vs honeysuckle

This time of year, woodsy, feminine scents are my favorite and this brand new scent from Victoria’s Secret immediately caught my eye.

It appears Victoria’s Secret has added a new, more sophisticated line to complement its fan favorites, and I’m definitely interested! This new scent sounds absolutely divine in a warm, indulgent way and includes shea butter, vitamins and minerals.

Must get to the mall and sniff it out!

Victoria’s Secret Brilliant Shine Mist

vs brilliant shine mist

I (gulp!) still haven’t gotten around to trying Victoria’s Secret hair products, despite the rave reviews they garner for their innovative formulas and super luxe scents.

To me, this one looks like the perfect foray into the line’s offerings, after all, who wouldn’t want the sexy, silky hair it promises? The light aerosol spray is loaded with vitamins and silicones to kiss your hair with super serious shine. Plus, the pink gradient bottle is beautiful and fits perfectly into my color palette for fall!

Victoria’s Secret Brilliant Shine Mist is available from Victoria’s Secret Beauty for $10.

Emmy’s Red Carpet Watch: Heidi Klum

Heidi Klum was glowing on the red carpet at last night’s 2009 Emmy Awards in Los Angeles.

Pregnant with baby number FOUR, she wore a black Marchesa gown that hugged her every curve. Michel Aleman for Frederic Fekkai was responsible for her classy hairstyle while celebrity makeup artist Linda Hay created her flawless face.

Here’s how to get Heidi’s red carpet look:

Hair by Michel Aleman for Frederic Fekkai

Michel created a Fifties inspired up-do with a modern interpretation – ultra feminine with a bit of volume. To get the look he crafted soft texture with slight waves pulled back to softly frame the face. A strong middle part was accented by a chignon positioned back of the head at ear level. Michel started off by applying Fekkai Coiff Bouffant Gel to create some texture and then blow-dried the hair. Once dry, he applied Fekkai Coiff Oceanique to create the soft waves. He created a middle part and two pony tails in the back of the head at ear level, making sure the hair in front is smooth but pulled back softly. He teased each ponytail to create the volume and then brought together into one dramatic chignon. Aleman finished off with the Fekkai Advanced Brilliant Glossing Sheer Shine Mist.

Makeup by Linda Hay for Victoria’s Secret

The simplicity of Heidi’s gown inspired Linda to keep her makeup minimal and fresh. She used a palette of pale pinks and apricots for her eyes and cheeks. To begin Hay used brightener around her eyes, nose, and the corners of the mouth, blending everywhere to even out Heidi’s complexion. She followed this with a very light touch of cream powder blush on the cheeks.

On the eyes Hay used a selection of pale pink and lavender shadow’s from Victoria’s Secret, applying the pale pink to the lid using a flat shadow brush, lavender in the crease using a pointed shadow brush and a silver to highlight just under the eyebrow. Under the eye Hay applied a touch of lavender using a small pointed shadow brush and then added a touch of silver to the inside corner of the eye to make it pop. Next she curled the lashes + applied 3 layers of Black Mascara to the top and bottom. Individual lashes were applied to the outside corners to make the eyes pop. The lips were lined with a nude lip liner then painted with a beige lipstick. She finished off Heidi’s look with Victoria’s Secret Body Perfecting Spray to make her skin glow.
