s all over now and I’m resting comfortably on this (hot as balls) Friday afternoon.

Have a great weekend, ladies. Just be sure to pull up your pants, pull down your shirt, and wear a freakin bra!  Oh, and don’t be a third wheel, Not cool.

Usually I hate when things happen ahead of season, like when Halloween stuff starts popping up in August, or when Christmas decorations are everywhere in September.  In general it is just plain wrong.  I don’t need a blow up outdoor Santa snow globe before Halloween has even passed.  Actually, I don’t need one of those at all.  Ever.

However, there’s one thing that I don’t mind arriving a wee bit early, and that’s next season’s makeup trends (or any fashion for that matter); it’s never too early to look into/play around with the new fall colors.

Now’s the time to get your makeup bag ready for fall and I’m here to help. You should be glad I’m not actually there with you, because I’d be trying on every lip gloss you got and curling my eyelashes instead of really helping. But I digress. I’ll tell you what to keep, what to toss, and what to buy for Back To School season.

You don’t have to do it right now (obviously), but just keep your eye out for the colors of fall and prepare yourself to part with the makeup of the summer. Read More »
