Now, that the commercial is over, back to NYFW 2013 recap!

The 2013 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week has come to a close. Though the style and function keeps going on!

Such as the party where Vaseline_® Spray & Go Moisturizer was a sponsor of STRUT, The Fashionable Mom Show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at Lincoln Center!  

Vaseline Spray & Go Moisturizer, a convenient spray lotion that moisturizes deeply and absorbs quickly, made it easy for the models to moisturize and get dressed fast so they could strut their looks down the runway. 

Celebrity moms Amber Sabathia (wife of the New York Yankees’ CC Sabathia), Alexis Stoudemire (wife of the New York Knicks’ Amar’e Stoudemire), and Laura Posada (wife of retired New York Yankee Jorge Posada), amongst others walked in the show after using the lotion.

NYFW recap: Laura Mercier with Jenny Packham

Well Purty,
NYFW 2013 is officially over and here is a wee makeup set from Laura Mercier with Jenny Packham.
I love, love love the Sterling shadow. I can't wait for Spring, I need this shadow for Holiday. Stat!

Enjoy the recap!

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week

Jenny Packham - Spring 2014 Collection

Look created by Talia Shobrook for Laura Mercier

Inspired by the exquisite styling of the 1975 cult classic film, “Picnic at Hanging Rock,” Packham’s Spring/Summer 2014 collection represents a “seventies take on austere Edwardian attire.” The makeup look for the show, created by Talia Shobrook for Laura Mercier, further highlights the contrast between the eras, combining a “flush of innocence with a hint of naughtiness.”

Face:  Flawless skin with a youthful glow 

·         Talia prepped the skin with Laura Mercier Foundation Primer, $32.

·         Next, she applied Laura Mercier Crème Cheek Colour in Sunrise, $24 to the model’s cheekbones.

·         Then, she applied Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer – Oil Free Broad Spectrum SPF Sunscreen, $43 all over the face.

·         She concealed minor skin imperfections using Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage, $32.

·         Adding the final touch to the skin, Talia applied Laura Mercier Foundation Primer – Radiance, $32 to the T-Zone. This gave the skin a beautiful, illuminated and youthful glow.

 

Lips: Feminine, rosy lips

·         Talia dabbed the lips with Laura Mercier Crème Smooth Lip Colour in Spiced Rose, $26 and Laura Mercier Crème Smooth Lip Colour in Pink Blush, $26.

Eyes: Subtle lashes allowed the eyes to sparkle

·         Talia used a silver eye glitter that was specially made for this show to accentuate the eyes. For a similar look, apply a thick layer of Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour in Sterling, $26.

·         Next she filled in the eyebrows using Laura Mercier Eye Brow Pencil, $22.

·         To complete the look, Talia applied one swipe of Laura Mercier Full Blown Volume Lash Building Mascara, $24 – keeping the lashes very subtle.

NYFW recaps with Alterna and John Barrett

 Hello beautiful-
*Sigh*, well, another NYFW-the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week is over and hopefully we will remember what we saw and be ready for some stylish spring wardrobes.  I love this whimsy braid twist and will definitely being wearing it sooner than later!

Here is a recap from Alterna Haircare with John Barrett:

Get the Look: Alterna Haircare for Holmes & Yang Spring 2014

Lead Stylist: John Barrett

September 9, 2013

  

 

Hair: John Barrett for Alterna Haircare, using Alterna Haircare products

Designer Inspiration:  “For Spring 2014, Holmes & Yang presented classic styles with a variety of textures and lines.  To complement the earthy brown tones of the seductive smokey eyes, I went with an effortless, laid-back look with lots of tousled texture. A wearable-do whether she is headed to an office meeting or about to embark on the ultimate travel adventure”- John Barrett for Alterna Haircare

GET THE LOOK: Tousled texture with loose face-framing strands, evoke your adventurous nature.

·         Prep hair with Alterna Haircare Caviar CC Cream by applying a quarter size amount throughout sections of your hair

·         Follow with Alterna Haircare Bamboo Style Cleanse Extend Translucent Dry Shampoo (note: two new scents launching in October – Mango Coconut [Katie Holmes’ favorite] and Sheer Blossom) by spraying a liberal amount throughout the scalp. Use this technique to add texture to your hair and create a starting base. For extra wavy texture, spray Alterna Haircare Bamboo Style Boho Waves Spray from the mid-section of hair towards the ends

·         Next, spray Alterna Haircare Bamboo Uplifting Root Blast at the roots while sectioning hair and using a blow dryer aiming towards the scalp to hold the lift. Then, wrap one inch sections around 11/2 curling iron and hold for 15 seconds

·         When done curling the entire head, shake up the curls with your fingers. The messier the better. Scrunch with Alterna Haircare Bamboo Style Boho Waves Spray

·         Push hair to deep side part then start French braiding hair from nape of neck twisting and adding sections to the braid till you reach the opposite ear and secure with a clear elastic. Twist and tuck the braid underneath by pinning into place with bobby pins.

·         For a piecier look, pull out a few strands near the face and finish with the Alterna Haircare Bamboo Smooth Kendi Dry Oil Micromist for a boost of shine.

#NYFW & everyday in the Pur Minerals 5 pc Beauty-to-Go-Collection

Hey ya Purty!
The weekend is here and I hope you have some fun times planned! For those of you at the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, (#NYFW) I sure hope you have a Pur Minerals 5 piece Beauty-to-Go Collection with you.

Why? Because it's so simple and can easily go from day to night looks while fitting in the wee'est of purses.

For my back to school girls, busy moms and business ladies, the Pur Minerals 5 piece Beauty to Go Collection is a great fit for your on the go lifestyle too.

Why?

Because in TSA approved sizes, the Correcting Primer, Foundation and Bronzer, with brush and Impact Mascara can all tuck into a locker, desk drawer, travel bag or purse.

Then when you need to get a quick face on for the day or get glam for the evening you have all the tools you need. Just add your own lipstick, liner and a touch of shadow to complete a look.

I have used my kit the entire week and gone from beachy bronze look, to simple day makeup to a deep red cherry stained lip with cat eye liner, all with this lil kit! I'm using the Golden Medium kit.

It's just $39.00 and let me mention again, travels by car, bicycle, plane and train-easily! Ask me how I know!

Here's a lil bit o' details about the kit:

Description

Lots of makeup can make you look pretty, but how many can improve clarity or diminish the look of fine lines? More than just a get-the-look kit, Start Now! is an expressway to a naturally flawless complexion. In an eight-week clinical study, women of all ages saw an improvement in their skin’s appearance after using this five-piece kit. Up to 89 percent saw a smoother, softer appearance while 75 percent experienced visibly less irritation than before.

This portable perfection makeup kit includes:

• 4-in-1 Pressed Mineral Makeup (.15 oz/4.3 g): Loose powders are so last year. Combining pure mineral pigment with the finest skin care ingredients, our all-in-one foundation, concealer, powder and SPF 15 has inspired generations of women to forget the mess and go pressed.
• Neutral Primer (.3 fl oz/10 ml): While most primers create the illusion of a more uniform complexion, our skin correcting formula contains special key ingredients that minimize the look of pores, dark spots and fine lines for a truly flawless makeup canvas.
• Mineral Glow (.12 oz/3.4 g): Combining premium quality minerals with proven firming ingredients, Mineral Glow gives skin a natural-looking touch of sun with added skin care benefits.
• Impact+ Mascara (.12 oz/3.4 g): Lengthen, thicken or curl—most mascaras give you just one option. Impact+ gives you all three, with the added benefit of extreme lash hydration for naturally healthier looking lashes.
• Chisel Brush: Designed specifically for our 4-in-1 formula, this cruelty-free total coverage brush delivers an effortlessly even application every time. Also works with Pür specialty powders.
Pür Minerals does NOT test its products on animals.

NYFW Dermbalend setting powder: how to go all day on the runway with fresh looking makeup

Hi ya Gorgeous!
#TGIF with me on Twitter @Cherelynn
Ok, who is live bloging the #NYFW events? If you are, link up with me-I'm looking to cross promote with a fashion blogger on my beauty blog.

One of my favorite things about fashion is the sketches that come first before the fabric. There is such an art to the form that creates a gown or piece of clothing.

Now to keep you looking fresh runway side, I encourage you to try the Dermablend Setting Powder. If you buff and work it in to your foundation covered skin, you will notice that it wears really well, all day, and if you get tired, dehydrated and your makeup begins to crease a bit, a simple rebuffing with a kabuki brush or soft blending with a moist sponge can re-invigorate you makeup!

Dermablend Setting Powder $24.00 at Ulta

Get optimum results with Dermablend Setting Powder when you use colorless Dermablend Cover Creme. Excess facial oils and creme are absorbed to better hide acne, scars, and blemishes.

NYFW begins now with Mongongo Oil from Ouidad

 Hello fellow NYFW fashion watchers!

Sad but true, I am not in New York this year for the show, but I do have some fun round ups to post and share with you.

Preparation before a runway show during the last Fashion Week.

Kids have returned to school, Rosh Hashana begins at sundown today and football season starts tomorrow night. As most New Yorkers encounter a season of new beginnings in some way or another, today also marks the unofficial start of the ready-to-wear season for fashion insiders.(Source New York Times)

To get things started, it's going to be a lot of stress on skin and hair due to the need for bleeding edge style.

Take care of your hair by using Ouidad Mongongo Oil, a multi use hair treatment that deeply nourishes, protects, smooths and boosts shine.






It retails for about $36.00 and can be used on all hair types and textures, though it is primarily geared for curly hair. This product is a 2013 editor's choice award winner from Naturally Curly.

This super-concentrated, multi-tasking serum is infused with Mongongo Oil, known as “hair food” in Zambia for its high vitamin E content and superb regenerating and antioxidant properties. With American Palm Seed Oil and Broccoli Seed Oil, the formula restructures hair as it deeply repairs damage to restore a healthy appearance to even the dullest locks. By forming a protective film over the hair fibers, hair is instantly more manageable and has a natural, healthy-looking luster. It coats hair to protect against UV rays and environmental aggressors to help defend against damage. Further, it protects hair from aggressive heat styling and helps speed up drying time.

Formulated without silicones, sulfates, parabens & waxes

Smashbox Fade to Black waterproof for Labor Day and #NYFW

Hello all!
Welcome back from a busy and hopefully restful Labor Day weekend!
I spent mine in Las Vegas and it was very busy and not really restful at all!   I packed a few key items with me for poolside time and to be prepared for a very hot, and very humid time.



Enter- the Smashbox Waterproof Eyeliner that can be blended into a shadow or used as an eyeliner for a perfect smokey eye. This "Fade to Black" eyeliner wore well without smudging at the Voo pool at Rio. I was reading poolside, doing a bit of swimming and a lot of people watching-all sans racoon eyes thanks to Smashbox!

It's just $22 and get it now because this favorite won't last long. In fact, the Sephora in the Venetian did not have the gold color!

Limited editions of our favorite stay-put shadow/long-wearing liner in fierce shades of black.

Shades: Blackest Black, Black Gold

For the ultimate smoky eye on-the-go, glide along upper lashline and smudge. Or for a stunning, all-over shadow effect, apply to lids and blend into crease.

 I wonder who at #NYFW is partnering with Smashbox for runway looks?

Pamella Roland: Fall/Winter 2013 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week

 

Look created by Matin Maulawizada for Laura Mercier

 

Matin Maulawizada, lead makeup artist for this season’s Pamella Roland show, was inspired by the designer’s collection, a visual narrative of the history of the Tzar and Russian Court.  He developed a flawless makeup look that showcased the simplicity of women’s beauty in tandem with the “opulence of St. Petersburg.” 

 

Flawless Face:  A fresh, “no makeup look” was key to balancing the collection’s bold accents

 

·         First, Matin applied Laura Mercier Foundation Primer ($32) to create the perfect canvas for makeup application.

·         Then, depending on the model’s complexion, he used Laura Mercier Crème Smooth Foundation ($50) or Laura Mercier Silk Crème Foundation ($43) to hydrate and protect the skin.

·         Next, he used Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage ($30) to perfect the skin, concealing any problem areas.

·         He applied Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder ($35) to set and finish the look.

·         To give the skin a healthy color, Matin brushed Laura Mercier Crème Cheek Colour in Blaze ($24) and Laura Mercier Second Skin Cheek Colour in Sweet Mandarin ($24) onto the cheekbones. 

·         Matin then contoured the apples of the cheeks with the Bronzer Veil from Laura Mercier Bonne Mine Healthy Glow for Face & Cheeks Crème Colour Palette ($48). (The Bonne Mine Palette not only provides a healthy, natural glow, but 100 percent of the profits from its sales are donated to the Laura Mercier Ovarian Cancer Fund.)
