Since I’ve been doing this awesome Spring Scent Picks feature, I feel like I want to start a smell blog for things that smell good - from beauty products and the interior of new cars to old-fashioned magic markers and old-fashioned report cards. Ok, I’m showing my age now. Here are some more that I’m digging right now!

From L to R clockwise:

ELIZABETH ARDEN 'Pretty' Eau de Cologne Splash ($45/6.8oz @ elizabetharden.com)
CND SpaManicure Citrus Hydrating Lotion for the hands ($13.95/8oz @ bebeautiful.com)
ORGANIX Conditioner in Cherry Blossom Ginseng ($6.99/13oz @ cvs.com)

KINGS & QUEENS Sugar Showergel ($9/10.14oz @ select Target stores)

Disclosure: Some of these items were provided to Cybelesays.com for review purposes. Some I bought.

I never thought it would happen and I must say I am kind of into it now that I have played with them a few times. What am I referring to? Colored mascara! Like putting colored eye liner on the waterline of the eye, colored mascaras are big for fall. A budget-friendly way to try the trend is FLIRT!’s Big Flirt Thickening Mascara in Real Teal ($12 @ kohls.com) from their Butterfly Dreams Fall Color Collection. Whether you like to wear one color on your eyes or a few, color on your lashes is just so unexpected and quite delightful to behold.

Not into a rich color like this teal? Try one that’s a little more subtle like a navy or dark purple.

And here’s a great tip from makeup artist Tasha Reiko Brown-Jovel – dust lashes with loose setting powder before applying mascara.

And here’s a Cybelesays tip – instead of brushing the color onto the whole last from root to tip, try working the bristles into the lashes at the root and move it from side to side ever so slightly to wrap the color around each lash. Top with black on the tips of the lashes and this will give you a very subtle hint of color.
