Top 3 Beauty Trends for Fall

The weather may be getting colder, but the fall beauty trends are sizzling hot. As I mentioned before, London Fashion Week 2009 runways were awash with shades of grey. So where are we supposed to get our edginess this season?

The Pixie Haircut

Short haircuts are usually synonymous with breezy, summer days. And they also served a practical purpose as well since, historically, long heavy frocks were shed during the warmer seasons. But celebrities such as Victoria Beckham and Rihanna were showing edgy new dos that prove that short hair is back in!

Matte Nail Polish

It’s such a strange concept, but matte nail polish is definitely in this fall as the must have beauty item. Matte nail polish is exactly as it sounds—nail polish color without the quintessential glossy sheen. The result is a deeper, richer color with a velvety finish. Some great shades for this fall are matte black nail polish, matte indigo nail polish and matte grey nail polish. The OPI matte nail polish collection features a wide range of autumn appropriate colors with fun names like Russian Navy and You Don’t Know Jacques.

Golden Eyes

An easy way to add a pop of color to your otherwise drab fall attire is to lightly swipe your lids with a sparkly, metallic eyeshadow. We’ve been seeing a lot of neutral and grey lids, but color lovers will never be satisfied with a monotone palette. Try a gold eyeshadow like the Estee Lauder Signature Eyeshadow Quad in Gold, Nars Duo Cream Eyeshadow in sheer platinum and sheer gold or Cargo’s Mediterranean Nights Palette. Make your eyes pop this fall!

The ache of acne (pimples)

Acne is often the bane of a pretty face. It is painful more emotionally than physically, for the scar that it leaves behind can last for a lifetime, adding to one’s miserable look & feeling. No doubt many expensive skin care clinics have mushroomed in ever nook & corner, offering to clear all the scars & blemishes on the face, but they are very expensive & charge exorbitant price for each sitting; not everyone can afford them. So why not try out this simple skin care regimen to minimize the damage caused by acne & as far as possible prevent its eruption.

Aspirin for acne-prone skin

Aspirin has been around for a long time and its health benefits are wide and varied. Aspirin , or acetylsalicylic acid is a salicylate drug, often used as an analgesic to relieve minor aches and pains , as an antipyretic to reduce fever , and as an anti-inflammatory medication. Aspirin's greatest benefit is reducing cardiovascular events including heart attacks and strokes. According to the American Heart Assoc. virtually all women are at risk of heart disease and doctors should more strongly consider prescribing a daily aspirin for their female patients. There is growing evidence to suggest regular aspirin use may reduce cancer and dementia as well. Investigators from the Women's Health Study have reported important new findings demonstrating that aspirin reduces the risk of a first stroke in women. When given to someone immediately after a heart attack, aspirin decreases death by 25%.
