Labor Day Madames, signals the end of all-white bashes, boat rides, Sunday brunches, and with it comes time to hit the books with the briskness of Autumn. That’s right kiddies, it’s back to school time. Excited? We understand the arrival of fall leaves much to be desired, but we have a ton of beauty buys to put a smile on your face. Allow us to divert your attention from the upset of an abrupt summer ending to the fall beauty forecast. Ahead are shorter days and blistering winds, which can do serious damage to skin and hair. As you head back to work or school be prepared with our favorite beauty picks to face the fall.
3. Lip Color – Red is the undisputed champ when it comes to color for Fall 2010. Smack some of this on your lips before you leave the house to catch the bus. M·A·C Pro Longwear Lustre Lipcolour ($21.00)
4. Wipes – As you adjust to your earlier schedule is gets harder and harder to maintain a thorough cleansing routine. That’s why we love these wipes because they are quick and easy compressing a 3 step system into one. Olay Daily Facials Deep Cleansing Cloths ($5.97)
5. Moisturizer – After your skin is all cleansed and refreshed, you’ll want to follow it up with a great moisturizer. We love Carol’s Daughter products but are absolutely head over heels with this face butter. Carol’s Daughter Face Butter ($11.50)
6. Body Wash – As we’ve reiterated before, soaps are a big no-no because they tend to dry out the skin. In the fall it’s imperative to maintain your skin’s moisture with a hydrating body wash. Caress Whipped Souffle Ultra Silkening Body Wash (3.97)
7. Body Lotion – To lock in that moisture, we suggest a skin pampering formula with shea butter and the hint of mint doesn’t hurt. Korres Mint Body Butter Duo ($29.00)
9. Fragrance – This time of year you only need a hint of fragrance to announced that you’re in the room. We love this scent from Stella McCartney because it manages to hit the right notes: Green Apple, Frosted Lemon, Bulgarian Rose, Celestial Rose, Rose Absolute, Iranian Organic Rose, Amber. Stella Sheer by Stella McCartney ($62.00)
10. Cleansing Hand Gel – At the end of the day it is fall, so you’ll need to have your armor on to avoid spreading or catching germs. In a warm vanilla sugar scent this pocket-sized bottle does the trick with powerful germ killers and a delicate vanilla steeped in delicious spices. Warm Vanilla Sugar Anti-Bacterial PocketBac Deep Cleansing Hand Gel ($1.50)
