Sir John & L'Oreal Infall-A-Thon Took Over The Grove in LA, as Their Very Own Makeup Festival.

 By Laura Medina

L'Oreal had its own makeup festival, with their Creative Director and Beyonce's makeup artist, Sir John headlining and hosting.

They took over The Grove in Mid-city Los Angeles, all day and all night Saturday.

First thing in the morning, Sir John fully debuted and demonstrated L'Oreal's tough and practical Infallible Collection, in multiple use ways that are fast enough for busy moms from school to gym to work to soccer matches with the kids.

Their foundations come with SPF 25 and still durable yet lightweight enough for a swim then sweating it out at the gym, INFALLIBLE 24 Hour Fresh Wear Foundation, Lightweight.

Sir John knows you need to pack a punch with a lightweight, fewer products that you can tote in your tote bag with a tablet and a cell phone, stashed inside your tote bag zippered pockets.

Their foundation powder that's two shades darker can double as a contour, bronzer, then bronzer-eyeshadow,  INFALLIBLE 24H Fresh Wear Foundation in a Powder.  Yeah, Sir John showed using a darker foundation or a foundation powder can work as blush contour and all-natural eyeshadow in a 2-in-1 production.  As any makeup freak can attest, a cream in a cream formula can do a triple threat as an all-natural lip color, in addition as blush/contour and eyeshadow.

Here's the real kicker.  L'Oreal finally developed then launched a true multiple cheeks and lips, even eyes tint, Glow Paradise Lip and Cheek Tint, https://www.lorealparisusa.com/makeup/lip-color/lip-gloss/glow-paradise-glow-paradise-lip-and-cheek-tint-eternal-rose

It, first thing in the morning, he finally debuted Glow Paradise Lip and Cheek tints, instructing people to use their ring finger to precisely and delicately dab the tints on the lips, cheeks, and if neutral and deep enough, pat on the eye lids.

Before L'Oreal developed Glow Paradise Lip and Cheek, in earlier demos, Sir John was asked if he was escaping a fire, or trapped on a deserted island, he'll be escaping with sunscreen for his smooth scalp, brow gel, and Infalliable Pro-Matte Liquid Lipstick because it's creamy and "suede" enough as an eyeshadow then spreadable as cream blush and cream lipstick.

But now with Glow Paradise Lip and Cheek Tint, https://www.lorealparisusa.com/makeup/lip-color/lip-gloss/glow-paradise-glow-paradise-lip-and-cheek-tint-eternal-rose, you can get a really triple threat of a pop of color in your tote bag or even in your jeans pocket.

Art Hearts Fashion Still Hearts Fashion, But It Goes Straight to the Heart.

 By Laura Medina

Not did Art Hearts Fashion did an haute couture fashion show for Project Angel Food with red carpet haute couture designer, Alexis Monstanto, their current Los Angeles Fashion Week is fundraising for Ukraine.

This week's Art Hearts Fashion Week is also reflecting what fashion week has morphed into, immediate satisfaction.  Whatever strikes your fancy on the catwalk, can be quickly purchased right after the fashion show. At Art Hearts Fashion Week, during the day at the much more calmed daytime HUB, you can buy the outfit directly from the brand (they're not designers anymore) right after you spotted on the catwalk a minute ago, or directly to the brands' showrooms that just did the runway show.

If you want the excitement and the show biz, they saved the best for last, at night at The Majestic.

Art Hearts Fashion is still beating.

From Twilight to AMC's "Dark Winds," Kiowa J. Gordon manages to open a salon, The Ice Collective, Where Pampering Equals Professionalism.

 By Laura Medina

When he was acting as "Twilight's" Embry Call thirteen years ago, he never imaged he'll be owning a hip and trendy hair and nail salon, with its own gel nail polish line.

But, here he is, with his The Ice Collective at 12216 Ventura Blvd. Studio City, CA. 91604.

It actually came from his girlfriend, why not open a luxurious salon to cater to their friends' needs and wants when it comes to grooming and getting ready for red carpets, premieres, and events?

Most people's idea of pampering is Kiowa's and his influencers' and friends' idea of professionalism, a little bit of grooming to boost the self-esteem and confidence to face the cameras.

The real professionalism comes from his staff's teamwork, where Tyreema, the hairstylist and makeup artist, jumps right in, fixing an updo while the guest is getting a decorative manicure done.  That's teamwork.

Sure, Kiowa Gordon is super busy managing and running a salon while busy acting in "Dark Winds," "Reservation Dogs," "Roswell, New Mexicio," and "The Boardinghouse Reach."  Through observation and listening to his fellow actors, colleagues, and friends, Kiowa can cater to their needs by implementing services to address their grooming needs.

Right now, The Ice Collective does pedicure, manicure, hairstyling, and makeup styling.

While being pampered, styled, and serviced, staff will gladly offer you nonalcoholic refreshments.  Next month, they're planning to implement brow waxing services.

Remember, the Oscars are only a corner away, on March 27th.

Book your hair and nail and makeover services at Kiowa Gordon's The Ice Collective at 12216 Ventura Blvd. Studio City, CA. 91604.

The Stars Partied First But Then, Fans Shop FX's "Snowfall" Season 5's Community Pop-Up Shops in a Pop-Up Mall.

 By Laura Medina

To let FX's "Snowfall" fans share in celebrating "Snowfall" returning for Season Five, FX threw a community pop-up shop, actually a pop-up mini mall filled with local neighborhood businesses, some prominent during the Super Bowl, such as Bricks & Woods.  Brick & Woods did a limited edition collaboration with the NFL, for the Super Bowl, intense.

In Season 5 of "Snowfall," Franklin and his family are rich enough profiting on the crack trade to reinvest in local real estate.

To continue the positive, constructive vibe to this very day, after the previous night premiere party with the cast and crew, the sold-out pop-up mall was still brimming with local vendors selling their curated, tasteful wares to "Snowfall" fans.

More than promotional swag and souvenirs, the lucky fans come out with cool items from local businesses that Season 5 of "Snowfall" is promoting, giving back to the community.

Season 5 of "Snowfall" returns to FX, February 23rd. at 7:00pm Pacific Standard Time, starting a fresh, new marathon of Season 5's Episodes 1 and 2 for two hours.
