Hallie Bowman, Celebrity Stylist for Pantene, shares an inside look at what to expect. “Last season, we saw a lot of conventional looks – super sleek, tamed texture, perfect twists and classic chignons. When I think spring, I think unexpected playfulness, so I’m excited that the hair...

It’s always the little things that count, and when doing nails, it doesn’t get much smaller than nail dust. Filing leaves minuscule particles that float in the air as well as tuck into the sidewall/cuticle area.  An even greater issue is the often unspoken occupational hazard. ...

New security measures at Palm Beach International Airport have left workers holding their noses.  It seems the requirement for passengers to remove shoes before searches meant tired, smelly feet residue permeating the security area carpet – enough to require new carpeting or tiling of...

Gaga & Beyonce Video Debut: Telephone 9pm PST Or you can just watch it here, now Beyonce looks delish with the gorgeous cat eyes, and Betty...

After my OPI Pusherguard Cuticle Pusher disappeared (some blame it on the ghost at work – more on that later) I was hard pressed to find another tool that would so gently push and clean the nail.  The OPI tool also has a patent pending design, so I knew finding another implement that...

London’s bad girl manicurist, Sophie Robson, reveals Chanel’s Jade Rose release for A/W 10.  What do you think?

What do most men have wrong when it comes to shaving (not using a proper lotion, shaving too quickly, not replacing blades often enough, etc.)? Nearly 80% of men say shaving irritates their skin with razor burn being the most common complaint.  Men often cause razor burn by applying  too...

At best, this Givenchy dress reminds me that the Olympics and Carnivale (well, South America) are hand in hand for the first time, evah. I don’t know what happened to the purple dress mojo – see Charlize – but it was missing this eve. Zoe is practically perfection though, and...

Vera Farmiga stole the show, hands down, in this deep pink gown by Marchesa.  The ruffles were the mod touch for the night, and the gown absolutely flows over her body like a dream.  Her hair mirrored similar form with a slight wave, but was not overly controlled or...

A vision of loveliness.  Cameron Diaz brought the nude look via dress by Oscar de la Renta and carried the red on lips and nails, which was stunning. Let’s not forget the lovely coif.  After a night of ‘editorial hair’ (mostly pinned back hair with flyaways), we have...

Oscars 2010 was the year of editorialized hair, which meant a lot of slick backed looks with (read: frizz). Diane Krueger had one of the prettiest takes – somewhat intricate with braids and ponytails and rolls. Danilo, Celebrity Stylist for Pantene, styled this look for Kruger and...

The colors are perfect. So is the face and body. But the addition of those rosettes adorning each boobage like oversized pasties is all wrong for Academy Awards night. The back was ambitious but looked like it belonged to a different gown in the same color...

Whenever I see rosettes, I always remember the episode of Project Runway where the Ohio fashion designer made little rosettes all over her ‘world traveler’ outfit, including butt pockets. She was laughed off of the show, but it only made me notice the little flowerettes popping...

JLo is another actress that is Pretty in Pink, but for someone who wasn’t even nominated, there was a whole lotta dress going on.  The sculptured/ruffled look was dominant and of course Lopez carried off one of the most extravagant of the evening.  Lovely to see how the concept...

This actress is carrying several trends – nude nails, red highlighted strands, statement pieces. She’s also got the confidence to go off shoulder – and you can feel the same way! The first to respond in comments with the correct identification of this actress wins Dove...
