A few of my beauty blogging friends will be in attendance for the inaugural edition of Milwaukee Fashion Week Oct. 2-6.  The theme is "grow where you are planted". 

Speaking at the event will be Lianne of The Makeup Girl, Shannon of A Girl's Gotta Spa, and Christine of Temptalia.

There are plenty of events planned including a Couture Runway Experience with makeup by Billy B., hair by

Syd Curry and fashions by Gilles Montezin.  Billy and Syd will also be doing keynotes and workshops the entire time. SOunds like a ton of fun. Good news if you are in the area, there is a  discount code for 25% off tickets at checkout with the code FASHIONABLE.

Tarte Lip Couture Lipstick Set.

The perfect companion to their Eye Couture Palette, Tarte's Lip Couture is another must-have for Fall.

I am loving that lipstick is back in a big way, and how about experiencing four of these beauties plus a neutral lip liner shade, all in a gorgeous purple quilted box.

These silky lipsticks are formulated to adhere to lips and prevent fading while Tarte's exclusive proprietary t5 super fruit complex helps keep lips soft and smooth. The tarte t5 super fruit complex is a proprietary blend of the five most active superfruits: goji, acai, maracuja, acerola and pomegranate. The first blend of its kind, the t5 super fruit complex is loaded with naturally occurring, antioxidant rich nutrients and vitamins that have been known to deliver refining, anti-aging and skin-restorative benefits with each application.

The lipsticks come in the following shades: aura (deep brick red), eden (nude beige), paradise (sheer peachy-nude) and utopia (warm mauve berry).

Shop TarteCosmetics.com or Sephora to pick up this limited edition for $32.

Get Dirty with Jonathan!

Jonathan who, you ask? Well, I am speaking of none other than famed hair stylist Jonathan Antin - sexy thing that he is!

He has a great new kit for the gals who like their hair to look like second day hair on the first day. This would probably be me! My hair is very fine and thin and I really need to wash it everyday, or it becomes limp, lifeless and too weighed down. I do notice, though, that more times than not, my hair looks pretty darn good on the second day after washing - if I could only get it to stay that way throughout the day.

The Get Dirty kit includes not only the best-selling Dirt Texturizing Paste that the whole kit was based upon, but it also contains the new Spray Dirt Texture Hold Hairspray and the new Detox Dirt Clarifying Shampoo. (Where is the conditioner?)

At $30, this kit looks to be a winner. Let me know if you have tried it yet, as I can't wait to give it a try once I get my Sephora order together. Also, let me know how you prefer your hair - on the day of washing or the day after?
