Throw the words “limited-edition” in front of the word “collection” if you want to see a mad scramble of ladies hot-footing it to the nearest luxe department store or it-boutique.
Limited-edition collections for makeup usually get released to the consumptive market around fall and holiday seasons because, quite simply, they make great gifts for someone, not to mention for yourself.

Q: It happens every year. Once summer fades and the weather transitions from balmy warm to chilly cold, my skin goes haywire — not particularly good for self-esteem. How can I calm my complexion and do some major climate damage control?

Matching shoes, clothes and handbags is a no-no when it comes to style. It’s just as huge a no-no to match eye shadow with lipstick and nail polish.
What isn’t forbidden, however, is to match makeup colors with the season, as in pairing up your nail color this Fall ‘09 with the autumnal palette outside. This means when tree leaves leaves morph into brown and flutter slowly to earth, brushing that same color onto nails is the perfect manicure homage to a season of scarves, warm coats, crisp air and pumpkin spiced lattes.
