Prepare hair for styling using the Angelo David Premier Volume Spray ($18.50 -www.angelodavid.com) and Angelo David Foaming Sea Silk Styler ($21.50 -www.angelodavid.com), to create texture. To punch in more texture to hair, create small curls using a 1 inch barrel curling iron and break the curls with your fingers. Create 5 different sections for twisting and braiding: nape, front, back, crown and temples. For each section, create a combination of twists, braid or knots followed by a backcombing technique using your fingers to create more volume. Gather each section to the back and create an almost messy bun, secured with pins. Finish the look with a strong hold hairspray.

3Lab Super Cream: An Amazing Treat For Your Skin

A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to be invited to the Thompson Hotel in Beverly Hills for an exclusive brunch introducing the amazing new 3Lab Super Cream.  Amazing isn't even the word!  Unbelievable might be more appropriate! 

3Lab Super Cream is a super-powered skin booster and the first of its kind available in the USA.  This super charged cream utilizes Intelligent Targeting Device Technology (ITD), the NEWEST evolution in effectively delivering collagen and elastin producing peptides to the cells for maximum efficacy and minimal waste.  Combined with Nano Claire GY and PhytoCell Tec Malus Domestica, Super Cream provides total skin rejuvenation from the bottom layers up. 

3Lab Super Cream feels like luxury!  You won't believe the richness of this cream, packed with antioxidants and peptides that shoot directly to the source of the problem, combating fine lines, wrinkles and skin imperfections with quick and dramatic results. 

During the brunch, Super Cream was passed around the room.  I tried a dab on the back of my hand and couldn't believe the result!  It was instant and shocking how smooth the top of my left hand suddenly was.  So much so, the friends I was sitting with and I couldn't help but "ooh" and "ahh" loudly over it while the beautiful Erica Chung, founder of 3Lab, was still speaking!  After seeing the result on my hand I could hardly contain myself when we were each given the Super Cream to take home and use!

This is an exceptional product! It's definitely something to use sparingly as it is $875 for 1.7 oz but it is a miracle product and worth every penny.  Sold exclusively at Barney's and 3Lab.com

Juice Beauty: The Organic Solution

I'm a total lip stick, lip gloss, lip balm, lip stain, lip...whatever junkie.  I have some sort of lip product within inches of me at all times and can't walk two feet in my house without a nearby drawer housing at least one or two tubes of some sort of lip gloss!  I'm obsessed.  During the warm weather though I apply even more lip product than usual so I tend to lean toward tinted lip balms during the warm summer months.  Some of the newbies to my collection are the new Juice Beauty Organic Solution SPF 8 Lip Moisturizers.  I slather on the Naturally Clear just before bed and have been swiping on Playful, a semi deep berry color, throughout the day.  These handy little moisturizers combine mineral sun protection with certified organic emollient plant oils, mango & passionfruit essences, nutrient-rich vitamins and honey to pack your pucker with moisture.


Another great product from Juice Beauty is the Refining Finishing Powder, packed with organic ingredients that will leave your skin refined and flawless.  The combination of organic plant powders, fruit extracts and minerals creates a lightweight matte finish that will wear smoothly all day, while giving you an airbrushed look and feel.  I applied the Finishing Powder over my foundation and layered as needed and my skin looked noticeably smoother and primed.  I didn't feel like the powder was too heavy or added to my face makeup in a "caked" on way.  Check it out and the other fabulous Juice Beauty products at www.JuiceBeauty.com

My Favorite MAC Nail Lacquers of The Moment

Coffee Break
Nocturnelle
Shirelle
Fiestaware


I love MAC cosmetics as much as the next make-up-obsessed person, but for me, it's their Nail Lacquers that keep me loyal! They pack a ton of staying power into those little bottles of vibrant, color rich shades and I love a good nail polish that doesn't chip the day after I paint my nails!

A few shades of MAC Nail Lacquer I've been using over and over again this month are Coffee Break, Nocturnelle, Shirelle and Fiestaware. Coffee Break is a perfectly muted brown shade that matches everything, Nocturnelle is the perfect shade of black I reserve mostly for my toes, Shirelle, well, we all need red nails every once in a while and Fiestaware is a perky peach that would go perfectly with a tan (if I ever had one).  Below is Fiestaware on my nails on day 3...no chips!
