Hair How To: Model Look

Hairstylist: Bok-Hee for Cantu

  1. Starting with the natural hair texture, work through a small amount of Cantu Wave Whip Curling Mousse($5.99, Target.com) to define natural wave pattern
  2. Take a large section from the sides, top and crown area and loosely pull into messy half bun, using an elastic to secure it in place. Make sure to leave a few wispy pieces falling naturally along the sides of the face back through the nape of the neck.
  3. Gently tug on hair that is pulled back to add slight imperfections, then loosely pin the bun to head.
  4. Spritz Cantu Coil Calm Detangler ($4.97, Walmart.com) to loosen and define texture of hair that is not in the knot
  5. Finish off the look with a few  sprigs of baby’s breathe or jeweled barrette

Hair How To: The Horsetail

Hairstylist: Giannandrea, International Creative Director for Macadamia Professional

1.)    Start with wet hair and apply Macadamia Professional Blow Dry Lotion ($19.95; Ulta.com) throughout the lengths to smooth and protect hair from heat styling. Blow-dry large sections straight with a large round brush.

2.)    Brush all the hair upward to the top center of the crown. All the sides and back of the hair must direct very tightly to the top center.

3.)    Pull hair into a ponytail, smoothing all sides as needed and secure with a strong hair elastic.

4.)    Spray Macadamia Professional Tousled Texture Finishing Spray ($19.95, Ulta.com) through length of the ponytail to create body and definition.

5.)    Take a medium sized section from the back bottom of the ponytail. Wrap the section around the base of the elastic and spray Macadamia Professional Flex Hold Shaping Hairspray ($19.95; Ulta.com) to help the hair stay in place. Create a tall, 3-inch thick band that covers the elastic. Use straight pins all around while wrapping and smoothing it in place.

6.)    Lightly spray the top of the head with Macadamia Professional Flex Hold Shaping Hairspray ($19.95; Ulta.com) and gently run hands over the hair to smooth flyaways.

7.)    Brush the ponytail and spray Macadamia Professional Weightless Moisture Dry Oil Micro Mist ($31.95; Ulta.com) to achieve the ultimate finish and shine for a glamorous look.

Gallany Cosmetics Review – Makeup Trends for Fall 2016

Gallany Cosmetics is a unique beauty brand, created by cosmetics chemist Ida Gál-Csiszar. The company believes, “You don’t have to sacrifice quality for affordability.”

This is an appropriate statement because shoppers often feel that high-end prices will lend high-end results.  As beauty enthusiasts, we know this is not the truth and can look amazing with a moderately priced product.

Gallany Cosmetics Product Review:

Gothic or Dark lips is one of the makeup trends for the upcoming season.  This lip color can be applied for a date night or paired with a darker tone business suit. Either way, it’s a popular lipstick shade and should be worn with minimal makeup accents.

Gallany shipped a beautiful Semi Matte Lipstick in the color Black Cherry.  This particular lipstick shade is between a dark chocolate and berry hue.

IMG_6385

To apply, use a lipliner and top with Gallany Lucite Lipgloss in the color Frisson. The Semi Matte Lipstick lasts for hours and hydrates the lips.

Another very popular makeup craze for the new season includes the “no makeup” lip trend. Gallany has created a Semi Matte shade in the color Just Nude.  The hue is a “true nude” and looks amazing with everything!

Apply the Gallany Lucite Lipgloss in Tutu for a high, sheen finish.

IMG_6388IMG_6387

The kit also included Private Jet Black Mascara and Eyeshadow Quad (Cabaret) along with Budapest Face Palette Trio.  All of the items listed coordinate flawlessly with the lipsticks and glosses.

Aside from creating quality cosmetics, the packaging was beautiful with a copper/gold tone.  To learn more and order visit Gallany Cosmetics.com

4 Must-Have Beauty Solutions for Vacation Hangovers

Vacation is the main event everyone plans for during the summer. However, no one really prepares themselves for the vacation “hangover” once you’re back in town and reality hits! Not to worry, below I’ve listed some tried and true beauty products from Arbonne, Borghese and Skin Research Labs that can restore even the heaviest of post vacation blues (including acharcoal containing mud mask that works in just 5 minutes).

SKIN STRESS

 

BORGHESE

Depending on where you go, the travel alone can leave skin feeling dry and dull try fango ESSENZIALI Mud Mask in ENERGIZE for an overall skin renewal. Apply on cleansed skin and feel the activated charcoal detoxify skin leaving it radiant and restored. Feel free to wash after 5 minutes, but can be used for up to 20 minutes.

Other Key Ingredients:

  • Mineral-Rich Mud: Derived from the earth, this powerful ingredient is infused with minerals that work to purify pores, exfoliate and clarify the skin without drying it out.
  • Coffee Seed Oil and Caffeine: Helps stimulate collagen and elastin production to leave the skin feeling toned and healthy.

Paraben-Free | Clinically-Tested | Allergy-Tested

Try the sheet mask version to awaken and exfoliate the skin!

Fango

BODY DETOX

ARBONNE

Since vacation allows you to indulge and set aside healthy habits for a short time, you might feel the need to detox and purify your body. Try a vegan botanical herbal blend like, Arbonne Essential Herbal Detox Tea which helps rid the body of toxins while cleansing the liver and kidneys.
