Without a doubt, our bodies are constantly exposed to so many chemicals in our personal care products, home cleaners and environment. And as women, we may be sustaining even more damage from toxins and chemicals. Our skin soaks in everything...the good and the bad. Everything from soaps, lotions, make up, lipstick, mascara, eye shadow, toothpaste, hair care products are known to harbor toxic chemicals. Yet, no one does anything to ban or stop the use of such things. The FDA doesn't even regulate the ingredients in cosmetics. 

Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, cosmetic products and ingredients do not require FDA approval before they go on the market. 

Natural Cosmetics Are Safer and Effective

Signature Styles here in Montpelier, VT continues to delve deep into the subject of organic makeup and natural cosmetics because we believe in providing our clients with the information and education they need to be better informed along with excellent, safe and effective beauty products.

We are enthused to offer our clients the two newest “Green” beauty cosmetic lines by Ecobrow, and Hynt Beauty.

Hynt Beauty

Natural, Toxin-Free & Skin-Healthy Luxury Makeup & Skin Care Collection

Hynt Beauty products are formulated with organic ingredients wherever possible, and are all vegan except for the mascara, which uses beeswax so as not to compromise the stunning finish and efficacy that we promise across all of our products. Formulated with organic ingredients that are rich in antioxidants, extracts and oils that hydrate, soothe and rejuvenate the skin, what we choose to put into our skin-perfecting formulas is just as important to us as what we choose not to include. Hynt is non-comedogenic and free of toxins, gluten, parabens, silicone and talc as well as animal cruelty-free (PETA approved). There are no GMOs, FD&C dyes (except for in the ARIA Lipstick in Red Fervor), carmines, phthalates, irritating bismuth oxychloride, or nanoparticles used in any of the formulations. We do not use artificial preservatives, and instead tap into the potent natural antimicrobial and antibacterial powers of herbs, plants and flowers.

EcoBrow by Marco Ochoa

The unique EcoBrow formula blends and diffuses easily into the brow hair, and contains silica for oil absorption as well as nourishing Vitamin E. The intensity of each shade can be controlled easily with the application — you can go as light or dark as you’d like.

Sweet Summer!  Finally, we're here and hopefully enjoying all that summer has to bring. There are parties, get-togethers, weddings, reunions, cookouts and a myriad of other events. With all the events and trips or vacations we engage in during these gorgeous months of summer, we want to look our best.

Signature Styles in Montpelier, VT has the collection of makeup you've been looking for. Alima Pure brings you  products that are free of parabens, sulfates, synthetic dyes, phthalates, dimethicone, petroleum, talc, bismuth oxychloride, and nanoparticles.They’re absolutely never tested on animals.

Did you know there are perfect summer eyeshadow palettes for every skin tone and eye color? Are you using the best colors to enhance your eyes and give you that beautiful, fresh look you love?

Our extraordinary new line of makeup from Alima Pure has just the colors, shades and excitement that you dream of. In Alima Pure's Blog article (Our Go-To Summer Eyeshadow Looks) there are some very helpful tips on getting your summer colors right the first time.

Alima Pure Eyeshadow Options

With a few shades of Pressed Eyeshadow and Eye Primer, you can create plenty of looks that are equal parts interesting and flattering.These are our go-to summer eye makeup looks, and we recommend them for any and all of your upcoming summer occasions (i.e. music festivals, checking out the new brunch spot, or your fourth wedding of the season):

Your goal: To dabble in bold color

Siren: Yes, we know that fuchsia can be a bold choice as an eyeshadow--but trust us--it’s incredibly flattering, and really brings out the color of your eyes. Apply it in a sheer wash with the Allover Shadow Brush, or build it up with Eye Primer for extra drama with the Contour Shadow Brush.

Cosmic: The gray undertones of this dusty sky blue make your eye color richer, and warmer, and a little flash of color adds some edginess to your look. Cosmic can be super subtle and blended out, or fully embraced with Eye Primer. We love it as a liner on the outer half of our lower lashlines.

Your goal: To try a fresh take on a classic look

Luxe: This golden copper shade is a universally-flattering metallic, and a team favorite. We love it as eyeliner, we love it as a highlight on deep skin with warm undertones, and we love it in just a soft wash over the lids, with a hint of a Bardot-inspired wing at the outer edge.

Myth: It's ideal for those wanting to rock a smoky eye in the summer, and also wanting to wear a fun color. Myth is also a sneaky universal flatterer with its golden-green pigment, building and blending beautifully with additional layers.

Your goal: To find something easy, versatile, and neutral

Isla: Our go-to shade for a less-is-more neutral that brightens and gives a low-key highlight. Isla can go anywhere and everywhere for a little bit of radiance without drawing too much attention to itself. Isla is recommended for keeping in your purse and applying quickly with your fingertips for a glowy touchup. We’ll be wearing it with Lip Tint in Daisy to channel Reese Witherspoon’s look in Big Little Lies all summer.

Heat damage is the enemy of progress in the natural hair community. No curly girl ever wants to hear that her hair has heat damage.

When I was relaxed, I put heat on my hair every single day. I had no idea that I was damaging my hair by doing this. Now that I look back, it wasn’t the best idea to be treating my hair this way, which is why my hair would never retain length past a certain point. My hair was brittle and would always break off. Now I seldom use heat and always apply a heat protectant when blow-drying my hair to prevent heat damage. I also never flat iron or straighten my hair myself; I only go to my stylist for that service.

People often ask me if heat damage can be reversed. I’ve heard so many tips and tricks on how to possibly reverse heat damage from using beer on your hair to protein treatments to revert your curls. To answer your questions, we spoke with one of my favorite stylists, Nadling Pollard of Salon Pressure in Chicago, to ask her all about heat damage.

What causes heat damage?

Pollard: “Heat damage is caused when a person uses heat styling tools that are either too hot or repeatedly uses heat styling tools on the same section of hair. If you use very high heat settings such as 400-450 degrees, then you should only press the hair a maximum of two times. Thermal styling your hair midweek can also cause heat damage, which is why it should be avoided. I advise my clients that if they need to use heat again during the week, pick one day midweek when they feel they need to look a particular way or style to use heat and don’t do it again. Using minimal to no heat during the week will help to avoid heat damage while styling at home.”

Can heat damage be reversed?

Pollard: “Heat damage can be addressed if it’s not too severe. When the cuticle layer of the hair strand is scorched or overdressed, it won’t curl up as if it were untouched. Some of the curls can be revived if the over processing is minimal. This can be done through professional protein treatments, but know that this process may not fix your hair completely. If you still have stringy bits of hair that won’t curl, then you will eventually have to cut them off.”

What is “heat training?”

Pollard: “Heat training” can happen without scorching or singeing the hair but must be done by a very thoughtful and careful stylist. Heat training is the loosening of one’s natural curl pattern through the regular application of heat. It will require some consecutive visits to your local professional and you should take a break by getting a set style to renew your curl pattern.”

Loosening the curl pattern by repeatedly using heat is just another form of heat damage, even if the popular term is "heat training." I have never tried it, but everyone is different and some curly girls have done this and liked the results.
