Well, hot damn—it’s September already. I don’t know about you, but I always, ALWAYS require a new haircut and colour right about now to welcome the fall season (even if it technically doesn’t begin until the 23rd). I just got the latter attended to yesterday, and next week I’m visiting this guy for my cut… which means I’m already browsing the haircuts folder on my computer, as well as my collection of trashy gossip mags (what?) for inspiration.
You see, even though I’m a firm believer in the Life Cut theory, I’m still very much open to subtle tweaks, like bangs or no bangs, or a new colour, or a different length. (If you don’t know what I’m talking about with this term “Life Cut,” then you really should just go read this post—but in a nutshell, it’s that everyone should find a haircut that suits them for life.)
Maybe I’m also in the mood to switch things up because I’ve been talking to Nick Arrojo. He’s a celebrity hairstylist (clients include Minnie Driver and Bryan Adams) and best known as the former resident hairstylist on the makeover show What Not To Wear. And he is ALL ABOUT CHANGE.

I always know it’s time for the seasons to change when I start to hate my summer wardrobe. Can I include nails in that? Because as much as I love the bright corals and fuchsias I’ve been wearing for the past few months, I’m definitely ready for a darker, more muted palette. I’ve got fall nail colours to show you from two brands today—one of them is probably the most unusual, chameleon-like shade I’ve seen in ages (if not ever).
Besides nails, I fell in love with yet another long-wearing eyeshadow-in-a-pot, this one a cream-to-powder that Olivia Wilde was wearing in yesterday’s post. Plus, new brow tints—not pencils—that win on three fronts: a) believable colour, b) a hair-like tip and c) water-resistance. Yay! Then I’ve got a new ultra-soothing body lotion that might be for babies but I don’t care… and finally, the coolest (fluoride-free) tooth-cleaning innovation of all time. I’m not sure if you know this about me, but I really hate mint toothpaste. Brushing with the flavours of clove, cardamom and ginger? OH HAI. And that’s just one of the awesome flavours.

The end of August is kind of a sad time because it means that summer is almost over… but it’s also a little bit exciting because it’s the absolute BEST time of the year for new makeup. (I guess we deserve something to compensate.) Yep, the good stuff is starting to trickle in and I’m featuring a bunch of it in today’s video.
That lip colour I’m wearing? It’s called Evil Pink, which might be the best lipstick name of all time… and one in a new collection of matte lipsticks I want to tell you about today. I’ve also got a couple of fabu mascaras, an easy-to-use, non-1980s contouring kit and… VERY EXCITING… a powder compact that I think every single female needs to own for her purse. No, I’m not exaggerating.
