Beauty Insider: Be Matchy-Matchy
Makeup and your ensemble should be like peas and carrots…they should complement each other, not compete with each other. Therefore, how does the matchy-matchy beauty look work? Whatever your OOTD (outfit of the day) is you simply wear colors that are exact matches or come very close. Choose a color from your outfit then utilize it on your lips or maybe to play up your eyes.
What if you are wearing a piece that is multi-colored or has a print? Does this mean it is time to become one with the Care Bears rainbow? Makeup should always be fun, but a more streamlined look will truly work best. Choose one of the colors that are not as pronounced and draw it out with your makeup for a dramatic effect.
Over the years the match makeup look has been seen during runway shows for fashion houses such as Fendi and by style-riskers Rihanna and Kerry Washington. Here are a few more celebrity looks to help get you in the match making mood.

Rihanna is up to bat again, but notice that her orange lip is not exact, its a darker shade of orange but still complements

Should I Skip Moisturizer Since I Have Oily Skin?
Beauty Quickie: Not only should you not skip it, but most likely you are only making the problem worse. The upside to having oily skin is that dermatologists rave that more than likely you will not develop many wrinkles, but shining like the crowning jewels is what’s the main issue. It has been a common belief amongst women that skin needs to be “dried out” in order to reduce the amount of oil that is created on your face. Wrong, wrong and more wrong. When you deprive your skin of moisture the skin produces even more oil to compensate. As tempting as it may be to make your face more “oil-free” avoid skipping moisturizers because the more your skin loses moisture the more moisture it will create.
Late Night Beauty Call: Ciara
We are dialing on the keypad to get a hold of…Ciara! She can sing, she can her dance her butt off and oh yeah, she has model good looks as well. Ciara was definitely born to be a star.
The fabulous new mommy has her fit little body back and has been sporting some amazing couture style. Nevertheless, this call is strictly beauty related so let’s talk makeup. We think Ciara pulls off the natural face look extremely well. With that bone structure and smile you really don’t need much. However, we love when starlets mix it up, so Ciara’s red lip look definitely caught our attention. A bold look that was showcased well thanks to the rest of her makeup being more muted.

Los Angeles Has Fallen For Designer Jason Ryan
Jason Ryan stole the show at last night’s Metropolitan Fashion Week and one thing is clear, Los Angeles is in love.
At the garden oasis of Greystone Mansion, guests sat in awe of Ryan’s monotone avant-garde collection. Opera singer Nicolette Holman opened the show with a haunting voice that perfectly represented the theme of Jason Ryan’s collection. The designer debuted 10 menswear and 7 womenswear pieces from his collection Resentment. Run. Evil.
In the dramatic presentation, all the models wore pale body suits covering them from head to toe and ornate headpieces that sat as crowns on their heads. All eyes were locked on the designs, and as the finale gown made its way down the runway the entire audience was under Jason Ryan’s spell.
As the favorite of Los Angeles fashion week, it is clear the designer has made his mark on the fashion community, and all doors are now open.
JASON RYAN features masterfully created ready-to-wear and avant-garde high end menswear. Each collection is highly stylized and driven by a strong central theme. The designs are known for their impeccable artistry and thoughtful embellishment.
Often full of high-drama, the meticulous detailing and innovative structures of the designs create an encompassing sensory experience. The current 2014 Holiday Collection, Resentment.Run.Evil, features several womens-wear pieces showcasing a feminine edge.
The Designer
Avant-garde menswear designer, Jason Ryan has rapidly gained attention as one of the most watched breakout designers of the season. His namesake brand, JASON RYAN debuted on the runway with his Fall 2014 Collection “Love, Corrida”–matador inspired menswear featuring heavy silk satins, metallic mesh, leather and fur.
Hailing from Los Angeles, CA, Ryan studied at Pratt and FIT, before graduating with a BFA from American InterContinental University. The talented designer gained years of experience working for companies such as Disney, Bebe, and DreamWorks.

Metropolitan Fashion Week events are held in dramatic, non-traditional venues that showcase not just best fashion designers or costume designers, but the most beautiful venues each city has to offer.
Hair Notes: Rapunzel let down your hair! The jaw-dropping fashions of Jason Ryan’s collection were definitely the belle of the ball, but we couldn’t help but fall in love with the overall styling of the models. The lovely and dramatic hair was adorned with floral and rope detailing. The couture and the styling were simply divine!

Fall 2014 Streetstyle: Color Pop
It does not matter what season it is, it is never wrong to wear color. Vibrant tints do not need to be reserved for spring and summer only. Now of course we do not want anyone looking like they belong in a pack of Skittles, but color when done correctly is very fresh and hip.
Case in point, check out Kelly Rowland when she attended New York Fashion Week. Her skirt pops yet it does not overpower her overall look. We love the two-tone skirt being paired with a tee shirt. The outfit is very laid back, but still comes off super stylish. Therefore, add some color this season to add some dimension to your fall and winter looks.
What are Sulfates?
Hair Quickie: Sulfates can be found in products such as shampoo or conditioner and are designed to help remove dirt and oil. The removal of such of debris is a good thing, but as mama always said, “Too much of a good thing can be bad.” Using products with sulfates too often can lead to your hair being stripped, not good especially if you are trying to grow out your mane. Limiting sulfate products and using sulfate-free products instead is the best defense against this harmful hair offense. If possible, try to use sulfate products once a month.

Is Your Tap Water Drying Out Your Hair?
Hair Quickie: Your tap water could be stripping your hair of the moisture it needs to stay healthy. Pure water has a PH balance of 7, however, the water supply in many areas do not match this number. The mineral deposits that can be left behind on tresses will not only cause them to be drier than the desert, but this dryness could then lead to breakage. Testing your water with PH Balance strips can help you gauge what type of water may be affecting your hair. Now, please note your water may not be the culprit behind your hair’s dryness. Nevertheless, knowledge and prevention is the best way to grow and maintain the length of your hair.
