Beauty Quickie: Have you ever experienced or developed a rash after shaving? It is recommended to not use any products containing alpha hydroxy acids or heavy fragrance on newly shaved legs. Using such products on freshly shaved skin could cause a rash or even sting.
Hair Quickie: All this week we have been dishing out tips to help all our girls with the color-treated hair. One simple tip to keep in mind is to change up where you part your hair. Do not keep your locks parted in the same place continuously. By switching things up you help prevent uneven fading since different sections are exposed.
Spring will be here quicker than we know it and the revealing of winter toes will be upon us. Besides getting those mani and pedis in order, you will need some hot footwear to show off your refreshed feet.

We spotted stunning model Grace Bol working her stuff for the Rick Owens Faun SS15 collection. Bol looks sophisticated and statuesque as her hand delicately holds her dress and eyes peer deeply towards the camera. Grace adds a softness to the intricate design which encapsulates femininity with edge.

She may be born with it and have hair so healthy it shines, but we are definitely sure that very girl put in work to look that awesome! We believe in working smarter not harder to stay naturally gorgeous. Here are 3 quick tips to help you gain and maintain beautiful skin.
1. It is best to saturate skin with lotion or creams right after a shower or bath while skin is still slightly damp to lock in moisture.
2. Soothe dry winter skin by warming lotion for 5 seconds in the microwave before applying.
3. Once a week exfoliate your entire body with a scrub in order to get rid of dead skin cells that can cause skin to look dull. Moreover, removing dead skin will allow oils and lotion to absorb better.
Most likely if you have changed your hair color it is your desire to keep your new tint looking rich and luxurious. There are some treatments that will help the color last and others will dull or strip it. Hot oil treatments are something that you will want to limit or use with caution to maintain vibrancy.
Hot oil treatments are known to contain high levels of acidity such as if you perform a treatment with olive oil. The oil will strip the color and there goes your gorgeous new shade. Nevertheless, do not despair you can still perform hot oil treatments even after taking a hair color leap. To do so, you will need to look for a product that has been specifically formulated for color-treated hair in order to maintain your dye job.
Beauty Quickie: It happens to the best of us, we find a fragrance that we absolutely love and get a little too spritz happy. Therefore, what can you do to tone down very strong fragrance? Calm your perfume by dabbing on rubbing alcohol with a cotton ball onto your skin. The alcohol will reduce the scent without altering it so that you can continue to be the lovely scented queen that you are.
Increase those smooches ladies and make your lips one sexy attraction! From exfoliation to application of products here are a few tips to make your lips gorgeous.
1. Use a damp cloth nightly to smooth and buff off flaky dry skin and seal the deal with a coat of lip balm.
2. Keep your cute lipstick from bleeding by patting on a tiny bit of concealer around your lips.
3. Make lip color “ever-lasting” by waiting a few minutes after application to blot with a tissue. After the lip color has set and been blotted dust lips with powder and apply another coat of color.
