Teen Beauty: FLIRT! Fall Fairytale Style Box.

If only life were more like a fairy tale and less like real life...

These last few weeks have been an adjustment. I started high school, and it's been tough. Going from a school with 800 students to one with over 2,500 is challenging to say the least. I am exposed to new people, new places, new routines, new languages (why am I taking Latin?) and, well, I could go on and on. But you get the point. I am also on the Volleyball team. I am pretty new to the sport, but I like it, though I am sore in places that I didn't even think there were muscles!

All in all, being in high school and on a sports team is taking up so much of my time, more so than what I would have thought. I have NO TIME to get pretty, so I am looking for time savers any which way I can. This new Style Box from FLIRT! is saving me time and helping me dream, if only for a few minutes, that I am living a fairytale life. Funny how it is called the Fall Fairytale Style Box for Eyes and Cheeks!

Can you believe just how pretty those colors are?

Gloss of the Day: CHANEL Glossimer Maline.

This lipgloss was from the CHANEL Spring 2010 collection. This beautiful sparkling gold has been another staple of mine this summer. It is almost a nude peach with gold shimmer, and appears pretty nude on the lips, just showing gold sparkle. When I want to tone down a lipstick or add some golden warmth to it, I grab for Maline.

Price: $27.00
Availability: CHANEL counters, CHANEL.com

I stayed up until midnight to watch Maureen Kelly, founder and CEO of Tarte Cosmetics, present her Today's Special Value on QVC. This collection is not only amazing, it is offered at an amazing price.

Maureen frequently visits the Amazon, and has based much of her line on the use of Amazonian clay.  Amazonian clay has been shown to help reduce dryness and flakiness, help remove surface oil and dead skin and also improve clarity and elasticity.
