Aveda Control Paste
Julie in our sales and marketing department swears by this good-smelling potion from Aveda. She's sporting a new pixie cut and her hair looks great every day!
"I love this because it creates texture with great hold that isn’t sticky or stiff - you are able to play with your hair. Plus it smells awesome and a little goes a long way," says Julie.
If there is an Aveda salon near you, you can buy their full line of products there or at www.aveda.com!
Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil
Publisher of fourpoints Kasie Smith swears by this powder!
"I have a tendency to get shiny during the day. This is applied as a powder over your make up and works great! Wore it on my wedding day for the first time (88 degrees) and didn't need to re-apply," says Kasie.
You can purchase this loose powder (it comes in 4 colorways) at stores like Sephora, Ulta, and Bare Escentuals locations.
Cetaphil Body Lotion
For those of you living in colder climates, you know that dry skin season is upon is. It's not pretty think about – or look at. But that's okay! If you start using Cetaphil Body Lotion, you won't have anything to worry about. This stuff comes in a big tub – I usually get mine at Target – and lasts for a long time. The moisturizing punch it packs is incredible – if I put it on at night, water beads up on my skin the shower the next morning. It's not a super fancy product, to be sure, but it absolutely gets the job done! Birch Box
Covergirl Liquiline Blast Eyeliner
For years, I've relied on the standard (and slightly retro) kohl eyeliner for all my eye makeup needs. But lately, I've found that it's tough to line the upper lid with the kohl pencil and it tends to bleed a bit under my eyes. On a whim, I picked up this eyeliner. It's still a pencil – not a liquid pen, which I don't care for much—but it's got a nice, fine point and a smudger to boot. I was pleased with how easy it was to use, even on my upper lids, and it stayed put all day. I even had a "contact mishap" and after much eye watering, my liner was still in place. Sold! Boar Bristle Teasing Comb
teasing comb. I don't know how long these things have been around, but I love them. The extra bristles result in some SERIOUS volume (hallelujah) and also help smoothing over the hair once you are done teasing. I got mine for about 7 dollars at the drug store, but you can also find higher end combs at salons and hair salons. Shellac Manicure
If you get your nails done regularly, you have probably heard about the phenomenon that is the shellac manicure. This debuted in nail salons about 6 months ago, and it is amazing!
I recently had a shellac mani done, and it was awesome. I got my nails shaped and cuticles groomed, like a regular mani, and then my nails were painted with the special shellac polish. I chose a neutral beige shade. In between coats, my hands were put under the UV box to "fix" the polish. After a base coat, two coats of polish, and a topcoat, my nails were good to go. They were dry immediately, and perfectly shiny and intact for nearly two weeks. The price was a bit more than a regular mani, but it also lasted a lot longer than a normal mani. There aren't as many colors of shellac polish yet, but you can always buy your own and take it in to your nail salon.
Fall Fashion In Action
One of our favorite make-up artists, Luba Samrick, demonstrates how to create the perfect fall make-up look, using the lovely Miss Michigan Elizabeth Wertenberger as her model.
Goody Spin Pins
Like a lot of women (and especially pageant woman), I have long hair. If I don’t feel like going through the ritual of flat ironing, teasing, etc. I opt to put my hair up in a bun. Most days, this involves a couple of hair bands and about five bobby pins. That is, until I discovered Goody Spin Pins. These little darlings spin right into your hairdo and keep it in place, doing the work of a handful of bobby pins in one little doodad. I love them, and you will too! They come in two sizes (small and large) and a few colors to match the shade of your hair.
MAC Cremesheen Lipstick
It's no secret that the fourpoints team are big fans of MAC cosmetics. My current favorite in their lineup is Cremesheen lipstick in Creme D'Nude. It's the pefect neutral for fall, for the fair skinned ladies like 
me and the darker complected among us. What i love about this lipstick is the full pigmentation, the shiny but not too glossy finish, and the way it feels. It's like a gorgeous chapstick, essentially—very moisturizing and comfortable to wear. There are other shades in the Cremesheen line, however, if nudes are not your thing. Check out all of MAC's lipsticks.
Bonus: If you collect 6 empty make up containers (eyeshadow, lipstick, powder, etc.) you can turn them in at any MAC counter or store for a FREE lipstick!
