Rethinking Shaving with the Schick Quattro For Women TrimStyle

by Julia DiNardo

It’s powerful enough for the guys, but designated specifically for us. The Schick Quattro For Women TrimStyle (available at mass merchants nationwide for $10.99) provides a waterproof, battery-powered trimmer with an adjustable comb on one end, and a four-blade razor on the other. The contoured handle and pivoting head make it an ample choice to use wherever you most frequently shave without having to do a balancing act in the shower. Accompanied by the Skintimate Signature Scents in Flirty Mango with olive butter, Vitamin E and Pro-Vitamin B5, it provided a quick and easy, smooth shave, with a blade that doesn’t rust, so feel free to leave it in the shower on its provided hanger.

Nourish Your [Fashion] Palette

by fashion pulse contributor

When craving inspiration, I really find that I can draw on almost anything around me. With the cooler temperatures coming and the gorgeous harvest accompanying it, fall foods and foliage have become my newest muse. Thus, my latest creative endeavor; mimicking my surroundings in my fashion/beauty choices.

Cranberries + Covetable Lipstick

This Nars Pure Matte Lipstick ($25) is an instant pick-me-up for the face. The matte finish is appropriate for the day, while ideally provides enough “oomph” for night. This berry hue is my favorite, but all 11 shades are certainly luscious.

Asos Tailored Belted Ponti Fit and Flare Skirt ($27.94)

Acorn Squash + Adorable Skirt

This mustardy-squash yellow is a great pop of color for fall. Work it in the same way you would a neutral beige for day or jazz it up at night with wedges and a chunky sweater. Either way, the flirty fit-and-flare look makes this skirt a must.

Nasty Gal Boulder Knit- Mocha ($48)

Hot Cocoa + Cozy Sweater

In much the same way that a steamy hot cocoa warms the soul, this mocha sweater from NastyGal.com imparts that super snugly vibe. Whether you prefer a Mocha Latte, Hot Chocolate, or even a Pumpkin Spice Latte, we can all agree that bulky knits and earth tones are simply perfect for Fall.

OPI “Touring America” Collection, Essie “Very Structured“, Deporah Lippman “Single Ladies“, and Chanel “Peridot“

Nature’s Leaves + Nails

Fall nail colors have shifted from summer’s brights. Auburns, khakis, mauves, apple-cidery shades– you could have a new tip tone for every week if so desired. Don’t forget a little shimmer! Fall’s lacquer collections really offer a variety of shades – statement or neutral.

Free People 2 Pocket Sheer Crop Top ($88)

Pumpkin Pie + Pretty Blouse

Mmm, pumpkin pie. Creamy and divine, every bite tastes like fall. This sheer cropped blouse is a functional, transitional piece as it gets a bit cooler. The best part? The flow of the blouse is as cozy as the comfort food it mimics.
