Let’s face it ladies, we enjoy experimenting with new looks for the seasons, so why should this winter be any different? Covergirl has put together fresh new looks for this season on their website, www.covergirl.com, including the Velvet Vixen look. Sweep the Tapestry Taupe, a nude shimmery color, eye shadow across your lids and top it off with black Covergirl Lash Perfection mascara. The lips are always essential to color this season, so add on some Vixen Blast Flipstick lip color to those lips and prepare for heads to turn your way!
Nails, check! Makeup, check! What’s left? Hair of course! The dry months of winter can dry out your hair as well as cause breakage, split ends, static messes and hair loss. It’s extremely important to nourish your locks during the harsh winter. Luckily, there are many great and affordable nourishing shampoos and conditioners on the market. Garnier Fructis developed the Fall Fight line which prevents hair loss as well as nourishes the hair. Try a leave-in conditioning cream like Garnier’s Sleek & Shine Leave-In Conditioner for smooth, sleek and soft hair. Having problems picking out a new shampoo? Visit www.garnierusa.com and take the Garnier Fructis Quiz to find out what product best works for your hair.
To compliment your silky hair, try out new styles and hair accessories this season. If you have long hair and want to spice up your look, try cutting some heavy bangs to add a bit of an edge to your do. If you have short hair, try adding some soft waves or curls for a cute, sophisticated look. Hair pins are always a fun accessory to add to your hair. Try adding pins with metallic sparkles in your hair for an effortless and classy look.
