Runway Recap with Hair Service and Evolutionman

RUNWAY RECAP:  GROOMING FOR BESPOKEN SPRING 2014 WITH HAIR ROOM SERVICE AND EVOLUTIONMAN

Matthew Green, makeup artist for Hair Room Service used EVOLUTIONMAN on Bespoken Spring 2014 Presentation and states, 

“The idea with grooming the skin for Bespoken Spring 2014 was to enhance each individual models look. From chiseled cheek bones, to freckles or even full natural brows.”
Model 1 (above): “His skin was merely perfect and porcelain-like, which I wanted to enhance. For products I chose EVOLUTIONMAN Moisture Protect SPF 20 to prime the skin and for radiance as well as EVOLUTIONMAN Conceal & Treat Light for any mild dark spots he may have had.”
Model 2 (above):  “Had a great spring glow to his skin which I wanted to enhance. I used EVOLUTIONMAN Revitalize Eye Gel to brighten up the eye as well as EVOLUTIONMAN 

Moisture Protect SPF 20 Bronze to bring out his tan color.”
Model 3 (above): “Had really rich skin which I wanted to have a little extra radiance. 

EVOLUTIONMAN 
Moisture Protect SPF 20 gave great balance of moisturized, but not too shiny.“
*All models had EVOLUTIONMAN Lip Balm applied for added moisture as well!

Wet n’ Wild Mascara means Gorgeous Lashes

0-50

There are so many brands of make-up with prices ranging from expensive to dirt-cheap. I have a theory….a make-up product is a make-up product. It doesn’t matter what brand it is, how much it cost, who has it…. If it works well then it is a great product. Wet n’ Wild’s Megaimpact Mascara has proved my theory. Megaimpact lengthens and thickens my lashes to make my eyelashes longer and fuller then ever.  On top of that, the mascara is formulated with Argan Oil to promote healthy and gorgeous lashes. The best part is that it is under ten dollar and it works better then a mascara that I spent 25 dollars on! But most importantly it works great, the price is just a plus!

Helmut Lange at NYC Fashion Week

Helmut Lang’s Spring/Summer 2014 runway show last Friday was the epitome of cool. Helping to bring the brand’s inspiration to life was Lead Stylist Paul Hanlon for UNITE Hair. “The look was inspired by Helmut Lang’s designs, which were a nod back to the 90’s. I wanted the hair to have strong, clean lines to balance the baggier clothes. It is a bit masculine, but chic, and refined.”

  

 

To Get The Look:

1.      Prep the hair with the UNITE 7Seconds Condition ($26.25), which contains a thermal protector. Then use a blow dryer and a paddle brush to achieve pin-straight locks.. 2.      Next, apply UNITE Session Whip ($25), which really was the star product for this look. This weightless mousse gives the hair girth, but not hold (like a gel might). For best use, apply the mousse liberally from roots to ends and continue to blow dry the product into the hair until it is completely dry. 3.      To create the distinct part, use a rattail comb to perfectly section off the hair to the side, continuing to blow dry the hair straight down. 4.      Next take 2-inch sections of hair and spray the roots of each one with the UNITE Max Control Hairspray ($27.50). As with the previous steps, continue to use a blow dryer to set the hair. 5.      To complete this look, pull the hair into a low ponytail at the nape of the neck and secure with an elastic. Then wrap a black leather hair accessory (Hanlon used one designed by Helmut Lang). 6.      For a finishing touch, pull out some of the baby hairs for an effortless, natural look.  

       

 

“The idea for the Helmut Lang Show was to create a very controlled look by slicking the hair down and around the face, but not making it look crunchy or too shiny. We used products that would control the hair, but not make it too hard”, explains Hanlon.  http://www.uniteeurotherapy.com/

You don’t have to be a Yachtsman to enjoy the fabulous scent of Luna Rossa

Unknown-59

Prada Luna Rossa

As Rhode Islander, the America’s Cup is a household word as Newport, our coastal Rhode Island town, hosted some of the most famous America’s Cup battles in the competition’s 160 year-old history, that’s right, many of the Americas Cup races were held right in our very own Newport Harbor. Newport, Rhode Island continues to attract yachtsmen and women world-wide hosting some of the world’s major sailing events on its waters annually. I’m excited to tell you that Prada has recently unveiled it’s newest men’s fragrance Luna Rossa 34th America’s Cup Limited Edition Eau de Toilette.

I can definitely say that you don’t have to be a yachtsman to enjoy this fabulous fragrance. Just ask my son, a college student who is starting his sophomore year and has just moved into his dorm. I noticed the day after he moved that he forgot to pack a few things but he did not forget to pack his “Prada Cologne”, as he calls it (as you can see from the photo below). Prada Luna Rossa is his newest fragrance as he starts a new school year. I asked him what he likes about Luna Rossa and he told me that it “smells really good”.  Let’s face it, if he thinks it smells good, the girls will think so too. I will also add that my son only owns one other cologne so if he likes Prada’s Luna Rossa, that speaks volumes.

0-82

Prada’s Luna Rossa, is a very modern perfume with a bold, exciting scent. It is described as a “Lavender and orange essence burst forth in an instant wave of aromatic freshness, transitioning into a cool heart of spearmint and sage, then smooths into a noble and sensual base of wood and amber notes. Luna Rossa is a fragrance that encourages strength, energy and excellence.”

Luna Rossa 34th America’s Cup Limited Edition Eau de Toilette  is sold exclusively at Macy’s and macys.com.  This fabulous fragrance is also available in a Shower Gel, After Shave, a 1.7 oz., 3.4 oz., and 5.1 oz. Eau de Toilette.

Check out the Luna Rossa Challenge team as they prepare for the America’s Cup: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYvWqebdDyo&feature=c4-overview&list=UU-6VlV0CNJ3jI8xYCnm5fww

Recover from the Sun with Bamboo Beach

Bamboo Beach

Bamboo Beach

A friend of mine introduced me to this new product from Alterna which is an addition to some of their other amazing hair care products. Bamboo Beach Summer Sun Recovery Spray is a leave-in conditioner that instantly revitalizes sun-parched hair without weighting down your hair and making your hair feel greasy or stiff.This spray nourishes, moisturizes, detangles and enhances shine back into your  hair. Bamboo Beach Summer Sun Recovery Spray protects against color fade with a Color Hold Technology. Of course, it’s free of parabens, sulfates, phthalates and synthetic color which is very important to me!  Shake the bottle first then just spray 2 to 3 spritzes onto wet hair to refresh and add the moisture  back in!

I have a problem with the beach air, well my hair  does…… it just frizzes up, getting bigger and bigger….. Bamboo Beach Summer Sun Recovery Spray leaves my hair frizz free and tangle free. Being out in the sun all day, Bamboo Beach Summer Sun Recovery  Spray protects and revives my sun damaged hair. I love the scent, it
is a sweet tropical mix of mango and coconut (my favorite summer smell).

I was so satisfied with this product that I branched out and purchased Bamboo Beach Summer Ocean Waves and Bamboo Beach Mango Coconut Refreshing Dry Shampoo. The Bamboo Beach Summer Ocean Waves is a lightweight spray that brings the beach texture back into your hair without being at the beach!  You can actually control the waves  — on your hair I mean!  Spraying 2 to 3 spritzes onto damp hair creates weightless volume and a wavy texture to all hair types, bring
a natural look of luscious locks to your hair even when the beach season is gone.  Again formulated with Color Hold Technology to  protect against color faded hair. I love this product. My hair looks and feel fascinate

Dry Shampoo

Bamboo Beach Mango Coconut Refreshing Dry Shampoo was the first dry shampoo product that I ever tried and boy was I missing out!  If you are like me and don’t wash your hair everyday, which dries out your hair, then this product is for you. Shake lightly onto dry hair at the roots then massage in then brush or style your hair. The silky powder provides a clean summer fresh scent and makes your hair more controllable. You basically can go another day or two without washing your hair and it adds a bit of volume to your crown. The convenient container can easy store in your beach, pocketbook or pool bag. This line of Alterna’s products helps to recover sun damaged hair and keeps that sexy, beach wavy look with amazing shine and softness!

You can find Bamboo Beach at http://shop.alternahaircare.com

e-CURE Treatment…A Unique Therapy for Both Hair and Skin

ecure-logo

Treatment is described as a technique used in a specific situation. E-Cure offers a fabulous treatment which effectively treats and restores dull and damaged hair with a unique Step by Step Hair Therapy. This unique Hair Care System is called e–CURE Treatment. I was immediately intrigued with e-CURE Treatment because the products in this line can be used on hair and skin. As stated by e-CURE, “The e-CURE TREATMENT is an award winning Japanese moisturizing conditioning treatment that restores damaged hair to its original healthy, lustrous state.” e-CURE Treatment is not a hair straightener, curl enhancer or or frizz-controller, but rather an all-natural, multipurpose, preservative which is chemical free. I would describe e-CURE Treatment as a deep conditioner designed for ALL HAIR TYPES. To learn more about e-CURE Treatment technology please visit http://ecure-treatment.com/.

I especially liked the S- Series Shampoo which was developed to improve moisture retention when shampooing. S-Series Shampoo contains valuable extracts from fruits such and is ideal for hair that has been damaged by chemical processing or heat styling. It contains fruit and plant extracts from grapefruits, limes, lemons, apples as well as other natural sources. Another great feature of S-Series Shampoo is that the shampoo alone cleanses and conditions, therefore a separate conditioning is not necessary. I couldn’t believe a my hair was as silky and soft as it was without added conditioning.

S-Series Shampoo is sulfate and silicone free and is available in 4 different fragrances including fragrance free.

M-32p41

M-3.2 and P-4.2 are two very important components in the Hair Therapy One Step at a Time treatment as is  the S- Series shampoo. M-3.2  is a multi-purpose toner, enriched with  deep sea and wild plant minerals containing anti-aging properties which repairs and moisturizes your hair and skin. M-3.2 is a spray that can be applied to your hair whenever it feels dry, especially the ends. Spray M-3.2 onto you damp hair to protecting it from styling appliances. The results leave you with shiny soft hair.

P-4.1, the third component in the One Step at a Time treatment is “an ANTI-STATIC liquid that contains deep sea minerals with positively charged ions”. P-4.1 is also an all-natural, chemical free product suitable for both hair and skin. P-4.1 helps to close the hair cuticle and even out the porosity of the hair. For best results, use with M-3.2 to seal moisture in.

For Hair Care: Spray P-4.1 just before blow drying your hair to add extra volume and to fight against static electricity.

For Skin Care: Lightly mist face with P-4.1 to seal the moisture after applying your M-3.2 and your own facial lotion. P-4.1 will help to tighten skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Please note that S-Series Shampoo, M-3.2 and P-4.1 are salon exclusive products.

The following is the One Step at a Time treatment which you will be able to purchase at your hair salon. You can also use the E-Cure Treatment at home following these simple steps.

1. Spray your hair with M-3.2 until your hair is dripping wet.

2. Using 1 part S-2 Treatment Moisturizing Shampoo and 1 part M-3.2, mix together.

3. Apply some of the mixture to your hair, lather, massage into scalp.

4. Leave in for 3 to 5 minutes without rinsing.

5. Spray P-4.1 lightly throughout hair and comb out hair with a wide tooth comb.

E-CURE  Treatment left my hair incredibly soft and silky. I use e-CURE Treatment at least every 2 to 3 weeks as recommended and I am having great results. To find a salon near you that carries e-CURE, please visit http://ecure-treatment.com/salon-locator/
