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.
Are Orange Lips Still Trendy for Fall/Winter 2014?
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.”
Fashionable Mention: Jane Bowler A/W 14
Why We Love It: The geometric designs and strong structural pieces are spellbinding. We got lost in the creativity of the collection due to it’s array of beauty that seemed to meld hard with the soft. The fashions are modern, futuristic, vibrant as well as oozing a sexy sophistication.
Beauty Notes: The strong blue eyeshadow made us take notice but still didn’t overpower any of the couture masterpieces. This bold is great to add a little jazz to your autumn and winter ensembles.
Daily Beauty Quote October 6, 2014
“The wise do not buy into other people’s perceptions of who they are and what they are capable of. Instead, they bypass a person’s public persona and see who they are in their highest expression. When you see actions taken with integrity, instead of words only, you will then know a soul’s worth.”

Daily Beauty Quote October 3, 2014
“Beauty shouldn’t be about changing yourself to achieve an ideal or be more socially acceptable. Real beauty, the interesting, truly pleasing kind, is about honoring the beauty within you and without you. It’s about knowing that someone else’s definition of pretty has no hold over you.”

Daily Beauty Quote October 2, 2014
“That’s how powerful you are, girl…You pretty, but pretty alone is not what people see. You the kinda pretty, the kinda beauty, that’s like a mirror. Men and women see themselves in you, only now they so beautiful that they can’t bear to see you go.”

Autumn/Winter Fashion: The Plaid Pant
Many fashionistas find the autumn and winter seasons to be enjoyable times to be stylish. Usually more layers are needed which means more couture that gets to be modeled (yes, the streets are our personal runways) and incorporated into an ensemble. Sometimes, the power of a great pant can easily get overlooked. Nevertheless, that is why the plaid pant should be a part of your wardrobe during the cooler months.
With plaid you don’t necessarily need to channel 90’s grunge (although we think that would be pretty hot) you can simply think of it as an addition to mixing and matching your favorite fall/winter pieces. Pair a plaid pant with knitwear, blazers, long vests, leather jackets and graphic tees. The overall look is attention-grabbing and effortlessly cool.
Fashion Tip: Since these bottoms can be quite bold, compliment them with more muted and less loud tops.
