John Freida

John Freida

THE STYLIST: Odile Gilbert

THE LOOK: Incredible shine and movement. Inspired by the idea of beautiful and natural textures.

HOW TO:
· Depending on the hair’s natural texture, either apply Frizz Ease Beyond Smooth Frizz Immunity Primer or Frizz Ease Dream Curls Air-Dry Waves Styling Foam to wet hair.
· Next, blow-dry the hair while combing through with your fingers.
· Spray Beach Blonde Sea Waves Sea Salt Spray and work in with hands while diffusing.
· Once all the hair is dry, take random pieces and curl them using a 1 ½ inch curling iron. Do not touch the roots or ends with the curling iron. For the waves to look natural, run your fingers through them at the end.
· To finish, spray Frizz Ease KeraFLEX Hairspray to hold the style and brush through with a natural bristle brush.

He put a ring on it

Put your paws up little monsters… Lady Gaga is engaged!!! I am so excited for Mother Monster. Looks like she got a herself not only an extremely handsome man but one who knows how to treat his lady. Taylor Kinney popped the question on Valentine’s Day giving Gaga a one of a kind rare ring that definitely caught my eye.

As a lover of all things beauty, and fashion related I couldn’t help looking more into her rare heart shaped diamond. Every time I think of heart shaped diamonds I think of the “Heart of the Ocean” as seen in the Titanic. Turns out heart shaped diamonds were used as symbols of friendship between royalty. In fact in the 1500s Queen Elizabeth was gifted a heart shaped diamond from Mary Queen of Scots. Even though heart shaped rings are often seen, there have been none quite like Gaga’s. The rave over Gaga’s ring has made headlines with not only the shape, but the size, cut and carats.

We know Gaga for her outrageous fashion, controversial music videos and her love for her little monsters, but recently Gaga has toned it all down. Having cut an album with the one and only Tony Bennett, Gaga’s new fashion sense is soft, elegant and lovely so this ring really accentuates her new look. So congrats Gaga and may I add…. your hubby to be is so handsome I’m a little jealous. No “Bad Romances” here 🙂

Beauty at its best

I really wish I was in New York this week to be a part of history in the making. Modeling for Carrie Hammer’s “Role Models not Runway Models” is 30 year old actress Jamie Brewer, the first model in New York Fashion history to walk the runway with down’s syndrome.

Jamie Brewer

Carrie chose Jamie, out of thousands of applicants, to walk the runway. Her campaign “Role Models not Runway Models” has real women with real top of the line jobs showcasing her fashions. Jamie is a real role model. Active in the Down Syndrome community, Jamie is the youngest person with this condition to be elected president of the ARC of Fort Bend Chapter. She is not afraid to show the world just who she is and I feel others can look up to her.

I like writing about real things and Jamie is a true to life woman who has overcome her fears. She doesn’t let anything hold her back from following her dream. You and I shouldn’t either. She shows us that everyone is beautiful because its how you define yourself not how others define you. Jamie is a definite beauty and a real role model for all women. Great job Jamie! 🙂

The real head turner of this season’s presentation, the hair! Styled to have drama and edge, the look was created with a lot of grit and texture applied by Rene Furterer’s Volumea Spray and Mousse throughout the scalp. They then hand dried the hair leaving a natural texture that was able to be easily manipulated into a ponytail which was then swept forward for a Faux -Bang with soft natuarla pieces falling out around the perimeter.

Valentine’s Day Hollywood style

With Valentine’s Day just 4 days away, thinking about that perfect date night look can get overwhelming. Of course if your like me you always wait till the last minute but its always a good time to pull out the classic red lip look. Simple yet elegant, the red lip will make any outfit, or hairstyle stand out and make you good night kiss ready.

Skinn Cosmetics

Skinn Cosmetics

When I think of the red lip two very popular women come to mind. They are of course, Marilyn Monroe and my favorite Lucille Ball. Marilyn pulled it off as a sexy, seductress while Lucy pulled it off in comedy genius so it just goes to show you the possibilities are endless. When I need to have the perfect red lip I reach for my Skinn Cosmetics Hollywood Velvet Lip Palette. What better way to recreate the classic “Hollywood” look than with Hollywood itself. These lip colors are long lasting, anti-aging (collagen boosting peptides to make lips appear fuller), easy to apply and hydrating. They range from more natural to all out burgundy red.

I recently started doing more reds but when I first started I was mixing colors together because I was self conscious of how bright red were. The beauty of the Hollywood Velvet Palette is you can mix the darks and the lights together forming your very own color. In the first use I noticed my lips were more plump, and with its matte finish the Hollywood Palette can easily be touched up. There was no need to re-add any lip liner. When applying I recommend using a lip brush with a nice pointed brush to help aid you “drawing inside the line” (your lip palette comes with two).

So for all you last “minuters” out their perfect your red lip Valentine’s Look with the Hollywood Velvet Lip Palette. Get one for yourself at www.skinn.com
