My trip to pre-book my Nordstrom Anniversary Beauty Exclusives (can’t believe I left with the new Dior fragrance only WTH!) wasn’t a complete bust!

I ended up hauling some goodies from the new Laura Mercier Canyon Collection which proved as stunning in person as they did in their promo pictures.

The colors are very autumn and you’ll be delighted with them if you love rich berries, glow-y sunsets, and lush, warm shades of brown and green. As I played and swatched it I couldn’t help but yearn for a palette as Laura choose to release single shades of shadows with this collection.

Let’s take a look!

Is it October yet?

Because I seriously need to get back down with The Walking Dead. ZOMBIES!

But bad news, Lauren Cohan will be in Season 2. Dude, that girl is everywhere. Supernatural, CIS: NY, Vampire Dairies, Chuck (the list goes on!) …she’s infiltrated all my favorite shows and she starting to annoy me. Stop it!

Speaking of zombies, naked lips…so damn hard to pull off without looking zombified. Granted, I don’t mind lookin’ like a Zombie. I said it before, I’ll say it again, Zombies are people too!

But I just can’t do the naked lip so well…My go to naked lip look is courtesy of Korres Cherry Full Color Gloss in Nude 33 who proved to me I could do nude.

And now I have Fusion Beauty LipFusion Tinted Lip Conditioning Stick who proves again I can go nude!

Lancome mascaras are a hit or miss for me sometimes but Hypnose Doll Lashes sounds interesting. I find it intriguing that I just saw an interview recently with Emma Watson where she was quoted as saying she really likes “the Twiggy look” right now and that’s exactly what this promo image is all about. Kismet? Or completely rehearsed? Either way Emma is rockin’ the Twiggy look hard particularly after she appeared on the Today sporting an amazing mod frock with full collar a la Mia Farrow Rosemary’s Baby! What an amazingly beautiful young lady she’s become!

Lancome Hypnose Doll Lashes joins the Lancome mascara family this Fall.

Twiggy lashes shall me yours!

Caudalie has a few new fragrances available at the moment and feel free to correct me one that’s been repackaged.

Caudalie Fler de Vigne Fresh Energizing Fragrance has been around for a little bit I believe and escaped my notice but it takes a prominent role among the newest fragrance creations from the brand.

Repackaged in a a flattering slimline bottle with Caudalie’s grape emblem embedded on the bottle this shouts freshness without ever having to smell the fragrance inside! Founder and creator of Caudalie, Mathilde Thomas, was inspired to create these fragrances to capture the feeling of walking through her family’s vineyard during the dawn, noon, and dusk moments of her day!

For me Caudalie Fler de Vigne Fresh Energizing is a fresh start that celebrates dawn with a burst of sunshine, rain, and the uplifting, energized feeling of a a new day ahead!

Back to School, my favorite time of the year.

I’m long done with school but I totally pursue the aisles at my favorite stores for school supplies, new beauty, book bags, and totes…I have a slight office/school supply addiction so when July rolls around and Staples, Target, and The Container Store start ushering out Back to School goodies I’m so in like Flynn.

E.L.F. Cosmetics has a new exclusive Target Collection that you might want to check out. It includes these cute Candied Lip Balms!

Check ’em!
