Falling Into Autumn: A Seasonal Guide To Pampering Yourself With Fall Shopping

Fall into the season with our curated shopping guide. From cozy sweaters to stylish boots and skincare, Barbie's Beauty Bits has got everything you need to update your wardrobe for fall.

Introduction 

As the leaves change color and the air turns crisp, there's no better time to embrace the cozy comforts of fall and pamper yourself with a little seasonal shopping spree. From skincare and shoes to clothes and a spa day, we've got your autumn indulgences covered. And what's more, we're topping it off with a luxurious day at the spa. So, grab your pumpkin spice latte and let's dive into the ultimate guide for pampering yourself this fall!

Rejuvenate With Some Fall Skincare

Fall's transition brings cooler, drier weather, which can affect your skin.  So, what better time to revamp your beauty routine. Invest in rich moisturizers, hydrating serums, and nourishing face masks to keep your complexion glowing. Don't forget a high-quality sunscreen to protect your skin from the lingering UV rays. Pamper yourself with self-care routines that include a gentle facial massage, exfoliation, and perhaps a spa-quality sheet mask.

Step Into Comfort With Some Fall Shoes 

Bid farewell to flip-flops and usher in the season with stylish yet comfortable footwear. Ankle boots are a fall favorite, offering both fashion and warmth. Opt for waterproof options to stay cozy on rainy days. Loafers, mules, pumps, and cozy slippers also make great additions to your fall shoe collection, ensuring your feet stay pampered and comfortable.

Elevate Your Wardrobe With Autumn Attire 

The fall fashion scene is all about layering and embracing rich, earthy tones. Shop for cozy sweaters, cardigans, and scarves to wrap yourself in warmth and style. Don't forget to pick up a few essentials like denim jeans, corduroy pants, and a versatile trench coat. Knit dresses and oversized blazers are trendy options for those looking to stay fashionable this season. And last but not least a comfortable bra to wear under those wool sweaters!

Layer On The Accessories This Fall

Autumn is all about accessorizing with flair. Wrap yourself in a stylish blanket scarf, don some statement earrings, and invest in a classic leather handbag. Hats, such as beanies and fedoras, not only complete your look but also keep you warm and cozy.

Pamper Yourself This Fall With A Beauty Box

Pamper yourself this fall with a beauty box, and there are two standout favorites that will elevate your self-care game. First up is Ipsy, a beauty subscription that caters to all your beauty needs.

Indulge In A Spa Day

After a day of shopping and self-pampering, there's no greater way to unwind than with a spa day. Start by booking a soothing massage to melt away any tension or stress that may have accumulated in your life. Follow it up with a personalized facial to address your unique skin needs, and indulge in a rejuvenating body scrub for skin that feels refreshed and renewed.

Rarely does anyone have just one skin concern. Usually, we’re trying to address a few while ensuring our skin stays wholly balanced at the same time and avoiding the ouch burn from mixing the wrong skincare products. The trick is to find the right serums (preferably one suitable for all skin types, even sensitive) that work best together to do precisely that, and ItCosmetics is doing just that with their Bye, Bye Serums.

The last year and a half it’s been all about the eyes. Preventing and treating under-eye issues has been on the rise. That's right; our eyes are taking center stage, but are your eyes ready to be the center of attention?
 
Mask wearings and the Zoom meetings forced many to look at themselves with unfavorable lighting and awkward angles, noticing some features that make you look older than you are, like puffy eyes.
 
And Dr. Brandt No More Baggage Eye De-Puffing Gel is here to the rescue.

Within minutes you will notice a tightening effect as it smooths the under-eye contour to visually minimize the appearance of under-eye bags and dark circles for an immediately brighter, well-rested look. And the best part no needles!

BONUS: This product is a DEAL OF THE DAY, for Friday, October 15th. Shop Now!

Best Fall Eye Makeup From Macy's
Not that I've bagged those under-eye issues. I'm ready to rock my next Zoom call, which means a volumizing mascara and eyeshadow palette to fit the fall season.

Too Faced Teddy Bare It All Eye Shadow Palette
Cuddle up with these warm, luxurious fall eyeshadow colors from Too Faced. I am such a pink and rose gold person, and this palette offers many gorgeous colors.

Fourteen shades perfect for fall to create that high-impact Paw-sistively gorgeous eye look to that Bare-ly there for a more natural look. And a bonus, this Too Faced eyeshadow palette smells like honey graham crackers. Too bad there isn't a scratch and sniff on our computer screen.

Must-Have Hair Product For Fall Found At Macy's
Many people do not know that dry shampoo provides some amazing volume for the hair. To give my hair that extra volume boost and to have my curls and blowout last longer, I turn to my all-time favorite dry shampoo Klorane. This product formulated with organically harvested oat milk offers an ultra-gentle yet powerful cleansing action to rid hair of excess dirt, oil, and odor, with no white residue. 

This 3- piece set is the bomb as it provides options and is perfect for travels over the holiday. And if you are a newbie to the brand, you can see which Dry Shampoo formula is best for you. 

• Dry Shampoo With Oat Milk helps to soothe and protect with ultra-gentle Oat Milk.
• Dry Shampoo With Nettle Extract is fantastic for controlling excess oil in just 25 seconds.
• Detoxify the scalp and refresh hair with Aquatic Mint. This one removes impurities from the scalp while absorbing sweat and oil; menthol, camphor, and essential oils provide an instant, fresh, cooling sensation.
  

IMPORTANT: There has been some controversy over dry shampoos. This is because many are not using them correctly. The rule of thumb should be that you use dry shampoo on the day before you plan to shampoo your hair. This will prevent product build-up and hair loss. Personally, I prefer to use them on the day I shampoo my hair as it helps give my hair volume and helps prevent oil instead of using it after when your hair is already dirty.  

Macy's 10 Days Of Glam Event Reminder And Giveaway Bonus
As mentioned above, every day for 10 days, Macy's will announce their 50% off daily beauty offers. Plus, there will be other great offers online and in-store 10/15-10/24.

And beauties, I have another offer just for you, Macy's Glam Giveaway, with a chance to win one of five $100 e-gift card prizes to spend at Macy’s.

Tips To Healthy, Salon Like Nails This Fall

It’s Time To Fall In Love With ITcosmetics

I so love fall, it by far is my favorite season! Not only is it gorgeous with the leaves changing colors, but the boots, pumpkin lattes and trendy hats making this season FALLtastic.  What isn’t so FALLtastic, is what the fall air can do to our skin.  Hence with the change of the season also comes the change in our skincare and even some of our makeup.

And that is why I was so excited to partner up with ITcosmetics to bring you not only some fantastic skincare products but also some makeup.  So grab your pumpkin spice latte, sit back and relax as each week throughout the month of October I will sharing with you some products from Itcosmetics.

Now before I get into the products, if you are not familiar with ITcosmetics, I will share with you a bit about the company, so you to can “Discover IT, Love IT, and Believe IT.”

About ITcosmetics
Itcosmetics works with plastic surgeons to develop beauty products that are clinically proven, innovative, problem-solving products that harness cutting-edge, anti-aging technologies and skin-loving ingredients to help you to be you! Whether you have rosacea, oily, dry or combination skin, their skincare along with their makeup can help you to achieve as they say "The most beautiful you."

To kick this series off, I am going to share with you IT’s two newest products. Secret Sauce™ which is an advanced Anti-Aging Moisturizer that instantly hydrates and transforms your skin. And Miracle Water, which is a 3 in 1 Tonic that transforms your complexion and maximizes the results of your skincare routine, which is such a must, especially during these cooler months!

Miracle Water™ 3-in-1 Glow Tonic
Our skin is exposed to tons of environmental aggressors that are continually assaulting our skin. Factors, like pollution, dirt, oil, debris and even makeup can settle into our pores, dulling our skin's radiance and blocking our serums and creams from absorbing correctly. Hence, having a product like ITcosmetics Miracle water is a fall skincare savior. This lightweight no-rinse Micellar cleanser helps to balance the complexion and boost the look of radiance. Plus, it helps rid your skin of those pore-clogging impurities.

This tonic is also infused with their Secret Sauce™ Fermented Complex, a clinically advanced combination of penetration-enhancing fermented ingredients that work to increase absorbency and maximize the efficacy of your moisturizers and serums!

What makes this a 3 in 1 formula?  Well simply put it delivers 3 products in one…

• Skin-brightening radiance booster
• Anti-aging treatment essence
• Skin-softening micellar cleanser

Secret Sauce™
This paraben free anti-aging moisturizer is excellent for all skin types. The secret is the seven key fermented ingredients that help to hydrate and transform your skin over time.

• Fermented Sugarcane and Fermented Rice work to plump the look of skin, helping to improve bounce and elasticity.
• Fermented Coconut Water is rich in minerals and amino acids to help provide antimicrobial benefits.
• Fermented Sea Kelp, fermented Green and Black Tea, Fermented White Ginseng and Fermented Pumpkin intensely moisturize, delivering powerful antioxidants and concentrated nutrients to your skin.

This Secret Sauce™ is also infused with anti-aging collagen, peptides and hyaluronic acid, vitamin C and licorice root.  This to me is so amazing as amino acids and collagen go hand in hand, as one of the most important proteins is our collagen. Collagen is what gives the skin its thickness and firmness. Unfortunately, the collagen breaks down in the skin, whether from aging or those darn environmental factors I mentioned earlier along with sun and stress, and with these, wrinkles and sagging can start.  However, incorporating a product like the IT’s Secret Sauce into your skincare routine, can not only help with the formation of new collagen but can also give us the appearance of a more youthful complexion!

So there you have it beauties, two great anti-aging products. But as with all anti-aging products, these two are not the only products you need to help your skin to look healthy and radiant this fall. So make sure to stay tuned as I discuss some other Itcosmetic products to help you look and feel your most BEAUTYful!

Top 10 Fabulous Fall Beauty Tips

Fall is right around the corner and with the change of season also comes time to change up your beauty routine.  And I'm here today to share with you my Top 10 Fabulous Fall Beauty Tips you will "FALL" for!

Makeup

Bold Lips:  To make your lips more appropriate for fall, trying swapping out some of those corals and other bright colors for some deep reds and burgundy. Matte lippies are also perfect for fall. When it comes to lip treatment, you want to make sure you are moisturizing your lips to prevent dry, crack lips as the last thing you want to do is to apply a matte lipstick to dry, chapped lips.

Bronze, Glow, And Blush: Move from over the sun-kissed cheekbone look to under for a more contoured look.  You can achieve this with some great palettes. Sephora has tons of contour palettes, you're bound to find one you like! 

Fall Eye Makeup: Always be selective with the cosmetic brands you use for your eye makeup and check the ingredients list if provided. This is because poor quality eye makeup may contain ingredients that can cause eye issues such as soreness, dryness and other irritations. If you are sensitive to eye makeup or have other existing vision issues, speak to an optometrist and if required, you can look for eyeglasses online. 

Face: You want to make sure that you are moisturized so implementing a BB or CC crème like ItCosmetic CC Illumination is great as they are ideal for hydrating the skin as well as evening out your skin tone. These creams also contain antioxidants, SPF and other key ingredients that are designed to improve the look of your skin's health. You may also need to change up the color, especially if you had a tan in the summer time.

Give Your Locks Some Love

I love Summertime, weather! However, it doesn't always love us back, especially when it comes to our hair and skin. Every year, people suffer the results of the sizzling summer sun. From sunburns to damaged hair, the sun wreaks havoc upon us in a many ways.

Get A Trim:  In the summer months, we are exposing our hair to chlorine, salt water, and the sun, which can lead to damage! So what better time than the fall to give yourself a trim or even a new hairstyle!

Deep Condition: Revive your dry summer tresses by employing a hot oil treatment or even a deep conditioner to help repair, restore and renew your hair.

Change Up The Color: Although I wore a hat to protect my hair from the hot UV rays of the sun, there are still some sun-kissed highlights.  Additionally, salt water and chlorine can turn blond hair brassy, so fall is a perfect time to say goodbye to those unwanted highlights.  Instead, try a warmer look, doing so is going to help even out that bleach out hair. Additionally, this will give you time to try something that can stay true to the color as you don’t have to worry about your hair fading as much, due to the limited sun exposure in the fall.

IMPORTANT: After spending all that time and money in getting your hair tone just right, the last thing you want is for your hair to start turning brassy looking like a copper penny!  Hence, a product like  Unitehair Blonda Shampoo is perfect in helping me to keep my hair looking as great as it did the day I left the salon!

Skincare
AHA & BHA Exfoliants: While our skin naturally exfoliates our dead skin cells every day, this process can be slowed down due to exposure to the unprotected sun. As the angle of the sun changes and temperatures drop, we tend to spend less time in the sun in the fall, making it an excellent time to apply an AHA or BHA product.  These products help to gently remove the summer buildup of dead skin, to reveal the radiant, soft, hydrated skin hiding beneath. My all time favorite AHA/BHA product is Michael Todd Beauty's Wild Berry Exfoliating Peel!

Cleanse: In the summer months we are drawn towards clarifying cleansers that help to remove that mixture of sweat, makeup, humidity, pollution and oil from our pores. The transition to fall calls for a change in your cleanser as well. Switching from a gel based cleanser to something a bit more hydrating is essential to help your skin adjust to the sudden drop in humidity. This will help you to avoid that unwanted tight feeling in the skin that we tend to get in the dryer months.  The product I recommend to help transition your summer skin to fall is Colleen Rothschild Comprehensive Radiant Cleansing Balm! 

This product is like no other I have used. It is literally like a balm for your face that effortlessly dissolves all traces makeup and other impurities on the skin. And it has Clove and Rosemary for a natural aromatherapy smell that is to die for! This Cleansing Balm leaves my face feeling so smooth and radiant.

Moisturizer: Most of us were wearing light-weight if not oil-free moisturizers throughout the summer months. It’s ideal to gradually add more moisture into your Autumn routine, so start slow. You don’t need to slather your super heavy night cream all over your skin for day wear. You may want to try a moisturizer in the middle and save the emollient rich super thick moisturizer for the winter months.

BONUS TIP...Dermaplaning: I know I said 10 tips, but I decided to throw in a bonus.  As we've been discussing the summer sun, salt water and chlorine can leave our skin feeling dry and flaky and with the humidity change come fall, you need to be ahead of the skincare game, with proper exfoliation and dermaplaning is where it is at.

This is a procedure that you can do at home or have professionally done that takes face-shaving to the next level. This exfoliative treatment helps to shave away the outermost layer of dead skin cells, giving you smoother, radiant skin. Plus, the active ingredients in your skincare products will absorb better, as there is not a layer of dead skin preventing proper absorption. And despite the belief, your hair does not grow back thicker!

So there you have it beauties, my Top 10 Fabulous Fall Beauty Tips.

So, if you want to find out how you to can get your Autumn on continue reading!

Skincare
The last thing we want is to have our skin look as try as leaves so introducing some skincare products that can soothe and relieve your skin is a must!

Unani Il-luminate Milk Cleanser
Adding a daily cleanser that isn’t that harsh on your face is skintastic.  With the change of humidity in the fall months, the last thing you want to do is to apply something on your skin that could be potentially irritating! And this gentle cleanser contains nutritious natural oils that purify and protect the skin by removing impurities as well as makeup, leaving the skin ever so soft while restoring its elasticity.

Masque Bar by Look Beauty Lemon Essence Sheet Mask
As featured in Allure magazine, Look Beauty Face Sheet Masks are Luxurious enough to be mistaken for a pricier product.  These masks combine ingredients to make your skin feel smoother and moist after one application. Furthermore, the cool air can also leave our skin less hydrated, so using a product like the Look Beauty Sheet Masks, can provide hydration as well, which is the key to smoother, rejuvenated skin.

This mask blended some key ingredients like lemon extract, collagen, and Vitamin E to help purify, refine and soothe the skin!

These masks come in a box of 3 with a variety of options.  I am a big fan of these masks, depending on your issue there is a skin solution for you!

Aromessence Néroli Hydrating Oil Serum
Ohh La La, this 100% natural serum oil from Paris was fantastic! Ingredients are what makes one product’s success stand out from another and having a skincare product that is free from artificial coloring is a plus in my book.  It's important to stay away from synthetic dyes, as this can cause some skin irritation. This serum is concentrated in hazelnut botanical oil and enriched with essential oils of neroli (one of the most expensive essential oils around), sandalwood and petitgrain.  The serum moisturizes the skin for hours for a more radiant complexion.

BONUS: Did you know that it takes 1000 pounds of orange blossom flowers to produce one pound of neroli oil? I sure didn’t.

Give Your Locks Some Love
In the summer months, we have put our hair and scalp through the wringer by exposing them to chlorine, salt water, and the hot summer sun for that sun-kissed highlight.  And because of this, you may be experiencing some dry brittle hair and some breakage!

But fret no more as Glossybox included a great hair product by OGX that can help give your summer damaged strands the strength they need to stand their ground against daily damage and breakage.

Because of the limited sun exposure in the fall, this is an excellent time to treat and stimulate your scalp with OGX Anti-Hair Fallout Niacin3 + Caffeine Root Stimulator Spray.

This potent blend of niacin3 + Caffeine, Alpha Hydroxy Acid & natural DHT blocker, encourages a healthy scalp environment and helps prevent hair fallout caused by breakage.

Makeup
It is time to swap out some of those corals and pinks for some deep reds and burgundy. And one of the simplest ways to get a pop of color on your lips and cheeks is with the Emile Makeup Lip & Cheek tint.  While they say, it is versatile and complimentary to any skin tone, you do need to be careful when applying, as it does dry quicker than you think, so blend out soon.
