Straight from the stylist: get the look

Rosamund Pike’s look was a showstopper at last night’s 87th annual Academy Awards.
Her hair was styled exclusively with Oscar Blandi products by Kylee Rae Heath. Here is the breakdown straight from Kylee:

“It was key to have it look easy and untried. We wanted to create tons of texture.”

Kylee Rae Heath

Kylee Rae Heath

TO CREATE THE LOOK:
1. Starting on damp hair I sprayed Oscar Blandi Protein Mist throughout the hair.

2. I then applied Oscar Blandi Hair Lift Mousse and combed the product through.

3. Next, I blew her hair out creating volume and movement. Before using a Sultra 3/4 inch sized barrel and a 1inch sized marcel iron to create texture, I sprayed Oscar Blandi Dry Styling Heat Protect Spray.

4. Once the texture was in place, I used a comb to section from behind the left ear, over the head to the top of the right ear.

5. I pulled the back section into a ponytail. Then, looking in a mirror together, I pulled the front section back to meet the ponytail securing with bobby pins.

6. I sprayed the look into place and twisted the ponytail into a bun and pinned it. Then finished the look with the Pronto Lacca Medium Hold Hairspray and applied the Polish Glossing Creme to the short hair of her undercut.

all 3

Dr. Teal’s Pure Epsom Salt Soaking Solution

epson salt Dr. Teal’s Pure Epsom Salt Soaking Solution is a must have. I work out 6 days a week my body is always sore, so I have always had that box of Epsom salt under my sink. Soaking my tired, achy muscles was just part of my regiment but I must say from the moment I opened up the bag of Dr. Teal’s Pure Epsom Salt Relax and Relief the scent of mint filled the bathroom and my mood instantly shifted. I took a deep breath and smiled, it was no longer just my traditional Epsom Salt soaking, I have now entered my own personal spa. The aroma is so relaxing and once you slip into that hot tub you are in heaven. My muscles was so relaxed and my skin felt so smooth, I enjoyed my “me” time and look forward to my next spa date.

Dr. Teal’s can be found at Walmart.

Jeff Chastain launches hair care at Birchbox

NYC CELEBRITY HAIR STYLIST JEFF CHASTAIN
LAUNCHES HAIR CARE LINE EXCLUSIVELY ON BIRCHBOX.COM

Jeff Chastin

Parlor haircare

February 2, 2015 – NEW YORK, NEW YORK, Today Jeff Chastain, a New York City celebrity hair stylist, and Birchbox, a leading beauty and grooming company, announce the launch of PARLOR by Jeff Chastain, a line of multitasking hair care and styling products that combine professional quality with everyday ease for fresh, no-fuss style. Chastain – whose celebrity clients include Sarah Jessica Parker, Kerry Washington, Keri Russell, Sam Rockwell, Chris Messina, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Kristen Taekman, among others – designed and developed the collection exclusively for Birchbox.

Inspired by his signature practice of “product cocktailing” – using several different products at once – Chastain created PARLOR by Jeff Chastain, blending the benefits of his favorite products into single, easy-to-use formulas. The launch collection, available today on Birchbox.com, consists of four unisex products: Moisturizing Sea Salt Spray, Smoothing Blow Out Spray, Detangling Leave-In Conditioner and Reworkable Hold Paste. Two additional products – the Texturizing Finishing Spray and Flexible Hold Spray – will launch in May 2015.

“In my experience working with other salon hair brands, I’ve noticed that you often have to use two or more products together to get the desired effect. This always leaves you with too many products in your bathroom that you aren’t using,” says Jeff Chastain. “Every product in the PARLOR by Jeff Chastain line can be used alone to get great style because I’ve done the mixing for you.”

All products contain nourishing sweet almond extract and feature a refined but addictive fragrance with notes of ripe peach, fresh cut grass, and white woods. The bottles and secondary packaging have a premium, soft-touch finish with a sleek silhouette to give the collection a luxury-brand feel at a more accessible price point.

“Jeff Chastain is a long time friend of mine, Hayley’s, and the brand,” said Katia Beauchamp, Birchbox, Co-Founder and Co-CEO. “When Jeff came to us about launching his first hair care line, it was a natural fit. We loved the products and his vision for the line, and really stand behind this brand.”

PARLOR by Jeff Chastain is available today exclusively on Birchbox.com and at the Birchbox store in SoHo, with products retailing individually from $24.00-$28.00.

o Debut Collection – February 2, 2015
§ Moisturizing Sea Salt Spray – $24.00: part beach wave spray, part leave-in conditioner, giving hair that covetable surfer-girl texture without the drying effects of salt water
§ Smoothing Blow Out Spray – $24.00: an all-in-one hear protectant, blow-dry aid, and smoothing treatment
§ Detangling Leave-In Conditioner – $24.00: the perfect detangler combined with thermal protection in the form of a leave-in conditioner
§ Reworkable Hold Paste – $24.00: combines the softness and flexibility of a styling cream with the definition of a paste
o May 2015 Launch (waitlist)
§ Texturizing Finishing Spray – $28.00
§ Flexible Hold Spray – $24.00

Brush & dry easily with Goody

As a licensed hairstylist my job is to teach you the best ways to take care of your hair at home. Everything from to shampoo and condition down to properly blow dry. I have done many women with extremely thick long hair that seems to take forever to dry. They always tell me that half the time they just skip blow drying all together because of how long it takes. I can’t say I blame them. I have always had thick hair and when I was younger my mom used to just put it pigtail braids so I wouldn’t have to worry about it. With Christmas just right around the corner, the best gift you can give to those “thick haired girls” on your list is the QuikStyle Paddle Brush from Goody.

Goody QuikStyle Paddle Brush

Goody QuikStyle Paddle Brush

What makes this paddle brush so unique is the microfiber bristles that help to remove water and dry hair faster. It’s like a towel and a hairbrush in one. I at times like to flat iron my hair and the whole process from beginning to end takes forever. Even though it’s short now, it still does. The other night I went out with some friends and was running a little late. When I got out of the shower I let my hair dry in the towel for about 5 minutes then took it out. I did my face and then went to my hair. I grabbed my blow dryer and my QuikStyle Paddle Brush then proceeded. The microfibers in the bristles were very gentle and helped dry my hair in half the time with incredible shine as well. Imagine that. Now we can get ready for work, holiday parties and dinner in a snap.

Watch video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnD6jjqGUMQ&feature=youtu.be

Mom’s & dad’s.. can you imagine blow drying your daughter or son’s hair in half the time? No more “OW MOM”!!! or “this is taking forever”. So give the gift of hairstyling ease this holiday with QuikStyle Paddle Brush from Goody. For more styling tools and accessories visit www.goody.com

The life saver for the makeup junkie; The Beauty Butler

Are you a makeup junkie but yet always seem to lose your favorite makeup product? I know I do. Or are you always searching through your cluttered makeup bag and can’t find anything? It seems no matter how hard we try to organize, label and even separate our most used makeup products we tend to always lose them. Not only that but I have also wasted so much money on buying new products because the minute I buy something new I find the old product I had replaced. Isn’t that a very familiar story?
