Hot In The Hive: Sephora Brand Color-Dipped Brushes

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageIn the market for some new makeup brushes but just can’t seem to be able to tell all the costly, separately-functional tools apart from each other? The big fluffy one is probably for your face, got it. But this little bristly one… is that for your eyes? Eyeliner? Crease? Huh? I know, the realm of brushes can be complicated, but thankfully someone made things simpler and more multi-tasking friendly… not to mention cheerfully colorful! These Sephora Brand Color-Dipped Brushes aren’t just fun to look at — they’re actually color-coded based on their function. And since each brush is double-sided, that’s two functions in one. From the fluffy pink Complexion Brush (one side for powder and one for concealer) and the precise purple Smokey Eye Brush (eyeliner applicator and smudging tool) along with 3 others, you can more easily tell all of your meticulous brushes apart from each other, get more bang for your buck with their double ends, and have a way cuter brush collection than your friends!

Price: $18-35

Don’t You Dare Call These Tees Basic!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageWe love our basics, we really do… but we’d be lying if we said they were the most exciting things in our closets. Sure, that American Apparel v-neck goes with 18 other outfits (and that’s just the grey one) but honestly, it’s kind of boring on its own, right? Why not swap out those boring basics with tees that have just a little something extra? Tiny embellishments transform plain tees from reliable standbys to fashionable favorites in their own right, and they’re just as versatile as ever. Take this jersey tank from Casual Couture by Green Envelope- from the front, it’s a simple, well-cut top, but the back features an exposed zipper that will add a little edge to any outfit. The pearl tee from Sauce is a girly spin on everyone’s favorite slouchy pocket tee, and J. Crew’s jeweled tissue tee practically has a statement necklace built in and would look perfect paired with everything from scruffy boyfriend jeans to a polished skirt and blazer. See the slideshow for your new favorite basics!

Not So Baby Blue Make-Up Choices!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageThe fall transition is bittersweet. One the one hand, it’s time to take advantage of new fall clothing and makeup trends, and on the other hand, you’re giving up sweet, glorious summer! Transitional clothing is difficult — but the make up sure can be fun! I recommend going for some more electric blue in your eye and nail palette! The brights will give you just a little bit of lift, and the blow will definitely be softened when you switch to navy nail shades for true fall. I love the MakeUp Forever Glitters in Metallic Blue for a vampy, going out on the town look. Mixing the gorgeous Yves Saint Laurent Tresor d’Afrique palette for eyes will definitely soften the electric blue for daytime, but you’ll still have a kick. For the nails, you definitely can’t go wrong with OPI shades, especially Blue My Mind. Check out my slideshow for more ways to electrify your transition makeup!

Too Cool For School: Cute School Supplies

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageGoing back to school means you’re about to have your brain jogging at high speed: cute clothes, cute boys, and something you should definitely think about before heading back to school, cute school supplies. Get your hands on some of the coolest things to get you through the reading, writing and arithmetic of the school year. For those of us like Kathleen Kelly of “You’ve Got Mail” who love the smell of freshly sharpened pencils, back to school season has an air of excitement all its own beginning with the scavenger hunt-like school supply lists. Sure, you could fulfill the the teacher’s requirements with your older sister’s tattered, floppy folders, but the cuter option of getting the newest and trendiest takes on drab wooden rulers and plain silver scissors make the thought of nine months of homework seem bearable! Take a peek at some school supply suggestions that will make you smile through your academic agonies!

College Candy Presents 8 Under $20: Old Navy!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageFor many of you, school has already begun or will shortly, which means new additions to the wardrobe are necessary. Woohoo! But you don’t have to spend a lot to update that 2008 fall wardrobe. Old Navy is a great place to get cute basics at super reasonable prices. Just pair these items (many of which are on sale!) with the trendier items/accessories in your closet for a brand new look. Here are a few pieces I found that’ll be great for the upcoming months:

Jeans: Jeans are obviously a wardrobe staple in every college girl’s closet, but sometimes we need a little variety. I say that every gal needs a cute pair of khakis. You can wear them with a polo, a basic button down or a tee. I totally love the green of these ones. They’re a little different, but still totally neutral so you can wear them with just about anything!

Cute Tops: I’m really digging the cut and print of this shirt (though they also have it in solid colors if print’s not your thang). But what I really heart about this tank is that you can wear it on its own before it gets too cool and also rock it under a boyfriend blazer for those chillier days.

To see these great items and more at a great price, click on over to our friends at College Candy!
