The New York Spring Fashion show was last week. I couldn’t help but follow the fashion show news and pour over the Style section of the New York Times. Having spent a couple of years in the beauty industry working in marketing for L’Oreal, I have a love for both fashion and beauty products. For a marketer, making it into the beauty industry was a dream. I loved the photo shoots for the latest hair care product and all the free samples of L’Oreal makeup! The winter weather continues here in MA as in other parts of the country and what better way to make you feel better than a little pampering. Here are a few beauty home remedies that will make you look fantastic but will not hurt your wallet!
