Get the Look: Olivia Munn at Entertainment Weekly’s Emmy Party

I only do a “get the look” when I, personally, want to GET that look.  I saw Olivia at this party…and guys, her hair is exquisite.  It’s that perfect, super shiny, thick hair that every woman dies for.  BTW, she’s wearing an Armani dress, Jimmy Choo clutch and Bulgari jewels.

Celebrity hairstylist, Mika Fowler, explains how to get The Newsroom star’s look:

  • On wet hair, apply Wella mousse
  • Blow dry hair with a Denman roll brush
  • Clip back a portion of hair for volume
  • Spray hair with a light hairspray for volume (like JOICO finishing spray)
  • Use a 1 and 1/4 curling iron to wrap the mid-section and shaft of the hair
  • After curling, apply Wella Dry Wax, then toss hair
  • Choose some small pieces, around the face, and re-curl to create more volume and dimension

Pre-Emmys Prep with L’OREAL Paris

There’s one thing that I’ll never turn down, and that’s a free blow out.  L’OREAL is one of those amazing beauty brands that’s basically involved with anything major and cool so when they invited me to their pre-Emmys beauty suite at The Four Season Beverly Hills and then to the Entertainment Weekly party, I was stoked.  I had my hair done in my go-to “loose waves, high volume” style, a fresh pedi and, of course, had my makeup done.

This is the makeup village it takes to get me ready, apparently.  And a big thanks to April, L’OREAL’s amazing makeup artist (and my neighbor!)

Obsessed with their new Nail Lingerie and this amazing shade of red (for my toes) called “Red Tote”

My favorite new House of Harlow 1960 double finger (you know I love those) snake ring, c/o L’OREAL. Manicure by ESSIE and you can see more images from ESSIE’s pre-Emmy suite (and me making crazy faces) HERE.

L’Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes Mascara

I recently attended a pre-Emmys party at BOA on behalf of L’Oreal, you can read my full report on Nadine Jolie’s site, but what I want to discuss is the gift bag.  I actually really love L’Oreal products, seen here, but what I’m obsessing over lately is their new Voluminous Million Lashes mascara!

Not even kidding, the minute I put on the first sweep my lashes were dark black (how I like them!) and long, with out any clumps at all.  As a bonus, I feel fancy with the metallic gold tube.

2011 Emmys Fashion Favorites

Red.

This girl likes red.  Nina Dobrev, Kerry Washington and Lea Michele led the red trend on the red carpet.

 

Dark Sparkle.

Emily Blunt, Claire Danes and Evan Rachel Wood did the dramatic sparkle, which I adore, in three different ways.

Emmy Facials at Kate Somerville

When you live in Los Angeles, it’s really hard not to catch Emmy fever.  Even though I’m not actually attending the Emmys this year (or last year, or the year before that), I still use this “Emmy week” as a reminder that hey, I really need a facial to get my skin “red carpet-ready,” even if the red carpet is really just my tan carpet that resides inside my apartment.

On Thursday night, I was treated to the signature Kate facial at LA’s infamous Kate Somerville Clinic in West Hollywood in honor of the award show and ugh, yeah…boy did I need it.  First, let me say I’m in love with the signature facial – it starts off with enzymatic exfoliation and extractions followed by a customized treatment mask.  I, my friends, had way more extractions that I normally do which did not make this girl happy one bit!  But, on the bright side my dry, sensitive skin does really well with Kate’s products (as you can read here) and when I left I was super excited to receive a few of the newer products including the True Lash Lash Enhancing Eye Makeup Remover so stay tuned for a review on that soon.
