Get Inspired by Women (and pass it on!) with Moroccanoil

international-womens-day-moroccanoil-gotham-magazine-dinner
On Tuesday, I had the absolute pleasure of joining Gotham Magazine and Moroccanoil on International Women’s Day for an intimate luncheon with Co-Founder, Carmen Tal. The event highlighted the brands #InspiredbyWomen campaign and video series directed by Bryce Dallas Howardo. Moroccanoil’s journey started with an inspired woman, and women continue to inspire our brand every day. Carmen’s commitment to women to both empower them and harness confidence is evident in her products and leadership.

She helps women doing incredible things have a louder voice like Rebecca Welsh, Founder of The HALO who spoke during the event. The HALO foundation supports orphaned and at-risk youth and the work they do is so incredible. The video Moroccanoil created about them as part of the INSPIRED BY WOMEN series had the entire room a little choked up (you can watch it below).

Get involved! Join the INSPIRED BY WOMEN™ conversation by sharing a woman in their life who inspires them via social media, using the hashtag #InspiredbyWomen.

For me it’s all of the usual suspects, my mom, grandma… and someone who is new to my life, Cindy my photographer (photoed above). She’s so giving and kind and her enthusiasm for life and openness inspires me. Incidentally, I was writing this today and she saw my Moroccanoil Treatment and her eyes went big with envy saying, “When I was living in Beijing my hair was so dry and breaking, Moroccanoil saved my hair… It’s like really amazing!” She assumed I was writing a product review so I told her she could have it if she let me take a picture of her with it. Little did she know it’s because she’s my #inspiredbywoman pick!

{PC Review} Herbal Essences Moroccan My Shine Shampoo and Conditioner

Herbal Essences Moroccan My Shine Shampoo and Conditioner

Winter can be brutal on my hair, which is why I generally use more hydrating products and oils to help keep it in check. Recently, I’ve been using the Herbal Essences Moroccan My Shine line which stays true to their signature allure while also adding an extra touch of the islands–it smells incredible and the aroma lasts for days.  Working up to an incredible lather, the formula contains both conditioning ingredients to help cleanse the hair without stripping it and touch of Morocco’s legendary 100% natural argan oil extract for added softness and shine.  I have been incredibly pleased with the performance of this product, especially since most of the argan oil infused products on the market are double the price.  My hair feels soft and hydrated, and I even met a friend a day after washing whom commented on how amazing my hair smelled—and actually asked if it was Herbal Essences (true story)!

Try it for yourself and let me know what you think!

NYFW: PC Backstage + Front for the The Blonds s/s 2013 Runway Show with Amanda Lepore, Paris Hilton and Adam Lambert

Makeup by MAC, Hair by MorrocanOil, Nails by CND

There really is NO fashion show like The Blonds. It’s the show I look forward to the most every season — the energy, the outfits, the trannys… it’s so much fun! And this season the queen of this scene, Amanda Lepore was there!!!

There are 3 parts to the show — the backstage, the audience, and the runway show. Yes, all shows have all three but what sets this show apart is each of these elements could be an event in and of themselves.

The theme fore this years collection: “Psycho Beach Party”. Can you hear the JAWS theme song in your head? (You will soon.)

BACKSTAGE:

So, starting with backstage, Phillipe (The Blonds ultra sexy designer and creator) is prancing around getting beautified for he/her big moment — she’s also a model or rather the star of the show.

CND’s Kristina Estabrooks created the nails which consisted of an elaborate array of detailed designs including Shark Bites, skinny dip blue, and red caviar over CND Colour in Blackjack!

Seriously though, how ridic are the 3-D black shark nails???

MAC Cosmetics did the makeup focusing on the on the eyes . Working an exaggerated black liner below the lower lashes coupled with mega fake lashes on top for some extra drama.

Isaac Mizrahi for Kleinfeld 2012 Bridal Collection + Runway Show

On April 18th at Kleinfeld presented the ISAAC MIZRAHI New York for Klienfeld 2012 bridal collection in NYC with an intimate runway show and celebratory reception. I had never been to Kleinfeld’s before and was completely taken by it’s serenity and elegance of the store.

The show opened and out came the models sporting tight, low buns with flowing gowns. 15 dresses in the collection, which had an abundance of tulle, sparkles, sachets and contrast of white and black. The black laces up some of the white dresses was a surprise touch as was the finale black gown.

A stunning collection — I expected as much. Enjoy it for yourself, I filmed it for you:)
