    You might think you've got your beauty routine under control... or even if your cosmetics collection is a huge mess, you insist you've got a daily system down that works for you (in other words, there's a method to your makeup madness). However, what if I told you that there were simple, easy-to-use tools that could cut your grooming time in half, make the makeup you already have look twice as good, or at least make application a whole lot easier? Even subtle changes, like trading your drugstore tweezers for a better pair that will put your old pair to shame or investing in a train case to keep all your beauty loot neatly organized, can make a big difference in the efficiency of your beauty regime and motivate you to clear out all your prehistoric makeup tools and swap 'em for a compact set of modern must-haves. You might be able to live just fine without the latest beauty technology, but you don't know what you're missing until you test it out! Forget crazy vibrating mascaras and at-home airbrushing systems -- take a look at the slideshow for the 8 most practical, user-friendly beauty tools I swear by!

    Tone Down The Shimmer This Season With Matte Grey Makeup Shades

    Say so long to pearlescent gunmetal and chromed-out silvers -- matte grey is the hot beauty shade for the chilly season ahead! Matte nails have already taken the beauty world by storm, but now other makeup products are following in hot pursuit! From soft stone gray to rich chalky charcoal, there's something about matte grey that gives the face an unexpected warmer look than the more common frosty silver shades. While I've noticed that grey shadow seems to bring the best out of green peepers, it's hard to find someone who can't pull off a dark slate eyeliner in place of your basic black. Plus, mattifying your lids leaves room for shimmer elsewhere (ie: cheeks or lips) and helps ensure a balance so that your face doesn't end up looking like a shiny disco ball! Watch the slideshow for a series of grey shades to consider adding to your cosmetics collection!

    If you're not exactly the most handy with an eyeliner brush, or even if you can't tell the difference between an eyeliner brush or an eyeshadow applicator, you may normally skip past beauty aisles and counters out of fear of the unknown... or the likelihood that you'll end up looking like something out of a horror movie if left to your own devices with a collection of shades. Luckily, Halloween is the one time of year where that look just might work in your favor! Costume makeup doesn't discriminate between the cosmetics-challenged and the beauty adept; even if you're not looking to go out as a drag queen, it can be fairly easy to complement your costume with the right Halloween-appropriate makeup. Dark nail polish is always an easy way to get festive, or take the opportunity to go full-out glam with gilded eye foil. Or if you're really that helpless when it comes to self-beautifying, these wild ColorOn eyeshadow appliques practically do all the work for you! Take a look at the slideshow for some perfect beauty picks to either look frightening or fetching on your night out!

    It might be a little early to start shopping for Christmas gifts (unless you're an overachiever... or just really smart and on top of things), but just in case you want to cross me off your list ahead of time, here's what you can get me! Think of the Sephora Blockbuster Palette as the ultimate fix for makeup addicts. Like a shiny new espresso machine for caffeine junkies, or Willy Wonka's chocolate river to an insatiable chocoholic, this thing is the mother lode of cosmetics combo sets. With more than 84 eyeshadows, 60 lip glosses, and a ridiculously impressive array of blushes, eyeliners, and all the necessary applicators, you'll be more than set to achieve the alleged 60,000 different looks possible. And the added bonus? Everything folds and packs neatly into its compact mirrored case. Cue the "hallelujah" chorus!


    Price: $48
    Who Found It: xgalexy was the first to add the Sephora Blockbuster Palette to the Hive.

    Using beauty products may not be the most environmentally harmful part of your daily routine (well, unless of course you're addicted to hairspray), but if you're into going the natural route for the sake of saving your skin and the planet, you're certainly not the only one! Lucky for us eco-conscious makeup mavens, some of our favorite beauty brands have jumped on the green bandwagon and made natural, organic, and eco-chic versions of their popular products. For example, Lancome's Juicy Tubes Pure are just like the old favorite, but this time with 95% natural ingredients! And Urban Decay's shadow box packs 10 of their favorite shadows into a sustainable wooden box complete with a cruelty-free eyeshadow brush. I won't be dramatic and say that a few coats of organic mascara will save the world, but hey -- every little gesture counts! Take a browse through the slideshow to see which big-name brands have gone natural!

    Flirt Shamelessly This Season With Fall's Spiky Lashes

    I've always been a serious eyeliner girl, collecting everything from smoky kohl pencils in every color to budge-proof creme liner pots to liquid glitter liner. But my most recent beauty obsession? Spiky lashes -- either blacked-out versions of your natural lashes, or a little added help from a handy set of falsies like Kim Kardashian's. Unlike thick, showgirl-esque, llama-looking lashes that focus on heavy volume, fall's take on the lash trend gives you dramatic length without verging on unnatural. In other words, you'll have people commenting on how jealous they are of your flirty peepers instead of asking if you just walked off a Vegas stage. Take a look at the slideshow to browse some products that'll help you get your lashes long and spiky! Photo Credit: PR Photos
