How To Get Ashley Greene’s Hairstyle

How To Get Ashley Greene’s Hairstyle. Ashley loves her retro styled hairstyles and she always looks gorgeous with her retro looks. Celebrity Stylist for Pantene, Danilo shows us how we can get Ashley's Mtv red carpet look.



  • Starting on wet hair, Danilo sprayed the Pantene Pro-V Root Lifter Gel on her crown to prime her hair for a voluminous shape on top
  • Since Ashley was stationed outside on the red carpet, Danilo combed through the Pantene Pro-V Restoratives Frizz Control Ultra Smoothing Balm from the mid-shaft of her hair to the ends to keep it looking sleek and frizz-free despite the humidity
  • After applying the balm, Danilo blow-dried her hair straight
  • Danilo then pulled the top half of her hair back, using his classic French Lacing technique to give her healthy volume on top while leaving a dramatic side part for contrast
  • Then he used a large iron to create her loose flowing curls underneath, combing when necessary

To hold the look in place, Danilo sprayed her hair with the Pantene Pro-V Texture Hairspray for moveable texture while she worked the carpet

How To Get Katy Perry’s Makeup Look

How To Get Katy Perry’s Makeup Look. Katy Perry is known for her bold lips and sparkling eyes. Last week at the VMA's Katy had a gorgeous look to go with her sparkling dress Covergirl makeup artist, Jake Bailey shows us how to get her looks by using simple Covergirl products.





Katy’s look was definitely inspired by her dress; she wore an outrageous metal spiked mesh mini by “The Blonds.” The dress reminded me of a Gianni Versace book I have called “Rock and Royalty” and the powerful iconic images in it. I wanted the eyes to evoke that type of decadent glamour and of course complement the sparkle of the dress with a little sparkle on the eyes.

We used NARS Oil Free foundation as Katy’s base and a pink shimmer Blush for some glow. We kept the lips matte so the emphasis was on her eyes, but they definitely were not without color! For the carpet, Katy wore a matte coral and for her performance and after party, she wore a matte red.

The eye look was done with black and gunmetal shadows, silver glitter and liquid liner. A great trick to wearing glitter like this, is to blend a little cream shadow onto the area where you want to place the glitter. You should do this once your eye makeup is finished. So as a last step, gently apply the glitter using your fingertip… just a little at a time in order to avoid a mess. Once finished use scotch tape to remove any excess glitter that may have fallen on the face. Press the tape gently into the skin and it picks it right up.

Katy’s lashes were ultra long and gorgeous thanks to COVERGIRL LashBlast Length Mascara.

Ways To Store Makeup - Containers

Ways To Store Makeup - Containers. Last week I talked about one of the ways you can store your makeup is with a vanity, and while vanities are great not everyone can afford them. Or you might not have the room for it in your bedroom. Which is why containers are a great solution to storing your precious items.

Containers are convent and with so many different styles and designs containers make it easy to find something that fits your needs. At the moment I'm using two containers which I will show you below. You can purchase containers at practically any store including Target, Walmart, or K-mart. Ikea also has some great container solutions for makeup.

Sterilite 3-Drawer Wide Cart, White- Walmart ( I have something similar to this in my bedroom and each draw as it's own makeup section IE blush, eyeshadow etc)



Sterilite 7-Drawer Cart, Set of 2 ( for the ones with the big collections)



Sterilite 58-Quart Storage Box, Set of 8- ( I use this also and I always put items such as makeup brush bags, and extra items I don't use everyday).



I hope these ideas help and next week I'll have even more ways you can store your makeup :)

Fall 2009 Guerlain Slavic Beauty/Russian Beauty Collection

Fall 2009 Guerlain Slavic Beauty/Russian Beauty Collection. Guerlian's fall collection is inspired by bohemian colors and my favorite part about the collection is the packaging. The little swirls and designs on the products are so pretty and the colors are gorgeous. The main look behind the collection includes a fresh, smooth complexion, bright cheeks, eyes shimmering in a crimson glow and sparkling, rosy lips. Look below to see items from the collection in stores now.


Eyes and Lips Palette “Volga Princess”

In sumptuous black-and-gold packaging, reminiscent of the emblematic ornaments of Slavic art, Guerlain has placed the perfect soft pink and delicate taupe shades for the eyes to accent two lip colours of rosewood and sparkling pink. This all-in-one palette is the perfect accessory for a quick, easy and elegant touch-up.

Ombre Éclat 4 Shades Eye Shadow 406 “Tsarina”

Faded orange, brick red, old rose and aubergine combine to create an intense, rich and enchanting palette inspired by the dresses worn by Russian princesses. Accented with a champagne motif, the shades are contained in an exquisitely designed black-and-gold compact and create eyes that are velvet-smooth with a crimson glow, highlighting their pure clarity.

Radiant Blush “Russian Doll”

Guerlain created Russian Doll, a liquid blush with a unique shade of luminous, sheer pink to generate natural radiance and give the cheeks a healthy glow. It captures the healthy, radiant look of a woman who has a returned from a brisk walk on a crisp afternoon. The kaolin-based formula gives the blush a creamy texture that is easy to apply and dries within seconds for a comfortable, lasting feel.

Rouge G de Guerlain in two Seasonal Shades

The symbol of the ultimate luxury in lipstick, Rouge G de Guerlain welcomes two new limited edition shades, in perfect harmony with this season’s trends.

  • Graziella A pearly brick red

Retractable Eye Pencil

This new pencil comes with a built-in sharpener so you can achieve impeccable results every time you use it. It’s a take anywhere tool with a soft, precise tip to facilitate perfect application, so you can easily define an intense almond-shaped eye. For the evening, apply with a darker eye shadow on the outer lid for a more dramatic effect.

  • Gold

Le 2 de Guerlain

The now famous Le2 Mascara comes in a new limited edition plum shade, to illuminate the eyes and give your makeup the final touch that will make all the difference.

  • Nuit 2 Bohème

Ombre Éclat 4 Shades Eye Shadow

In celebration of the leading harmonies of late summer, beige, chestnut brown, bronze gold, and absolute dark brown in this palette evoke the enchanting ballet of autumnal leaves dancing in the wind. Worn separately or together, this new, permanent, four-color palette is the perfect assortment as it allows you to create a natural effect for the day time, and a more smokey effect for the evening.

  • 441 “Brun Mordoré”

Parure Compact Foundation

The Parure compact foundation collection with crystal pearls, evens out, mattifies and helps mask minor skin imperfections while adding radiance. With this new shade, Rose Intense, the skin appears radiant and the complexion, flawless.

Fall 2009 Barbie Loves Stila Swatches and Review

Fall 2009 Barbie Loves Stila Swatches and Review. From the new fall collection I couldn't wait to get my hands on the All Doll’d Up Palette and the Smudge Pot colored Little Black Dress. The packaging is my favorite part since I love Barbie. ( And Yes I'm Keeping the Boxes)

The thing that I love about Stila is that their eyeshadows
are very vibrant and the color payoff is great. They are also very long lasting and you definitely get your moneys worth with this palette since you get 12 shades for only $28.

As for the smudge pot the packaging is cute as well. The liner
is also long lasting and the little splash of pink mixed with the black is great for days when I wear my pink looks.

Bobbi Brown Pink Ribbon Collection

Bobbi Brown Pink Ribbon Collection. October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month and I encourage all my readers no matter what your age is to get screened to see if you have Breast Cancer. The National Cancer Institute has estimated that 1 in 7 women born today will be diagnosed with breast cancer at some point in their lives. Those number are pretty scary and that's why it's so important to detect breast cancer if it happens to develop in your body. The sooner they detect the cancer, the better change you have at surviving.

Since October is National Breat Cancer Awareness month many beauty and fashion companies have created special pink products for the month and many of the proceeds for purchasing these products will go to research and support different organization. During the Month of October I will let you guys know about some of these special pink products and what you can do to help.

Last year Bobbi Brown created the Pink Ribbon Collection which benefits The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. You can check out the products from this collection below.



Bobbi Brown has created a beautiful limited-edition lip set featuring an exclusive new shade of their Creamy Lip Color and a limited-edition Glitter Lip Balm. Retail price is $40.00 and this limited edition collection is available at Bobbi Brown counters across the United States. Bobbi Brown has committed to donate $35,000 in connection with North American sales to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. You can learn more from Bobbi Brown cosmetics at bobbibrown.com.

Dolce & Gabbana Holiday 2009 Collection The Golden Beams

Dolce & Gabbana Holiday 2009 Collection The Golden Beams. Looking for a little shimmer and romantic hues of rich reds and golds for this Holiday season? Then the Golden Beams was made for you. Filled with Holiday palettes for the eyes and rich colors for the lips plus added shimmer to the nails. Check out what's in the collection below.



"The Golden Beams Collection for Holiday 2009 captures the precious singularity of golden tones with a rare depth and an unexpected eroticism, celebrating three ultra femme variations on golden translucence, anchored by the drama and depth of surreal fantasy. Dolce & Gabbana use captivating contrasts to take beauty to a new level of decadence.

A trio of modern-minded golds - Yellow Gold, White Gold and Rose Gold - glaze, flicker and interact to reveal one sublime look that is at once sexy and glamorous. “Gold has always been a Dolce & Gabbana signature,” notes Stefano Gabbana. “This collection, based on three shades of gold,” adds Domenico Dolce, “encompasses the sensual, natural and romantic nuances of surreal femininity.”

The collection includes supple textures to enchant and seduce with glints of gold from an exclusive palette of glistening to pearly tones. A harmony of effortless precision results in a look that’s irresistibly off balance - and daringly, distinctively Dolce & Gabbana."
