As the busy fall schedule has you zipping from class to class, appointment to appointment, or meeting to meeting, always be touch-up ready with Sugar Cosmetics and their too cool Beauty School Bronzing Kit.

Inside the three ring binder zip pouch, which is so handy, is a mini tropic Tan Bronzer, to keep up your better glow (faux, I hope!); a mini Sugar Fix Concealer Compact to disguise all the signs of sleepiness; along with a beautiful nudish pearl lip gloss that can even clip to your cell phone. And of course, a handy bronzer mini kabuki brush is included as well.

Readily available at Bath & Body Works stores (and online, of course) Slatkin & Co. has created this handy dandy clip and go portable fragrance disc. No plug, batteries or dangerous flames, these scented discs surround small spaces in refreshing, beautiful scents.

Building on the eyes and continuing on with the rest of the face, Tarte put together the most beautiful Fall look that I just have to share.

On the face:
clean slate face primer
smooth operator oil-free foundation SPF20
the eraser smooth concealer
provocateur pressed mineral powder SPF8
berrylicious natural cheek stain from berry couture natural stain set

On the lips:
paradise lipstick from lip couture t5 superfruit infused lipstick set

On the eyes:
eye couture day to night palette using the following -
- start with the shimmery pale pink and apply from lash line up to the crease
- blend the gold-tinged purple right into the crease and blend
- gently sweep the silver sheen shade all over the brow bone
- line both the upper and lower lash line with the charcoal eyeliner
- use the shimmery deep gray and go over the upper lash line to blend and smoke it up a bit
- blend the lower lash line with a bit more of the gold-tinged purple shade

Beautiful!

Check out all of these gorgeous products to create your own Fall look at Tarte Cosmetics or Sephora.com.

Bling Bling from Hard Candy is obviously on a clear out at Sephora as each pot is being sold for just $8 - half off of their original price. Look at how totally cute and handy this beauty is. 

You see these little these stacking pots each contain not only a glitter - pure glitter for the ultimate sparkle, but two specially formulated "magnetic" bases. Each pot has a nude color so all you see is the glitter color when applied, and a black shade, to create a gorgeous glittery smoky eye look. These bases work. Apply the base and softly pat on the glitter with your finger - voila. Beautiful. And COOL!

Select from Amethyst, Canary - so love this one, Diamond - my daughters fave, Emerald and Ruby. Get them while they last.

My latest bronzer fave is this must have from Guerlain, called Terracotta Blush & Sun. I can wear this beauty on it's own, or layered over a darker bronzer for the ultimate glow.

Can you get over that brush? I can't!

Terracotta Blush & Sun comes in three perfect, very wearable shades: Sun Light, a golden peach; Sun Kissed, for more of a rosey tan look; and finally Sun Tan, a golden bronze.

Many of the at-home recipes I found were for facial masks made with Milk. Well, that is an ingredient I certainly always have in the fridge, so I decided a Milk Mask was the way to go. You see milk contains proteins, sugar, a whole bunch of vitamins and natural lactic acid. This naturally helps in cell rejuvenation - as in helping the skin cells turn over faster. The nourishing benefits also rehydrate and help ward off dehydration to start with. 

I made my Milk Mask with the following: 1/4 Cup of Granulated Sugar, 1/4 Cup of Brown Sugar, 1 Tablespoon of Honey, and enough Milk - I used whole milk, to make it into a paste. I used just a bit shy of 4 Tablespoons. After mixing the paste, I applied the mask with my fingers all over my face, and let it sit for about 30 minutes. After the 30 minutes, I ran a wash cloth under very warm water and placed it over my face for a few minutes and let the heat help nourish the milk and other wonders into my skin  before wiping it off. My face felt so soft and hydrated. So much so that I didn't use moisturizer right after. I actually slept with a clean face. And it still felt wonderful in the morning.

The colors are so perfect for Summer to Fall transition.  In this collection are the following: a Black Mascara, Multiple Rush in Love Rush, two Lipsticks in Charity and Daisy, a Lip/Cheek It Kit in Peachy Keen, a Eye It Kit in Love & Money, a Lip/Cheek It Kit in Sugar 'N Spice, Portable Paints Bronzed in Tawny and Sandy, my favorite Lip Polishes, there are three of them in Iced Coffee, Groovy Fruit, and Revel, and finally, my new must-have glam eye product, which is a Eye Shadow/Liner pencil in Midnight Sparkle.

This beautiful eye pencil is perfect to smoke up a dark black liner and add that glam sparkle to the eye. It is also simple to lightly swipe over the eyelid for a gorgeous gray glow.

The hardest thing I discover about getting back to the going back to school routine is the mornings. No matter how early we get up or how prepared I think I am, we are always rushing and pressed for time.

One of the easiest ways to shave off some time in the morning routine is by lightening up your makeup routine. One of the smartest things to invest in is a makeup palette with products for eyes, cheeks, and lips in one place.  Using a palette or kit will not only simplify your makeup application, it will cut down on the time you spend fishing through your makeup bag to find the perfect products to go with your daily look. 

There are a lot of great palettes out there, but my heart belongs to just a few. While I am just recommending those here, you would be smart to look for your own favorite to help get your look and day off to a great start.

Not only do I use this more than any other, I think it might be the most written up single product here on Beautiful Makeup Search. Look at all the times I crushed on Purity in the past:

My Best of 2006.

My Favorite Things - 2007.
Philosophy's Purity Now in Foam!

When I wrote about Purity in it's newest form a foam, I had not use it yet. But I am using it now and am addicted. I was not sure how I would like it as I love the way the light lotion of the original Purity feels, but this one is almost more moisturizing, if you can believe that.

You can really get away with two pumps to totally cleanse, but I love the feel of the rich foam and usually pump the pump four or five times for a whole lot of product. It is light and rich a the same time. Makeup, oil and dirt is removed while making my face feel less dry. Like I said, the moisturization felt is surprising.
