Maybelline: Baby Skin Pore Eraser - Review

Let me start this review off by saying, I personally haven't read or seen much about Maybelline Baby Skin Pore Eraser. I first saw on tumblr, I was obsessed with the packaging. I did further research an found out that Baby Skin Pore Eraser has been out since 2013! WHAT? I'm quite surprised it didn't have much media coverage.  

Ever since then, I've been dying to get my hands on it. Now this product isn't available in Australia, i had to purchase online using a forwarding address but for everyone else overseas- its available in stores.

People For Plants: Eye Cream

Essential to help brighten and revitalise, this cooling, hydrating, fragrance free eye cream with anti-ageing benefits, quickly absorbs into the skin of the delicate eye area. It works to form a soothing and protecting blanket and helps minimise the appearance of lines and puffiness.

Rich with soothing chamomile and calendula, both extracted with an innovative method to maintain their high potency as skin-soothing actives and Australian wild harvest Kakadu plums, which have 50 times the vitamin C of oranges. Antioxidants from rosemary and milk-thistle assist the skin to detoxify, while hyaluronic acid locks in moisture and aloe vera is hydrating. The delicate area around your eyes will appear brighter, skin tone evened, dark circles and fine lines minimised, skin hydrated, firmer and smooth.

Kevin Murphy: Head Back Down Under For Myer SS'15 Fashion Parade

KEVIN MURPHY HEADS BACK TO THE AUSSIE RUNWAY

TO STYLE THE MYER SPRING SUMMER 15 FASHION LAUNCH PARADE

Global hair editorial guru, Kevin Murphy, is heading back home to Australia to direct the hair for the Myer SS15 Fashion Launch Parade.

The much-anticipated event will be held at Carriageworks in Sydney on Thursday 7 August, showcasing the latest looks in fashion, hair and make-up to a VIP audience.

This year will feature the latest designer labels to join the Myer family, including, By Johnny, Little Joe Woman and L by Lisa Ho, with acclaimed fashion designer, Alex Perry, opening the show. The event will also see the Face of Myer, Jennifer Hawkins, walk the runway, as well as Myer Ambassadors Kris Smith and Kate Peck.

Assisted by a team of 24 Session.Stylists, Murphy will be responsible for the creation and execution of the hairstyles of the parade’s female and male models, with James Nicholson and Nathan Gorman at the helm as co-hair directors. The hair look will see pops of pastels incorporated, including candy pinks and purples, baby blue, lemon and mint green, with the aim of amplifying the depth of colour in the SS15 Collection as well as complementing the soft makeup look.

“I’m very excited to be working with Myer on this prestigious event for the sixth season,” says Murphy.

“Spring Summer collections are always playful and colourful, so it really is a time when we can experiment with hair on the runway, which I’m looking forward to.”

INSPIRATION

“We wanted the hair look to be whimsical and romantic, taking inspiration from water and the ocean”

“Soft pastels and hair colour is really the trend of the season, but we wanted the look to be classic still, so the style of the hair has notes of the 190s and 1940s”

GET THE LOOK

Step 1: Prime using Hair.Resort.Spray ($34.95) when the hair is dry

Step 2: Part the hair off centre and using a medium tong, tong the hair on the front and top to create volume.

Step 3: Loosely braid both sides back toward the nape

Step 4: Stitch with hair elastic, rolling up away from hairline, toward the nape. The aim is to create a Katharine Hepburn silhouette

Step 5: Once the style has been created, apply Fresh.Hair ($32.95) and White.Bug ($24.95) liberally until 'Marie Antoinette' white hair is achieved, then seal with Session.Spray ($29.95)

Step 6: It’s time to get creative with colour! Pick your favourite Color.Bug ($24.95) and rub into the hair, then finish with Shimmer.Shine ($39.95).

Tip: Depending on the colour intensity you want, apply Night.Rider on first, then rub in Color.Bug for a bright colour. For a softer tone, apply Color.Bug gently over Hair.Resort or Fresh.Hair

Interesting Shaving Facts from Schick

Interesting Shaving Facts from Schick

• Most women perform the grooming ritual of shaving unwanted body hair a few times a week. In a survey conducted by Schick, 69% of women view shaving as a chore, but 90% of women felt good after shaving.

·         Hair grows almost 2cm per month.

·         A popular myth is that shaving makes the hairs grow back thicker, which isn’t true at all. Shaving only removes hair at the surface of the skin. The sharp edge caused by shaving the hair creates the rough "stubble" you can feel on your legs or armpits.

·         Historians have found evidence as far back as 300BC about removing female body hair.

·         Do you know that a merkin is a wig for the pubic area? The origin of the pubic wig to the 1450s. Women would shave their pubic hair for personal hygiene and to combat pubic lice and wear a merkin.

·         The average length of time a woman spends shaving in her lifetime is 72 days which isapproximately 1,728 hours. Yikes!

·         The only places on the human body where we don’t grow hair are on the palms of our hands, the soles of our feet and our lips.

·         If you pull out a hair that is at the end of its life cycle, it won’t hurt.

Hydro Silk:

Schick’s Hydro Silk Razor, with hydrating water activated Serum is the ideal choice for achieving beautiful hair-free skin. The unique moisturising strips and 5 Curve-Sensing Blades are specially designed to shave the contours of a woman’s body and further reduce skin irritation leaving legs soft, smooth and sexy all winter long.

HT: Create Chic, Short Hair. Tips From Kevin Murphy

HOW TO CREATE A CHIC, SHORT STYLE: TIPS FROM HAIR GURU KEVIN MURPHY

The short cut is back and it’s time to take the plunge. The 2014 do’ is edgy, feminine and playful and has taken over Hollywood, with the likes of Karlie Kloss, Beyonce, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Coco Roch opting for a dramatic new look. We’ve even seen Supermodel Gisele Bündchen rock a faux buzz cut for the latest Balenciaga campaign, if that’s not statement enough – shorter hair is in!

International hair guru Kevin Murphy says in order for the look to be modern, this cut-of-the-moment should sit just above the shoulders, be chunky and full of volume.

“The more structured clothing that is in fashion today suits a short cut better than long hair.  Emphasis is now on the waist and the shoulders and with this comes high necklines. These pieces look better when the hair is away from the neck.”

Please see below for some tips from Kevin Murphy:

· The look should be loose, casual and understated. Heavy overgrown fringes with blunt textured edges will make it a bit soft and rock’n’roll but also low key

· Keeping the layers really long is best as this gives the hair a ‘lived in’ look

· Scared of getting the chop? For women afraid to make the dramatic move to cut off their hair, then try the faux bob

· Faking a bob is super easy, just style a low pony tail and tuck the tail up and under before securing with a pin. Pull some hair out around your face as this will give the appearance of short hair

Murphy also says that using the right products is vital to ensure this style looks great. The best styling products are lotions and creams that allow the hair to be moisturised but still absorb and remove the frizz, while enhancing the curl.

To maintain the look, Kevin Murphy recommends the following products:

	KEVIN.MURPHY MOTION.LOTION – RRP $32.95 Treats nuisance fly-aways while protecting hair from harsh UV rays. A light grooming lotion that also works as a sunscreen and can be worn at the beach, on the dance floor.
	KEVIN.MURPHY HAIR.RESORT.SPRAY – RRP $34.95 The ultimate product to create sexy, textured hair all year long. A weightless mist that makes perfectly undone beach hair more effortless than ever. Works as a thickener for fine to medium hair and is part foundation, part finishing product.
	KEVIN.MURPHY FRESH.HAIR – RRP $32.95 Actively cleans the hair while giving body and texture; the formulation removes excess oil and odours.
	KEVIN.MURPHY LUXURY.WASH – RRP $32.95 A super rich, moisturising shampoo for dry or damaged, thick or coarse hair. Extracts of Peruvian Bark, Orange Blossom and Myrtle add moisture to colour treated hair to keep it protected from further damage.
	KEVIN.MURPHY LUXURY.RINSE – RRP $33.95 A high performance deep conditioner for coarse, coloured and dry/damaged hair. Silk proteins and amino acids rebuild damaged hair while mango butter moisturises coloured hair.

CK ONE

ANNOUNCES NEW GLOBAL ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN

TO CELEBRATE FRAGRANCE’S 20th ANNIVERSARY

NEW YORK, NY, JULY 2, 2014 – Calvin Klein, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of PVH Corp. [NYSE: PVH] and Calvin Klein Fragrances, a division of Coty, Inc. [NYSE: COTY], today announced a new global advertising campaign for the ck one fragrance to debut in July 2014. The campaign celebrates the 20th anniversary of the iconic, original unisex fragrance, while reflecting the cultural significance of individuality, self-expression and digital identity.

The campaign was shot on location in New York by famed photographer Mario Sorrenti – who photographed the iconic images of Kate Moss for the OBSESSION Calvin Klein campaigns – and produced under the direction of Calvin Klein, Inc.’s in-house ad agency and studio and creative agency Mother New York. The new ck one campaign stays true to the brand’s heritage of featuring emerging talent with a diverse cast of models, artists and musicians.

The talent includes singer/songwriter Dev Hynes and his girlfriend, singer Samantha Urbani; sister musicians Say Lou Lou; electro-pop singer Kelela; electronic artist and producer Evian Christ; Korean pop star Taeyang; singer and actress Soko; artist Ally Marzella; fashion photographer Michael Bailey Gates; photographer and fashion designer Petra Collins; and models Edie Campbell, Stephan James, Chuck, Ali Michael, Jing Wen, Justin Gerard, Lucky Blue, Maggie Laine, Marcel Castenmiller and Victor Correia.

Music has always been a key component of past ck one advertising campaigns and initiatives, and that tradition is continued in the new campaign. In addition to counting eight up-and-coming musicians as a part of the new cast, the TV spot features an exclusive demo produced by electronic artist and producer Evian Christ.
“After breaking boundaries 20 years ago as the original shared fragrance, ck one remains a best-selling fragrance globally,” said Steve Mormoris, Senior Vice President of American fragrances, Coty Prestige. “The new campaign captures the relevance of the brand for a new generation.” Said Steve Shiffman, Chief Executive Officer, Calvin Klein, Inc.,

“The new advertising campaign represents a new chapter in the iconic ck one franchise. The print and video creative celebrates the legacy of the original campaign, embodying the diverse individuality of today’s youth.”

Shot from the perspective of a camera phone, the new ck one advertising campaign illustrates the modern practice of using digital identities to connect with others and to convey individuality. The television campaign makes a private world public by following the evolving stories of the cast as they find ways to express themselves digitally. The print campaign features the outcome of this self-exploration through a collage of self-portraits.

2 - 2 - 2 / ck one / New Global Ad Campaign

The digital strategy for this launch will focus on global Snapchat – the first time the brand has used this platform – and Tumblr accounts, through which consumers will discover the ck one campaign talent via content that features a journey of self-exploration from the cast on set of the advertising campaign shoot. On Tumblr, a dedicated blog will live at ckmeforme.tumblr.com where hundreds of digital assets from the shoot will be aggregated with the #ckmeforme hash tag alongside discovered content from other communities in line with the ck one point of view.

Winter Complexion With Max Factor CC Cream

Makeup Meets Skincare For A Perfect Winter Complexion With Max Factor CC Cream

 Banish dry skin this winter and give your complexion a boost with Max Factor CC Cream, the original multi-tasking must-have. This popular hybrid product does it all, offering flawless, high-level coverage plus many skincare benefits to amp up your winter skincare regime. Glycerine hydrates skin, leaving it feeling moisturised, while combined skincare ingredients work together to brighten the complexion and give smoother-looking skin.

What is a CC cream?

Born and developed in Korea, CC Creams, also known as Colour Correcting Creams, are the next generation of BB creams or Beauty Balms, which married sheer coverage and skincare benefits together in one clever formula. CC creams take these key benefits to the very next level by delivering more coverage and skincare benefits in a sophisticated multi-tasking solution.

  

Max Factor CC Cream provides intense complexion correction immediately on application, to create a healthy, natural-looking glowing skin statement.

Max Factor Global Creative Design Director, Pat McGrath comments: “The advantage of CC Cream is that you get a sheer finish that looks flawless but not heavy. Try applying it with your fingertips, blending into your skin like you would your moisturiser and then use a touch more formula in areas where more coverage is needed. It really is that simple.”

As BB creams took the world by storm, reviews the world over showed that consumers were left confused as to how to use the formulas to achieve the very best complexion enhancing results.  Because Max Factor CC Creamconnects flawlessly with the skin, there is no need to fuss and over blend the product.  A quick and swift application works best to smooth and hydrate the surface to reveal a beautiful perfected natural looking skin.

Winter Hair SOS From ELEVEN Australia

Winter Hair SOS From ELEVEN Australia

The harsh winter elements can be a recipe for bad hair disasters. From frizzy hair and fly aways to split ends, it’s no wonder many of us hideaway under a beanie during the cooler months. Thankfully, we have some tips and tricks from ELEVEN Australia Co-Creative Director, Joey Scandizzo, to help beat winter hair dilemmas and ensure you have healthy, shiny locks all year round.

Controlling Winter - FRIZZ - Before you get out of the shower, rinse your hair with cold water instead of warm water.

It contains eleven benefits to cure your frizz problems and leave your hair smooth and silky.
Tame Winter - FLY AWAYS -Apply a light layer of hairspray and then gently brush the flyaways down. Use a boar bristle brush to reduce static. - The best way to control frizz is in the prep, use an anti-frizz shampoo and conditioner (try ELEVEN Australia’s SMOOTH ME NOW Anti Frizz Shampoo & Conditioner – from RRP $20.95) also helps to reduce fly aways and static.
Smooth - SPLIT ENDS  (Often caused by over-use of hair driers and straighteners in the winter months) -  An anti-frizz cream (such as ELEVEN Australia Frizz Control Shaping Cream – RRP $22.95) can help to temporarily smooth split ends, the only way to cure them for good it to cut them off. - You can apply Frizz Control to damp or dry hair for maximum protection against unwanted frizz.

HAIR By KEVIN HURPHY - 10 Years

KEVIN.MURPHY CELEBRATES 10 YEARS WITH LAUNCH OF BOOK, ‘HAIR BY KEVIN MURPHY’

To celebrate 10 years since launching his line of eponymous hair products, internationally renowned styling god, Kevin Murphy, has launched a limited edition book ‘Hair, By Kevin Murphy’.

A master of his profession, no one understands the power of transformative hair better than Kevin Murphy. Murphy’s impressive career spans more than three decades, during which time he has established himself as an industry icon and a hair master of fashion runway, editorial and film. His work has graced major Australian and global print publications including Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Vanity Fair, marie claire, Elle, Instyle, GQ and more.

The book is a collection of memories and milestones, celebrating some of Murphy’s best work. It features inspiring campaign imagery, magazine editorial and a snapshot of some of his favourite products and packaging.

“This collection of pictures celebrates 10 years of inspiration and innovation, driven by my desire to provide the products and tools needed to create those special moments yourself,” said Kevin Murphy.

Proceeds generated by the book will be donated to the ‘Culture Is Life’ foundation, a charity close to Murphy’s heart which aims to support community driven initiatives to deliver effective solutions to Indigenous suicide.

Indigenous Australians now have one of the highest rates of youth suicide in the world, and their loss of cultural identity and spiritual connection they once held with the land and environment are key drivers for this tragic statistic.

Through KEVIN.MURPHY and the brand’s financial support for Culture is Life, strong Indigenous community-led solutions are being voiced and heard.

Inspired by nature, the KEVIN.MURPHY range of washes, rinses, treatments and styling products is the ultimate indulgence for your hair – a way to combine high fashion runway looks with the added benefits of beautiful natural ingredients.

Beyoncé: Rise Review + Giveaway

Beyonce launches her new perfume Rise in February of 2014. The concept that lies behind the creation of this fragrance was inspired by Beyonce’s on-stage personal, as well as by “female empowerment and finding the inner strength that makes women so beautiful".  The fragrance is supposedly more intimate and more natural than the previous ones, inspired by the works of singer's favorite poet Maya Angelou.

Like all of Beyoncé past perfumes, this too is based around her favourite flower, the orchid, Beyoncé RISE has incorporated a gold symphony orchid. Its unique shape resembles a musical instrument, the perfect symbol for Beyoncé and features a rich, intoxicating floral scent.

RISE comes in a tall, elegant, classy glass bottle. It features a gold spike crown lid, which is very Queen B of her. The perfume itself is champagne / goldy in the bottle. Beyoncé believes all women’s power comes from within and when she connects with her very essence, she reveals her true individuality, strength and her inner beauty and this fragrance encourages all women to be all that they can be.

Before receiving this goodie in the mail, my sisters and I were test smelling it in our local Priceline. I sprayed this on my skin, the scent was quite familiar but I couldn't pin point it at the time. Until I was trying more perfumes at work and I came across Yves Saint Laurent's perfume called Manifesto, It was almost an exact dupe. I was quite surprised.

Rise has notes of apricot, Italian bergamot and iced basil sorbet. The main note of the perfume is  "Golden Symphony" orchid mixed with freesia and Sambac jasmine flowers.  Base notes are autumn woods, cashmere, musk and vetiver.

Rise has a true strong scent, which is quite over powering at first. So a little can go a long way. The main notes that you can smell are musk and wood, which isn't my personal favourite as I'm more for a fruity / floral scent. However if you prefer woody and musky scents, this is totally for you. It gives you a warm feeling, so definitely perfect for the colder months. Its truly gorgeous. It's very Lady like. The perfume really does justice to its name.
