3 Steps For Your Morning Routine (via College Candy)

Guest post from my friends at College Candy!

Mornings are hard enough without having to deal with fancy make-up techniques and surprise zits. Keep these 3 steps in mind when you’re rushing out the door and you’ll be sure not to show up to class with an eyeliner disaster.

1. First things first; after you splash your face with fresh cold water in the morning and smile at yourself in the mirror (damn girl, you lookin’ fine) make sure to avoid these make-up blunders. I think Snooksters should read this…

2.  Acne is the first thing I notice on my face in the morning. For some scary reason I thought the zitty buggers would stop popping up after I endured a brutal awkward phase and puberty. Hmph, not so much. It’s a mine field on your face sometimes. Come morning, take the natural route in fulfilling your wildest clear skin dreams.

3. And most importantly, remember to love yourself.  As you look in the mirror every morning, take this note to your body (personalized for you) and recite it.  Being comfortable in your skin is the best beauty tip out there.

Chanel Soho Story Collection for Fashion Night Out

Fashion Night Out is going to be the biggest fashion event that every fashionista would not dream of missing and Chanel is celebrating with a limited-edition makeup line called the Soho Story Collection. The collection is inspired by Chanel’s  newly, redesigned Soho Boutique and its contrasting spirit. Chanel’s Global Creative Director of Makeup, Peter Philips says, ”For me, Soho is a place where bohemian ideals meet the toughness of the city.” “I had a specific girl in mind, who is both hard and soft. This is a very special kind of New York woman. She is innocent, but she has a steely determination that fuels the city.”

The collection mixes flirty pink shades and neutrals with metallics and shadowy shades. It includes:

  • The Soho de Chanel Palette ($65)-  eye shadow compact with four velvety shades
  • The Quadra Eye Shadow Palette ($56)- in Stupendous (beige, brown, prune and steel)
  • Le Vernis Nail Lacquers ($23)- Strong and Steel
  • Rouge Coco Lip Color ($30)- in Stunning, a pink-beige shade
  • Glossimer ($27)-  in Star, a shimmery pink shade
  • Rouge Allure Lacquer ($32)- in Stunt, a soft mauve (Not shown above)

Chanel Soho Story Collection will be available exclusively at the Soho Store on Fashion Night Out (September 10th).
