Current Trends -

Go Nude--Less is more-at least for lips this season. While eyes are going to be played up, lips are staying true to its natural hue. Go nude-in a good way-with a natural lip pencil that provides a "barely there" look.

White Out--White nail polish was seen all over during New York Fashion Week. Celebs such as Rachel Zoe and Paris Hilton have been completing their famous looks with white nail polish. Try Essie's Nail Enamel in Blanc for a bold statement.

In the News -

Toss Out Those Ugly Preservatives--Preservatives are frequently talked about in regards to food, but did you know that most makeup contains preservatives as well? A new study shows scientists are aiming to wipe out preservatives with a new packaging closure method. This means that people with sensitive skin or certain allergies won't have to worry about breakouts and reactions. The downside? Without preservatives makeup could spoil within a few weeks.

Eat to be Beautiful--Cosmetic companies are paying attention to this emerging market as a larger audience becomes interested in "beauty foods." Beauty foods are "indigestible products that deliver beauty benefits." Will you be eating any foods to stay beautiful?
