Fall is Here - and so are New Shiraleah Bags

Just got in lots of shapes and sizes of Shiraleah bags in a wide range of gorgeous fall colors.

Shiraleah's collection of polyurethane bags says that nothing needs to die for the sake of fashion. Designed to look like leather, this animal-friendly polyurethane material is safer to produce and healthier to carry as there is minimal toxic output during production compared to leather tanning. The material is also biodegradable in 10 years, ensuring an eco-friendly lifecycle for each bag. And the bags hold everything you need and can be easily wiped clean. Shiraleah's vegan leather items are perfect for everyone who is concerned about the social and environmental impact of the products they buy.

Lavishy Just In

Very cute new wallets (large and small) and coin purses in a wide range of colors just in from Lavishy. These have the look of leather, but they're cruelty-free faux leather made of 30% recycled materials. The large wallet shown from the Akina Collection has an inside zipper pocket, ID pocket, card slots, and a cash folder.

Make Me Over!

If you're anything like me you love make-up and color but haven't a clue when it comes to knowing whether you have blue or yellow undertones, the difference between matte and powder finishes, or what color palette best brings out your eyes.

Well, now there's help for the clueless (but the clued-in are welcome as well). Join us at Ethique Nouveau on Thursday, October 14 from 6:30 to 8:30pm for our Fall Colors Makeup Event. Come and get your make-up done and learn about your coloring and what make-up colors work best for you.

Erica Allenburg, an industry expert from Arbonne, will be on hand to guide you through the process and answer all those make-up questions you've been dying to ask. You can order Arbonne make-up through Ethique Nouveau now; proceeds benefit ARC's animal advocacy programs. Do good for the animals and look good doing it!
