Halloween Beauty that Doubles as Grammy Beauty & Style.

Since Halloween is the only time of the year where you go all out and unleash your inner-animal/god/goddess/alter-ego/rock star, why not investment in cosmetics that you can still rock during Christmas, New Year's Eve, and Grammy Week?

To supplement, "Rock Out as Your Favorite Rock Goddess or God for Halloween," http://luxurist.blogspot.com/2015/10/rock-out-as-your-favorite-rock-goddess.html and "Be a Disco Queen for Halloween," http://luxurist.blogspot.com/2015/10/be-disco-queen-for-halloween.html, up the ante with these accessories to complete and finish the look. 

Japonesque, that premium makeup brush and kit company, recently launch their equally but straight-up cosmetics line that professionals have been clamoring for.

This week, they premiered their new iridescent Pixelated Eye Shadow Palette that can be used dry for soft sheer wash of color and shimmer or used wet for a more opaqued glimmer (think of it as a grown-up glitter without the chunkiness) and as a really cool eyeliner.

This new Pixelated Collection represent Japonesque's new "4Ps:"  Performance, (color) Pay-off, Pigmentation (no chalky fillers), and Pixelated, as in pixilated like a butterfly's wings, using micro-glitter for a more dimensional look.

Halloween Makeup & Hair to the Rescue, the Easiest & the Cheapest Way to Trick o' Treat & The Makeup & Hair Products Make Good Investments After Halloween & the Holidays.

By Laura Medina

This one of many reason why this sweet-tooth scribe loves Halloween way more than cliche, stereotypical Christmas.  This is the the only time of the year when blondes want to be brunettes; people can reveal and revel in their alter egos, whether it be a gentle beast or a sexy vamp or inner animal, we can indulge in sweets of harvest; and we can go all-out crazy in makeup, hair, and costume..; we can go all out in our makeup for everyone.

Alright, we're being cheap but accessible here since we're starting out with Halloween basics from Sally Hansen and Rimmel, y0ur reliable black mascara, red nail polish, and can't go wrong black as midnight eyeliner.  Even, orange nail polish is easy and cheap.

Sally Hansen’s Miracle Gel nail colors in Electra-Cute and Blacky O and NYC New York Color Long Wearing Nail Enamel in Black Lace Crème and Times Square Tangerine will give you that long lasting festive manicure while the Rimmel London Wonder Lash Lift Me Up Mascara and  NYC New York Color’s 24 Hr Eyeshadow in New York At Night will add just the perfect amount of Halloween spirit to your eyes.

Skyy Hadley, celebrity manicurist and owner of As U Wish Nail Salon, offers step-by-step instructions to Candy Corn Manicure with Sally Hansen products...

1.  Paint one half of the nail in white (Sally Hansen Miracle Gel in Get Mod) and the other in yellow (Lauren B. Coachella Valley Sun).

2.  Apply nail art stickers (hole reinforcers cut in half). Apply two on each nail as shown below.

 3.  Working on one nail at a time, paint the area inside the stickers with orange nail polish (Sally Hansen Miracle Gel in Tribal Sun).

4.   Carefully remove the stickers.

5.    Repeat on all other nails. Allow 5 minutes for your nail design to dry and finish it with a coat of a top coat (Lauren B. Gel-like Top Coat).

LIONESS: Bronze, Bronze and more Bronze. All you need for this look is a little bit of contour and a whole lot of glō. Use glō Minerals Dust 24k all over your face and body for a youthful sheen.

First, begin by dividing hair into two sections down the middle. Spray hair with a generous amount of KMS California HAIRPLAY playable texture ($19.99) to create re-workable texture in the hair. Take the first section and begin to twist hair along the front down to the top of your ear. Once you have the twist in place, begin to braid until about halfway down the pigtail. Secure with a Scunci  No Damage Poly Band ($3.99) and tie a small light blue ribbon into a bow around the elastic for Dorothy’s look. Repeat on opposite side.

Next, take your John Frieda by Conair Loose Curls 1 ¼ Inch Barrel Curling Iron($29.99) and begin to curl the ends of each pigtail. This will create a full look on each side.

Finish with a spray of Philip B. Jet Set Precision Control Hair Spray ($30.00) to lock in your style.

Rock Out as Your Favorite Rock Goddess or God for Halloween.

By Laura Medina

Still hungry for Halloween costume ideas?

Shoot, use this holiday to become your favorite rock star and get thee to the Morrison Hotel Gallery at the fabled Sunset Marquis Hotel where you will see real celebrities and stars lounging about.

How's that for inspiration?

This scribe has always dig deep into fashion history for Halloween inspiration.  The Morrison Hotel Gallery's current exhibit, "The Look of Rock,"  is no exception.

Morrison Hotel Gallery is excited to present an exhibit of photographs that portray some of the most iconic and influential fashion styles in music history. Rock & Roll has shaped the way society has dressed throughout the years, and fashion has equally influenced rock & roll. From the King of Pop sporting a sequined jumpsuit with capes to Jimi Hendrix layering paisley shirts and bell bottoms of the Hippie Fashion era, all the way to Elton John and Ziggy Stardust creating Glam Rock, fashion has helped shape rock & roll's history. 

Bob Gruen, whose work will be on display in the exhibit, said, "Rock & Roll is more than the music. A big part is haircut and attitude, and people show their attitude by how they look. Tommy Hilfiger said, 'Musicians were more influential in the world of fashion than fashion designers.'"

 

The Look of Rock will open on Monday, October 26th at Morrison Hotel Galley's location inside the Sunset Marquis Hotel, and be up until Saturday, October 31st. It will then move to their location at the W Hotel on Hollywood Blvd., opening on Monday, November 2nd and will be up until Saturday, November 7th. The exhibit is free and open to the public. All images in the exhibit are for sale at each gallery and at www.morrisonhotelgallery.com.

Be a Disco Queen for Halloween.

By Laura Medina

You don't have to reach far or staid and traditional or stale slutty for All Hollow's Eve, aka Halloween, that only time of the year when everyone wants to look like this jolie laid scribe.  That solstice when everybody wants to flip-flop into their alter egos, when blondes yearn and achieve to be brunettes, when conservatives unleash their inner freaks and beasts, when desserts are considered the main entrees, this scribe's favorite meals.

Style Week Los Angeles, the last leg of American Fall Fashion Schedule, unleash out the glam, specifically Seventies Disco Glam in all its silvery lame glory, to Andre Soriano.

To bad American Apparel is going of business, you may have to go to Andre Soriano for the drapey, the sexy but oh so easy flow of laminated lame and disco-ball sequin leopards.

The Disco Ball aesthetics may be outlandish for now, which makes it great to go as a Disco Queen for Halloween but it's better to hold on for next year's Grammys Week and as Spring/Summer 2016 eveningwear.

Speaking of Disco Queen for Halloween...

This current season of FX's "American Horror Story: Hotel," is a great inspiration for Halloween fashionistas.

Actually, it's great value.

Basic, the "Disco Queen of the Lair," attires herself in the finest of haute couture and ready-to-wear, giving you the excuse to build or use your existing wardrobe, as long as you have damn good clothes.

All you need is fake blood...make sure you're friendly with your dry cleaner...perhaps a mirrored glove with press-on silver fake nails...then, you're set to be The Countess, like Lady Gaga.

You don't have to stretch far to be fabulous on Halloween.

Brentwood Beauty,, How Stars Really Get Good-Looking.

By Laura Medina

 

http://www.bluemercury.com/

In a very prestigious nook of a neighborhood where low-key celebrities mingle with UCLA students and retirees, celebrities maintain themselves by going to to all-natural and fair COTE Nail Salon and thank god, Bluemercury beauty chain finally landed where they're needed the most.

Emerging under the shadow of the flashier Sephora, Bluemercuy Brentwood situated themselves next to SoulCycle where Christian Bale is rumored to be working out.

The Bluemercury Brentwood is the only makeup/skincare boutique with it's own spa, hidden in the back...convenient to SoulCycle.  If you or a celebrity needs a makeover and tune-up post-workout/pre-event, you can do it in privacy, away from prying eyes like the paparazzi.  

Of course, Bluemercury serves what Sephora underserves.  Surprising, it took Brentwood and Montana Avenue a long time to gain a decent beauty store...with it's own spa.

  

Again obviously, Bluemercy has what Sephora lacks...Trish McEvoy, the travel makeup pioneer with the Trapper Keeper of makeup palettes and kits.  Great for celebrities, makeup artists, and moms.

The Bluemercury Brentwood is tucked away at 1640 San Vicente Boulevard, Suite 108
Los Angeles, CA 90049, 310.442-5900.

The Bluemercury Montana Avenue is out in the open on 1402 Montana Ave., Santa Monica, CA 90403 310.394.7900

This former Charlestonian is proud that Charleston, SC got Bluemercury before the Westside did.  What took y'all so long?;) 

Now, those established celebrities can get what Charleston and Washington, D.C. have enjoyed all along.

 http://www.coteshop.co/

Another hidden cove of beauty is the soothing, Nantucket-styled nail salon, Cote.

Worried about the chemicals and the treatment of nail salon employees...and the sanitary conditions, Mary Lennon and Leah Yari wanted a chic, clean, and comfortable nail salon where all you want and need is a nice and neat manicures and pedicures (basic for bare-footing pilates, yoga, and cardio-barre work-outs).  Not only do they want an open, clean spot for neat nails, they want respected nail technicians; and they want healthy nail polishes representing the "free of five toxins" commonly used in mainstream nail polishes. Cotes' own nail polishes are free of:  formaldehyde, phthalate (DBP), toluene, formaldehyde resin and camphor. 

This is where this wholesome scribe comes for a monthly pedicure, a "nothing weird, straight-up" pedicure.

Sanitary and honesty is very important there.

There are no circulating foot baths that foster bacterial growth, therefore no foot infections.  Instead sudsy, hot foot baths in stainless steel tubs.  Followed by, a calves and foot massage.  The equipment trimming, scrubbing, and cutting are fresh.  The polished neatly and classically painted on.

Cote has a nail polish library of their own eco-healthy polishes in timeless shades that never go out of style.  So, you'll have your own signature nail polish that's reliable time and time again.

If you want outlandish, elaborated manicures with bedazzlement...in an hurry...this is not the place for that.

But, if you want wholesome, healthy well-maintained nails in an honest, clean environment where the staff is respected at a reasonable price then, this is the place for you.

Just they're all-natural and fair, this doesn't mean they're bare.  What they lack in flashy, Cote makes it up in comfortable luxury.  They serve you refreshments during the service.  Cote also doubles as an upscale but laid-back home decor and gifts shop.

Cote is a guilt-free treat.

Now, you how Brentwood maintains itself on a regular basis.  No flash, just laid-back luxury.

By Laura Medina

 http://www.belliskincare.com/belli-healthy-glow-facial-hydrator

Femme Fatale Organic Eye Shadows: Mesa, http://www.theorganicface.net/product/organic-eye-shadows-mesa/

When this scribe first encountered The Organic Face Cosmetics in the hectic backstage of Fashion Week Los Angeles, this writer knew this has to be tough and edgy to meet the demands of the designers' visions and those trendy-hungry hordes waiting to mac those fashion-forward looks.

A eight-teen years veteran makeup-artist also knows it has to be equally healthy for the models' skin and her skin as well.  This is how Noreen Diani whipped up The Organic Face Cosmetics.

As a eight-teen years makeup professional, she couldn't just quit makeup but she couldn't deal with the horrible and painful reactions she got from using and absorbing conventional, mainstream makeup.  As a professional makeup-artist who wants to be in the game, she was disappointed by the lack of color spectrum and the weakness of traditional organic/all-natural makeup that failed to meet the avant-garde demands of upscale, editorial fashion shoots that set the standards for the upcoming trends.

So, Noreen took it in her own hands, literally, and whipped edgy, fashion-forward makeup colors in food-grade ingredients with benefits in her kitchen.  Basically, she's like any other makeup inventor, she turned her kitchen into a lab.  In the process, she removed the conventional toxins, irritants, chemicals and cheap fillers such as talc, synthetic dyes, parabens, and bismuth oxychloride out of makeup without compromising on performance or durability.

She came up with pure mineral cosmetics that are weightless, long wearing, water-resistant and offer protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays.

The Organic Face Mineral Powders provide complete coverage without clogging pores, or irritating sensitive skin, making the line suitable for skin conditions such as rosacea, eczema and acne-prone skin.

The male models and actors are rest assured that the Mineral Powders cover and heal shaving and acne scars while still looking natural and masculine.

The Organic Face's Femme Fatale Organic Eye Shadows in Mesa is Rice Powder and Cinnamon Bark base with extracts in Thyme, Rosemary, Lavender, and Golden Seal.

The Mesa Palette is a smoky and earthy palette of earth and olive tones adds a certain je ne sais quois to day looks and shimmering subtlety to evening or night looks; makes every eye gleam.  What's really awesome, The Organic Face Eye Shadows can be used both dry for a more subtle daytime look then dampen wet for a more dramatic, opaque look or dampen wet as eyeliner.

Used dry with a kabuki brush, this scribe has fluffed Cocoa Eyeshadow, from the Mesa Eyeshadow, as a bronze-rose blush for a daytime look then swept the darker Rose Gold as a Seventies-Disco cheek contour streak.

Love it, when it comes to all-natural eyeshadows, that makeup artists are thinking ahead, healthy eyeshadows that can be used wet or dry as eyeshadows or as eyeliner.

 

Addiction Lip Gloss in Maple, http://www.theorganicface.net/product/organic-lip-gloss-maple-shine/

The Organic Face's Addiction Lip Gloss in Maple, may describe it as a "deep, sheer burgundy with a touch of glimmer" but for this scribe, it's a milk chocolate-nude that looks what it's made from...cocoa & shea butter-based non-sticky gloss.  It's not totally "candy."  It's a mixture of: Vitamin E, Thyme, Cinnamon, Rosemary, Lavender, Golden Seal, Lemon, Grape Fruit, Tumeric Powder, Carrot Oil, and Kaolin.

Unlike most organic makeup, not only is The Organic Face is edgy enough to be fashion-forward but it's wallet-friendly.  At $24.99 for the Eyeshadow Quad Palette and $16.99 for the Addiction Lip Gloss, even your tween can afford to dabble in healthy makeup, which makes for a good habit.

PlayOn^™ Lip Crayon, https://janeiredale.com/us/en/mineral-makeup/lips/playon-lip-crayon.htm

The pioneer of all-natural makeup, Jane Iredale hasn't rested on her laurels.

While inventing new products while sticking to her all-natural approach, she grew a legion of loyal fans who are women industry players and producers in film, tv, and entertainment.

Her latest are the PlayOn Lip Crayons with Wheat Germ Glycerides in current colors of peachy-orange Charming,  bronze-nude Blissful, and the classic dark red Naughty.

A elegant, all-natural classic.

See, you can still have fun with healthy makeup to add benefits to your skin while bumping up your self-esteem, perhaps giving the courage to be confidentially edgy and bold to face the world and keep on keeping on.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Beauty On the Go, HealthyBeauty Supplements.

By Laura Medina

While South Carolina is wringing themselves out of a flood, California is still burning during a drought..;and it's Fashion Week Los Angeles when all sorts of fashionistas and stylistos are driving themselves crazy, committing to three different "fashion weeks" scattered all over town.

Since Angelenos are sick of the over-extended Summer and they really need to look good, appearing good starts from the inside.

Here are some vitamin supplements specifically made for what people really care about...skin and hair.

http://www.heliocare.com/

HELIOCARE^® harnesses the natural and powerful antioxidants in Fernblock^® PLE (Polypodium Leucotomos Extract) to help preserve your skin’s ability to protect itself against sun-related effects and aging.*

Taken orally once or twice per day, natural HELIOCARE^® can help you maintain more youthful-looking skin – and you can still enjoy the sun. However, Heliocare is not a sunscreen and should be used in addition to topical sun protection.

https://www.seabuckwonders.com/products/ultimate-hair-skin-and-nails/

Seabuck Wonders Ultimate Hair, Skin & Nails with Omega-7 and Biotin (5000mcg) caters to what Angelenos need...boosting healthy and strong nails, skin, and hair for the glare of the red carpet and the catwalk.

By combining biotin with the cell membrane nurturing properties of sea buckthorn oil, this powerful blend provides the best support for strength and beauty. Supercharged with Omegas 7,3,6,9 and more than 190 phytonutrients. 

Biotin is a B vitamin that helps improve the keratin protein structures in hair, skin and nails for natural strength and softness. It’s great for supporting hair health and boosting the overall moisture systems in the body for the softest skin and strongest hair.

These ideal growing conditions fortify our sea buckthorn with powerful antioxidants, Omegas-7, 3, 6, and 9, and more than 190 phytonutrients. Sea Buckthorn helps promote skin hydration, elasticity and regeneration.

Antioxidants found in sea buckthorn also play an important age defying role by fighting free-radical damage that leads to fine lines and wrinkles, while Vitamins A and E provide excellent support for a healthy, bright complexion. Omega-3, another key nutrient in sea buckthorn oil, helps maintain scalp health as well as hydrates the hair and scalp.
