Enya with Jamarcus Gaston, Studio62 Product spotlights

Studio62

Enya Flack – Beauty & Lifestyle Expert, It’s a Glam Thing presents “Beauty Gadgets and more.”
Esquire Grooming, The Hand Brush Hair Dryer.

The first of its kind, and Esquire Grooming is calling it a Brush Dryer-think of it as a brush with the added benefit of drying as it styles. It gives you more control, which is good if you actually care where your hair ends up. It adds volume and allows you to begin shaping and styling your hair before you put product in it-which means you can use less product-better for your hair, and that way it feels nicer when fingers are run through it.

The red glow inside is a new, innovative infrared technology. It helps prevent heat damage and retain the natural moisture in the hair. Styling products tend to perform much better on hair that has been dried and shaped first.

A quick towel dry is the first step. Turn it on and comb in the direction you ultimately want your hair to fall. It’s designed to fit into your hand a number of different ways, so hold it however you find to be most comfortable. When your hair is dry, and now in the general shape and direction you want it to be, apply styling product.

LA-Tweez Professional Illuminating Tweezers with a Diamond Dust Tip. Illuminating Tweezers crafted from the finest stainless steel, the hand filed tips are perfectly aligned and guaranteed to tweeze. The ultra-bright LED light illuminates your eyebrows and allows you to see those hard to reach hairs. Perfect for both home and on the go, the chic compact carrying case has a built-in magnifying mirror. Available in Black, Gold and Red.

Color Me Pro Edition Applicator is available to all women who want a professional, long-wearing application of liquid foundation, BB cream, CC cream, even highlighter and contouring makeup. Featuring the sonic tapping technology that Color Me is known for, the Pro Edition is turbo-charged to deliver award winning superior coverage for 8 hours. The Pro Edition also features universal sponges that can be used with any formula – wet or dry, liquid or powder – eliminating the need to switch sponges between formulas. The device taps 250 times per second mimicking a makeup artist’s hands. The tapping sets your makeup into place so it looks flawless and lasts longer in between touch ups. $68

Gerard Cosmetics Color Your Smile Lighted Lip Gloss is available in 30 shades! There is a Built-in Light and Built-in mirror. The LED light make touch-ups effortless, anytime and anywhere. The high impact colors are long lasting and the formulas contain collagen peptide technology to hydrate and plump your lips. $24

The MakeupDrop is a Silicone Makeup Applicator designed to completely eliminate wasted makeup. While sponge applicators soak up large amounts of makeup during application, the MakeupDrop perfectly applies and blends your foundation, blush, highlighter, and concealer without absorbing one drop! Only half the amount of product is needed.
Simply apply primer, foundation, powder, cream blush or any other complexion product directly to either side of the MakeupDrop™ and blend across the face for flawless results. $20

#NYFW, How to Get the Natural Look with a Deep Part from Jason Wu

How to Get the Natural Look with a Deep Part from Jason Wu

Styled by NYFW Ambassador for TRESemmé, Holli Smith, this pony yields an effortless chic look that’s perfect to transition from day to night.

STYLIST TIP: “Enhancing your hair’s natural texture will personalize the look, making it unique to you.” – Holli Smith.

STEP 1: Start by washing your hair with TRESemmé Botanique Nourish and Replenish Shampoo and Conditioner for smooth and silky hair.

STEP 2: Apply a small amount of the TRESemmé TRES TWO Extra Hold Mousse and evenly distribute throughout hair for control and added texture.

STEP 3: Divide the hair into four equal sections and blow-dry each section, making sure to leave a bit of natural texture on the ends.

STEP 4: Create a deep part, making sure that the part is not perfect and is slightly messy. Leave a small group of wisps to frame the face.

STEP 5: Brush hair back towards the nape of the neck to create a very low ponytail. Spray TRESemmé TRES TWO Freeze Hold Hair Spray before continuing to comb hair back with fingers, minimizing the appearance of perfectly brushed hair.

STEP 6: With your chin down, secure hair in a very low ponytail with an elastic.

STEP 7: Finish by blow drying out the ends of the ponytail with hands to elongate.

TRESEMMÉ PRODUCTS USED TO ACHIEVE THE LOOK:

· Botanique Nourish and Replenish Shampoo and Conditioner

· TRES TWO Extra Hold Mousse

· TRES TWO Freeze Hold Hair Spray

THE TOOLS NEEDED TO ACHIEVE THE LOOK: Blow dryer and a hair tie; Try ghd

Nikki Leigh stars in Lifetime’s “Open Marriage”

LIFETIME TELEVISION’S NIKKI LEIGH TALKS OPEN MARRIAGE

Lifetime Open Marriage

Lifetime Open Marriage

At Its a Glam Thing we are big fans of Lifetime television! We are so glad to have a new IAGT friend, actress Nikki Leigh. We caught up with Nikki to ask her a few questions about her starring role in the new Lifetime film, Open Marriage which airs this Saturday, January 14th .

Nikki Leigh actress
Open Marriage is about Becca (Leigh) and Ron, a married couple whose marriage is less than exciting and has been lacking sexual sparks for some time. When their best friends tell them that they are engaging in an open marriage, Becca and Ron’s curiosity leads them to start swinging with their friends. Now that the spark in their marriage has been reignited, it does not come without a cost. Soon their anything goes world is filled with hurt, betrayal and heartache. As their marriage begins totally unravel, a mysterious stalker intervenes with the intent of driving them further apart, ending in bloodshed.

IAGT: Will you tell us a little bit about working on this film?

NL: Working on this film was such a beautiful experience. Director, Sam Irvin was such a pleasure to work with and really knows what he wants and wants to get out of you. Tilky, Jason, Kelly and I grew very close and we each put in a lot of time and effort into this movie. Everyday after we wrapped, we would all continue working by going over to someone’s place and run all the lines and scenes for the next day. The work ethic and amount of care for this film was undeniable and I am super blessed to have worked with actors who shared that.

IAGT: This film has some explicit subject matter. Will you us how you approached the material?

NL: I had so much care for this project and my co-stars so it made it easier to be comfortable with the subject matter. I trusted everyone who was a part of this film so that allowed for a pleasant experience. It could have been a totally different experience had I had a different actor playing my husband. I felt safe exploring the subject and the fact that this is a real situation or option for some couples made me relaxed. It is a serious subject and I give respect to those who are able to try something that might be out of their comfort level in order to save what is really important. As an actress, you have to be able to be in those peoples’ shoes and not come in with judgment.

IAGT: Do you hope women and men like this film and look at it with an open mind?

NL: You have to watch it with no judgment on the subject matter. I hope the women and men who see this film watch it with an open and adventurous mind so that they can really experience it and hopefully re-experience it. Remember that this is a Lifetime film. Many Lifetime films give us the ability to experience the playful, romantic, adventurous, thrilling and edgy sides of life. So allow this to thrill you and to have that exciting envelope pushing feeling of Lifetime greatness. Have a sinful time enjoying this film. Follow Nikki Leigh on social Media…

Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Connie Britton & Infusium

Infusium is excited to celebrate this year’s Golden Globes with Julia Louis-Dreyfus AND Connie Britton, donning their next generation of Infusion products that transform hair heath with every use.

Renowned celebrity stylist, Matthew Monson (@matthewmonzon), worked his magic for Best Actress in a Comedy nominee, Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ effortlessly chic look, while Connie Britton’s gorgeous style was created by celebrity stylist, Enzo Angileri (@enzoangileri). Both stylists used Infusium to ensure these ladies hair stayed healthy during and even after their struts on the red-carpet.

See below for the “How To’s” from Matthew and Enzo, and the Infusium products they used…

Julia Louis-Dreyfus

Julia Louis-Dreyfus

“GET THE LOOK” FROM MATTHEW MONZON:

For Julia Louis Dreyfus’ look tonight I wanted her hair to look soft, shiny and stunning.
First, I washed and conditioned her hair with the Infusium Repair + Renew Shampoo and Conditioner.
Next, to protect her hair from any damage, I sprayed Infusium Repair + Renew Leave-In Treatment from mid shaft through the ends combing through with a wide toothcomb.
Then I took a quarter size amount of Infusium Repair + Renew Leave-In Crème emulsified in my hands, and worked through the last 3 inches of the hair to help eliminate frizz and flyaways.
I started drying her hair using just my hands, and lifting her strands for texture and root volume. After it was half way dry, I incorporated a round brush to finish and create even more volume.
To keep with Julia’s signature style, I created a strong center part with a tailcomb. Then separated her hair into large sections, and starting curling using a large barrel iron for a more tousled feeling.
To finish the look, I used the Infusium Repair + Renew Smoothing Serum to smooth over the ends and give a bit more definition to the hair.

Connie Britton

“GET THE LOOK” FROM ENZO ANGILERI:

I wanted Connie’s style to look elegant, shiny and smooth.
I started by washing and conditioning her hair with the Infusium Repair + Renew Shampoo and Conditioner.
While her hair was still wet, I parted the hair down the middle and then sprayed Infusium Repair + Renew Leave-In Treatment to the ends of her hair.
Then I sectioned her hair into about 20 sections and starting drying with a round brush. After, I pinned each section up like a roller and let it set for about 5 minutes for volume and natural wave. I took out the pins and brushed her hair so the waves would loosen.
Starting from the back of the head, I used a 1.5 inch curling iron and began curling the hair to accentuate the soft waves.
When finished, I lightly brushed it out again for that natural look. I applied the Infusium Repair + Renew Smoothing Serum at the top of her head, near her part to avoid fly aways!

“Stylist Brad Goreski chose a stunning black and navy blue gown, given the classic color combination I decided to edge it up with a strong smokey eye, dewy highlighted skin and a nude lip with a brown undertone,” said Allan.

Allan prepped Sarah’s skin by using the new Advanced Ceramide Capsules Daily Youth Restoring Eye Serum under the eyes, and moisturized and softened lips with a few swipes of Eight Hour® Cream Lip Protectant Stick SPF 15.

To create a smoldering smokey eye, Allan used Elizabeth Arden‘s Beautiful Color Eyeshadow in Sparkling Sable, Bronze Lustre and Sugar Cube.

He then applied Beautiful Color Precision Glide Eyeliner in Black Velvet on the upper lashline dragging it towards her temples creating a cat eye shape and finally rimmed the bottom waterline with the in the Sapphire shade.

For flutter and volume, he applied two generous coats of Grand Entrance Mascara in Stunning Black to her top and bottom lashes, and defined and deepened her brows with Beautiful Color Natural Eye Brow Pencil in Brownette.
