<br />
Autumn may be my favorite season--and not just because color abounds and warm coffee is that much more satisfying. Fall evokes bold change in the form of beautiful, vivid leaves. This makes it the perfect time to emulate nature's beauty on the lips. Many of my New York City makeup clients love to wear an edgy lip this time of year. Whether you're a nude lipstick kind of gal or someone who rocks red, red port on your pout, it's imperative to give your lips the TLC they so deserve for a lasting, wearable, smooth finish from morning till night.<br />
<br />
Revel in soft lips with the following beauty tips:<br />
<br />
<b>Protect your pout.</b><br />
<br />
We cleanse, tone, moisturize, and shield our skin from sun damage on a daily basis, so it can be easy to forget to keep our lips shielded from the sun too. One of the best ways to keep sun damage and chapped lips at bay is by using a lip balm with SPF during the day. One of my favorite products for soft lips and added protection is Maybelline's Baby Lips SPF 20.<br />
<br />
<b>Exfoliate flaky skin.</b><br />
<br />
No one likes a flake... It can be tempting to pick dry skin on the lips leading to raw, irritated skin. Rather than pick at dry bits, I recommend exfoliating dead skin cells for a clean, polished look. I was recently sent REACH Complete Care brushes with triple angle bristle technology. Not only do these brushes make a great tool for exfoliating the lips, but the package of two allows one for lips and one for teeth to ensure a beautiful smile from inside and out.<br />

<br />
<b>Prepare your lips.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
When it comes to makeup, it's all about the prep work. Laying down product over skin that hasn't been cared for will never lead to the best results. When beginning your makeup routine, use a nourishing lip balm first. Before applying liner or lipstick, blot off the excess. Voila! Smooth, satiny lips that are plump and ready to absorb product evenly and beautifully.<br />

Fall may be a few short summer sunsets away, but that doesn’t
mean your skin won’t need nourishment under those pants and long sleeves. Recently, Fake
Bake sent me a sample of their new Oil-Free Mistifier body spray moisturizer. This gentle and enriching spray moisturizer has
been a great addition to my beauty arsenal, especially during quick mornings before a big makeup gig. I love that it comes out in an even
and light mist that can be used daily. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Gone are the days of globs of moisturizer smeared between
fingers from a too-generous tube squeeze. <b>Aloe</b>, <b>Ginger</b>, <b>Green Tea</b>, and <b>Vitamin E</b>
culminate to offer superbly soft, silky smooth skin. I can
appreciate the gentle application, which can be customized to suit dry, oily, and in-between skin types. The bottle contains four ounces of product and is small enough to tote daily in a purse. For the ultimate user-friendly experience, be sure to hold the can at least eight inches away from your skin and spray in long even strokes. This product can be rubbed in with the hands, and those who wish to use it as a face moisturizer can apply it to the face with a sponge. </div>

For a long time, my naturally coarse and frizzy hair was severely abused from clip-in hair extensions. It’s no exaggeration that I wore my beloved clip-ins five days a week for a little over a year. It was a catch 22 at its finest: what transformed my hair to bombshell status was also slowly but surely destroying it. As time went on, my hair became so damaged that I thought it unsalvageable. </div>

When I was just about to throw in the towel, reach for a buzzer and pull a Britney Spears (circa 2007), a girlfriend suggested I try the line to see what it could do for my hair. I’m a pamper junkie, so I nearly salivated when I first caught a glimpse of the mask and read the label. I couldn’t wait to saturate my poor, wretched strands with it and treat them to an "ooh ahh" moment. When I first opened each of the bottles and jars, a delicious fruity scent filled the air. Now I literally salivated.</div>

Over a period of two weeks, I used the whole sha-bang: shampoo, conditioner, hair mask and leave-in treatment from the <a href="http://www.nunaat.com/productline/naat-treatment-repair-care-with-acai-berry-and-keratin/" target="_blank">Treatment Repair Care with Acai Berry and Keratin</a>. I can honestly testify that I went from hair-horrified to hair-happy. I was also excited to use products that contain protein-rich keratin and antioxidant-packed acai berry. My hair now looks and feels noticeably softer and touchable. The bonus is that it left my hair smelling intoxicatingly yummy.<br />
<br />
Since then, I've put the clip-ins aside and felt much more confident wearing my natural hair!<br />

After all, what's better than a day where you can snuggle up at home and learn about gentle and effective products that <i>work</i>?<br />
<br />
If I'm going to be completely honest with you, and I always am, I have to tell you that I'm one of the unfortunate ones when it comes to sweat--and if I'm nervous, God help the lady who's stuck sitting next to me.<br />
<a href="http://www.naturallyfreshdeodorantcrystal.com/sites/www.naturallyfreshdeodorantcrystal.com/files/imagecache/product/blue-trans_0.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.naturallyfreshdeodorantcrystal.com/sites/www.naturallyfreshdeodorantcrystal.com/files/imagecache/product/blue-trans_0.png" /></a><br />
Well, not anymore!<br />
<br />
I found a great product from <a href="http://www.naturallyfreshdeodorantcrystal.com/naturally-fresh-deodorant-crystal-blue-twist-up-stick-w-aloe-vera-425-oz-120-grams" target="_blank">Naturally Fresh</a> that's portable, lasts exceptionally long, and doesn't leave streaks or stains on my blouses. This gentle solid of natural Mineral Salts and Aloe Vera is activated by running the top under water for a second or simply spritzing it with water, just enough to make it slick. Then, it glides on smooth and keeps sweat and unattractive odors at bay. While I wear it, I feel confident, dry and protected.<br />
<br />
After using it for awhile, I decided to buy a few of them and keep them in different places like my car, office desk, purse and bathroom. You see this product does help with sweat, but it doesn't help with forgetfulness. Convenient, affordable, and effective.<br />
<br />
I can't get enough, so I give it 5 stars!!!!!<br />
<br />
<br />

As a busy beauty writer and eyebrow artist, it's no surprise that my neck and upper back muscles are often tired and sore. When I was sent <a href="http://www.zimsusa.com/pain-relief/max-freeze-gel/" target="_blank">Zim's Max-Freeze Gel</a> and <a href="http://www.zimsusa.com/pain-relief/max-freeze-roll-on/" target="_blank">Zim's Max-Freeze Roll On</a>, I couldn't wait to give them a try. Both went on smoothly and left behind a cooling sensation that eased the tense feeling in my neck, shoulders and back. I would recommend the roll-on version for those who want an easier application without having to wash your hands, since you just roll it onto the necessary muscles and joints that need some cooling therapy and go about your day. The tube has to be applied by hand and then you must wash your hands thoroughly after. Both worked very well to soothe and cool, and they retail for just $9.99.</div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Beauty
begins on the inside. That’s what I tell myself every morning when I crawl out
of bed, care for my skin and make a wholesome breakfast. If not for beauty, every
day I would be very tempted to eat those sugary cereals with tiny marshmallows
shaped like hearts and rainbows.</span></div>

food cravings aside, I know that along with eating healthy it’s also crucial to
stay moisturized internally by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Keeping
your skin hydrated, and feeding it nutritious foods, are two key factors in how
great your complexion will look. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

coincide with your skincare regimen, be sure to incorporate into your diet a
healthy portion of antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins—all of which
will help your natural beauty radiate from the inside out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

That's why I've put together a few of my favorite things, the online edition!<br>
