Yearly Pantone declarations be damned; it’s time we create our own annual colour scheme. My vote for 2014 may be a bit biased. After spending an inordinate amount of time binge-watching Orange is the New Black, my sights are set on orange. After all, October is the month of pumpkin-based indulgence, so it’s quite fitting to bestow orange as the colour of the season.
It’s important to note that wearing orange does not have to be a fear-filled occasion. Use it as an accent to bring a bit of brightness to the dreary fall days.

Who says you can’t bend the rules? It’s easy to enter into Oompa-Loompa territory with orange beauty products. So take a side step towards coral. It combines pink and orange tones to create a flattering shade for a variety of skin types. The best thing about this blush: it’s crème texture. It glides on smooth and avoids the cakey look that some powder blushes provide.

Now that the weather is taking a turn for the frosty, a good moisturizer is a must-have. This lotion is equipped with fair trade shea butter, so you can nourish your body and your conscience.
