In Fashion on November 10, 2010 at 5:41 pm

Autumn is my favorite season for many reasons but mainly because I love curling up in cozy sweaters, mittens and chunky scarves! There is just something so refreshing about stepping outside int he crisp air, smelling burning wood in the distance and snuggling deeper into my warm sweater! This holiday season is the perfect time time to pick up adorable sweaters and cold weather items for you and your loved ones.

Ditch Drab Skin

In Beauty on November 9, 2010 at 4:19 pm

Autumn and winter can wreck havoc on our delicate skin leaving us dull, parched and in dire need of a facial. Beat those winter skin (and aging) blues with Kinerase’s Restructure Firming Cream. This cream claims to visibly transforms contours with elastin to deliver a dramatically resilient, more youthful look. Skin is deeply moisturized, contours are lifted and toned, and expression wrinkles are visibly erased and smoothed.

This cream was also voted as one of Allure’s Best of Beauty – best creams.

Buy It: Nordstrom
Cost: $98.00

Don’t like to spend almost $100 bucks on face cream, try Garnier Nutritioniste Moisture Rescue Refreshing Gel-Cream, which is good for oily skin but also only costs $6.99.

Sexy Bedhead

Give hair a break from your shampoo, rinse, and repeat routine. Get sexy bedhead hair (like Giselle) the day after washing with a couple simple steps!

Use a dry shampoo to zap up oils, build volume, and add body to roots. Umberto Dry Shampoo initially sprays on white, but it blends easily and works on any hair color.

Moisturize and reshape wavy to kinky curly hair with Curl Reviving Tonic from Beautiful Curls. No more frizz and matted hair from pressing sheets. This lightweight spritz refreshes hair’s natural curl pattern while lightly conditioning locks.

With the help of a couple easy-to-use products, your hair will look even sexier the day after you wash and style.

Umberto Dry Shampoo

You’ll look forward to your cleansing, toning, and moisturizing routine from the first time you experience the toner’s rose aroma. This organic damask toner removes the last traces of makeup and surface grime without drying. It’s just heavenly.
