Since Clinique specializes in incredible skin care products, they’ve put together a new kit that contains a 4-week supply of the three necessary steps in fighting acne–cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturizing. The new Acne Solutions Clear Skin System Starter Kit will help clear your skin leaving it soft and beautiful, and you’ll wonder what you ever did without it! Here’s a break-down:

Step 1: Cleanse with Acne Solutions Cleansing Foam
Step 2: Exfoliate with Acne Solutions Clarifying Lotion
Step 3: Moisturize with Acne Solutions Clearing Moisturizer

The set is available for only $32.50 here, and you can buy each individual product separately in case you run out! Here’s what each one does:

Acne Solutions Cleansing Foam, $17.50, here.

This mild, medicated cleansing foam will help clear and prevent acne, so you can have beautiful, flawless skin! Its formula removes dirt and excess oil and unclogs pores, as well as calms, soothes, and reduces redness. Your skin will feel soft, smooth, and super comfortable!

To use: Simply pump dispenser 2-3 times and massage gently over wet skin, avoiding eye area. Continue use after blemishes clear to prevent new ones. Follow with Acne Solutions Clarifying Lotion.

Acne Solutions Clarifying Lotion, $13.50, here.

This gentle, medicated formula exfoliates to clear dead surface cells and reduces excess oil that can lead to breakouts. It also unclogs pores, and its oil-absorbing powders eliminate shine. This lotion will sooth irritation and redness, leaving you with soft, clear skin!

To use: Shake well. With a cotton ball, sweep lotion over face and throat, avoiding eye area. Use in the morning and at night after cleansing with Acne Solutions Cleansing Foam. If drying or peeling occurs, reduce usage. Continue using after acne clears for prevention. Follow with Acne Solutions Clearing Moisturizer Oil-Free.

Acne Solutions Clearing Moisturizer Oil-Free, $16, here.

This lightweight, medicated formula will help treat existing acne and prevent future breakouts. It creates a barrier against acne causing agents and controls excess oil, leaving your skin clean and clear. The formula calms, soothes, and reduces rednesses, and lightly hydrates to minimize dryness and peeling, keeping your skin soft and healthy.

To use: Apply a thin layer to face in the morning and at night. Reduce usage if drying or peeling occurs. For best results, use after Acne Solutions Cleansing Foam and Clarifying Lotion. Continue using after acne clears for prevention.

Sequins are fall’s latest trend, and they are going to be seen everywhere. What’s cuter than an accessory dazzled with tons of sparkling sequins? This is the perfect way to glam up a casual outfit (the little black dress) and add some style! Let’s take a look at some of the latest sequined accessories:

Christian Louboutin Glitter Slingback, $690, here.

Fendi Sequined Clutch, $1,630, here.

Anne Klein Sequined Flat, $225, here.

The perfect way to freshen up your summer is with a few spritzes of Stila’s new fragrance, Mandarin Mist. This light, citrus scent is a luscious blend of mimosa and yuzu fruit that will keep you smelling irresistible. The eau de parfum spray comes in a 1.7 oz bottle, so you can easily stick it in your summer bag and go! You can get it for $36 here.

Mineral powder is seen everywhere lately, and why shouldn’t it be? It contains no oil or fragrances, so you will have soft, healthy skin! Urban Decay’s new Universal Surreal Skin Mineral Powder will go on like a dream. It comes in one shades that flatters both the lightest and darkest skin tones!

This loose powder contains no talc, artificial dyes, or fragrances, and you will barely feel it on your skin. It contains Titanium Dioxide, which provides amazing coverage and filters UVA and UVB rays (even though it is always good to wear an oil-free SPF 15 sunscreen underneath!) Its yellow tone neutralizes redness and evens skin tones while nourishing skin, so it will look natural on everybody.

You can apply it on the go–the powder includes a built-in shaker dispenser topped with a thick puff, so there won’t be a mess at all! If you prefer to apply with a brush, simply unscrew the lid and remove the puff. You can use a big brush for all over coverage, and a small brush for smaller areas to cover blemishes and under eye circles. You can get the powder for $28 here!

Bare Escentuals works wonders in creating fabulous makeup, so I am definitely excited to check out their new Big Tease Mascara. It will give your lashes everything you could ask for from a mascara–length, volume, and no clumps! This mascara will turn the shortest lashes into intense, voluminous, flirty lashes!

Big Tease Mascara has a long-bristled side and a short-bristled side. The long-bristled side is designed to separate and lengthen each individual lash (even the smallest hard-to-reach ones!), so you will have the results you want without the clumps. The short-bristled side builds volume so your lashes will be super full and thick. It is available in Black and Blackest Black.

Bare Escentuals even gave some tips to help this mascara look its best. You can prevent smudges by applying a tiny amount of Mineral Veil Finishing Powder [$19] under the lash line, so it will stay put all day. You can also increase your lash volume with a coat of bareMinerals SPF 15 Foundation [$25] on lashes before applying mascara.

You can get Big Tease Mascara for just $15 here!

Want to look airbrushed and flawless in one easy step? Dior’s new DiorSkin AirFlash Spray Foundation is an ultra-fluid mist foundation that will give your skin an instant look of perfection by simply spraying on!

With the “Z” technique devised by Dior makeup artists, this foundation will provide you a flawless, even coverage that will stay matte and last all day long! Simply shake the bottle well, hold it around 8 inches from your face, close your eyes, and spray rapidly in a Z motion: horizontally across your forehead, diagonally over your face, and horizontally across your chin. Repeat process for more coverage. Finish by gently blending with your fingertips, and you’ll look gorgeous and airbrushed all day! It comes in four shades that will compliment every skin tone: Light Beige 200, Cameo 202, Medium Beige 300, and Honey 400. You can get it for $60 here!

Kristin Cavallari’s makeup always looks so pretty! I love the smokey eye looks she always wears in Laguna Beach. This time, she spiced it up with some golden, summery eye shadows! Here’s how you can get her look:

1. With the NARS Duo Cream Eyeshadow [$31] in Summer Time, sweep the Champagne shade all over lid.

2. Sweep the Sunset Gold shade in the same duo on crease for a pretty, summery look. Blend well.

3. Draw a line along the upper lash line with MAC Powerpoint Eye Pencil in Engraved [$13.50], starting from the inner corner and working your way out. Then, draw a line along the lower lash line, starting at the outer corner and working your way in. Apply liner on the lower inner rim as well for a sexy, smokey look.

4. Apply two coats of Diorshow Black Out Mascara in Kohl Black [$23] on top lashes, followed by two coats on bottom lashes. This will give you full, voluminous, fluttery lashes!

5. Sweep Stila Cheek Color Pan in Dance [$16] on apples of cheeks for a pretty pink glow.

6. Every smokey eye always looks fabulous paired with baby pink lips! Apply Chanel Lèvres Scintillantes Glossimer in Glow [$25] for a shimmery, light pink pout!
