For Alice and Olivia’s spring/summer 2016 presentation it was all about the statement eye! CEO Stacey Bendet partnered with Stila for a look that kept the face and lips natural while creating a beautiful encrusted gold statement eye. The models skin was prepped with products from Skin Inc to keep the complexion dewey and natural. Since pretty, dessert skin was such a focus on this look the models were prepped with Skin Inc’s Pure Revival Peel, nourishes with a customized serum (which is what Skin Inc is all about – you can mix and match ingredients based on your skincare goals). The skincare was then sealed in with the Pure Deepsea Hydrating Mask (including under the eyes). And for the under eyes they then applied the Vitamin A Serum on top.

Our New Favorite Neutrogena Products
Before I get into this post, I’m not going to even mention the classic Neutrogena face wipes, because we all know they are the best! So we’re moving on to some new and classic products that are on my list. One of my longstanding favorite Neutrogena products is their Triple Moisture Deep Recovery Hair Mask. I swear by it! In fact it’s probably my favorite hair mask of all time. Recently, Neutrogena hosted two events that I was lucky enough to make it to. The first was with Kerry Washington’s personal hair stylist, Takisha Sturdivant-Drew to talk about two of the brands iconic products, the Triple Moisture Deep Recovery Mask and their Anti-Residue Shampoo. The other event was to introduce their NEW Ultra Light Cleansing Oil. Also this summer Neutrogena introduced a new SPF range, CoolDry Sport Sunscreen that is phenomenal for anyone that works out outdoors.
NYFW: Erin Fetherston Spring/Summer 2016 Collection
As expected Erin Fetherston’s collection was soft and feminine filled with romantic florals and ethereal dresses. Long slip dresses of blues, florals and with (mixed with a few red dresses), some topped with caplets or sheer prints, floated down the runway. Other dresses harken back to Edwardian times with high necklines. Each model walked across the runway on a cloud offemininity. However there was an unexpected twist to this year’s collection. Mixed among the feminine dresses were playful pieces of denim. Keeping with Fetherston’s esthetic the denim was soft and femine. The easy fitting overalls shorts and culottes were a welcome addition to her normally fanciful clothing.
