Just by looking at the Heatheretthe makeup collection, I can see the influence of New York City ‘clubbing’.

This is how MAC Cosmetics describes MAC Heatherette: Hello 24-hour party people! When it comes to life in the big city, Richie Rich and Traver Rains know what time it is!

Two ways to wear it…Good girl by day-Shine and rise! Or bad girl by night-sparkle like a superstar on page six!

Warren Tricomi Los Angeles Salon Rocks!
During my recent trip to LA Fashion Week, I had an amazing opportunity to get my hair colored at the Warren Tricomi Los Angeles Salon in West Hollywood.
Kaz Amor, an expert colorist and partner at Warren Tricomi Los Angles, greeted me as soon as I stepped in the salon, and made sure I was looked after my entire visit.
The fabulous colorist at Warren Tricomi Los Angeles, Matthew G., transformed my amateur blond highlights into a movie star material blond highlights. My hair color never looked so polished and glamorous.
Matthew and his apprentice, Claudia, treated my hair like gold. And Gianni Rostti was responsible for my beautifully blow dried hair. I was sad to leave Los Angles that day, knowing I’m going to be away from my favorite new salon.
