Donnas Beauty Tip to Get Rid of Cold Sores

Donnas Beauty Tips on cold sores

It is important to keep the skin clear for many reasons but it is especially important for me as a personality in the entertainment industry and always essential that I have flawless looking skin however this is not always possible especially when it comes to cold sores.

One of the most annoying things on the planet is a cold sore eruption. I have experienced these pesky ugly sores since I can remember. I often struggled to keep them at bay. If you ask anyone who get them they will tell you that they are hard to cover with make-up which may even make them look worse when piled on. Additionally, cold sores carry around a bad stigma.

I was always embarrassed by my breakouts and worse it always seemed like they’d come when I was stressed out or before a period or anticipation of an important event adding insult to injury.

As a result, I’ve tried everything available and found that my favorite and most effective discovery is a product called Dynamiclear antiviral that I want to share with you.

 

When I first tried it I was skeptical and only got a one dose application. Much to my surprise it worked better than anything I had tried in the past! I then went back and ordered a whole bottle with 100 applications to have on hand for any future cold sore breakouts.

I apply this product when I feel a tingle.

The product direction says it works best when the blister is there. It is true when the sore has fluid it works best but I use it both ways.I find that the healing time is much shorter with this product than with others I’ve tried in the past.  In addition, the breakouts seem less severe and easier to camouflage when using this produce.

The only place I have seen it is on the internet

70th Annual Golden Globes of 2013

Just when you think the stars can’t shine anymore, they keep coming around the corner.  The gowns keep flowing, the jewelry continues to shine, and the hairstyles keep turning heads. With help from NEW Suave Professionals® Moroccan Infusion hair products, designer and “Fashion Star” mentor Nicole Richie dazzled the red carpet with her show stopping curls.

Here’s how Suave Professionals® Stylist, Jenny Cho, created Nicole’s red carpet look: · Wash hair with New Suave Professionals® Moroccan Infusion Shine Shampoo and Conditioner, and then blow dry hair using a large paddle brush. · Part hair on the side and begin curling with a one-inch barrel curling iron. Be sure to hold the curling barrel horizontal to the head. · After curling each section, use bobby pins to hold in place. · Blast hair all over with a hot dryer for 1-2 minutes to help set the curls. · Remove the bobby pins, lightly brush the hair to soften curls and finish with Suave Professionals® Touchable Finish Super Hold Hairspray. · Place 1-2 drops of the New Suave Professionals® Moroccan Infusion Styling Oil in palms and rub hands together. Avoiding the roots, gently run hands over the surface of the hair to add a radiant shine. · Place the Moroccan Infusion Styling Oil in your clutch for touchups on the go.

 

Nicole also has a few tips that she can always count on to help shine on the carpet – or just a night on the town! · Identify your top feature and play it up – know your body and what silhouettes work for you. · With both makeup and accessories – focus on one bold item. For example, when doing a deep lip, leave eyes bare, or if wearing a statement necklace, keep the earrings simple. · Whether she’s doing an up ‘do or down and sleek for her hairstyle, she always goes for shine on the carpet. Her go-to product is the NEW Suave Professionals® Moroccan Infusion Styling Oil for brilliant, lightweight conditioning.

My Aunt Loves Her Face and Now You Can To with faceLOVE

 My Aunt Gale tried and loves faceLOVE. Here is what she has to say:

Face Love is an amazing product. I can now say I love my face. I had a few lines around my left eye and mouth. A very small amount of Face Love does wonders.  The serum goes a long way. I only wish I had known of this product last summer before my daughter’s wedding.   We have the pictures back and I see lines.  If I had used this product then there would be a different face in the pictures.  I like a natural look and Face Love allows me to use less make up. I have always disliked that heavy feel of products on my face.     My advice to you is to get Face Love before the big event not after like I did. Then you will love your face in those big event pictures.

The 70th Annual Golden Globes Signature Looks

So many looks so little time.  That’s the way it goes at The 70th Annual Golden Globe awards.  Each star showed off his or her signature look as they walked the red carpet.  Actress Kate Hudson turned the most heads with her elegant yet simple soft, voluptuous hair style courtesy of  IT&LY HAIRFASHION’S Purity Design Line. 

According to celebrity hairstylist David Babaii,  “I wanted to show off Kate’s healthy, shiny hair in a style that emphasizes her true Hollywood beauty. As the perfect “Muse” and my inspiration, Kate is my generation’s Brigitte Bardot showing off soft voluptuous hair that is touchable, glamorous and now Kate’s very own signature look.”

To achieve, David used IT&LY HAIRFASHION’S Purity Design Line that gives a natural, long-lasting hold which is perfect for beautiful results. David started with IT&LY’s Pure Water Drops Serum before blow drying. Next, he added IT&LY’s Pure Style Mousse Strong and used a medium round brush at the root area to add volume then switching to a large round brush to smooth and create soft rounded edges. After drying, David created a natural side part spritzing IT&LY’s Pure Volumizing Eco at the base for added lift and down the shaft for more piecey definition. For her sexy fringe he wrapped the bang area around a medium round brush spraying a small amount of IT&LY’s Pure Volumizing Eco again. With the blow dryer temperature on high, he directed heat on the brush followed by a quick blast of cool air to set. Gently he removed the brush to release the fringe. With his fingers he combed through and allowed the hair to fall naturally into place. To finish, he misted the hair with IT&LY Pure Definition Hair Spray for soft touchable hair with memory hold. Now everyone will ask, “Can I have the Kate Hudson look?

“Soft, voluptuous, healthy hair never looked more glamorous”, says David Babaii.

The 70th Annual Golden Globes Starts Out With a Bang

It seems that the gowns and the elegant jewelery were not the center of attention at The 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards last night.  With hairstyles worn by such actresses like Julie Bowen, Isla Fisher, Kristen Wiig, and Lucy Liu, courtesy of Wella Professionals.  
 

JULIE BOWEN

Modern Family’s Julie Bowen styled by celebrity stylist Jill Crosby using Wella Professionals

The Look: Julie likes to feel comfortable and like herself when walking the red carpet, so Jill created a textured chignon knot that embodies her natural, yet modern style. Julie is wearing a one-shouldered gown, which balances this deconstructed hairstyle.

Here’s how Jill created Julie’s look:

1. Starting with wet hair, Jill worked in a quarter-sized amount of Wella Professionals Enrich Straight Leave In Cream focusing on the ends to infuse moisture and “bring hair back to life.”

2. Then rake through three pumps of Wella Professionals Velvet Amplifier to prime the hair, leaving it a smooth texture, before blow drying with a large round brush. While blow drying, focus on adding volume and lifting the roots.

3. Once dry, she then sprayed Wella Professionals Thermal Image Heat Protection Spray throughout and Wella Professionals Ocean Spritz Beach Texture Spray at the roots for added lift and matte finish to achieve the deconstructed look.

4. Using a flatiron, she straightened pieces of the hair at her fringe and underneath the length of her hair near the nape of her neck. The interior of the hair was then back combed for added volume. Fringe is side-swept and secured in the front.

5. Hair was separated into two sections and then pulled toward the middle of the back of her head into a knotted chignon, then secured into place with pins hidden underneath the knot.

6. The look was finished with Wella Professionals Stay Essential Finishing Spray sprayed throughout to set the style.

 

ISLA FISHER

Actress Isla Fisher styled by celebrity stylist Sascha Breuer using Wella Professionals

The Look: Isla’s gorgeous, glamourously detailed Reem Acra dress helped for a modern take of Veronica Lake’s iconic style, which was the influence for her soft, touchable iconic waves.

Here’s how Sascha created Isla’s look:

1. First, hair was washed and conditioned with Wella Professionals Enrich Shampoo and Conditioner

2. Hair was gently towel dried, and then Wella Professionals Elastic Energy Mousse was combed through the hair using a wide toothed comb to give the look staying power and irresistible definition

3. Blow-dry the hair using a large round brush and direct the nozzle upwards for added root-lift. Ensure the hairdryer isn’t too hot, which can cause it to dry out and break, giving you frizz.

4. Once the hair is completely dry, create a low side parting for added glam and section the hair into manageable pieces.

5. Starting at the front and working backwards, wrap sections of hair around a medium-sized heated curling iron and secure each curled section with pins or clips.

6. Spray the pinned hair lightly with Wella Professionals Stay Essential Finishing Spray and leave to cool.

7. When the hair is completely cool, release the curled sections, remove all the grips and smooth through with your hands to loosen the ringlets. Use a large soft brush gently brush through the curls to create smooth soft waves.

8. Add a few drops of Wella Professionals Mirror Polish Shine Serum, which will work wonders to add the right level of smoothness and glossy shine to your hair.

9. To finish, spritz Wella Stay Essential Finishing Spray for lasting but flexible hold.

 

KRISTEN WIIG

Actress and Presenter Kristen Wiig styled by celebrity stylist Alex Polillo using Wella Professionals

 The Look: “For the Golden Globes,” says Alex, “I wanted a little Rock n roll, slightly wild feel for Kristen’s hair. This style goes perfectly with her chic black gown and simple clean jewelry.”

 Here’s how Alex created Kristen’s look:

1. First, wet hair was prepped with Wella Professionals Extra Volume Mousse at the root and Wella Professionals Ocean Spritz Beach Texture Spray was applied to the ends

2. The hair was then parted roughly to one side, and blown dry with a small round brush

3. Next, two different sized curling irons were used to wave 1” strands away from the face, while leaving the ends free

4. Each section was sprayed lightly with Wella Professionals Stay Essential Finishing Spray for soft, touchable hold

5. After all the waves had set, a pea-sized amount of Wella Professionals Texture Touch was used to gently separate the waves

6. Lastly, spritz select pieces of the hair with Wella Professionals Stay Firm Finishing Spray for a natural-looking yet long lasting hold

 

 

LUCY LIU

Actress and Presenter Lucy Liu styled by Wella Professionals Celebrity Stylist Andy LeCompte

The Look: Lucy demonstrated “perfect imperfection” because there is a slight messiness to balance her feminine Marie Antoinette inspired dress. Andy says that for braids, it’s best to do it on 1-2 day old hair because it’s easier to grip and create texture vs. clean hair. 

Here’s how Andy created Lucy’s look:

1. First, dry hair was prepped with small amount of Wella Professionals Velvet Amplifier Style Primer

2. Then, Wella Professionals Ocean Spritz Beach Texture Hairspray was applied to create texture at the root and length of hair

3. A deep side part was created, and the hair was french braided down each side of the head and the two braids merged at the bottom, slightly to the side so the braid hangs over the shoulder.

4. Placing one braid over the other, the ends of the hair were then flipped through the hole of the two braids

5. Then, merge the two braids into one fishtail at the bottom, and use Wella Professionals Rugged Fix on the ends for a rugged texture.

6. Finish the look with Wella Professionals Stay Essential for a lasting, flexible hold
