A Message from Sam Villa and Redken 5th … Pack Less Do More

Displaying 494605_Two Day Extender-2 copy.jpg

 

April, 2015 (New York, NY) – Every woman wants to pack less stuff and do more with it, especially when it comes to doing hair…women want simple ways to create nonchalant looks with polish.  Sam Villa, Founding Partner of Sam Villa and Education Artistic Director for Redken 5th, highlights 3 streamline products women can pack to create endless styling options.

Dry Shampoo: There’s no reason to shampoo hair everyday when traveling, it takes time and damages hair, use Redken Pillow Proof Blow Dry Two Day Extender and Oil Absorbing Shampoo to refresh hair and absorb oil to extend the life of a blow-dry by two days.   Shake well and spray evenly onto hair; brush through with aSam Villa Styling and Detangling Brush to remove any excess and style as usual.

Styler to Combat Oil and Increase Volume: Redken powder grip 03 texturizing hair powder increases volume and reduces oil. Carry this in your purse to refresh volume on-the-go, after a flight, in a restaurant bathroom – anywhere.  Simply shoot powder grip 03 on the base of the area that needs volume.  For longer hair, shoot product at the entire base of the hair strands for extra body.

Spray: Most people need either volume or shine.  For volume, Hold Redken control addict 28 extra high hold hairspray 8-12 inches away and mist on dry hair – layer for added hold. Provides 24 hour control against humidity without residue or flaking – it has ultimate brushability and flexibility, so changing styles is a cinch.  For shine, lightly mist Redken shine flash 02 glistening mist on hair for a high-gloss finish and dose of vitamins.

That itsy bitsy little carry-on bag can now be toted with confidence knowing that every day will be a good hair day!   Consumers can visit http://www.samvilla.com/how-to for other tips, tricks, how to’s, tips and step-by-steps.

SAVANNAH BEE, My hands have never looked better

Unknown-2

I am always on the lookout for a great hand cream to use during the cold winter months or after gardening or after my hands spend a lot of time in water.  In other words, I need to replenish and nourish my raw, hard working hands.  Savannah Bee Company Beeswax Hand Cream is perfect for dry damaged hands but is also gentle enough to use as an “all over” dry skin remedy.  There is instant relief for my cracked thumbs.  It does not burn when I apply like other lotions do.  It has a natural scent to it with no heavy perfume scent which I love!!  Smells nice not overpowering.  I like to describe the scent as a warm pecan and berry scent.  It makes me happy as I am very sensitive to strong perfume smells!  It naturally protects and hydrates brittle, rough hands with essential nutrients directly from the hive. Beeswax creates a natural barrier between your skin and the cold, dry air.  It seems almost solid in the jar but as soon as you scoop it out and apply it to your skin, it melts like butter.  I love the texture.  It goes on easy and sinks into your skin.  It does not leave your skin greasy or sticky.  It has a beautiful, peach scented texture which absorbs, moisturizes quickly into your skin.  I love to apply it on my hands using moisturizing gloves right before I go to bed.  I also use it on the rough patches of the heels of my feet and my dry, flakey elbows.  In the morning my hands, elbows and feet are super soft and healthy!  Savannah Bee Company Beeswax Hand Cream lasts a long time and you rarely need to reapply unless you wash your hands.  The beeswax helps to lock in your natural skin oil!  Savannah Bee Company Beeswax Hand Cream has pecan and peach kernel oils and anti-oxidizing blueberry extract to soften and heal skin.   When my jar of Savannah Bee Hand Cream is running low, I will definitely be repurchasing a new one!  Terrific product that I must have at all times!  My hands have never looked better!  You can purchase Savannah Bee Company Beeswax Hand Cream at www.savannahbee.com —  comes in 3.4 oz. glass jar or 1.7 fl oz tube

Fashion and more

Yiota & Thessy Kouzoukas, owners and founders of Sabo Skirt, wandered the event with top fashion bloggers in the industry such as Natalie Suarez of Natalie Off Duty, Dylana Suarez, and Amy Pham, to name a few. Sunday pool tunes were provided from the likes of Warpaint, Bixel Boys, and The Misshapes, who features model and “It” girl, Leigh Lezark.

Guests hung out around the floating flamingo pool and lounged in the grass at the estate. The environment created a mini-festival vibe, with opportunities to sport a flower crown from Flower Gypsies, body décor from Flash Tattoos, and floral photos booths for attendees to capture images for social media provided by Australian model publication, AMFAM: All My Friends Are Models. With an RSVP rate of over 7,000 people, Sabo Springs was one of the most desired parties to attend in the Coachella Valley party circuit.

Confidence is key

Empowerment, motivation, confidence, just a few things the More Than Enough Inc. fashion experience brought to the runway last night in Ocala, Florida. A non-profit, faith based organization, More Than Enough Inc. was created in 2006 by Shawana Vikors. Having worked in the fashion industry for some time, Shawana opened More Than Enough Inc. with the mindset to help men, women boys and girls that what God gave them is all they need to succeed.

Unlike any fashion show I have ever been to, More Than Enough kicked it off with a bang! Starting off in “Majestic Africa”, the show featured different parts of life we all can relate to in some way. Being a mom, the life of a child, and just wanting to feel a little bit sexy. The show was not just about fashion, MTE is about confidence. We see many runways that show one thing when we are all made differently yet beautifully. As the show went on the cheers came as the hosts Chanté & Cavender entertained us, a poet stunned us with her poem and a singer made us think.

MTE even honored a hard working single mother of 5 boys with an all exclusive “Model for a Day” treat. Kenya was their lucky winner. Hard working, active in her church and all over beautiful women, Kenya was rocking her new look. The show also featured TSPA Alumni Rhonda Lane.

More Than Enough

More Than Enough

The biggest thing MTE wants to share with the world is that it is ok to love yourself, to be yourself and to love the gifts you were given. In a troubled world, MTE gives praise to God for his blessing sand knows that nothing would be possible without him. If you would like to learn more and even become part of More Than Enough check out www.mteinc.org There you will see all about their mentoring program EMPOWERU and so much more! Congratulations to Shawana and the MTE team for an awesome first show. You truly are inspirations to many. Keep it up!

Get the Look by Christian Wood, TONI&GUY US Celebrity Stylist

Inspiration: Christian was inspired by star’s ‘young but polished dress.’

The Look: Casual tousled waves

How-to:
· Starting with wet hair, create a center part and spray TONI&GUY Casual Sea Salt Texturising Spray on the roots
· Using a round brush, blow-dry the hair straight in sections
· Next, take a small section of hair at the nape and wrap around a medium-size curling barrel. Start wrapping the hair from the root and leave 2 inches off the ends out to create big loose waves
· Add sculpting powder to the roots to add volume and staying power. Brush out the waves and tuck one side of hair behind the ear
· Finish with TONI&GUY Casual Flexible Hold Hairspray and brush out the hair with fingertips to add texture and keep the waves separated.

Get the look: Shailene Woodley

Best Female Performance winner Shailene Woodley rocked the carpet last night at the 2015 MTV Movie Awards with a French inspired, bold yet naturally radiant look, created by Celebrity Makeup Artist Roxy.

Shailene Woodley

To achieve this look, Roxy hydrated Shailene’s face by applying Laurel Whole Plants Organic Skin Facial Elixir to her face, neck and décolletage. Next, to even out her skin tone and achieve a flawless finish, Roxy applied a sheer foundation with a beauty blender sponge. She then softly played up the definition of Shailene’s cheek bones with a warm cream RMS Bronzer. Following this, for extra radiance, Roxy applied RMS illuminizer down the bridge of Shailene’s nose, above and around the corners of her brows, in a C shaped manner.

For her eyes, Roxy applied a chocolate brown liner along the top and bottom lash lines, diffusing it softly with a petite eye brush. To emphasize the eyes a bit more, she layered a soft black liner on her top lid with a subtle smudge. Last but not least, Roxy focused on Shailene’s lips, applying a mixture of Burt’s Bees Lip Crayons in Napa Vineyard and Redwood Forest ($9, www.burtbees.com), for a rich, bold and creamy red that finished the look flawlessly.
