Makeup Clean Out

We all love makeup. There's nothing quite as fun as buying a new lipstick, or getting a new sample of mascara, but how many times have you gotten something and find that you haven't actually worn it more than once?

Always make sure you're using makeup that isn't expired, or be sure to buy new products before their supposed to expire.

Here is the basic time frame for how long products should be used:

Mascara: 3 Months - I think this is one of the big ones you really have to pay attention to. Since this product goes directly near your eyes, you want to make sure you keep a close tab on how long you've had it. I think the best way to do this is by buying one at the beginning of the year so you know when you need a new one.

Liquid Eyeliner: 3-6 Months - Same idea as Mascara

Foundation: 6-8 Months - You don't want to apply something to your face that has a bad smell, or even worse if the colour has changed.

Concealer: 1 Year - Same idea as Foundation

Eyeshadow, Blush, Bronzer: 2-3 Years - Of course if you use certain shades more than others, you'll be replacing sooner.

Lip Gloss: 1 Year - It might not seem like it, but lip glosses can go bad. In terms of smell, and consistency or colour of the product.

Lip Stick: 1 Year - Same as above.

Nail Polish: 1 year, or when it starts to get thick. Even though thinners do work, sometimes it they just don't help.

If you use some product every day, or on a regular basis, chances are you're buying new ones often enough to re-stock up on what you need.

Camel Coat

Even though it's getting colder out, and you have to hide that stylish outfit, it shouldn't mean that your coat can't look good. One trend that I'm loving this year, is the Camel Coat. It's a simple piece to wear that goes with every outfit. Whether you're dressing up, or down this season, you'll stay warm and look good.

Sweater Dress

Sweater Dresses are a great fall piece that can be easily transitioned into other seasons.

Remember it's fall, and it's chilly out. Keep the hemline long and below the knees. You can always add a great leather jacket, denim jacket or long coat.

Sneakers, and ankle boots are a great shoe that keep it both casual yet stylish.

Long sleeves are a must have.

Sephora Mud Mask

I've been looking for a good face mask for a while, and after some searching I discovered Sephora Collection Mud Mask and it works so well. My skin feels fresh, and clean afterwards.

Once you've removed all your makeup and washed your face, pat dry and apply a thin layer. It will go on in a dark grey colour, and dry within 5 minutes to a soft shade of green and harden slightly, then wash off. Use twice a week.

Fun fact...I had to go to 3 different locations because the first 2 were sold out!! Online as well!!
