Metallic lipsticks are one of the biggest trends of the moment, and it's not hard to tell why -- after all, what objection could one possibly have to the concept of gilded lips? They're glamorous, ultra-modern, and completely and satisfyingly shiny. When you think about it, it's kind of like special effects for your most alluring feature -- so you can bet it's a surefire way to amp up any look.

Nothing screams, "good hair day," like a spectacular salon blowout. And while we'd like to consistently schedule those weekly hair appointments, our budget doesn't always allow it. Even more unfortunate, blow-drying our hair at home just doesn't ever seem to come out the same, even if we've become a master at wielding that dryer. So, why can't you get those same salon-worthy strands at home? Most likely, your issues lie with the fact that you're using a subpar blow dryer. but why spend so much money on a hair dryer when the cheaper options are so much, well, cheaper?

Let's be honest — when it comes to hair products, our favorites are always the ones that smell the best. You know, the dry shampoos and hair oils we reach for every single time just to catch another addictive whiff.

It doesn't matter if it's $5 or $50: When something works, it works. Still, we would be remiss not to acknowledge the joy, the satisfaction, the swell of pride -- not to mention the money saved -- that comes with finding truly incredible beauty products for less than the price of a cold-pressed juice. Now that feeling is akin to the makeup lover's nirvana.

Each season, we go backstage at New York Fashion Week to scope out the hottest hairstyles, makeup looks and manicures. We interview the hairstylists, makeup artists and nail experts creating the looks we'll all be wearing six months from now.
