Keeping her skintone natural, Long created a flawless complexion using Lancôme’s New Visionnnaire [1 Minute Blur] Smoothing Skincare Instant Perfector.

Sleekr Lived-in Curls Hit the Red Carpet

 January, 2013 (New York, NY) – Los Angeles stylist Angel V. Prado www.angelvprado.com created “lived-in waves” with the Sam Villa Sleekr straightening iron for Quinn Shephard from CBS “Hostages” for the Peoples Choice Awards. “I love Sam Villa tools, they make working with hair so easy.  I especially like using Sleekr for creating lived-in waves and other texture,” says Prado.

Lived-in Waves

·       Starting with dry hair, take vertical sections around the head and spray Redken guts 10 root volumizing spray foam from root to mid shaft, comb through with a Sam Villa Detangling Comb using the wide teeth for even distribution of product.

·       Blow dry roots with a Sam Villa Paddle Brush, upwards and away from the face to create movement and lift at the base (until dry)

·       Separate hair into two stacked sections (top and bottom).

·       Starting at the bottom, use a Sam Villa Sleekr straightening iron and take vertical sections (place iron in vertically), spin hair once around the iron and pull iron down the hair as if using scissors to curl ribbon.

·       Repeat on different parts of the hair strand (ex. first section curl at the base going back, next section only curl the mid shaft going forward) and continue until the entire head is curled.  Have fun and keep it sporadic, to create more natural looking texture for the perfect lived-in waves.

·       Finish by spraying Redken wool shake 08 volumizing texturizer and lightly shake with your fingers to add separation and movement.

Kazumi Root Vanish is absolutely Amazing!

 

ROOT VANISH by Kazumi is an amazing beauty accessory that really helped me out of a jam this holiday season. I missed my badly needed hair coloring appointment and could not get another one until the following week. My grays were showing through and I had a few events coming up on the weekend, I needed to touch up my roots quickly. I didn’t want to color my whole head, after all, that wouldn’t make my hair colorist very happy, so I opted for temporary color with ROOT VANISH by Kazumi.

ROOT VANISH is not a marker, shampoo or spray but rather a gel that is brushed on the roots giving you total coverage. ROOT VANISH was designed and formulated by Beverly Hills celebrity colorist Kazumi. Kazumi partnered with the Japanese hair company KIWABI, Inc. and created this fabulous root color accessory featuring over 22 Asian ant-aging botanical extracts which will fortify, strengthen and energize your hair.

ROOT VANISH by Kazumi  is a gel based formula which is toxin free, fragrance free and 100% non transferable. This product truly is amazing. What I really liked about ROOT VANISH was that I was able to  treat my roots while my hair was dry, there was no need to shampoo. I was able to treat my roots quickly and did not have to deal with strong odors that some hair coloring products are famous for. ROOT VANISH is easy to use, simply press the button at the base of the wand until the color starts to dispense through the brush and apply the gel color to your roots. When you need more color, press the button, it’s so easy.  The brush applicator enables you to cover quite a bit of hair at a time. After you finish with your color, blow dry the color in so your hair will not stick. Brush your hair out and style as usual.

ROOT VANISH  can be used in layers and built up to achieve darker colors and the color remains until you shampoo your hair with warm water. Of course, you must always follow the directions on any hair coloring product and you will be amazed, as I was at how easy I found ROOT VANISH to touch up my graying roots.

ROOT VANISH by Kazumi is available in 4 colors, blonde, light brown, dark brown and black and can be purchased at  http://www.amazon.com

Year Round Sun Protection from CeraVe

IMG_4755

“Mom, did you remember the sunscreen? That was one of the many questions asked as we were packing for our recent trip to Florida. Obviously, I was responsible for the sunscreen and CeraVe had exactly was we were looking for. CeraVe offered several types of sunscreens as well as several types of applications like lotions,  sticks and a sprays. The CeraVe products I chose are formulated with their trademark Invisible Zinc technology. As stated by CeraVe, “Invisible Zinc technology uses a revolutionary, naturally sourced micro-finezinc oxide that delivers a unique dry, clear finish on the skin whole also delivering powerful protection from the sun’s damaging rays.” 

All CeraVe suncare products are lightweight, oil-free, water resistant and contain ceramides which aid in repairing and restoring the skin barrier. Year round sun protection is so important because we are always exposed to the sun, after all, we don’t lock ourselves indoors when summer ends. We are quite aware how damaging the sun can be to our skin and we wear sunscreen when outdoors, whether we are on vacation or not. The girls were very happy with my choices and as you can see from the photos, they carried their CeraVe sunscreen throughout our vacation to sunny Florida.

Adrienne liked the new CeraVe SPF 50 Sunscreen Stick. It was small enough to carry in her back pocket and she liked the stick application with its retractable applicator. Jenna preferred the lotion for her face and CeraVe SPF 50 Face Lotion was exactly what she was looking for. She liked the light weight formula and the oil-free sunscreen was perfect for her skin type.

I carried CeraVe SPF 50 Body Lotion to be sure the entire family had the sun protection they needed while enjoying the beautiful whether. Our skin was protected from head to to thanks to CeraVe.

Not Feeling so Glamorous? Head for the OCEAN

 OceanNasalCare.com - OCEAN Complete Sinus Rinse

The following is a true story: My 24 year old daughter had been battling a cold before we left for our Thanksgiving vacation to Florida. When we arrived, she was only feeling worse. Over the next few days she developed, as she describes, “an extremely bad case of post nasal which was keeping her up at night.  She said it was the worst case of post nasal drip she ever had. She was constantly trying to clear her nasal passages and in doing so, she continuously burst into coughing spells. The cold medicine was not helping very much and when someone from the hotel suggested she try a nasal flush, we immediately got one for her.

OCEAN®  Complete Sinus Rinse worked like a charm. My daughter never used a saline rinse before and once she tried OCEAN®  Complete Saline Rinse she felt great and was finally able to get some much needed sleep. OCEAN®  Complete Saline Rinse is easy to use (it’s best to use over a sink) and with only a few squirts in each nostril, it cleared out her nasal passages and was free of mucus for about 4 to 6 hours. There was no stinging or discomfort of any kind. The spout directed the stream of saline into her nostril with ease and she continued to do this for a few day until her symptoms went away. OCEAN®  Complete Saline Rinse is now a staple in her medicine cabinet and she won’t travel without it.

OCEAN®  Complete Saline Rinse was formulated to relieve nasal and sinus pressure and congestion, at the same time keeping your nasal passages moist. The saline rinse comes with two easy to use removable nozzles, one for irrigation (rinse) and one for moisturizing (mist) which you will want to use if you suffer from dry nasal passages.

OCEAN®  Complete Saline Rinse is used to irrigate membranes following nasal surgery, moisturize dry, sensitive nasal tissue before or after nasal surgery, and as a daily nasal rinsing as part of a nasal health regime. OCEAN®  Complete Saline Rinse also helps to reduce congestion by thinning mucus, reduces nasal dryness caused by drug-induced dryness and for soothing dry irritated nasal passages due to allergies, cold, flu, rhinitis, and sinusitis.

OCEAN®  Complete Saline Rinse is a  sterile, non medicated preservative-free salt formula which is safe for frequent daily use.

OCEAN Saline Nasal Spray

OCEAN Saline Nasal Spray

OCEAN®  also makes a sensational saline nasal spray. As stated by their website, “OCEAN® Saline Nasal Spray is the original, #1 pharmacist-recommended nasal saline moisturizer. It offers natural, non-medicated relief for dry, irritated nasal passages due to allergies, colds, flu, rhinitis and sinusitis. It is safe for frequent daily nasal care and is gentle enough for infants.”  It is the perfect size to carry with you in a purse or book bag and you enjoy the benefits of the spray when you need to moisturize your nasal passages or get relief from a cold while on the go.

Diet, Exercise and SPRAY THIN your way into the New Year

Spray Thin

Spray Thin

 

It’s that time of year again, “the 1’st of the year”, when many of us are ready for a “New Year” and a “New Body”. Losing weight has always been a struggle for me but I was able to do so with lots of hard work, mainly diet and exercise. For me, exercise is the easy part but the diet part…not so easy. A friend of mind recently told me about a new product she is using called Spray Thin. Spray Thin is made by several of the same people who created Sensa, *the number one selling diet product today. My friend’s mom lost weight with Sensa and my friend wanted to try this new, more effective scent based weight loss product and she is enjoying using Spray Thin very much. 

I don’t particularly like to use the word “diet”, I like using the term “eating program” because I like the idea that I can design my own “eating program” based on the calories I want to consume while eating the foods I enjoy. With the help of Spray Thin, you can enjoy the foods you like to eat without overeating because Spray Thin enables you to use portion control by making you feel less hungry sooner helping you to reduce your caloric intake. Basically, you can eat your favorite foods and feel full and satisfied. Spray Thin was designed to reduce hunger, therefore helping to increase weight loss.

The following information was taken from their website and explains exactly how Spray Thin works: http://www.spraythin.com  “Spray Thin is the first liquid scent spray for food that sends appetite suppression signals to the brain while eating, effectively shutting off hunger. It’s important to understand the connection here. The real key to portion control and to losing weight begins in the nose. That’s right! Your nose knows.

Spray Thin

Spray Thin

For years, medical doctors have known that when nasal centers are damaged, more often than not, obesity results. In fact, quite contrary to gastronomic logic, there are a number of groundbreaking studies demonstrating that a heightened sense of smell during eating results in faster satiety and less calorie consumption. Spray Thin contains specially manufactured scents that do not affect weight loss by changing the taste of food; however, they do activate nasal sense receptors that trigger patterns of electrical activity in the region of the brain that affects appetite.

For example, during each meal or snack, when using Spray Thin, target scents trigger your brain to tell you that you are full faster. The result is that you are happy with your meal and you stop eating earlier, ending up with less calorie consumption and greater weight loss.”

Spray Thin is available in two scents, Sweet and Savory. Spray Thin Sweet is used for sweet foods such as desserts and treats and Spray Thin Savory is used on all other meals which are not sweet. The spray tubes are thin and you can  easily carry them with you throughout the day. Spray Thin will not affect the taste of your food as I have tried it. Spray Thin is calorie free, fat free, caffeine free, sugar free, and contains no MSG or artificial colors.

What better time than now, with spring just around the corner to start losing weight. Remember, exercise is an important key to any weight loss program and Spray Thin will help with the portion control part of your food program. Now you can start looking forward to feeling great this Spring with the help of Spray Thin.
