However, you can also be allergic to your favorite beauty products or accessories for a number of reasons. While this might seem like bad news for anyone who's obsessed with all things beauty-related, it doesn't have to be. Consider four solutions for your beauty-related allergies.</span></p><h2><span style="font-weight:400;">Take a Thorough Test</span></h2><p><span style="font-weight:400;">There are some allergists who don't like to give thorough allergy tests because it can feel like opening up Pandora's box. However, it's a great idea to at least know what the strongest allergy is leaning towards. You might assume that you're allergic to gold and completely eliminate it from your closet. However, you might be nicket instead. If you're allergic to nickel, it's not only found in jewelry. It's found in smartphones, watches and fasteners. The more you know about your exact allergy, the easier it'll be to eliminate it from your home.</span></p><h2><span style="font-weight:400;">Look for Hypoallergenic Options</span></h2><p><span style="font-weight:400;">There are plenty of people suffering from allergies around the world. As a result, there are businesses who have responded to the need with hypoallergenic products in their stores. When you're a lover of beautiful handmade jewelry, you can opt for</span> <a href="https://illustratedlightgifts.com/handcrafted-hypoallergenic-ear-wear"><span style="font-weight:400;">handcrafted hypoallergenic ear wear</span></a> <span style="font-weight:400;">in order to appease your desire for beautiful jewelry while remaining protective of your skin and its specific sensitivity.</span></p><h2><span style="font-weight:400;">Invest in Quality and Purity</span></h2><p><span style="font-weight:400;">If you're a jewelry fanatic, it's best to invest in high-quality pieces made of real metals like gold and silver. You're less likely to have an allergic reaction. If you love tons of beauty products, invest in lines that don't have a long list of ingredients. When you're able to eliminate a long list of chemicals within a product, it'll be easier to enjoy it without a negative reaction.</span></p><h2><span style="font-weight:400;">Inquire about Fragrance-Free Options</span></h2><p><span style="font-weight:400;">For many people, the fragrance is the best part of a beauty product. Fragrances can be found in lipsticks, nail polishes and more. However, a fragrance can also cause irritation in many people. If you're sensitive or have an allergic reaction to fragrances in beauty products, opt for the fragrance-free option.</span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-weight:400;">Ultimately, you never want a piece of jewelry or a stunning red lipstick to place you in the hospital with an allergic reaction. Never opt to self-medicate with Benadryl in order to avoid a breakout. Instead, avoid the item that causes the allergies, utilize these solutions and enjoy new options that make you feel beautiful. It's often stated that beauty is pain. Don't make it more painful with a preventable allergic reaction.</span></p></div>Live Streaming on the Runwayhttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/profiles/blogs/live-streaming-on-the-runway2009-10-14T16:30:00.000Z2009-10-14T16:30:00.000ZMacala Wrighthttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/members/MacalaWright<div><img style="float:left;" src="http://fashionablymarketing.me/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/mcqueen1-200x300.jpg" alt="mcqueen1-200x300.jpg" />Maria Ogneva, in charge of Client & Community Services for FashionablyMarketing.Me, writes: A few announcements in the past couple of weeks have made me ponder the place that real-time social media plays in fashion events. During Toronto Fashion Week, all social media was forbidden during events and shows; organizers blamed weak ticket sales for this shortsighted decision.

By being able to stream quality video and encouraging shareability, McQueen is attempting to replace the low quality <a href="http://www.youtube.com/" target="_blank">YouTube</a> videos. Replacing lower quality, amateur style video is a smart decision because it:1. Lowers the barrier between the industry and consumers, everyone gets the same picture and preview; not some get it now and some get it after the fact.2. As consumers, we’re thrilled to watch an exclusive show in real time, as it shows the brand values our opinions, we are more likely to purchase it, especially if it’s available in a timely manner.3. We are watching and salivating over beautiful fashions in high-quality video, the way it’s meant to be seen, which preserves the brand equity as synonymous with haute couture and high quality.4. We love the experience so much that we will share the archives and blog / tweet about them. All of this is going to increases McQueen’s visibility, brand recognition and raising “cool points” with the Internet generation.Alexander McQueen Twitter Search Snapshot<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://fashionablymarketing.me/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Snapshot-2009-10-08-11-15-40.jpg" width="400" alt="Snapshot-2009-10-08-11-15-40.jpg" /></p>So what actually happened when McQueen streamed his show on Tuesday? <a href="http://twitter.com/ladygaga" target="_blank">LadyGaGa</a>, who has more than 1 million followers tweeted that her song “Bad Romance” was debuting at the show, and her fans essentially crashed the site. He made a great decision to make the show available for the <a href="http://alexandermcqueenlive.showstudio.com/" target="_blank">post-event playback</a>, and millions of people around the world were able to see it. However, the chatter surrounding the event and viewers’ reactions was incredible on <a href="http://twitter.com/" target="_blank">Twitter</a>. The screenshot to the left shows Twitter search results going 100 pages deep for just one day (to see the high-res image, just click the screenshot). Even though the reaction was varied, ranging from “McQueen is a visionary” to “McQueen hates women. Are we back to female foot binding?” In the end, McQueen succeeded in creating tremendous buzz by opening up his show to the “masses” in his attempt to democratize the world of fashion. <b>How McQueen could have made the experience even better:</b>The streaming interface was sorely missing community and sharing options. To really take the most advantage of the public’s attention, McQueen should’ve made sharing (the real time video and the archives) painfully easy; piggybacking on existing social network login credentials. Using existing credentials is very important, having to create a proprietary login account would slow down and maybe even prevent the ability and desire to share. Moreover, the site would’ve benefited tremendously from community features. Viewers should be able to comment and chat with each other about what they are seeing. This would have increased engagement during and after the event. People would have been “chattering” all around the web and McQueen could have provided a designation to do that around the runway show. The live feedback and responses on the destination site could have provided invaluable market research.For more online retail marketing strategies, visit <a href="http://www.fashionablymarketing.me" target="_blank">FashionablyMarketing.ME</a><p></p></div>4 Solutions for Allergies to Your Favorite Beauty Products and Accessorieshttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/profiles/blogs/4-solutions-for-allergies-to-your-favorite-beauty-products-and2020-10-14T20:21:32.000Z2020-10-14T20:21:32.000ZAnica Oakshttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/members/AnicaOaks<div><p><span style="font-weight:400;"><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8844235658,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8844235658,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-full" alt="8844235658?profile=original" /></a></span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400;">Allergies are typically associated with seasonal weather and specific food groups.
