We all have that one friend that loves watching hair and makeup tutorials on YouTube. She might follow the methods of Michelle Phan, or she might be the one making the videos with her own blog. With so many videos to make, or watching videos and practicing, a girl can run out of makeup and hair supplies fast! In honor of the Beauty Blogging girl, we’ve put together a gift guide made especially for her to help find the perfect gift for this friend.

When in doubt of your makeup, go for color on your lips to either brighten up your face or divert people’s eyes to one part of your face. Putting on a bold color or texture to your lips could also be the perfect touch to a simple and neutral face palette.
The season of bright colors may be slowly coming to an end, but this doesn’t mean you don’t have to stop having fun with color. To make fall shopping easier for you, we’ve already tried out a few lip color from Mac and Nyx cosmetics so you’ll know exactly what to buy the next time you step inside a makeup store.

I recently had the opportunity to meet the creator of this beauty line, Richard Anderson. When I met him, he explained all the products that he’s created as well as how to apply them. The great thing about all these products is that there are no brushes or sponges needed. Another great thing, they are all easy to apply on the go and travel friendly.
I was able to review a few of the Per-fékt products. Here’s some info on some of the products, provided by Per-fékt.
Los Angeles-based Korean American Minna Ha has made a name for herself in the makeup industry by founding UNII Cosmetics. Taking a hands-on approach in the development of her line, she has created an “innovative, re-usable and chic” makeup palette that has been featured in publications such as Marie Claire and Real Simple. Read our Q&A with Minna to find out more about her and to read our review of the UNII palette!

Drinking water and staying hydrated are the most important things you could do for your skin and body – especially when the days are hotter and sunnier. This is why my Ello water bottle in dark gray is one of my 5 favorite things this summer. Not only does it help my skin and body, as the 20 oz. bottle forces me to drink at least that much each day, but it also helps the environment. The other cool thing about this bottle is, besides that it only costs $10, that it’s BPA free!

In addition to staying hydrated, moisturizing is also important for your skin. The drastic change in the weather can do all kinds of crazy things to your body. I like to moisturize with Gold Bond Ultimate’s Silk Softness Sheer Ribbons body lotion in “touchably soft skin.” After sampling one pump of this lotion at a local Walgreens, this is the only lotion I’ll buy. It truly leaves your skin feeling silky smooth – plus it smells great.
