Street Style - Earth Girl

image
As the weather turns cooler in the coming weeks, it's time to bring out the layers and subdued tones.

Earth tones are versatile and make great layering pieces with just the right amount of color for the autumn weather.


We've turned to five of our favorite fashion bloggers to get their take on earth tones for fall.

Beauty Pick Me Up - Skin Flaws? Masque It!

image
Facial and spa treatments that we used to get at our favorite salon are now becoming more and more readily available in at-home versions.


One such beauty product that's effective and super simple to DIY is the facial mask. Whether it comes in mask or peel form, the facial mask is a quick way to rectify any skin type. You just have to know what to look for!


Well, that's where we come in. Check out our tips for the best type of facial mask for different skin types, then click on the slideshow to see some of our favorites!



Normal Skin - This is a simple one! For you, a facial mask should just be for maintenance and prevention. Look for moisturizing face masks chock full of vitamin C or anti-oxidants. Apply a face mask once every 2 weeks.



Oily Skin - Look for a clay mask or a facial peel that will mattify and control shine. Steer clear of anything that's super moisturizing as this can lead to even more shine. Try a mask once a week for optimum results!



Dry Skin - A facial mask once a week can do wonders for dry skin. Look for options that have vitamin E and are highly moisturizing. A quick tip for a little added hydration? Smooth on a dime sized amount of night cream after your done with the facial mask!
