Style

Are you looking to glam it up for a night on the town? Try adding a dash of red to your face for a red carpet-ready look with brassy yet classy lipsticks.

Although there are countless cosmetic companies peddling products to make women look and feel beautiful, there's nothing quite like red lipstick. And, these days, the more red the lips, the better!

If you're used to neutral shades, your first attempt at wearing red can be intimidating. How do you know which red lipstick is right for you?

Unfortunately, it all boils down to two words: trial and error. Grab a friend and hit the makeup counter at the nearest department store to start looking. The makeup experts there can help you find something that you like that will make your lips pop without being overpowering.

Pay attention to the different lipstick hues that are offered. Some cosmetic companies offer lipsticks with orange hues. Other lipsticks hues are darker shades of burgundy. Some may appear to look too bright, like the candy apple red shades that only look appropriate at Halloween. Additionally, you'll have to choose between a gloss, shimmer or matte look. Each will make the red appear slightly different, and either more -- or less -- appropriate for your face.

Bad hair days can make your entire day get started on the wrong note. For those curly-haired lasses who have considered getting a professional hair straightening treatment to tame those locks, there are a few things to keep in mind.

First, you'll need to find a reputable hair salon. Ask for referrals and call or visit salons to get the scoop. Hair salons and stylists set their own prices, which means that you could end up paying too much for a sub-par treatment. For instance, the Japanese or Brazililan straightening treatments are popular and work best on bulky hair that's typically hard to manage or extremely curly.

Regardless, whenever you have your hair straightened, your hair will be saturated with a chemical solution. Then, it will be rinsed, blow-dried and flat-ironed to achieve the ultimate sleek, straight look. The whole treatment can take quite a bit of time, and you will not be able to wash your hair for three days after.

Women praise the treatments because they are low maintenance. After your hair has been styled once, you don't need to invest in a lot of time or hair products to reduce the frizz. Don't...

 Moving on to clothing, tie-dyed t-shirts are en vogue right now. Although back in the day it wasn't uncommon for this fashion statement to include a peace sign or giant, canary yellow smiley face, designers like Michael Kors have incorporated a simple yet chic tie-dyed look into their collections.
