Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES The provision for income taxes represents federal, foreign, state and local income taxes. The effective tax rate differs from the applicable federal statutory rate due to the effect of state and local income taxes, tax rates and income in foreign jurisdictions, utilization of tax loss carry-forwards, foreign earnings taxable in the U.S., nondeductible expenses and other items. The Company’s tax provision changes quarterly based on various factors including, but not limited to, the geographical mix of earnings, enacted tax legislation, foreign, state and local income taxes, tax audit settlements and the interaction of various global tax strategies. In addition, changes in judgment from the evaluation of new information resulting in the recognition, derecognition and/or re-measurement of a tax position taken in a prior period are recognized in the quarter in which any such change occurs. For the third quarter of 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes from continuing operations of $12.0 million and $11.5 million, respectively. The $0.5 million increase in the provision for income taxes was primarily attributable to certain favorable discrete items that benefited the third quarter of 2012 that did not recur in the third quarter of 2013, mostly offset by the favorable resolution of tax matters in a foreign jurisdiction in the third quarter of 2013. For the first nine months of 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes from continuing operations of $30.2 million and $31.6 million, respectively. The $1.4 million decrease in the provision for income taxes was primarily attributable to the loss on early extinguishment of debt recognized in the first nine months of 2013 related to the 2013 Senior Notes Refinancing and the February 2013 Term Loan Amendments and the favorable resolution of tax matters in a foreign jurisdiction in the first nine months of 2013, partially offset by increased pre-tax income and certain favorable discrete items that benefited the first nine months of 2012 that did not recur in the first nine months of 2013. The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was higher than the federal statutory rate of 35% due principally to non-deductible expenses, including certain non-deductible expenses related to the Colomer Acquisition, foreign dividends and earnings taxable in the U.S. and state and local taxes, net of U.S. federal income tax benefit, partially offset by foreign and U.S. tax effects attributable to operations outside the U.S. The Company's effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was higher than the federal statutory rate of 35% due principally to foreign dividends and earnings taxable in the U.S. and non-deductible expenses, including certain non-deductible expenses related to the Colomer Acquisition.
