EMMY HAIR AND SKIN with Dr. Jessica Wu and Makeup&Go

August 30, 2010

How fun were those Emmys?!

Dr. Jessica Wu: Dermatologist to Emmy nominees, shares her Emmy skin care tips that will help you can get ready for those big nights right at home.

Here are her tips celebrities use to get that ‘glow’ right in the comfort of their own homes.

  • Exfoliate once or twice a week with a gentle scrub (I like Philosophy Hope in a Jar for face and Fresh Brown Sugar Body Polish for Body);  
  • Hydrate at night with a moisturizer that contains hyaluronic acid (like Nude Skincare Moisture Balance)
  • Brush a shimmer powder over the apples of cheeks (I like Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick)
  • Use a body bronzer on shoulders, arms, and legs (my favorite is Scott Barnes Body Bling). 



And for makeup like the stars… Emmy weekend hotspot had local customers getting glammed up for  star studded parties, and red carpets all weekend long.  

A beauty industry first,
Makeup&GO! transforms the concept of professional makeup application from something women previously reserved for special occasions to allow anyone the feeling of being red carpet ready.

Makeup&GO! offers a convenient, affordable and engaging space to get GOrgeous anytime. Best of all, there's no obligation to buy makeup, simply fun and GOrgeous makeup application services.


Services start at just $18!!!

GOT A DD WITH SHAMPOO ANXIETY? KNOTTY GIRL TO THE RESCUE!

August 26, 2010

My darling daughter (the DD) Aria refuses to let me wash her hair. Let alone brush it.  It's a nightmare.  I have seven hundred bottles of stuff and she will have none of it.  She looks like a raggamuff.

Until now.

I have become obsessed with the adorable brand of cruelty free hair products for little girls (tweens too!) called  KNOTTY GIRL. Why?  Cuz Aria is letting me get my fingers in her hair and scrub it and rinse it and I've been waiting for this moment for four and a half years.

K, I have washed it, I'm just sayin' it's like pulling teeth.  Or getting her to eat spinach.

Her hair looks and smells amazing.  Shocking.

That's why. Period. The. End.

Oh yah, the line smells delish, the art design is perfect for little girls and it's natural, paraben, paba, silicone and sulfate free.

Made right here in L.A., I was dazzled by every single product when I saw it at Larchmont Beauty Supply last week. 

But it's sold EVERYWHERE. 

I mean, just look at the yum yum shampoos, conditioners, detanglers and glitter sunblock!

Natasha fills us in on what stylist Mika Fowler’s doing for hair this season to get red carpet ready for the Emmy Awards…

August 25, 2010


Anastasia turned me onto hairstylist Mika Fowler at Gavert Atelier 6 years ago and I have not cheated once. She’s that good! Check out what she’s doing for Emmy season –
 
 
As Emmy season is quickly approaching, the trendsetters of Hollywood will be looking for the most chic hairstyles to premiere on the red carpet.  Mika Fowler, Creative Director for the Gavert Atelier Salon in Beverly Hills</b>, offers 5 different Emmy hairdos and the dresses she believes they best accessorize.  The classic actress, as seen on Jennie Garth, is elegant, which works well with a romantic Dior gown.  Wanting to spice it up like 70's big hair? Actresses like Scarlett Johansson and Katherine Heigl pair timeless teased, sky-high do's with elegant gowns like a Louis Vuitton.  Another tasteful look is a naturally feminine soft updo, as seen on Drew Barrymore.  This modest and gorgeous style would look exquisite with any feminine Vera Wang lace dress.  Next, Mika suggests going retro with this old Hollywood look, creating an '80s front poof that can easily be accessorized with a material girl dress or fun bows.  Finally, Mika advises that no A-lister can go wrong with effortless, sleek straight hair that is parted down the middle, Jennifer Aniston's go-to style.  Simple hair allows you to go big with fun accessories or stay simple with a Calvin Klein dress.  Can't wait to see the stars' Emmy looks?  Create your own do's and shine like the stars with these beautiful hairstyles.

Makeup Mandy, queen of all things eyes and gorgeous lashes shares her FAVORITE Eye products with us!   Take note! 

Hollywood Secret – these little "botox" like sticks instantly lift firm and get rid of lines. Results last 12 hours and after a month you will start to have permanent results. These little q-tips contain a peptide that relaxes the muscle from the bottom up! The cost $150 for 32 sticks. https://makeupmandy.myshopify.com/products/hollywood-secrets-anti-wrinkle-sticks

Rodial Eyelight– is my favorite all around eye cream as it works on lines, puffys and circles! Again instant gratification with great long term benefits. I love this eye cream under makeup because it absorbs fast without a greasy residue. Makeup applies flawlessly on top of this one and its good for every skin type so makes a great on-set Kit essential for me.

Rilastil Mascara-the Volumizing one! Its honestly the best mascara in the world. Its dramatic but not clumpy and contains beneficial lash ingredients like biotin and panthenol and is tar free! It puts Dior show to shame. Similiar to YSL's Faux Cils, but never dries out before you finish your tube! $32 and will last you a few months. https://makeupmandy.myshopify.com/products/rilastil-mascara

Of course my LAshX Gel Cleanser for eyes is one of my faves too. This eye makeup remover is the first cleansing product to stimulate lash growth, improve the lash health and take makeup off without oils or parabens! I have oily skin so I hate using any cleansers that are greasy! https://makeupmandy.myshopify.com/products/lashx-cleanser
