You’re dying over my lashes right? I am! When it comes to wearing fake lashes, I have a policy: Go big or go home. (Or rather, go big or just don’t bother). Then again, I have naturally pretty decent ones so the last thing I want to do is glue something to my eye-lid that’s the same size. For drama queens like me and everything in between, Eylure has it all and at affordable prices – Just ask Katy Perry!
I was first turned onto to Eylure through their collaboration with Katy Perry of which she was very involved in and designed the collection to her specifications. However, after attending a recent press event the brand, I have learned so much about fake lashes that I’m so excited to share with you! (Especially for my fellow readers that are terrible at applying them on themselves.)
Last week I joined BeautyStat along with Celebrity Makeup Artist Joanna Schlip, and blogger, Aly Walansky for Physicians Formula‘s #PFSummerGlow Twitter Party. During our chat we gave makeup tips and answered participants questions as well as gave away loads of products! Since the theme was all about getting your summer glow on (hence the hashtag #PFSummerGlow), here’s Beauty Stat and PF’s top product recommendations for sexy siren eyes and bronzed bombshell skin:
Buxom is one of those beauty brands that I’ve been meaning to experiment with more. They are exclusive to Sephora and have this very sultry, burlesque-like appeal that’s going to wow and stand out with every makeup piece you put on. And last week they put on quite a show! Hosting a
Last month, I channeled my inner Blaire Wardorf and headed to Bergdorf Goodman for a lovely breakfast and sneak peek at some of the great beauty launches coming this fall! So many of the brands featured have been on my radar such as Bakel, Lancer and Illuminage but prior to this event I haven’t had a solid chance to speak to the brand representatives to get the 411. Many of the products featured below, some of which are Bergdorf exclusives are available now. Otherw, you’re going to just have to wait until the fall!
BAKEL – Bakel launched at Bergdorf’s in January. They are a Biotech line from Italy that has been in Europe for the past 9 years. They use 100% active ingredients and use no preservatives, silicone, fragrance, parabens. Derived from botanicals it’s an all vegan, organic certified line that uses no emulsifiers.
Woohoo! My 6 part Nair Digital Campaign has launched as part of their Timeless Beauty Revelations series launched in partnership with Glam.com. Check out my video on “How To Maintain A Gorgeous Glow Throughout The Year”!
GLOSSYBOX has been on a role with exciting collaborations including Net-A-Porter, Bergdorf Goodman, La Prairie and as I featured last week, with Cosmoprof. This week, I’m excited to announce their collaboration with, C. Wonder!
Just in time for the 4th of July, the leading luxury subscription-based beauty service created a custom Independence Day-themed box of beauty products, for the revolutionary lifestyle brand. The custom box, featuring
I got this pitch recently and thought it was interesting… BrandSpark International just announced its list of BrandSpark Most Trusted Brands of 2014, the result of a survey of 86,000 American shoppers. The winning Health & Beauty Brands are:
Cosmoproof North America (CPNA), is one of the fastest growing trade shows and the leading international B2B Beauty event in North America, and it’s is going down in Las Vegas from July 13th-15th. Recently, they announced a collaboration with global subscriber beauty box company, GLOSSYBOX! Fitting they are both wonderful for introducing beauty products from around the world to the US market.
So how exciting is this! I partnered with Beauty High to show you how to ombré your hair at home using the NEW L’Oréal Paris’ Feria at-home ombré hair dye kit.
Have you always wanted to try the ombré hair trend but didn’t want to spend the money or time at a salon? Well now you don’t have to! L’Oréal Paris’ Feria at-home ombré hair dye kitis an easy at-home kit at a fraction of the cost of salons and it took me less then an hour to do my locks! Plus nothing beats being in the comfort of your own home when getting your hair did (especially since most of the time you’re just sitting around). And for anyone that already has an ombre but it’s fading or growing out, this kit is the easiest (and most inexpensive way) to help you maintain your look.
Considering summer is here, what better time to try out a fun new hairstyle? For someone like me who has dark hair, I don’t have a lot of options, especially given that I have long hair and don’t want to fry my roots (or cut it to do something and different). An ombre is the best solution since it looks good with any hair color and hair length, and it’s such low maintenance — you don’t have to worry about your roots growing in! Plus, you decide how low or high the ombre goes. For me I like it at the bottom so if by the end of summer I’m over it, it’s just an easy hair cut from going away. Minimal commitment needed.
In the video above, I show you how to get the look and home and walk you through the steps of using the L’oréal Feria Wild Ombré Hair Kit. The whole process took maybe an hour and could not have been easier!
Step 1: Make sure your hair is dry and detangled, and put on the plastic safety gloves.
Step 2: Put the shimmering powder packet into the bottle, put the flat cap on, and shake. Put the lightening cream into the bottle, put the flat cap on and shake. Then replace with the applicator cap.
Step 3: Part your hair naturally and clip your top layer of hair up to access the bottom layer of your hair.
Step 4: Squeeze the dye evenly onto the applicator brush, and brush it onto the bottom parts of your hair that you would like ombré. Add more product until the lengths are completely saturated, and let sit for 25 minutes.
Step 5: Use the conditioning shampoo, rinse, and style as usual!
Now all you need is to pick up a kit for yourself and you’re ready to DIY ombré your hair at home!
