My Top 4 Fall Beauty Essentials {+ A #lypsyllipcare Review}

**Product received for consideration. All thoughts are 100% my own.

As summer comes to an end, many of us find ourselves looking forward to the cooler weather. We long for the sweaters and scarfs, the cute little boots and the pumpkin spice lattes.

But along with all of those great aspects of cooler weather, we must also take some of the bad! In my household, that means the return of super dry skin and chapped lips! Yes, as much as we might love fall and winter, it sure can wreak havoc in our beauty routine!

Today, I'm sharing my top 4 fall beauty essentials to help you prepare:

A Good Moisturizer. 

When the colder weather kits, dry skin starts to take over! A good moisturizer is a MUST. And this goes for face and body too! When shopping for any body washes, faces washes, etc I also make sure to look for products that are intended for dry skin. Healthy, moisturized skin is absolute key to ANY beauty routine, so this is the best place to start.

Sugar Scrub.

I find in the colder weather, due to that dry skin, exfoliation is also a must. For me, nothing could be better than a great sugar scrub. You can purchase from your favorite beauty stores, but I prefer to make my own... sugar, coconut oil and a little cinnamon makes a GREAT scrub that leaves my skin feeling great... and it smells pretty amazing too.

New Nail Colors.

In the summer, my nails either tend to be more natural OR bright, summery colors. In the fall, I like to get deeper colors... gorgeous plum, mustards, even a fantastic grey! Currently, I'm also on the hunt for a perfect olive nail polish. Other options are deeper navys and emeralds... the possibilities are endless, but there are plenty of colors to have fun with.

Moisturizing Lip Balm. 

As moisturizers are for body, a good lip balm is for the lips. As with my nails, I also love to do deeper bolder colors on my lips during the fall months, but dry lips will kill any great lip look. Be sure to keep your favorite balm handy so you can apply as needed to keep your lips looking their absolute best.


When it comes to keep our lips at their best, I have found that not all lip balms are created equal. We need good quality balms that actually WORK. I was recently introduced to one such product that I am excited to share with all of you, Lypsyl Original Mint Lip Balm:

Created with pure Swedish beeswax, Organic Shea Butter, Coconut Oil and vitamins A and E for long-lasting, deep-penetrating moisture and lip care protection. LypSyl Intense Protection helps moisturize, soften and protect your lips naturally. The unique one-hand slide allows for quick application. And, the oversized application tip ensures this ultra- light formula spreads evenly for better lip coverage.

• Minty flavor refreshes

• Organic Shea Butter heals & protects

• Coconut Oil moisturizes

• Vitamins A&E soften & heal

• Not tested on animals

Now, I must be honest- when it comes to lip balms, I can be extremely picky! Once I've found a product that works, I tend to stick with it and not venture into trying more. Still, I decided to give this one a shot...and boy was I glad I did!

First and foremost, I noticed the minty freshness. Mint balms are always my favorites... not only do I love the scent, but I love the tingly feeling it gives as well. You know the one, right? It goes on smoothly and lasts, leaving my lips feeling and looking their best!

Aside from feeling great, I also love the ease of use of this particular lip balm. The applicator is larger than your typical lip balm so you can get complete coverage easily with just one swipe. It also features a unique slider rather than your typical twist up style. It's super easy and convenient to apply anytime and anywhere.
