Sneak Peek at Katie Holmes on Set as Jackie Kennedy

Loren Ridinger — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 20:00:15 +0000

Katie Holmes is set to play Jackie Kennedy in the History Channel’s new miniseries The Kennedys, which debuts sometime next year. She seems to be doing a great job of living up to the fashion icon’s legacy with shift dresses, clean lines and that classic bob. Here’s a sneak peek:

What do you think? Does she look like Jackie O?

Straight Hair + Thick Brows for Fall 2010

Loren Ridinger — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 20:30:46 +0000

According to the runway, once summer comes to a close (Labor Day is slowly creeping up on us), we will be leaving our loose, beachy hair behind. This fall has been deemed the season for sleek, straight strands and thick, strong brows a la J. Mendel and Anna Sui:

Shiny hair and filled-in eyebrows simply enhance your own natural beauty. My dear friend and celebrity hair guru, Ken Paves, has two amazing products that can help you achieve the simple hairstyle:

And to give yourself healthy-looking brows, use the Motives Brow Kit or Eyebrow Pencils:

What do you think of these looks?

BEAUTY Stumper of the Week: Katherine Heigl

Loren Ridinger — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 19:30:06 +0000

Katherine Heigl sure has been getting a lot of bad press this week for this bouffant she wore while promoting her new film The Killers. Her over-sprayed, structured 80s hairstyle is a definite red carpet don’t… at least for someone Katherine’s age! I miss her soft, pretty blonde hair…

Yay or nay?

Red Carpet Beauty: Jessica Beil at The A-Team Premiere

Loren Ridinger — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 14:30:26 +0000

This pink lip color is such a pretty, unexpected twist on tomboy Jessica Biel. She looked absolutely beautiful at the premiere of The A-Team in Hollywood – not only was her makeup fresh and fun, but I am loving her relaxed, bedhead hair!

To get hair like Jessica’s, simply create a middle part and blow dry haphazardly with a round brush. Then work some texturizing hair product around the ends to create that piecey effect.

Motives Rich Formula Lipstick in Pink Rose $14

Dabbing on the lip color with tip of your finger will help you recreate the look of soft lips. You don’t want to overdo it with the pigment or hard edges!

Summer Trend Alert – The Modified Turban

Loren Ridinger — Tue, 18 May 2010 19:45:36 +0000

When you read the title of this post, were you a bit nervous? I sure felt nervous when I started hearing (and seeing) the buzz around these modified turbans! Not a headband, but not really a turban either… I’m thinking it could look pretty cute as a pool or beach hair accessory.

They are all the rage in the blog world right now, so if you’re up for trying this new trend here are some good options to get you started:

Urban Outfitters, Urban Renewal Silky Turban Headwrap $18

Gold Saturn Summer Blues Knit $32

Saks Fifth Avenue, Jennifer Behr Turban Headwrap $162

What do you think??

Lots of love,

Beauty Tip: How to Get Jessica Stroup’s “Soft” Punk Rock Look

Loren Ridinger — Mon, 17 May 2010 18:30:39 +0000

Here is 90210’s Jessica Stroup at the 12th Annual Young Hollywood Awards sporting a new, short pixie cut… and soft, punk rock makeup. Who would have thought the adjectives “soft” and “punk rock” would go together? – but Jessica’s look says it all:

Recreating her sophisticated-not-scary rocker face is easier than you think :)

Mess up your hair… a little bit!
Swipe on some dark, dramatic liner
Go for matte, pink lips

Motives Luxe Precision Eye Line in Noir $14

Motives Pressed Eye Shadow in Plum Frost $12

Motives Rich Formula Lipstick in Misty Rose $14

I’m mentally scanning my closet right now to think of the perfect outfit for this look. So what do you think? Will you try it?

And I Always Thought Gray Hair Was a Bad Thing?

Loren Ridinger — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 13:40:33 +0000

I’m completely confused – is anyone else? Why are young women like Kelly Osborne, 25, and teen fashion blogger Tavi, 13, dying their hair gray? Or in Kelly’s case, a light purplish-gray color. I can’t say that it is at all flattering. But on a larger note, Tavi looks like a grandmother and she’s not even out of middle school. Am I wrong? What do you think?

Love,

How to Get Sade’s Timeless Look

Loren Ridinger — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 16:00:17 +0000

A decade since her last album, Sade’s Soldier of Love is No. 1 on the charts. The singer hasn’t aged a day, and neither has her iconic style. And I love how her signature red lipstick/wrapped ponytail/skinny-gold-hoop earrings look works for day or night.

Why Changing Your Hair Color Means Changing Your Makeup

Loren Ridinger — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 23:45:39 +0000

When you change your hair color (a la the newly-brunettes Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Richie) do you change your makeup, too? I find that it’s a terrific opportunity to experiment with lip, cheek and eye-shadow colors. (Your foundation, which needs to match your skin tone, should always stay a constant!!) Anyway, here’s my rule of thumb, which I learned from a makeup artist-friend: If you’re taking your hair in a brighter direction – strawberry blonde, coppery red or rich chestnut – a shift to softer, neutral shades on your eyes and lips can look amazing. (I love our bestselling Motives Lip Shine in Candlelight, $10.50.) Alternately, if you’re going blonder or darker, you can get away with bolder, more dramatic hues: red lips or a lush smoky eye.

I always take my hair a little darker in the winter. Am I wrong for feeling like, even in Miami, we should have a change of seasons, too?

Loren

If Celebs Can’t Live Without Them, Why Should You? Shop Ken Paves and Scott Barnes

Loren Ridinger — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 21:47:01 +0000

Two of my great friends – Scott Barnes, an amazing Hollywood beauty expert, and Ken Paves, the celebrity hair stylist I mentioned last week – have partnered with Market America, allowing you to buy their superior products right on our website, giving you convenience and the opportunity to get paid to shop! These guys have created the iconic looks behind Jennifer Lopez, Eva Longoria, Kim Kardashian, Jessica Simpson… and the list goes on…! Kim and I are huge fans of Scott’s Body Bling – check out the gorgeous glow it gives you:

Scott’s new book, About Face, and Ken’s hair tools are perfect gift options for your beauty-obsessed friends. Honestly, when I buy something for a friend from Scott or Ken I end up just buying two anyway (one for myself)!

I work really hard to make sure you all have the best online shopping experience possible with the hottest partners like Scott and Ken. I figure if celebrities can’t live without them – why should you?

xoxox,

Loren
