Whether it's organizing the beauty products you currently have or searching for new products to redo your regimen, the changing of seasons is a great time to give your beauty routine an overhaul.

So, what should you consider to upgrade your fall beauty looks? Check out my fall beauty guide...


Try a new nail polish color - I’m all about trying something new, especially when the seasons change. Many of us transition into darker nail polish colors for the fall, and for us busy women Sally Hansen’s Complete Salon Manicure is perfect because you get 5 steps all in one: Base Coat, Strengthener, Growth Treatment, Color and Top Coat. What’s I love about this nail polish is that it lasts more than a couple days, unlike many polishes I use.

Lately I’ve been into different nail art, so recreated my version of this geometric manicure using Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Boca Mocha and Simply Divine, plus Maybelline’s Express Finish nail polish in Beige Glace.

Eye Makeup Remover - During the fall I tend to wear more makeup than the spring and summer seasons, so a good eye makeup remover is a must-have. I like Paula’s Choice Gentle Touch makeup remover because it removes waterproof mascara very easily and it doesn’t irritate my eyes.

Simply Vera - Sometimes you just need to get rid of that old makeup that’s been sitting there accumulating bacteria and other nastiness. I highly recommend checking out Vera Wang’s new line of cosmetics, Simply Vera (available at Kohl’s), which is perfect for those of you who like a natural look. I love everything from this line - especially the illuminating pressed powder (#303) and illuminating powder blush (#316). The powder is more like a powder/bronzer for me, and offers pretty good coverage with a little shimmer.

Vitamin C Moisturizer - The skin on your face tends to get dry when the weather cools down, so this is the time to stock up on moisturizer. Vitamin C helps with collagen production, which brightens and softens the skin. The Vitamin C moisturizer by Made from Earth has a very creamy texture which glides very easily on the skin. If you have oily skin like me, then you should only use it a few times a week. If you have normal or dry skin you can use it every day.

Maijan Moroccan Organic Argan Oil - Of all the beauty products, this would be my must-have for fall. You can use it for your hair, scalp, and anywhere on your body that needs a little TLC. It’s infused with Omega-6, antioxidants, and Vitamin E, plus it penetrates the skin quickly. I like to use it on my feet to keep them soft and prevent dry, cracked heels.

Shielo Moisturizing Shampoo & Vibrancy Conditioner - Once again, it’s all about hydration for the fall, and Shielo delivers just that with these products. It’s good to change up your hair products every once in awhile to liven up your hair. I love that Shielo’s Hydrate line is sulfate-free, contains organic extracts, and leaves my hair silky soft. I still have yet to see any split ends while using this shampoo and conditioner.

I'm definitely looking forward to fall and creating new beauty looks. What about you?
