TIFF hair you can wear with Nexxus, Reese and Lona Vigi

 Hi ya Gorgeous!
It has been quite some time since I have been to the Toronto Film Festival in person to see the films. I recall really enjoying the beauty of the city and people.

Today I have a style "how to" for you to help get your hair in red carpet style!
###

Nexxus New York Salon Care Celebrity Stylist Lona Vigi crafted this award-winning actress’s beautiful voluminous hair look as she graced the red carpet for the premiere of her new animated movie “Sing,” at the Toronto International Film Festival yesterday. “Since it was a kids movie premiere that was during the day, Reese and I decided to keep her hair down, flowy and fun for the occasion, and to flawlessly complement her off-the-shoulder dress” said Lona. 

Follow Lona’s tips to re-create this look: 

1. Starting with towel-dried hair, apply a palm sized amount of Nexxus New York Salon Care Mousse Plus Volumizing Foam from roots to ends to weightless support the style and add volume. 
2. Create a deep side part, then divide hair into sections and blow dry using a medium-sized round brush to add body.
3. Once dried, use a double barrel iron to add curls and alternate with a 1.5” curling iron every couple of curls to create effortless, undone waves. 
4. Finish with the Nexxus New York Salon Care Comb Thru Finishing Mist and spray all over hair to provide natural, movable hold.

Products Used:

• Nexxus New York Salon Care Mousse Plus Volumizing Foam 
• Nexxus New York Salon Care Comb Thru Finishing Mist

Oscars 2015: best dressed on the red carpet: Josie Maran Argan Matchmaker Serum much?

 Hi ya Gorgeous!
Good morning to you! Wow. I saw half of the Oscars last night due to the anti-family stance of ABC to allow the show host to walk out in his underwear. That was not at accident, it was planned. It was in poor taste and shows how little ABC cares about artistry, the viewers, young filmmakers watching and morals in society.

It was the same on the red carpet. There were so many gaping cleavage baring gowns and crotch high slits that the red carpet was filled with bared breasts in the front, side boob and corner va-jay-jay.

Sigh.

TRESemme Thermal Creations: how to get Oscars red carpet ready like Reese Witherspoon

 Hello Gorgeous!
Are you getting ready to recreate at home some of the looks seen on the 2013 Oscars red carpet?
I am-especially vintage waves oh so Veronica Lake look seen on Reese Witherspoon with TRESemme Thermal Creations Heat Tamer spray, Volume boosting mousse and 24 Hour Body with collagen finishing spray. All of these products can be found at mass retailers everywhere!


Now while I pull together a Reese Witherspoon Oscars red carpet how to video for YouTube. Enjoy this tutorial on how to get a NYFW look!

TRESemmé Stylist Jeanie Syfu led the team backstage at the Tracy Reese Fall 2013 Fashion Show.  To complement the designer’s collection Jeanie Syfu created a deep-side swept style which was teased and textured using TRESemmé products to mimic the fearless style of the clothing.  I've included additional information to recreate the look below and attached images for your reference.

Tracy Reese Fall 2013 Collection: The collection combines a variety of rich textures and patterns for an assortment of sexy silhouettes with an emphasis on hourglass dresses, longer slim skirts, sweater tunics and bold, meaty jackets and coats.  Black in all of its magnificence, from deep velvety darkness to textured patent refraction, anchors a palette highlighted by scarlet, cerise, teal, aubergine, tan and lychee.  

            

Overall Look: A quintessential NY look, the hair combines side-swept texture, polished ends and height at the crown.  A clash of black bobby pins arranged at the temple completed the look and complemented the black accents throughout the collection

Inspiration: A fearless New York girl walking home before dawn after a night out

How-To Steps:

1.     Lightly dampen hair and liberally apply TRESemmé Thermal Creations Volumizing Mousse and Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Spray throughout the roots and lengths of the hair for texture and volume

2.     Flip head upside-down and rough dry with fingers (pulling at the root with fingers until the hair is 90% dry). Use a Mason Pearson brush and continue drying upside-down by lifting at the roots and smoothing the ends. TIP: Use your Mason Pearson brush to lift the roots but don't smooth the roots, as this will flatten the texture

3.     Flip hair over when dry and create a "front sweep" by lightly brushing hair from the front of the crown over to one side diagonally

4.     Secure the side-sweep in place by haphazardly pinning a clash of black bobby pins at the temple

5.     Tease the crown of the head for lift.  Finish with TRESemmé 24 Hour Body Finishing Spray

6.     Apply NEW TRESemmé Fresh Start Color Care Dry Shampoo for texture and pull out pieces for a wispy/undone soft finish

Products:

• TRESemmé Thermal Creations Volumizing Mousse: Specially formulated to work with heat appliances to boost volume without heaviness, it helps to hold and maintain styles, while preventing frizz.

• TRESemmé 24 Hour Body Finishing Spray: Sets volume with controlled bounce for 24 hours. Never stiff, this humidity-resistant spray leaves hair manageable and shiny.

• NEW TRESemmé Fresh Start Color Care Dry Shampoo: A new formulation perfect for all hair types, which prevents dull and limp locks. The formula helps eliminate odor and extend the life of your color, leaving hair refreshed, smooth and silky.

• TRESemmé Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Spray: Guards against heat and friction to keep hair shiny and soft, it instantly transforms all hair textures by enhancing strands’ flexibility to reform and hold shape.

Tools:

• Blow dryer
• Flat iron
• Water bottle
• Mason Pearson brush
• Teasing brush/com
• Elastic
• Pins

Reese Witherspoon stood classically beautiful in the nation’s Capital on Tuesday, where she attended an event in honor of International Women’s Day.

Her makeup was done by mark makeup artist Mai Quynh using products from both Avon and mark. Mai put the focus on Reese’s eyes, layering a shimmering gold shadow over a soft blend of neutral-colored shadows.

Mai then upped the drama by using a dark eyeshadow as liner and a few swipes of black mascara on lashes. For the finishing touches, Mai applied a soft rose cream blush on Reese’s cheeks and a nude-colored lipstick to enhance Reese’s natural glow.

This Means War: the movie look for Lauren played by Reese Witherspoon

1-Minute Tricks for Your Best Smile Ever

Brush, floss, rinse, repeat. Sure you know how to keep up your dental hygiene, but these tricks will up the ante and get your smile brighter instantly

This is a TotalBeauty.com women's dental health article If you don't have time or the money for an in-office teeth whitening, you'll love these 8 genius tricks that'll make your smile brighter in a hot second. See them now. Get brighter

Hello Gorgeous!
On February 17th a new Reese Witherspoon movie was released called "This Means War" with Chris Pine as one of her co-stars.

I have not seen the movie, along with I have not seen War Horse or Chronicle, or The Vow or Journey 2. Why? Long story-ask me later.

In the meantime I have seen the trailer online and it does seem funny?

So I have created a Reese Witherspoon's This Means War character named Lauren.
To get the look I used all AVON products and the details are listed here:

Foundation: Avon Extra Lasting in Buff
Blush: Crushed Berry creme stick-so awesome
Brows: Glimmersticks soft black brow definer
Eyes: True Color Romantic Mauves
Mascara: Super Extend in black (the sample sent was Super Shock in waterproof brown-just not something I would ever use, but the brush is a hard rubber kind)

Now: here is the shining star of the Avon products used to create the Lauren character look for Reese Witherspoon in This Means War.

This lipstick is by Avon, called a Shine Attract and I'm wearing the color Rose Pink.
It's part gel lipstick part firm gloss? Makeup Alley reviews are not very good for it-but I love it!
Just a hint of color but alot of shine, very smooth on the mouth. I am not tasting or smelling any strong chemicals as what was stated on the Makeup Alley reviews? Basically-I think it's a perfect day time answer to a little bit of lip color and a lot of shine!

See the 11 easy ways to burn more calories (no point-counting or weird fat calculator necessary). See tricks

Hello Gorgeous!
Happy Hanukkah continues and Merry Christmas is almost here!
I've got a short how to video to get the look of the lead character Marlena played by Reese Witherspoon.
I think the look lends wonderfully to a candlelight service for Christmas! And stay tuned because there is a New Year's Eve look coming up shortly using more Avon products.


Products used:
Foundation: Avon Everlasting
Blush: Borghese Spectra
Eyeshadow: Avon Textured Teal quad
Eyeliner: Avon Glimmer Stick in G07 black ice
Eyeliner: Avon Professional Eye Smokifier in very black *whoa-you need to get this!
Mascara: Avon Super Extend mascara in black
Lips: Avon super shock lipgloss in melon *whoa-you really need to get this!

I do like the shadows, but find they are not high pigmented so you may need to layer a few applications to get a deeper tone on the eye.

The 2 stand out favorites of all the products I tried are the Smokifier-wow, that's a new and good product, and the huge lip gloss called super shock. Get it!

Special thanks to Avon for sharing these beautiful cosmetics with me-and farewell and thank you to Avon CEO Andrea Jung for all the years of service to a cosmetic company that helps build up women based business!
