Lately I've been completely enthralled by the season's sights, smells and wardrobe picks.  Today, however, I wanted to take a moment to share with you all some of the beauty loves I've been coveting lately.  From the colors to the textures and, most importantly, the functionality of these pieces they each are exactly what our skin craves and needs right now.  By this point,  we all know the importance of a thorough yet gentle cleanse.  Even if you absolutely love the feel of lathering up and getting all squeaky clean, it's best to remember that this type of scrub down is NOT your skin's best friend.  Quite to the contrary, it's probably (one of) the worst things you can do for your precious face.  Our skin requires a certain pH level to function at its best.  Stripping cleansers that disturb this natural balance leave you feeling tight, dry and like your skin is one size too small.  Opt instead for one of the luxuriously hydrating cleansing oils you're seeing everywhere right now.  This one is my current favorite.  I'm also a huge fan of softly spiced hues that lend the just right amount of warmth to fall and winter complexions.  This palette, this shimmer brick and this lip color are so pretty and give my skin that lit from within look I love.  Finally, when it comes to hair that is long, strong, shiny, supple and lush THIS oil is the holy grail.  Trust me when I tell you that I've tried nearly every product line there is out there and nothing (let me repeat that emphatically), nothing compares at all with this.  Yes, it's a bit pricey but honestly, if you add up all the $5, $10 and $15 products you buy and don't love you'll probably discover that you're spending more than that on items you don't truly love (nor does your hair!).  

 So how about you? Which products have prime shelf space in your beauty drawer right now? I'd love to hear!
