Klorane Eye MakeUp remover

Klorane makes a great, hard-working-yet-gentle eye makeup remover.

It didn't burn my eyes, but it got off all the goo I could pile on*-- I like to really test these things!

Some Klorane products are available through stateside vendors, but it has been hard to find... Now this wonderful (tres French) remover is available at Walgreens!

Go to your neighborhood Walgreens & buy. Thank me later.

*Goo= Waterproof mascara, eye shadows, pencil liner.

Julie Bowen stops sag at the SAG awards!

Love her look and Modern Family!!!

Standing out from the crowd of celebs donning their finest floor-grazing gowns at the 17th Annual SAG Awards on January 30th was Julie Bowen who opted for a non-traditional black jumpsuit by Catherine Malandrino featuring a plunging neckline and low back. You too can dare to bare with confidence by using some of Julie’s favorite products from Mama Mio:

Boob Tube Bust & Neck Firmer ($45)

This crinkle-fighting formula promotes firmer, fitter, glowing, dewy, youthful skin from the neck down, a must when preparing for a plunging neckline like Julie’s. CoQ10 helps defy gravity while Omega 3, 6 and 9 keep your neck and décolleté looking firm and plump. Milk Thistle, Evening Primrose Oil and Sweet Almond Oil maintain moisture for healthy, brilliant skin.

O-Mega Wonder-Full Balm ($26)

Julie didn’t let the weary winter weather wreak havoc on her red-carpet ready skin and neither should you. By using the super hydrating Wonder-Full Balm on lips, cuticles, elbows, hands and feet – you too can ensure smooth skin for even the closest of camera shots. Featuring replenishing oils like Sweet Almond, Evening Primrose, Meadowfoam and Gold of Pleasure that drench skin in omegas, the solid balm melts on contact to provide rich, intense, healing moisture wherever you need it.

All Mama Mio products can be purchased on www.mamamio.com.

Flat Irons Curl?

Traditionally, flat irons are used for straightening, but Sam Villa, founding partner of the Sam Villa® brand and Education Artistic Director for Redken 5th Avenue, is anything but traditional. Villa loves oversized multi-textured looks and uses his flat iron, the Sam Villa Signature Series SLEEKR™ flat iron, in unconventional ways to create this fresh texture.

Remember the pin curl? Well, Villa has a modern version he creates in minutes. It’s a coiled set compressed with the iron, resulting in a flatter curl than a traditional pin curl. Give it a whirl.

Paper Curl:

1. Take a 1/2” square section and prep with Redken spray starch 15 versatile ironing spray.

2. Loosely flat wrap the section around index finger

3. Slide off finger – holding pin curl in fingertips

4. Pinch with SLEEKR™

5. Finish with Redken fashion work 12 versatile working spray

I love it when I can afford a top designer!

Tutorial: Pureology SAG styles

Pureology ColourAmbassador Natasha Sunshine, owner of Byu-ti Hair Therapy, a Pureology Salon gives her top hair trends at the SAG Awards and how to achieve these looks:

Simple sleek ponytail - Julianna Marguilles and Angie Harmon, sported the time-honored ponytail with style.

To get this look:

Start with dry straight hair. Decide on parting. Side parting adds a classic appeal. A middle parting gives a more modern feel.

Mist lightly with Pureology ColourStylist StrengtheningControl zero dulling hairspray, use a fine bristle brush like a boar or Mason Pearson. Use clean long strokes to keep lumps to a minimum.

Fasten an elastic band as close to the base of your scalp as possible.

Mist hair again with spray and smooth over for a clean finish.

For an extra polished pony, spray loose ends with Pureology ColourStylist Fortifying Heat Spray and wrap in one large hot roller for 10 minutes.

Chic, vintage updos- January Jones and Natalie Portman, donned a similar front swoop and low-bunned fashion.

To get this look:

Start with damp hair, apply a nickel size of Pureology ColourStylist NourishingNectar evenly throughout.

Dry thoroughly and set with large rollers wound away from the face.

After rollers cool, remove and brush hair through.

Leaving out the top front section, pull all the hair back into a low pony and create a side part.

Finish ponytail into a bun securing with bobby pins.

Brush top front section back and push forward to get a smooth swooping fringe.

Spray finished style with ColourStylist StrengtheningControl zero dulling hairspray.

Ole Henriksen wants you to be Happy

Lifestyle and skincare guru to the stars and formerly the host of his own Denmark television series on happiness, Ole Henriksen gives his simple tips to get happy in an instant. There’s a reason the Danish press has dubbed him as the “happiest man alive”!

Ole’s Six Instant Mood Boosters:

· Eat right: Every morning, I start my day off with a breakfast of oatmeal, cooked with flax seed and mixed with blueberries, blackberries and raspberries to keep my blood sugar up, which is key to a good mood.

· Exercise: Start your day off moving. Even a 15 minute walk will up your energy. I loves the gymnastic rings. When I exercise on my rings the experience is that of a relaxing meditation – like floating in mid air like I’m on cloud nine.

· Bond and laugh with friends: For women, female bonding sends joyful, calming signals to the brain. One of the greatest joys is a good belly laugh that goes on forever and ever! I can’t get enough of it, it’s part of my daily life.

· Apply OLEHENRIKSEN truth revealed: My truth revealed super crème spf 15 contains my own Omega 3 Happiness Concentrate. This “Happiness Concentrate” increases the release of dopamine (a neurotransmitter involved in the sensation of happiness) and improves microcirculation for a radiant complexion.

· Drink tea: Green tea increases dopamine in the brain, which chemically lifts your mood.

· See the light: The shorter daylight hours of the winter can make us feel down. If you can’t get outside for some sunshine, try sitting with a light box for twenty minutes a few times a week to lift your mood.

Lippmann Collection Nail Polish

If you're looking for luxurious, quick drying, icky-chemical-free nail color, Lippmann Collection is for you! This polish dries evenly and quickly and comes in a wider than wide variety of gorgeous hues. My fave at the moment is Nefertiti-a shimmery, subdued metallic gold, with a hint of sparkle. Dress your digits up with this deliciousness for an instant ego boost!!
