They have replaced the conventional “seasonal color story” with four color families: GLOW, EXPRESS, MOTIVATE, and SEDUCE. The color palettes empower women to create their own look – be it casual, flirtatious, professional, or downright glamorous.  The main principle of this line is that any woman can wear any of these colors, according to her mood. Nothing is too blue-ish, yellow-ish etc.  In fact, even though there are distinct color families they are all pretty neutral in my opinion.

The Rundown:

Glow Shimmering smokey Lavender shades make this a day to evening favorite.  Wear some of the lighter shades and then smoke it up for happy hour after work!!

Express Buff, Rose-Gold, Cream & Bronze shades make this a fantastic alternative to the traditional smokey eye (one of my all time favorite shadow palettes as well!)

Motivate Heather, berry plum and pale pink make this a pretty color palette for everyday.

Seduce White, silver, b;ack and burgundy…..great for evening looks and a smokey eye.

Honorable mention, the gel based glimmerSHEERS are absolutely FANTASTIC for summer!  Great way to get a sheer glow on your cheeks or anywhere else you want to shimmer.  Also, the new Mineral sheerTINT SPF 20 is phenomenal alone or when mixed with a bit of your favorite serum for a bit of color without being a full face of foundation….also great for summer!

The cream is luxurious feeling but not heavy (the formula is a gel cream), so you don’t feel like you have a layer of product on your skin.  Dubbed as a skin de-stressing cream, this works to increase resiliency and cellular turnover while giving the skin a naturally radiant glow from the inside out.  My skin has become smoother and over the 8 week period that I tested it moisture was increased, skin was firmed and fine lines were softened.  I have been using it ever since.

The Rundown:

• Nano-Claire GY, a bioengineered growth hormone-like protein that works as a “hormone replacement therapy” for the skin.
• PhytoCelTec™ Malus Domestica, stem cells from a rare Swiss Apple that have been proven to slow down and delay the aging process.
• Happybelle, a phyto-endorphin extract that comes from the cactus Monk’s Pepper combined with antioxidant and moisturizing factors to help revitalize the skin and give it a radiant glow.
• ACS (Anti-Cyto Stressor) to promote an overall bioregulation that follows and respects the cutaneous physiological mechanisms by hindering the alterations caused by stress hormone.
• Osilift, a 100% Natural sugar tensor purified fraction of oat polysaccharides that gives an immediate tensor and long term anti-wrinkle effect to the skin.

This cream is the ULTIMATE anti-aging weapon….anyone over the age of 30 should take a look.

Taking a few minutes before bed to wash your face and apply a night moisturizer, can make the difference between skin that has an extra layer of protection, and skin that is vulnerable to all of the toxins flying around in the air everyday. Clinique’s potent Super Rescue Antioxidant Night Moisturizer works overnight to deliver a unique complex of eight rapid and delayed-release antioxidants that defuse this free-radical activity, and help to keep the skin strong and prevent visible signs of aging.

Clinique's Super Rescue Antioxidant Night Moisturizer

A tube will cost you $42.50, but compared to many other skin care lines, this is one beauty bargain to check out. If you do buy it, please take the time at night to use it. I am such a big advocate for skin care, and it is just as important to give your face the same attention at night, that you do in the morning.

So, I’ve got the TV on, the doors are open, the birds are chirping, and it is a beautiful day in Los Angeles. I couldn’t wait to let the lucky winner of the Ageless Fantasy perfume know who they were, and thought doing it on Mother’s Day would be perfect.

Every comment was beautiful and I thank you all for taking the time to enter. I can only choose one winner, and always do it randomly to be fair, but if anyone is interested in trying a sample of this fabulous fragrance please send me your address and I will be happy to send you one.

So without further delay, the winner of the Ageless Fantasy Perfume is….

Leone D.  Leone’s comment was so sweet and I wanted to share with you what she wrote.
“The nicest thing I did for myself this week was getting my hair colored and a really fun new style, giving myself a mani with a color that makes me happy every time I look at my hands. But, by far the nicest thing I did for myself was to go to lunch with my mom.  She’s turning 69, looks maybe 60 and acts like she’s my older sis…inspiration!”

Congratulations Leone!

Thank you for keeping us on your beauty radar!

Happy Mother’s day!

This Spring hair trends are calling for luscious candy like colors.  Many of our A-list celebrities are taking on the summer blonde look with some extra flair. Have you thought about maybe doing the same?

CJ Cassaday our in-house, and go-to stylist says this summer he will be creating contrasting blonde’s that will be so rich they’ll be sinful. Sounds good to me! A rich toffee based color with honey highlights for a more dramatic effect can slowly turn into a softer, lighter blonde as the summer sun fades your hair color while lounging at the beach. Lounging? Who has time for that? But just living in Los Angeles and having the sun directly on top of you will do the same. It’s a two for one color this summer that will keep the extra change in your purse, and that I am all for!

For a more natural look you might want to try a more subtle contrast of caramel undertones with vanilla highlights. Great for anyone who loves to surf like Ms. Diaz below. This economy is making quite an impact on beauty trends so most of us “hair obsessed girls” are opting for natural placement of highlights that grow out softer, and last longer.

Redken offers so many hot new summer colors, so I am sure you will find one that is right for you.

Here’s to fabulous, sexy hair everyone
