Beauty Quickie: Keep skin looking fresh and youthful by choosing a moisturizer that contains a low level of sunscreen, like SPF 15. This added ingredient will add a measure of protection from harmful UV rays as well as keep skin soft and smooth. Moreover, develop stronger skin by choosing moisturizers that contain Vitamin A and Vitamin E.
Beauty Word: Astringent
What It Means: If you have oily skin astringent will help you to control surface oils as well as lower the pH after cleansing.
We Recommend: “I have been fighting with oily skin since I was a teen and it still gives me issues from time to time. To help me keep my skin in order as much as possible I’ll use am astringent made by Neutrogena. I’ve been using it for years and it works! My only caution is that you constantly have to monitor and readjust your usage. Sometimes you may need more applications then other times you will not. If you do not watch it you could actually notice your skin becoming really dry. I find that when I’m very oily I’ll need to do more applications, but once I start gaining control again I can reduce how many times I use it.”

This season when it comes to tresses you need to go big or go home! Voluminous, dramatic hairstyles were seen flying down catwalks during various autumn/winter runway shows. The lovely chignon that was created for the Carolina Herrera runway show was bar none. The hair was smoothly pulled back which flowed into a high modern bee-hive up-do. It was a very elegant hairstyle for a beautiful and sophisticated collection. Who knew that simplicity could look so grand?
If you ever find yourself having a bad hair day usually a hat is the way to go. Not only can they hide the unruly strands beneath, but can make a strong style statement in the process. We loved the wide brim hats that were seen during the Christain Siriano fashion show for his fall/winter 2014 collection. The models looked sleek, modern and oh so demure! If you do not mind bringing straight drama to your ensemble then this style of hat should definitely be added to this season’s wardrobe.

Did you know that your skin renews itself about every 28 days? That’s a lot of skin shedding going on that you probably do not notice very often. Nonetheless, flakes on the scalp can be caused for a number of reasons besides this natural occurrence. Therefore, what can be done to eliminate dandruff?
For one, you will need a shampoo that is well equipped as well as formulated to handle the job. When doing your haircare shopping be sure to include an anti-dandruff shampoo. Before buying flip the bottle over and look for these ingredients:
Hair Tip Bonus: If you continue to use the same hair products over and over again your hair can develop an immunity to the product’s ingredients and the product will lose it’s effectiveness. To prevent this from happening rotate the brands you use at least once a month.

If you basically bought stock in orange tone lip color starting back in spring you may wonder if you can still get some mileage out of such a bold tint now that the seasons have changed yet again. Flowing from spring into summer makeup is always a cinch, but knowing which trends will translate into autumn and winter can get a little tricky. We always preach that if you love it, you should wear it regardless of trends because makeup should fun and beaming with personality. Nevertheless, here is the skinny on the orange lip shade tip.
Are orange lips still trendy for fall/winter 2014? Yes, orange lips are still all the rage which is nice when makeup colors tend to go darker as winter approaches. The orange look that is full of autumn flavor is more matte than the glossier versions that were big beauty business earlier in the year. Zac Posen’s models during New York Fashion Week wore a gorgeous matte shade by MAC called Dangerous. So then, the verdict is in, orange lips are still “In.”
