ManiCam at The 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards

While some stars dazzled in jaw dropping gowns and head turning hairstyles, some out shined the best of them with the perfect manicure.  Stars such as Naomi Watts, Jennifer Lawrence, and singer Adele walked the red carpet’s “ManiCam” with manicures courtesy of Sally Hansen.

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure is an all-in-one formula that combines all the 7 benefits of a professional salon manicure—a base coat, a strengthener, a growth treatment, rich color, top coat, gel-like shine and chip resistance —in a single multi-tasking polish.

 

Naomi Watts

Celebrity nail expert Tracey Sutter created the look for Watts, nominated for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture–Drama. Tracey used Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Arm Candy to create a natural effect.

To get the look, Sutter filed down Naomi’s nails very short before applying Sally Hansen’s Cuticle Instant Remover.  Next, Sutter applied 2 coats of Sally Hansen’s new Complete Salon Manicure Nail Color in Arm Candy – giving Watts just the right amount of color she wanted.

Jennifer Lawrence

April Foreman was the expert behind Lawrence’s nail look, using Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Sheer Ecstasy for the Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture–Comedy or Musical nominee.

To get the look, Foreman shaped Lawrence’s nails “sqound” giving both a square and round look.  Keeping her hands hydrated, Foreman applied Sally Hansen Smooth and Perfect Hand Crème before applying 2 coats of Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Sheer Ecstasy.

Adele

 

Celebrity Manicurist, Kimmie Kyees used on Adele a sheer coat of Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in So Much Fawn with two coats of Complete Salon Manicure in Copper Penny layered on top.  Kyees finished off the look with an exclusive topcoat created for tonight that had gold in it to help enhance the color in Copper Penny for the best Original Song, Film nominee.

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

Golden Globes Recap

We all know last night was The Golden Globes.  Hollywood’s brightest stars dazzled the red carpet with show stopping styles that are sure to ignite 2013’s newest trends.  Famous celebrities such as Anne Hathaway, Jessica Alba and Zooey Deschanel show off award winning hairstyles courtesy of  SHE by SO.CAP.USA hair extensions, that even you at home can achieve.

 

Clip-In Bangs

Still growing her hair out from her award-winning performance in Les Miserables, Anne Hathaway’s bangs are a great face-framing length. Since most of us won’t be winning an award for snipping our hair, an easy way to get this look is with clip-in bang extensions which allow you to instantly achieve this style without the permanent cutting. SHE by SO.CAP.USA now offers clip-in bang extensions in two lengths and multiple colors allowing you to look like Anne without the dramatic snipping.

 

Clip-In Extensions

Looking effortless as ever, Jessica Alba kept her hair simple and elegant with a side swept style. Achieving the length and volume of this hairdo requires a few clip-in extensions, bobby pins to pull the hair to the side and a curling iron. SHE by SO.CAP.USA clip-in hair extensions provide the volume and length, can be styled like regular hair and are easily put in and taken out.

 

Clip-In Ponytail

Zooey Deschanel’s nails get more attention than the rest of her look, but her perfectly coiffed ponytail topped off her look. Though this is an easy style to achieve, the best part about her ponytail was the thickness and that it stood out against her dress and pearls. Adding SHE by SO.CAP.USA’s clip-in ponytail extension will add the volume needed to achieve Zooey’s style and modernize this classic style.

Don’t Get Mad, Get Madcapz

I have not always been a fan of hats, but the woman sitting next to me is.  Lisa loves hats!  Straw hats, floppy hats, beanie hats, rain hats, baseball caps and more  Right now, she is loving a new line of feminine baseball caps (her favorite) designed for women called Madcapz. 

President and founder of Madcapz, Carrie Bell, created Madcapz when she battled Grave’s Disease. She loved the fit and feel of baseball caps but all she could find were covered in sports, and corporate logos.

Do It Yourself Hairstyles

Looking for a great Holiday Do? Try one of these great step by step hairstyles.

The Top Knot, similar to the Carrie Bradshaw moment

1.Brush out your hair so that it’s nice and smooth
2.Flip your head over and put your hair in a high ponytail at the top of your head and secure with a hair tie. (Use a hair tie color closest to your hair color)
3.Twist, braid, or simply wrap your ponytail hair around the hair tie to create a smooth “knot” and secure with a second hair tie.
4.Use bobby pins to secure any loose pieces.
5.Spray with a little bit of hairspray and use to smooth out any frizzies.

 

For something softer:

1. Create a deep side part when hair is wet
2. Then blow dry hair using hands.
3. Next, with a one 1/4 inch curling iron, curl your hair.
4. Then pull your hair into a low ponytail at the nape of the neck, leaving a few pieces in front to frame the face,
5. Secure with a piece of hair from the underneath by wrapping it around the base of the ponytail; this creates a beautiful, clean hold.

*****You can also pull your hair into a chignon

 

For something in between, (half up do) :
1. Once hair is dried, used a one inch curling iron and curled from the bottom of the hair to create tousled undone waves. 
2. Leaving a few pieces in front to frame the face, pull the hair from the sides to the center and secure with bobby pins.
3. Leave the rest of the hair down, in front of the shoulders to keep the look modern. 
4. To secure the look, apply Hairspray to maintain the look.

Off With Those Heads!!!!

 

My whole life I have struggled with acne problems.  I have tried every known product on the market and nothing, I mean NOTHING, helped.  By the time I was 18 I gave up trying to get rid of my acne and tried to cover it up by wearing, what felt like, 50 lbs of foundation on my face.  That just made my acne worse and I ended up looking like pancake batter.  I just lost all confidence in the way I looked and even stopped wearing makeup all together.

That was until a few weeks ago when I was introduced to “Off With Those Heads” acne serum by B-Liv skin care that my fight to cure my acne had come to an end.  When I was asked to sample B-Liv face serum I didn’t even have to think, I just yelled out “YES”!

After the first week of use I noticed a difference on my skin.  I couldn’t believe it!!!! My skin was starting to glow and I have NEVER had glowing skin before.  Here I am 3 weeks later and my skin even made it through the worst time pf the month for acne, BLEMISH FREE! 🙂 I can put my makeup on with ease and not have to worry about trying to cover any nasty marks up and it looks like my makeup was airbrushed on. I swear I feel like a runway model now whose skin is just gorgeous and flawless.

I recommend “Off With Those Heads” B-Live face serum to anybody with acne, blackheads, whiteheads etc. It is a sure fire way to say “OFF WITH THOSE HEADS”!!!
