One Bag & Three Beauty Obsessions: Be&D

So, as a reader favorite, I really do need to do more of these.  Here’s my latest One Bag & Three Beauty Obsessions, featuring an amazing leopard bag from Be&D.

BAG:

 

BEAUTY:

  • Stila Eye Shadow in “Kitten”: There’s a reason when something is a cult-favorite classic.  I wear this eye shadow to work, to Target on a Sunday or to a bar on a Saturday night.  It goes on smoothly, doesn’t crease and lasts all night.  I couldn’t be happier with an eye shadow.
  • Redken Time Reset Youth Revitalizer: A woman needs a good deep conditioner in her life.  I’ve tried them all but this one is different…in a good way.  It’s more of a decadent mask that provides a dose of peptides and ceramide for targeted hair follicle repair.  My hair has never been easier to detangle.
  • Clinique Superdefense Age Defense Moisturizer SPF 25: My skin is D-R-Y and with this comes a need for a serious moisturizer.  This moisturizer is serious for sure and I love that it has SPF 25 to protect you from sun damage (aka skin cancer and wrinkles) on top of it’s super moisturizing properties.

Byron & Tracey Pre-Emmy’s Beauty Bar

So it’s Emmy’s madness once again here in sunny Los Angeles.  On Friday I stopped by the Byron & Tracey salon in Beverly Hills to freshen up my highlights before the big Emmy’s weekend.  For those who don’t know, Tracey Cunningham, Redken Creative Consultant for Color, is an A-list colorist whose clients include Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz and Reese Witherspoon, all who always look flawless, in my opinion.

As soon as I arrived, I had to sort my way through about 15 paparazzi who were camped outside trying to catch a glimpse of all the celebs going in and out of the salon.  I walked inside and immediately saw Minka Kelly (aka Leila on “Friday Night Lights”), who probably thinks I’m stalking her since I’ve also seen her in SoHo AND at another event in LA.  Anywho, Dani, my colorist, did an amazing job freshening up my blonde locks and the time flew by as I watched a ton of celebs come in and out.  Other spottings included Jordana Brewster, Stephanie Pratt (who walked out with the biggest beehive I’ve ever seen), Rashida Jones and Mindy Kaling from “The Office.”  I have to say, I’m very pleased with my highlights and, as an added bonus, I got to check out an amazing scent- Calvin Klein’s Euphoria.  I’m really bad at describing fragrance but I will say that I know what I like and I know what I don’t like…and I like this.  The scent has seductive floral notes and the bottle is really sleek and sexy.  What’s not to like when you combine perfect blonde highlights, celeb sightings and great perfume.

Redken Color Extend Sun Solar Screen SPF 12

So since I moved to LA in September, I’ve definitely been spending much more time in the sun than ever.  Relax, I always wear SPF but I’m still concerned about two things- my hair and my scalp.  I’ve pretty much always had thin hair and I remember getting some pretty bad scalp burns in high school…which end up looking like dandruff when it heals- very attractive.  Anyway, I recently received Redken’s Color Extend Sun Solar Screen SPF 12 ($16 at salons) and I’m obsessed.  It’s the perfect spray product to protect my scalp from getting burned in the sun AND it also guards my blonde highlights from fading to that god awful brassy orange color.  Yuck.  It’s really a great multi-tasker…Redken’s exclusive Interbond Conditioning System and the advanced Hydra-Shield Complex deliver strengthening Ceramide and moisture-rich Mango Oil to dry strands to resurface the cuticle, repair damaged areas and replenish lost moisture in your hair.  I’ll be carrying this around me all summer, especially since I’ve decided to really learn how to surf this year. 😉  Stay tuned for updates.  I sense this product will get “life changing” status.

Heat Style Product Roundup

So after years of blow drying and straightening my hair almost every day, I’ve come to really appreciate the value of a good thermal protection product. Here are my current favorites and remember, I judge harshly.

– Redken iron silk 07 – iron silk truly lives up to its name. It doesn’t leave hair sticky or stiff and strengthens and protects the hair follicle resulting in zero frizz.
– Sebastian Professional Trilliant – This shimmery spray is designed to gently condition hair and adds ultra-light body fora glam finish.
– Dove Heat Defense Therapy – besides being super cheap ($4.75 on drugstore.com!), this product smells amazing and leaves hair feeling conditioned and shiny.
