Golden Globe week has officially kicked off this past Monday, immediately as soon as folks set foot back in Los Angeles from holiday vacation.
Gradually warming up with discreet jewelry previews at top Beverly Hills jewelry boutiques, things actually got going with the World Gold Council's Miss Golden Globe Luncheon, honoring this year's Miss Golden Globe, Francesca Eastwood, Clint's daughter with actress Frances Fisher. Francesca is following her older half-sister's footsteps, Kathryn Eastwood. She's also the official spokemodel for Too Face Cosmetics.
At the discreet yet elegant setting at the Selma House, the World Gold Council displayed gold jewelry that might appear on today's red carpet, as such as Neil Lane.
The next day, at a top secret location in Beverly Hills, REELZ Channel's "MovieStyle" host and fashion expert, Michael O' Conner stated that tonight's Golden Globe movie and television nominees or future nominees do dictate what type of jewelry and gowns that will appear on today's red carpet arrivals.
"Downton Abbey" Edwardian filigree cuff bracelets, rings, and necklaces will be hot among the Golden Globe's youngest nominees who never saw it before. This is something new for them.
As "Downton Abbey" Season 4 lurches forward into the Twenties then "The Great Gatsby" hits theaters during the Summer, Twenties' Art Deco motifs and those Chanel long, strands of pearls to swing with while dancing the Charleston are slipping in.
As for color, Michael predicts big chunks of emerald greens, purple, and indigo rare gems.
Michael O' Connor said that dressing the Golden Globes is the most interesting because stylists are dressing both television and movie actresses which means they are dressing the widest age range with the most variety of generations all in one night at the same event. Both tweens and teens, such as Ariel Winters has to be dress appropriately and elegantly as the veterans such as Maggie Smith and Shirley McLaine.
Yes...Mr. O' Connor said that dressing the Golden Globe is all over the place but that's the fun of it.
The HBO/L'Oreal has all bases covered in the jewelry department.
At the more affordable and adjustable Pandora Charm Bracelets Suite, with a bracelets in silver, gold, fabric, and leather, the price ranges from $1,415 for a gold bracelet to a $40 fabric bracelet. The bracelets can be decorated with $100 pave stone charms to $35 polished wood beads. This is a great starter jewelry for tween fans of tween and teen stars.
Here's a ingenious jewelry that adapts as one passes through one's life stages...Sophia Fiori Jewelry.
Set at normal jewelry price ranges, you really get your bang for your bucks with this multiple, interchangeable rings and bracelets.
Sophia Fiori has a ring with a double-sided center piece. One side is a clear-cut diamond then the other side is a pink gem. All you have to do is flip the double-ring, hinged bands to reveal opposite side of the gem. You can use the clear diamond as the engagement, keep it then flip it over to the pink gem when you're back on the market. Two rings in one. It's a keeper.
Another clever Sophia Fiori ring is a ring set or kit with interchangeable ring bands that can slide in and out of between the existing ring. Each interchangeable ring band comes in different colored encrusted gems with one base ring in clear diamond ring. You can switch it up with colored bands in green, pink, red, and blue.
Here's a Sophia Fiori bracelet that will have you flipping out. It's a bracelet that has a centerpiece that you can flip over for the opposite side that has the colored gems then flip back again for the clear centerpiece. Two bracelets in one. See, you'll get your money's worth. What's even better...these jewelry will stay through out your lifetime and adapts with you as you go through various stages in life...or at least, pass them down to your deserving heirs.
The fun doesn't stop at the jewelry suites.
Styling and beauty suites pop up when nominees, presenters, and hosts need quick, expert fix-me-ups right before the big day.
L'Oreal is the official makeup for the Golden Globes. They set up shop at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills where in its Beauty Lounge, there's a Manicure Bar, a Hair/Blow-Out Bar, and a Makeover Bar where the lucky guests get to try and test the newest and latest L'Oreal nail polishes, nail jewelry stickers, the latest skincare and makeup innovations and the hottest haircare products,
The Friday before the Golden Globes was L'Oreal's head consulting makeup artist's, Billy B.'s birthday. The theme of the Golden Globes must be the year of the nerd because Beyonce's, Lady Gaga's , Mariah Carey's and Britney Spears' makeup artist, Billy Brasfield called himself a nerd growing up in Mississippi, enough for him to move to New York and become the leading makeup artist that he is today. The night before, at a fundraiser honoring Carol Burnette, she said she was a nerd in high school that her class' popular kids didn't even remember her.
The annual HBO/L'Oreal pre-Golden Globe party threw him a birthday, just in time for the 21st anniversary for its Colour Riche Line.
The prepping and gifting was still continuing until the night before the awards. GBK was media central, spotlighting what the nominees will get or what skincare and makeup they will use on the big day.
For the nominees who might not win, here's a care package to take care of that.
Gifting and styling lounges are a launch pad for cutting-edge products...
Jetson Electric Bikes made its debut at GBK...
The latest beauty trends to emerge out of the beauty lounges are Tweezerman ProCurl and Slant Tweezers for last-minute grooming. imPRESS by Broadway Nails offer quick, slip-on nail polish stickers to glam up your fingers in the limo. Hairstylists fell in love with Jose Eber's Infrared Blow Dryer, twice the power for half the time.
Here's the scribe displaying today's official L'Oreal Golden Globe 2013 makeover, wearing the latest L'Oreal skincare and makeup...
April, one of the makeup team actually doing the Golden Globe makeup, patted Revitalift Deep-Set Wrinkle Repair then painted Revitalift Miracle Blur for that soft-focus look. She radiated the inner face then sculpture the outer face with True Match Luminous Foundation in W5 and C4. For a fake face lift, she contour the face with Powder in NS and C6.
This Revitalift Miracle Blur has Broad Spectrum SPF 30.
Before the eyes got done, those peeper were prepped with a roller ball of Hydra-Energetic Ice Cold Eye Roller to shrink down the bags and the puffiness.
The eyes got smoldering in L'Oreal Colour Riche Eye Shadow 817 Kit in "So Over It."
Then, April rimmed the peepers in the yet-to be released-in stores, "The Super Slim Infallible 12 Hour Liquid Eyeliner" in black of course.
Visible Lift Color Lift Blush in Berry shape and flush out the cheeks for a healthy but vivid look.
Ok, this scribe got the traditional technique when her lips were outlined in Velvet Wine Lip liner; but here's the new trick to define and flesh out those puckers.
Smother on, first, Colour Riche Rich Plum Lip Gloss and Colour Caresse Lipstick in Satiny Cocoa Lipstick all-over these smackers...if you want to skip the dark lip liner...for dept and lip definition. Then, watch out for this, swipe the inner, central portion of the upper and lower lip with a much lighter, flesh pink/mauve Colour Caresse Merino Mauve Lipstick then plump out those smackers with Colour Riche Soft Pink Lip Gloss or in Soft Mauve for that defined but out-there plumped lips.
As this scribe sat in the makeup chair being made up for Billy B.'s party, I spotted L'Oreal's new Sublime Sun Spray-On Sunscreen SPF 50+, the company's new oil-free liquid sunscreen spray, the new sheer protection.
The digits got decorated too, when L'Oreals manicurists slick on a fleshy, coral "Versailles Romance" Colour Riche Nail Polish then slip the new nail sticker, "Colour Riche Nail Lingerie" a nail sticker of subtle but touchable gold or silver bling dots for that sprinkly ombre sunrise.
What's even cooler is that you can dash afterwards to your local Target/Wal-mart/CVS to get your Golden Globe fix at reasonable prices and even greater with coupons while building points.
Affordable and attainable glamour.
