Bumble and bumble Mending Masque

Bb’s Crème de Coco masque tops my list of favorites, so I was intrigued to hear about the brand’s newest line, Mending (Crème de Coco used to be their go-to line for dry, damaged hair). I’m dying to see if the Mending Masque measures up to the nourishing, shine-imparting formula of Crème de Coco.

Bumble and bumble Mending Masque is available from Bumble and bumble for $36.

Teen Corner: How to Get the Silkiest Hair EVER

This is my third Teen Corner entry in two days. Wow, I am so impressed with myself!

With a crazy-busy life: dad’s away fishing, mom’s a psycho (she harasses me daily to update this site!), Bailey has been scheming ways to convince our parents to buy her a dog and Janey’s been googling “how to kiss” (I’m not even kidding. What seven-year-old needs to know how to kiss?!). Keeping up with my family is harder than keeping up with those Kardashians!

With all the craziness surrounding me, the one thing I can count on every day is my hair. I have been using Bumble + bumble Creme de Coco Masque and it’s UHHHmazing! My hair is soft, silky and sleek:

Here’s how I use it:
After washing hair, squeeze out remaining water, apply a generous amount throughout hair and leave on for at least seven minutes, or in my case until the hot water runs out! Recommended usage is once a week, but I use it waaay more than that. I can’t help it– I’m addicted to the way it makes my hair feel. And it smells good, too!
Talk to you soon my loves,
Bree

Picasso-Inspired Hair and Makeup at Ruffian

ruffian-collage

“It’s kind of Jean Shrimpton meets Picasso,” says MAC key artist James Kaliardos of the look he created for the Ruffian spring 2010 runway show.

The accent on the eyes was a gray liquid liner that Kaliardos mixed up “art-school style” and painted on in a sweep from the inner corner up over the eyelid crease.

“We’re inspired by painters and the feeling of being an artsy girl,” says Kaliardos. “She’s beautiful, still, yet not too precise. It’s a strong look.”

Kaliardos completed the face with a “Liza lash,” cream blush under the cheekbones and a peachy lip.

Bumble + bumble celebrity hairstylist Neil Moodie created a loose chignon with lots of texture for the Ruffian show. “We used our fingers–no brushes–to make it natural,” says Moodie. “It’s very home-made, as if she created this look herself.”

To get this look:

  • Prep hair by blow drying with lots of Bumble + bumble Styling Creme
  • for texture.

  • Section dry hair into two and twist the top portion into a loose chignon just below the crown.
  • Grab the lower section and connect into the chignon, leaving it loose at the nape.

The Ruffian look was finished off with raspberry nails to match the carpet. No joke—the inspiration for the nails began from the floor up!

Creative Nail Design used Plumville and Blackjack nail shades to create a Picasso-inspired nail that was both theatrical and artistic.
