Kirsten Dunst Shines with Suave at the Premiere Of FX’s “Fargo” Season 2

491795280

The Lastest from SUAVE Professionals: For those who didn’t catch the first season of Fargo, there’s a reason to tune in – and said reason is the bold and brilliant Kirsten Dunst who stunned at last night’s season two premiere.

Her daring red lip and effortless waves created the perfect hybrid of natural beauty and glam. We tapped Suave Professionals Celebrity Stylist Jenny Cho to share the inspiration behind the look and her exclusive tips on how to recreate it with some of her favorite products.

Kirsten Dunst’s Look

According to Jenny, “I was inspired by her chic bob, so I wanted the main point of focus for tonight’s look be her beautiful texture, which I paired with a deep side part.”
· Apply Suave Professionals Luxe Style Infusion Curl Defining Gel Serum to towel-dried hair, make a deep side part, and blow-dry with a diffuser until strands are completely dry.

· Relax some of the curlier pieces by misting Suave Professionals Flexible Control Finishing Hairspray onto sections and running over them lightly with a flat iron.

Stylist Tip: Uneven texture is the key to this look. Be mindful that you are relaxing the curlier pieces and not flat ironing to make them straight.

· Lastly, refresh hair with a burst of Suave Professionals Moroccan Infusion Weightless Dry Shampoo and then lock in the final look with a blast of hairspray.
All of the above mentioned products range from $2.69 to $4.99 at mass retailers, select drugstores and supermarkets nationwide.

It’s so much fun looking pretty with Skinn Cosmetics

 

IMG_1506

**Skinn Cosmetics has certainly outdone themselves when it comes to their Cosmetics line. My daughter and I recently snagged some foundation, lipstick and primer and they are amazing. The Full Pigment Lipstick in Nudist (also available in Rusted Red) is all mine. My daughter knows I am a lipstick and lip gloss queen and she wasn’t going to get her hands on it. The color I chose is a perfect color for fall. Not only is the color beautiful, it features an inner core infused with Argan and Rosehip Oil which allows your lips to remain moisturized while sporting a fabulous color. It’s the best of both world where your lips are concerned.

unnamedMy daughter snagged the Eyeshadow Primer and Setting Veil. She has an incredible talent for combining the right colors to her eyes making them look glamorous all day long. The Primer/Setting Veil allows her to apply  eye make-up and have it last throughout the day. This is a great feature for a girl who is busy all day long. Eyeshadow Primer and Setting Veil is infused with beneficial ingredients like antioxidant-rich Grape Seed Oil, Ginseng Extract, and Vitamins A, C, and E.

First, Adrienne applies the silky eyeshadow primer to her lids allowing for a smooth finish and to hide any discolorations. Next, she apply her favorite eye shadow colors and finally, with a Blending Brush (Skinn carries a blending brush that works like a charm) she lightly applies the translucent setting veil.   The final result, an amazing look that will last and last.

Full Coverage Foundation has 5 shades (Medium, Fair, Light, Deep and Tawny) which should accommodate most skin tones. This is Skinn’s first-ever Plasma Fusion Full Coverage Foundation stick and the fist stick foundation I have tried.

The stick offers the convenience of not worrying about spillage from power or liquid foundations when in your cosmetic bag. The stick is also perfect for touch ups, no mess involved.  Full Coverage Foundation certainly offers full coverage and the lightweight formula, vanishes into your skin , you won’t even feel it.  If you have long nails than a foundation stick is a must have especially if you blend with your finger tips. Simply dab the foundation and blend with the top of your fingers.

Like the lipstick, the foundation stick has a core that contains Vitaman C for brightening, Hyaluronic Acid for hydration  a Peptide blend for anti-aging effects as well as Grape Seed, Argan and Rosehip Oils for antioxidant and skin conditioning benefits.  Check out Skinn Cosmetics new Fall line aned snag a few items for yourself. Skinn Cosmetics can be purchased at www.skinn.com and on EVINE Live.

**Skinn Cosmetics is a line of premium skincare and color cosmetic formulas developed by professional makeup artist Dimitri James. Skinn formulates and manufactures all of its own products, using highly active, concentrated natural ingredients and avoiding excess water, fillers or packaging. From concept to compact, from brainstorm to bottle, every product worthy of the Skinn name comes to life under one roof, and under James’ watchful eye.

Button Up For Fall 2015

Whilst walking the streets of New York City, I am already seeing the Fall 2015 fashion trends start to emerge. Some trends are actually re-emerging after 40 years, like the  button front denim skirt. This trendy skirt is unquestionably an important key item for the Fall 2015 season.

hedvig-opshaug-byline-widget5-1 381336_xc239_2220_001_web_full

Pair this 70’s styled skirt with a t-shirt, turtleneck, sweater, or even embrace your inner flower child with a flowy floral top. I am obsessed with both the denim and corduroy version of this skirt. Each will give your outfit a unique tone when you match it with the perfect top and shoe style.

Affordable versions of this adorable button down skirt can be found at Forever 21, Macy’s and H&M.

Selfridges & Co.: Over 100 years of service

6 floors, every designer you can think of and even a hair salon Selfridges & Co. is a store that was built with one thing in mind, the customer. Founded & built in 1909 by an American man named Harry Gordon Selfridge, Selfridges department store changed the way the world (especially women) looked at shopping. While I was visiting London my mom and I took a detour to the well known Oxford Street & scoped out the one of a kind store.

Selfridges & Co.

Selfridges & Co.

Walking around and learning the history of the store I learned that Harry was the first person to ever install public restrooms & was one of the first stores to have & sell premade clothing. As his success grew, the more & more Mr. Selfridge tried to better the shopping experience. Whether you were there just to pick something up or wanted to spend the day, it really had something for everyone. Restaurants, hair salon and hey even a bedding department lol. And the customer service was top notch! Every employee wanted to make sure you got what you wanted, listened and had the best experience possible. This store made some of our department stores look like doll houses.

Inside Selfridges & Co.

Inside Selfridges & Co.

If you found that something’s may be to expensive, Harry solved that problem too by putting in cheaper priced items such as cards, ornaments and more. As I was told there was even something for every occasion such as Christmas, Halloween etc. The store display windows where decked with flowers and every designer had their own little boutique within the store. This place, oh how I wish I could show & share so much more with you but pictures and my words do not do it justice AT ALL!! Now don’t worry, I wont leave you hanging on this but YES you can buy from Selfridges and have them shipped over to the USA. Visit www.selfridges.com for all of the designers, makeup and more. Also check out pictures, & more history on the store by visiting any web browser. You will not believe your eyes and it will have you saying “Thank You Mr. Harry Gordon Selfridge”.
