The Hollywood “Glam” Insider

Want the inside scoop of the hairstyles celebrities, musicians and west coast concert goers will be rocking at the upcoming Coachella music festival?  Wella Professionals Celebrity Stylist Andy LeCompte showcased the top “Flower Child” looks on Vanessa Hudgens in the April 2013 issue of Cosmopolitan.

 

Give a day-old blowout a fresh new take with a crown of flowers around the head. Simply mist roots with a dry shampoo and work Wella Professionals Texture Touch into the ends. Top it off with a floral crown.

Spritz fingers with a spray gel or texturizing spray like Wella Professionals Ocean Spritz before styling. Weave French, fishtail and traditional braids throughout the hair for a romantic yet rebellious look.

Go for the braided headband. Great for a no wash day – mixing up the braid type to give a unique and less contrived look. Wrap the braid over the top of the head and secure with bobby pins.

Prom is in the Air

Now that prom season is upon us, here are two hairstyles to try out for a playful and youthful look:

 

Ombre Hair:The “grown out” color trend is still going strong!It can look natural and sun-kissed – and can be done without a trip to the salon by simply using extensions. To get the look, find extensions that are 2-3 shades lighter than your hair color. Try the Dancing with the Stars Clip-In Starlight Extensions ($49: Extensions.com). Or, take the guess work out of finding the right hue with theHairdo by HairUWear Ombre Extensions ($49: ULTA.com) that already feature the ombre effect.

 

Bangin’ Braids:The effortless braid has become the perfect accessory to any hairstyle. If you want to achieve this look at home, attach a ponytail extension for overall volume or braid off into a loose style. Try Hairdo by HairUWear Simply Straight Pony ($49: Extensions.com) or thePOP by HairUWear Clip-In Braid ($9: Extensions.com).

Lovin’ Your Hair with Philip B

I am very excited to try the Phillip B Lovin’ Leave-in Conditioner. My hair being curly tends to get dry and feel brittle at times that anything “leave-in” has got my name written all over it. Our hair is the first thing people see and also reflects our allover health. So if it’s not healthy then it shows that we as humans are not taking care of ourselves. I know you are probably thinking that is crazy, but it is true.

Philip B Lovin’ Leave-in conditioner is formualted with all natural ingredients so you never have to worry about any harsh chemicals or ingredients being put into your hair. It also helps aid with frizz, and adding shine.
Just like you, I am eager to give Philip B a try. I have only used it once but that is not enough to see a change in the feel or look of my hair.
To Try Philip B for yourself check out www.philipb.com

Let’s Talk NAILS for Spring

Every fashion fanatic knows that style extends to your nails, so what should you be sporting come spring?  I’ve got the latest beauty buzz for nails, so that when you reach for your favorite clutch or hold the hand of your crush, your fingers will look fantastic.

THE NEUTRAL NAIL: Yes, it’s back again this year.  Although spring typically brings bright colors in terms of clothing, the classic neutral nail is once again a mega craze this season.  Pale pinks, whites, taupe and nude will be must-have colors for your manicure.

ROCKIN’ METALLIC: If you’re looking for a bit more spice, flashes of metallic will also be hitting the scene. Eye-catching silvers, glittering blacks and even neons will be a perfect accessory for a night out.

DARK AND BOLD: Make a grab for dark polishes as colors such as deep magnetic greys, midnight blues and ominous blacks will also peak as a major trend.

TWO-TONED MANICURE: Pair your two favorite spring colors for a fun twist on the French mani.  Incorporate some of the other trends such as metallic paints or light+dark.

ADD SOME TEXTURE: The textured look will put fashion on your fingertips this season.  Make a splash with this funky trend.

For All Things Hollywood

Beauty Alert:

REVLON BRAND AMBASSADOR EMMA STONE AT THE PREMIERE OF THE CROODS

REVLON Global Brand Ambassador Emma Stone attended the premiere of her new film, The Croods in New York this morning. CHANEL celebrity makeup artist, Rachel Goodwin created a soft and youthful look to complement Stone’s Lanvin dress.

“Since it was a day time premiere I wanted Emma’s make up to feel fresh and playful,” said Goodwin. “I used warm metallics to create a softer version of a smoky eye and paired it with a soft beige on her cheeks and lips.”

“To prep her skin, I focused on the perimeter of her face, dabbing product directly onto her cheekbones, temples, jaw line and neck, then applied foundation to the center of the face fanning it out toward the edges with a beauty blender sponge,” said Goodwin. “Next I worked a warm brown shadow into her lash line and up into the crease, and added a bronze cream shadow over the powder for a subtle shimmering effect. I finished by curling her lashes then applied two coats of black mascara to both the top and bottom lashes. I sculpted the cheeks with a sheer powder blush, then dabbed a nude lipstick to the apples for a peachy glow. I paired this with a similar hue on the lip for a soft look.”

To create Stone’s look Goodwin used the following products:

Face
CHANEL Sublimage Essential Regenerating Fluid, $295.00
REVLON Nearly Naked Foundation in Vanilla, $9.99
REVLON ColorBurst Lip Butter in Creamsicle (on cheeks), $7.49

Eyes
REVLON ColorStay 16H Eyeshadow Quad in Addictive, $7.49
REVLON Illuminance Creme Shadow in Precious Metals, $6.50

Deborah Gaspar Jewelry Unforgetable Fashion

donna spangler & Deborah GasparI was excited to get my Deborah Gaspar bracelet.  The bracelet is especially appealing in that it also doubles as a necklace combination and can also be worn as a choker.  It can be lengthened by adding another bracelet or two, depending on the length desired.  It is secured by strong magnets, thus making it simple to put on and off yet very secure. To achieve a different look, make it a longer necklace by merely attaching the magnets. The jewelry comes in many elegant styles. Depending on my outfit choice, I found that I could wear the bracelet or necklace as a casually chic accessory or more formal and elegant complement. The pieces are substantial and heavy enough to feel rich. The pieces come in various colors including gold, black etc. I love the elegance, versatility and design.  Check it out along with additional beautiful collections at

Great Hydrating Products Argan Oil & Cream

I found a gem treatment for skin and hair called Argan, which is a wonderful enriching cream that penetrates the skin and adds moisture. The oil is great for the hair. The thing I liked about the cream it is that it feels like it actually penetrates into the skin and not just stays  on top like some creams.  It is also 100% pure and organic!argan oil cream

Argan oil is found only in some regions of the North African Continent Derived from the fruit of a tree called L’Arganier. From that tree the oil is extracted with multiple benefits which for centuries has enriched us by its incomprable efficacy.

Argan oil is rich in Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Omega 3, Omega 6 and linoleic acid. it is rich in tocopherols, an is a powerful anti-oxidant, able to neutralize free radicals and oxidation reactions and therefore is used externally to rejuvenate and hydrate wrinkled skin and skin damaged by time and sun exposure.

Argan oil protects the skin from exposure to the elements. it nourishes and regenerates in depth for a better elasticity of the skin. It has anti-aging properties. at the inter-cellular level it challenges and stimulates the oxygen exchange. Argan oil regenerates the epidermis and soothes skin irritations. It softens the hair. It helps in the treatment of acne, chicken pox, burns, chapping and the prevention of stretch marks.
