As we previously announced, Benefit Cosmetics and BaubleBar unveiled three unique gift sets on January 27th. To celebrate, this week we got to meet Benefit beauty genie, Simone and celebrity psychic, Stacey Wolf for an evening of flawless fortunes. After cocktails, makeup touch-ups, and love life predictions, our future is even brighter (especially thanks to our new beauty must-have, their Roller Lash mascara).
Every season the Accessories Council gets together and puts their recommendations of top picks for Valentine’s day spanning accessories, eyewear and the footwear industry. I always enjoy the preview since it introduces me to new brands. Here’s what made the list:
After the much success of the Redken Diamond Oil (have you tried it? We’re obsessed!), they expanded the line late last year to now include a Diamond Oil Shampoo, Conditioner and Mask!
If the packaging isn’t enough to attract you to these sparkling beauties, the results to your hair will! The shampoo and conditioner look like they are made with tiny pieces of shimmering diamonds submersed in the formula. And ok, while it might not be real diamonds, it could just be the next best thing! The Diamond Oil Haircare line contains a blend of natural apricot, camelina and coriander oils which penetrate to the core and from the inside out to not only strengthens your hair (3X stronger), it also adds shine (by 2X)!
Throughout the bitter winter months my hair usually takes quite a beating (static, dry, dull, ugh), but with three weeks of Redken’s Sparkling Oil Complex nourishing it those days seem far behind me. The IPN technology (included in the shampoo, conditioner, and mask) work together in the wet and dry phases to repair hair. Here’s the breakdown of how it works:
I wash my hair 2-3 times a week and in the in-between phases used the Shatterproof Shine Intense on the ends of my hair to keep them nourished. I also recently dyed the tips of my hair so the contrast from before and after has been dramatic. Where my hair felt stiff and damaged before it now feels soft and manageable. Just add 2-3 drops in the palm of your had, rub together to warm and distribute to the tips of your hair (or where ever the driest area is for you). Added bonus: It smells great too.
Disclaimer: I received a sample.
Katy Perry rocked the half time show in Jeremy Scott’s flaming two piece (and 3 other outfit changes in the course of the event) opposite her signature perfect cat-eye, and red lips from COVERGIRL. The look was created by makeup artist Jake Bailey (we love Jake!). Here’s how he created the look!
