Motions has launched a new collection of hair care products. The brand focused on healthy color treated hair with a set of cleansers and conditioners. For an intense treatment, ladies can also purchase the deep conditioning masque for all hair types.
From my experience with Motions Treat & Repair products, the shampoo helps to retain moisture without completely drying out my hair. The conditioner works wonders (after washing) making my hair much softer than before. I also want to share that both products smell great throughout my wash and a few days afterwards. It was clear that a professional product was used on my tresses.
That’s a tip we can’t forget; there’s a lot of hair products out there but are they professional or salon quality? Trust me ladies, that makes a difference in the health, styling, and growth of your hair. Although it’s easy to grab a $3 dollar masque while picking up medicine, love your hair and help it to look it’s best.
Motions products can be purchased at your local beauty supply store.

From my personal experience of using the body wash, the fragrance is very soft (feminine) and doesn’t overpower the senses.

The nail polish you already love just got better! Millions of women know that Sally Hansen® Insta-Dri™ nail polish gives them a quick-drying, high-shine manicure that lasts. Now, an improved formula delivers extended wear and enhanced shine — still with the one stroke, one coat convenience that has made Insta-Dri™ a cult favorite since 2009.
Insta-Dri’s three-in-one formula combines base coat, color, and top coat in one bottle, making it even easier to have a glossy manicure in a minute. It dries in just 60 seconds, creating full-coverage color and shine without the wait.
Along with an improved formula, Insta-Dri™ also features 14 new, must-have shades that incorporate the season’s standout runway trends. Rich chocolate and champagne add cashmere-like coziness to any manicure. Or go bold with fiery tones of red and orange — three different hues allow you to turn up the intensity as much as you like. Lilac, cherry, and plum tap into fall’s purple moment, while blue and teal provide a cooling effect. Meanwhile, the season’s new neutrals (think: the inkiest black, steel gray) are the nails’ answer to Normcore. These anything-but-boring basics prove that colors don’t need to shout to stand out. And with 40 total fast-drying shades to choose from, there’s no shortage of variety.
Even the appearance of Insta-Dri™ is getting a boost. A new, sleek logo freshens up the packaging for a more contemporary style — a fitting look for a nail polish made for today’s on-the-go pace.

The New York Times bestselling must-read, THE TEEN VOGUE HANDBOOK: An Insider’s Guide to Careers in Fashion (Razorbill; 9781595142610; on sale November 28, 2014; $24.95), now with 90% new content and updated for the digital age.
Since its launch in 2003, Teen Vogue has provided teens with the very best coverage of fashion, celebrities, entertainment, and features. THE TEEN VOGUE HANDBOOK offers interviews, profiles, and advice about how to break into this constantly evolving industry. This essential guide for anyone interested in fashion is now better than ever. The expanded edition is chock-full of brand-new photos, profiles of newcomers, descriptions of digital jobs, and up-to-the-minute career advice. It’s the ultimate behind-the scenes look at the designers, stylists, photographers, models, makeup artists, writers, and bloggers who run the industry.
THE TEEN VOGUE HANDBOOK features profiles of Jenna Lyons; Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen; Pamela Love; Warby Parker; Michelle Phan; Sophia Amoruso; Robin Givhan; Chanel Iman, and many more stylists, photographers, and major players. The all-new section on digital careers includes advice straight from editor-in-chief Amy Astley and the staff of Teen Vogue on how to grown an online brand and make a fashion statement! This edition covers changes in the fashion landscape that include bloggers and street style, and also includes a free one-year subscription to Teen Vogue.
My Review:
I have been a fan of Teen Vogue for several years. The magazine provides the latest in fashion, celebrity style, and entertainment. The Teen Vogue Handbook is the perfect extension of the brand because it gives an insiders guide to careers in fashion. I suggest this book for up and coming fashion professionals as well as those working in the industry.
The handbook is divided into content chapters according to careers such as Designers, Editors, Digital, Stylist, Models, Beauty, and Photographers. Of course I turned to the Digital chapter first, which features media moguls such as Leandra Medine, Natalie Massenet, Michelle Phan, Sophia Amoruso, and Robin Givhan to name a few.
In addition, The Teen Vogue Handbook shares how to start a career in fashion and the daily responsiblities associated with each job. For example, designer Jenna Lyons shares “one day is never the same as the next; there are so many pieces and parts. Most of the time, I go from one meeting to the next and don’t really get a break in between ” (Astley, 41.)
The handbook ends with the Career chapter giving tips on how to apply for internships, create a resume, social networking, and dressing to impress. The Teen Vogue Handbook is a must read for the fashion intern or brand account manager. Fashion is constantly changing and one must stay abreast of the latest trends (beyond accessories and style.) Anna Wintour stated, “people have to go to school, learn their craft, and build a brand – that’s the right, healthy way to do things. If you’re an overnight sensation, you can be yesterday’s news in no time, whereas building something slowly and carefully that has value and quality, that’s what’s going to have legs” (Astley, 114.)

For the last three years I have made an attempt to purchase a Spa Sonic Pro Skin Care System. This professional face and body polisher was a priority because I’ve seen wonderful results in magazines and blogs. To my surprise (and excitement) I was able to test this product for the first time last night!
I opened the package and received a total of 5 attachments that connects to the waterproof device. As previously stated, yes…this product is waterproof and can be used in the shower, bath, or sink. The Spa Sonic Pro Skin Care System was a major plus (and not just because this is a product review) for various reasons. Number one, the speed of the skin care system was appropriate for use on your face, legs, or feet. Number two, its battery operated which means there’s no need to charge the device prior to use. Number three, the size of the Spa Sonic Skin Care System is suitable and not heavy in weight.
I decided to use my Spa Sonic Skin Care System with Pevonia Skin Care Products and received great results. My face felt smooth and hydrated with the appearance of leaving a day spa. Overall, I suggest this product to anyone that’s incorporating a new skin care regimen and looking for a product that’s affordable and easy to use.
Spa Sonic is hosting the following deals through the holiday season:
Nov 1st – Dec 30th: $39.99 (Reg $74.99)
Dec 7th – Dec 31st $49.99 (Reg $74.99)
It’s no secret that the new collections and upcoming trends take center stage at New York Fashion Week. However, the beauty looks seen on the runways are statement-making in their own right and set the stage for trends to follow. To achieve the perfect look, it is key for stylists to turn to key trusted products. Here are a few items that they can’t live without during Fashion Week:
Supersmile Quikee: Let’s not forget about one of the most important accessories for a model: her smile! This pocket-sized, no brush/no rinse whitening tooth polish, now with more whitening power and a fresh icy mint flavor, effectively removes stains, significantly whitens teeth and freshens breath. Perfect for a backstage smile tune-up, the Quikee ensures all models are ready for their close-up! ($18.00 at supersmilestore.com)
Jane Iredale Zap & Hide Blemish Concealer: This dual-ended stick conceals and calms breakouts. Zap is a clear Blemish Balm packed with anti-inflammatory botanicals that may be used as a spot treatment day or night. Hide is a highly pigmented Blemish Concealer that camouflages imperfections and any post-breakout redness. ($26, shop.janeiredale.com)
G.M. Collin Anti-Aging Instant Radiance Eye Patches: Provides quick relief from tired, stressed out eyes, and immediately reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, puffiness and fatigue. Place one pad over each eye in between shows or in a cab when headed to event. The unique mixture of active ingredients sink into the skin, leaving the eye area hydrated and rejuvenated. The ultimate 20-minute vacation for eyes! ($50, GMCollin.com and Spa Locations)
Sebamed Hand & Nail Balm: A great way to keep hands hydrated and a longer lasting manicure. Developed by dermatologists, this mild, deep-moisturizing formula relieves dry, chapped hands and naturally maintains the strength of nails against breakage, while keratin promotes natural firmness and elasticity. Apply before, during and after each show to keep hands soft throughout fashion week! ($12.99, SebamedUSA.com)
